In case you hadn't noticed it's 2024, not 2016. That schtick is so old and worn you could be like, I dunno, maybe some GOPer trying to impeach Biden.

As soon as you look even slightly in to the classified documents thing and there are differences in intent, relevance, quantity and classification with regard to Biden and Trump. David in Gwent as we know views things in a black and white manner. At least tedmauls daughter will grow beyond it. Which reminds of a section in Terry pratchett book where a character states that being old doesn't necessarily mean you are wise, it can just mean being stupid for a very long time.
I do think societal constructs and systems struggle to deal with outright arseholes/sociopaths/pathological liars and the systems we try to put in place to protect people from them will often fail to do so and in some instances protect the arsehole. You see this with Trump, Johnson and others.

There was another marvelous example of the Traitors 4D chess yesterday.
He overrode his Lawyers advice & demanded they call a egotistical bell-end of a lawyer, called Costello, who represented Rudy & at one stage Cohen was thinking about hiring him, as a witness, to testify that Cohen had told him that he was paying the money on his behalf, & Trump knew nothing about it; something Cohen had already confirmed himself, but explained that this was part of protecting the Traitor.
Costello is the Traitors kind of Lawyer, an obnoxious, confrontational cunt; & he was exactly like that even as a witness, & whatever good his Lawyers had done with their cross of Cohen, was comprehensively undone by Costello being a prick in the witness box, to the point when the Judge ordered the court cleared, while he told Costello that if he didn't stop he was going to cite him for contempt & have his testimony struck.
The Judge is the father figure for the Jury, & they will always take their lead from him; so when they see the Judge balling out a witness for the defence, it's the defence that suffers.
The Traitors lawyers saw all of this coming, & loudly leaked to every Press outlet that this wasn't their idea, but their clients, but they'll be the ones the Traitor blames when the verdict comes down.
I think he might even have done enough to lose this case.

Donald Trump has taken down a video posted to his Truth Social account that included reference to a "unified Reich" after President Joe Biden's campaign and others criticised the use of language often associated with the Nazi regime.
The 30-second video, which was posted yesterday afternoon, was no longer available on the website by early this morning. A person familiar with the matter confirmed the post had been removed from the site.
The video portrayed a positive vision for the country should the Republican presidential candidate defeat Mr Biden in November, featuring hypothetical newspaper headlines about a booming economy and a crackdown on immigration at the southern border.
At two points in the video, text below a larger headline reads: "INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED... DRIVEN BY THE CREATION OF A UNIFIED REICH."
But Biden is definitely the one that's a threat to Israel

I wish I was there to see the arrogant shit getting filleted.
Donald Trump made the curious decision to put on a single relevant witness at his New York trial, opting for a MAGA loyalist tangentially involved in the porn star hush money saga—a strategy that failed spectacularly when his testimony only further incriminated the former president.
Robert Costello’s role in the Stormy Daniels affair is comedic recursion, a legal version of the Yo Dawg meme. When the feds in 2018 tried to flip then-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, Costello was the New York lawyer who tried to keep him from cooperating—a cover-up to hide the way Cohen had faked legal invoices, which was itself a cover-up of the hush money payment, which was a cover-up to stop the woman from ruining Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
For a brief moment in 2018, Costello tried to become Cohen’s lawyer and his “backchannel” to the powerful politician who might corruptly be able to protect him by sidelining the FBI investigation. The idea was to have Cohen represented by Costello, who was close friends with Rudy Giuliani, who was advising the Trump White House—a plan copiously detailed in emails.
...
Susan Hoffinger, the chief of the Manhattan District Attorney’s investigations division, questioned Costello about his emails during his cross-examination on Tuesday morning. She started by directing the jury’s attention to the way Costello flaunted his personal ties to Giuliani when he and his law partner, Jeff Citron, first met with Cohen at the New York Regency hotel on April 17, 2018.
When Costello asserted he didn’t, Hoffinger pointed to an email Costello sent Cohen two days later in which he wrote, “I told you my relationship with Rudy which could be very very useful to you.”
“Doesn’t that mean you mentioned that to him at the first meeting?” Hoffinger asked.
“No,” Costello defiantly said.
Hoffinger then pointed to another email in which Costello told his law partner that Giuliani’s new spot at the White House made it “all the more reason” for Cohen to hire their firm, thanks to a connection “which I mentioned at our meeting.”
Costello wouldn’t budge. But he was visibly annoyed.
For an hour, Hoffinger turned Costello’s overconfidence into a weakness. The previous day, Costello had asserted that the emails “speak for themselves,” thinking they’d plainly show Cohen was in the wrong. She threw that right back at him on Tuesday morning, pointing to an April 21, 2018 email in which Costello told Cohen that Giuliani “said thank you for opening this back channel of communication.”
“And this email speaks for itself, right sir?” she asked.
Costello demurred, saying he’d be “happy” to explain what he really meant.
“That's all right, sir,” she dismissed him, moving on.
One by one, Hoffinger read through emails showing what appeared to be a quiet campaign to pressure Cohen into remaining on the Trump team. And with every pushback from Costello, the lawyer only lost more credibility—suffering the same fate he’d hoped for Cohen.
When Costello finally conceded one point, it proved to be a damaging example.
Hoffinger showed jurors how Costello had assured Cohen in an April 21, 2018 email—just as the FBI was investigating him—that he had nothing to worry about because “you have friends in high places.” Hoffinger wondered aloud, who was he talking about?
I have gotten to know so many amazing United States Secret Service Agents - It has been my honor to have them protecting me and my family since our historic 2016 Victory against “Beautiful” Hillary Clinton. Shockingly, however, Crooked Joe Biden’s Department of Injustice authorized the use of “deadly force” in their Illegal, UnConstitutional, and Un-American RAID of Mar-a-Lago, and that would include against our Great Secret Service, who they thought might be “in the line of fire.” As I told Crooked Joe’s DOJ, if they needed anything, “all they had to do was ask.” They did not have to ILLEGALLY AND UNCONSTITUTIONALLY RAID my home, and rummage through my family’s, including Barron’s, private quarters. END THESE THIRD WORLD WITCH HUNTS, AND MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

Getting ready for the BRONX. Big Crowd! Will be broadcast all over television. Enjoy!
25,000 people turned up according to the orange Shitznpants
I don't think that crowd has a combined IQ that high.
With every gathering for the Traitor, I wonder just how many there are Journalists, & bloggers, & local business people in the GOP etc, etc, even to the point of how many are there because someone gave them 50 bucks to put on a MAGA hat & sit behind the traitor, so it looks to the cameras like he actually is popular. But it's all theater.

Happy Memorial Day to All, including the Human Scum that is working so hard to destroy our Once Great Country, & to the Radical Left, Trump Hating Federal Judge in New York that presided over, get this, TWO separate trials, that awarded a woman, who I never met before (a quick handshake at a celebrity event, 25 years ago, doesn’t count!), 91 MILLION DOLLARS for “DEFAMATION.” She didn’t know when the so-called event took place - sometime in the 1990’s - never filed a police report, didn’t have to produce the “dress” that she threatened me with (it showed negative!), & sung my praises in the first half of her CNN Interview with Alison Cooper, but changed her tune in the second half - Gee, I wonder why (UNDER APPEAL!)? The Rape charge was dropped by a jury! Or Arthur Engoron, the N.Y. State Wacko Judge who fined me almost 500 Million Dollars (UNDER APPEAL) for DOING NOTHING WRONG, used a Statute that has never been used before, gave me NO JURY, Mar-a-Lago at $18,000,000 - Now for Merchan!

that looks a nailed on further payment due, and because the last fine wasn't enough to stop him lying about her (and he's already confirmed to the court he did assault her) the next fine would simply from a practical point of view need to be larger, the previous fine proving sadly insufficient.

One of them previously attacked an FBI office & got shot to death, so I'd say that's already happened.

One of the US networks reporting that the Traitors legal team regard the Jury not returning a guilty verdict within an hour of starting their deliberations
Small victories eh guys
I think the jury will do their duty & consider the case, & give it the consideration that any defendant should expect .... & then I expect them to get to Friday, & decide they don't want to be sequestered over the weekend, & they'll give their verdict.
