    And this ain’t no ordinary ledge where the bottom is visible. This is a ledge over an abyss, a bottomless void.

    It’s kinda like Nietzsche’s famed evolutionary “abyss," except there is no rope to cross the void and evolve into "the future."

    In fact, MAGA-GQP cut the rope and has us plunging into the abyss, devolving America by decades and centuries into the past.

    Nietzsche laughs…

    Yeah, one has plans tomorrow (they’re normally off on Wednesday but that prevents a reschedule) and another has an early afternoon flight on Friday. Monday is a holiday. You don’t want the jury to start deliberations on Thursday then break for a long weekend so they’ll get started on Tuesday. 

    I heard there may be some high school/college graduations too.

    Did we get the moment in the courtroom where the judge tells Trump that it's his decision and his decision alone whether or not to testify?

    At least call out his BS and say if he wants to talk about the other witnesses in the case the proper forum is under oath from the witness stand.

    The Mooch is on CNN right now.  Says Cohen will have receipts and sink the dotard.

    Whoa,  I was listening to a YouTube by an ex Navy F-14 rear seat guy whose call sign is Mooch when I read this and was confused for a bit.

    I'm not so sure. I feel like he could tell you to do something and then you could just pretend you did it and he wouldn't know the difference.

    Just tell him you did it when he was resting his eyes.

    He probably misses the whistle guy.  Maybe they can pipe the whistle noises in 24/7.

    It's kind of a fine line from a judicial perspective.  The actual affair and any details are actually irrelevant to the case, including whether it actually happened or not.  Even if it was proven conclusively that the affair did or did not happen, that would not affect the case.

    But the details are sordid and do not reflect well on the defendant, that is, are prejudicial to the defendant.  So, under Rule 4.06 of the New York Rules of Evidence, the admissibility of the gory details is limited.

    However, Stormy Daniels' credibility is at issue for matters not including whether the deed occurred, so, her story and the credibility thereof is at issue, which allows the prosecution some latitude in exploring the details in order to boost her credibility.

    But, the prosecution, being prosecutors, wants to get in the dirt on Trump any way they can.  

    We applaud this, because Trump, but it's a bit of dirty gamesmanship by the prosecution.

    Isn't her story relevant to motive?  Her testimony is what she would have said in October 2016 but Trump wanted to avoid it being public because of the election.  He paid her off for campaign reasons and that's where all this goes.

    There’s that super principled religious conservative Mike Johnson. It’s almost like he’s just entirely full of shit.

    Is he afraid his "stepson" will recount all the Stormy films they watched together?

    Not true.  They have some policy positions.  They are just breathtakingly stupid and cruel.

    [snip]

    Your Trump friends and family are shitty people with shitty brains and shitty ideas who support shitty things.  You should spend your time convincing them that the most important Trump policy they should follow is chugging antifreeze.

    Is this the secret decoder ring that tells us the line a GQP politician cannot cross?

    Despicable behavior to humans = ok

    Despicable behavior to dogs = political death

    Surely, there’s gotta be some dirt on malignant narcissist dotard doing something evil to a dog.

    It's a crying shame this came out before Trump picked her for VP.

    Maybe he still will, maybe she will get the HHS cabinet position.

    The MAGATs eat this shit up. Noem trying to twist the narrative from her lying about having met w/ KJU into her not wanting to discuss her "important" meetings w/ world leaders while insinuating KJU's name was removed on her behalf due to the top secret nature of her discussions is just the type of fodder the Shadow Government crowd loves to hear.

    I think I’ve seen at least 5 different clips from shows she’s been on in the past few days where she’s being questioned about meeting him and she won’t answer the question.  She keeps going on these shows, knowing she’s going to be asked about Lil’ Kim.

    She continues to go on these shows and continues to refuse to answer questions she knows she’s going to be asked in order to distract from the story about killing the dog.

    Well,  She was really meeting with Dennis Rodman.

    Todd Blanche, one of Trump's lawyers, complains to Justice Merchan that the defense only learned who the prosecution's next witness would be 30 minutes ago. The prosecutors' lack of trust toward the defense team is underscored here.

    Prosecutors suggested early on that they did not trust Trump with the knowledge of which witnesses were being called in advance — a professional courtesy in many trials — because of worries that he would attack them on social media.

    Mob shit.

    Yes, and if it is a "professional courtesy" and your client has already been sanctioned 10 times and threatened with jail for witness tampering it probably comes off as whining.

    This could actually be the case. It would fire up his moron minions, sure, but it could also show a shit ton of people that aren’t paying attention that he is actually a criminal fuck head. Maybe then they would get off their asses and vote. 
     

    Or it could backfire spectacularly. Whatever. 

    Either way I'm here for the Schadenfreude.

    I'm sorry, we want to see Will Farrell's tits?  Haven't we already done that, and wasn't it rather disappointing?

    Body shop sent me a picture of the painted cowl.  They are waiting for lower humidity to paint the body.  Said they won’t send pics of the body, I have to come see it in person. :)

    We do a decent amount of work in MI and I'm hearing this a lot, from people who hate Trump...they won't vote for Trump and they would have voted for Biden, and now will sit at home.  It's a "Biden is fucking my people (nonsense, I know), so I guess Trump will fuck all of you now."  Yes, it makes zero sense but there's a lot of browns that can swing MI and it's a real worry.  I still thing Biden is looking solid but that war could be what swings this thing...

    This is why I believe the conspiracy theory that Russia and Iran colluded to get Hamas to attack when they did.

    Plus categories 

    - makes dotard’s eyebrows look normal

    - sure to carry N Dakota and it’s 3 electoral college votes that have gone R since 1968

    - can’t possibly add any drama to the campaign

    - homogenizes the ticket with weird old white guys to solidify the R brand and not confuse the coalition of white nationalist, racist, tradwife, confederate heritage, bathroom monitors

    Sure, it might be "standard operating procedure" to buy stories and not run them for whatever reason. I don't believe that part is inherently illegal. Unethical, perhaps, but not against the law. The illegality is on Trump (and Cohen and others) for trying to conceal how the payments were handled and how they were accounted for.

    Well that and the fact that Pecker testified the reason Trump wanted it done was not to keep it From Baron and Melania but because of the election which means that it wasn't a personal favor it was a campaign contribution.  The fact that Trump never repaid it reinforces this.
