LOL. Happy Arraignment Day to all who celebrate -- which let's face it, is basically all of us.

One of your very best, Roy. The Casabianca improvisation is an all-timer.

"Trump’s lawyer, who requested anonymity, "

"President Fraud" will no doubt enjoy being the center of attention once again. Every camera in the country will be point at him, every microphone held ready to capture whatever drips from his lips.

Meanwhile, Republicans are going to prove that Democrats have weaponized the government by weaponizing the government to undermine Bragg and the entire Department of Justice. Republican's monumental incompetence may not be enough to save us this time, but I'm sure it will be entertaining to watch the country burn to the fucking ground.

This was so uplifting. I've been in a funk ever since I found out that Trump's handlers were advising him to keep his mouth shut and, even worse, that damn liberal judge was banning cameras from the courtroom (I'm sure Our One True Leader had nothing to do with this decision!). One can only hope your oracular skills are still sharp.

PS It's good to see Tupac Shanker getting a shout out here. I'd hate to think his rap stylings about school decentralization were forgotten.

I particularly like “a few thousand spectators and every major news media.” Once when asked why he did something that distressed his mom, one of my kids said, “It’s fun, it makes her jump around like a monkey!” That’s Trump and the press. I only wish Bragg would send word he had a dental appointment and the arraignment has to be postponed until Wednesday.

Man, that's another great Scene We'd Like to See.

I happen to occasionally deal with a nominally "liberal" lawyer of great arrogance and self assurance. He crapped all over the idea that, say, WaffenJungend Cawthorn might suffer legal consequences and confidently said that none of the 6/1 insurrectionists would suffer any consequences. He's butthurt that New Mexico stripped Cowboy for tRump Couy Griffin of the right to hold office in that state for...committing a crime in an insurrection, muttering that "a real lawyer could have got him out of this."

He did not like me asking "why, do you know one?"

Yesterday he emitted that we should grow up and forget our "masturbatory fantasies" about a gag order, or even tRump being denied bail.

This, of course, went over like the verbal fart it was.

Hopefully, his "realism" will get a kick in the pants today..

And guy has to dream if he beats off to tRump finally seeing a legal consequence...

Trump, Giuliani and Eastman on trial together for seditious conspiracy is my fantasy.

This could be a movie. The humor reminds me of "Eat the Rich" with a bit of Carpenter's "They Live" thrown in.

I laughed like Rudy without bleeding from the eyes.

When any of us mere mortals gets hauled before a judge, we know to bow and scrape because a judge can really fuck you up if he wants to. But with Trump, every day is Opposite Day, he knows this judge will bend over backwards to give Trump the benefit of every ruling, just to prove that Trump's insults haven't tainted his impartiality.

Now I fear we will never be rid of him.

Dante's punishment for nations that don't own up to their racist past is they have to listen to play-by-play of trump's day, forever.
