Trump ready to dial up the insanity in New York Court this week?
… or will he go total - low energy - meek as a mouse & let his legal team try to save his ass?

MTG should be shut down. Democratically, of course, and ever so firmly.

Democrats are clearly fine with shut downs. They shut down the whole country over COVID for far too long… People here in Washington need to understand how it feels to be shut down.”

Boy, the news keeps coming in faster and faster. I wonder if this is a signal that the drain is approaching. Or some sort of singularity.

Shiv in da ribs…
“Then in a footnote, Smith uncoiled this line for the ages: “The defendant either purchased a gun in violation of the law and his conditions of release, or seeks to benefit from his supporters’ mistaken belief that he did so.””

Yeah, that would seem to be very likely - is he using the premium grade corporate legal team? or the Rodeo Clown legal teams that he has been employing for all of his political crap?
Probably a good chance he figures he is in a hopeless situation in this round of this case - so he will turn it into a complete shit-show circus - then appeal - claiming it was unfair because it turned into a shit show!

I agree: if this is going to cost him mid-9 figures he’s going to want every nickel’s worth of press out of it. He’s dialing the crazzzy up to 12. And that’s one more than 11, you know.

Trump Goes On Trial Today In New York
New York Attorney General Letitia James’s civil trial against Trump, his adult sons, and his business empire starts in New York. This is a bench trial so no jury selection. The judge already granted partial summary judgment in favor of the state, so the range of issues to be tried has narrowed considerably. The biggest issue to determine at trial is damages. James is seeking $250 million.
James and Trump are both expected to attend opening statements today in person.
Good morning from New York.

Yep. This is a one way ticket for him. If he loses he becomes someone he has never been. Powerless.

Having a “personal revelation” sounds an awful lot like being “woke”, so I doubt that Qevin has learned anything.
I’m stocking up on cheddar cheese popcorn.
