“At some point, you need to accept the court’s rulings,” Merchan said. “There’s nothing else to clarify. There’s nothing else to reargue. We’re going to have opening statements on Monday morning. This trial is starting.”

I want to send this man a gift basket.

Do these articles mean anything anymore? I’ve seen the media hype up Trump legal issues for the last 6 years saying, “Trump is in big trouble this time”. Each case it feels like nothing happens.

Because each case hadn’t been tried then, the wheels turn slowly even for normal people.

Unless you’re a black male. But then the “wheels” are police bullets.

This is true. He might never see justice, but this trial is as far as it ever got. 6 years ago we had Mueller investigation, where he refused to inspect him. Now he got 2 impeachments (sadly without removal), 4 indictments 2 federal, 2 state charges, 91 felonies and the first criminal trial that is happening right now.

Though keep in mind that if he is found innocent then this is it for that indictments. If he is found guilty, you can bet your ass he will appeal and this won’t be over.

“Donald absolutely could theoretically have a consequence from this action,” our not-really-a-lawyer who works in the periphery of that area of law weighs in.

So I’m listening to MSNBC and they said they got a glimpse of the papers that the gentleman tossed in the air before lightly roasting himself.

“Vast conspiracy theories” they said.

Blames the Simpsons for brainwashing American. Sounds like a total logical mind at work.

Capitalism’s demand for endless growth is unsustainable, OK, but I don’t see the link to setting yourself on fire. The government is complicit, yeah, we know, this isn’t new information. The Simpsons is a secret brainwashing plot? Incoherent rambling about climate change, COVID, random media, canned water, and somehow Trump is both part of the scam and the only one who can defeat it? I know I shouldn’t be expecting much in the way of, you know, rational thought, but I can’t even tell what his delusion consists of. It’s a ramble of self contradictory nonsense.

How did the government get his laptop and which branch of government was it? I hope it’s a cool story and not just “I forgot my laptop at the DMV”.

“Abolish our criminal government” by supporting a known member of the establishment with a history of fraud and infidelity. I don’t know what can go wrong.

But then again it’s a two party system there. So they really don’t have a way out and it might seem like the only one.

I read his reddit account before they deleted it, honestly didn’t seem qanon more left wing anti tech doomer. Obviously struggling with mental illness, seemed like a lot of the gang stalking types.

I suspect seeing the adulation people heaped on the last mentally ill person to kill themselves like this he was inspired.

You should read the reports of the reasons why they discharged some of the potential jurors. They dug deep into social media of everyone. Multiple potential jurors broke down crying.

I’d cry if I had to hear about what a gremlin I am online.

I’d get dismissed immediately since I don’t need a trial to figure out if a lifelong fraud and con man did some frauds and cons. It would be fortunate that I can skip some public humiliation but unfortunate for the course of justice they might pick an idiot instead.
