the racist, bigoted christian sexual predator and convicted rapist is now telling his followers that he isn't allowed to testify in his own trial because he's under a gag order. tOfficial Trial Thread..  - Page 13 502811600

wonder if that'll be their next assault and talking points relative to the US Judicial System.. scratch tOfficial Trial Thread..  - Page 13 2599972566

The Racist, Bigoted, Christian Sexual Predator and Convicted Rapist told reporters Thursday, “I’m not allowed to testify. I’m under a gag order. I guess, right?” He added, “I’m not allowed to testify, because this judge, who’s totally conflicted, has me under an unconstitutional gag order.” He continued by complaining that he’s “not allowed to talk” even when others attack him, then said again, “So I’m not allowed to testify because of an unconstitutional gag order.”

It is unclear whether he is shamelessly lying, or if he's too dumb to actually understand how gag orders work. Somehow, I suspect it's both.

That fat piece of shit sure loves to repeat himself his lies, over and over. You can easily pick out his buzz words or buzz phrases. I wish the gag was more comprehensive because it's nowhere near unconstitutional, he can definitely testify and say whatever he wants in his testimony, but he just keeps repeating it. Disgusting piece of filth is trying to manipulate his acolytes yet again, surprise surprise

dude, he isn't gonna be held accountable for anything.

Our only hope is that decent people hold him and his christian republican/libertarian followers accountable at the ballot box.

our favorite christian rapist is audibly cursing during his criminal trial now.. tOfficial Trial Thread..  - Page 13 502811600 tOfficial Trial Thread..  - Page 13 502811600

CNN -  The judge in Donald Trump’s hush money trial called the former president’s defense attorney to the bench and ordered him to speak to his client about his “contemptuous” behavior during adult film actress Stormy Daniels’ testimony Tuesday, according to the trial transcript.

“I understand that your client is upset at this point, but he is cursing audibly, and he is shaking his head visually and that’s contemptuous,” Judge Juan Merchan said to Trump’s defense attorney Todd Blanche during a mid morning break. “It has the potential to intimidate the witness and the jury can see that.”  


I'm sure the christians are upset.

No, it upsets the judge and in this context, the rule of law.  It is against the law in this situation. He is free to take the stand and defend himself all he wants. His attorney can ask him all sorts of questions who's answers can contradict ms. Clifford's account of events.

She honestly came off far more credible than I thought. Still not super credible because she's, well, a porn star and has made contradictory statements in the past under duress. But none the less much much better than I would have thought.

I'm just glad the christians are on record of being okay with their christian rapist hero who sits in court (which doesn't really matter.. as we know tOfficial Trial Thread..  - Page 13 502811600 ) across from his porn star friend all day cursing.

as I said, they really know how to pick their heroes, don't they.

Following along with this trial is hilarious. This Donald Trump lawyer Necheles cross examining Daniels is like how I would expect a fake TV lawyer would be cross examining a murderer in a crime TV show. She keeps making false suggestions and even poor little porn star stormy is catching her and making her look like an idiot.

Necheles:"the details of your story keep changing, right?
STORMY: "No"

She's been called out numerous times by stormy telling her the story is the story, that she keeps putting words in her mouth. What a terrible defense strategy that isn't even relevant to the ultimate core of the case about the conspiracy. this idiot lawyer keeps trying to poke holes in the story based on things that were written by different media outlets. It's all basically the same story but stormy is like nah bitch, the story is what it is, some outlets make it shorter and are for entertainment, others have more details. Necheles thought she had a mic drop moment when Stormy said she met trump for dinner but then never actually ate. Lawyers are the worst and stormy is schooling their asses, as much as she can anyways.

and, as we've even seen on display even here at tSwill, they've been conditioned to believe that jury verdicts don't even matter.

that's why I keep saying that it's up to decent people - folks who love their families, respect the Constitution, value democracy and traditional American values - to save us.

Just ask for forgiveness. We’re all good. Beat your wife, cheat on her, bang porn stars while your newborn is at home with mom.

Just as for forgiveness. No accountability. Slates clean.

That’s the new law and order in the Christian order.

that's the thing, though - with the republican/libertarian christians, you don't even need to ask for forgiveness. You double-down on it and they cheer.

Remember when the racist, bigoted christian sexual predator and convicted rapist mocked the disabled reporter and the republican/libertarians laughed and cheered?

it's easy to see it in hindsight, but if they cheer him mocking a disabled reporter and don't mind him bragging about grabbing women 'by the pussy', a felony conviction isn't going to bother them.

Pretty sure that falls under cheating in your wife. And I don’t recall 80% of Christian’s rallying behind BC. Pretty sure they were clutching their pearls with a death grip. Look how far they’ve evolved.

Nope, the only reason it's relevant at all is as a massive distraction for the defense and to kind of sort of illustrate why keeping this quiet was a campaign contribution. that part about it being a campaign contribution is very important but it's always been extremely clear that it was so the testimony isn't actually worth that much.  This will come down to documenting that Trump knew what was happening fully and that cohen wasn't actually going rogue behind trumps back in a misguided and hidden attempt to please "the boss"

the linchpin is cohen, will the defense succeed in distancing trump enough from cohen or will the prosecution have extremely strong evidence that trump was actively working with and directing cohen on the matter?  

if the trial ends today, Trump is not guilty.  Not that he doesn't look bad but there's not enough directly linking trump to the planning and execution of the coverup campaign contribution.  He's just a guy that signs the checks with suspicion that he knew because his operation is run by relatively few amounts of people and he undoubtedly knew exactly what he was paying for - and that's not enough.  Let's all hope they have some good evidence connecting the dots here.

Nope, the only reason it's relevant at all is as a massive distraction for the defense and to kind of sort of illustrate why keeping this quiet was a campaign contribution. that part about it being a campaign contribution is very important but it's always been extremely clear that it was so the testimony isn't actually worth that much.  This will come down to documenting that Trump knew what was happening fully and that cohen wasn't actually going rogue behind trumps back in a misguided and hidden attempt to please "the boss"

the linchpin is cohen, will the defense succeed in distancing trump enough from cohen or will the prosecution have extremely strong evidence that trump was actively working with and directing cohen on the matter?  

if the trial ends today, Trump is not guilty.  Not that he doesn't look bad but there's not enough directly linking trump to the planning and execution of the coverup campaign contribution.  He's just a guy that signs the checks with suspicion that he knew because his operation is run by relatively few amounts of people and he undoubtedly knew exactly what he was paying for - and that's not enough.  Let's all hope they have some good evidence connecting the dots here.

Prosecution has already established that Trump never signs a check without knowing exactly what it is for, that Trump worked with Cohan to create "catch & kill" for the campaign, that the NE bought stories to that purpose, that Cohan paid Stormy, that the Trump comptroller and Cohan worked out how he was to be paid with fraudulent records for what the payments were for and that Cohan discussed it with Trump and Trump signed the checks.

If the trial ended today it's probably 80/20 jury finds him guilty, after prosecution is done more like 95/5 and after the defense is done maybe 90/10.

Trump strategy is to do the trail then appeal appeal appeal until, he hopes, he is President.

I disagree that they e established the connection strong enough.  It's witness testimony that that is usually the case but that is not strong enough, IMO, to convict a former president.  I almost think there has to be more tapes for this to work.

And yes, trump is famous for his appeals.  It is beyond frustrating.  He tries quite literally every single legal maneuver available in all cases against him, including not objecting to witness testimony they know they will use as evidence that a mistrial should be declared.  Fortunately this judge is wise to most of their tricks.  And trump will continue to call foul because his games aren't working.

I don't mind the concept of appeals but he abuses it and therefore appeals should be processed in some kind of fast track process. Instead, he's allowed to drag every case out damn near indefinitely

Beyond reasonable doubt does not mean "smoking gun". His position as President is meaningless unless his defense is that it was an official act, and no one has suggested that defense.

I know there's no joke like an old joke and so here goes ...

1. Trump wasn't convicted of rape
2. Given the number of innocent people executed for crimes they didn't comment, I think any sane, logical thinking person would agree that a jury verdict isn't really proof of anything.

And now we return you to our regularly scheduled program ....
