"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.
Sorry, I'm told that Black Lives Matter protesters already burned it to the ground, nothing left to burn.
Also, can I just say I'm a little disappointed in the lack of MASSIVE PROTESTS in response to the indictment? C'mon guys, storm the courthouse, what're you afraid of? What a buncha Beta cucks.
Just last week there was a commenter on a NYT article working the propaganda phrase “BLM riots” into every response, and none of the centrist totebaggers batted an eye.
I think Ol' Taco Loco is just his TV lawyer, he's got another guy to do the actual lawyering in the courtroom. The guy represented Mafort and Igor Fruman and managed to get some jail time for both of them, I hope he can do the same for Trump.
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.
The YUUGE Pro-Trump protest outside Trump Tower yesterday was ONE guy with his pick of microphones to talk into. Guess most of 'em decided not to leave the diner, they now expect the reporters to come to THEM.
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...
Years wasted arguing with people on the internet has had one benefit, I can now tell pretty quickly when I'm in a "More cynical than thou" contest and I'm now old enough and wise enough to step away. "Oh, is that hope I see in your eyes? Wait right here, I'll run and get my big wet blanket!"
Shitr! I would say that, as sometime King of Poland and inventor of 'pataphysics, were we to roll out the Debraining Machine on this tawdry individual, the vacancy in his brainpan would vacuum all in, like the monster Charybdis.
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.
LOL. Happy Arraignment Day to all who celebrate -- which let's face it, is basically all of us.
It Ain’t Paris, but…
As Trump schemes to dodge his detainment
And we nurture upwelling disdainment
Though come what may
Remember this day
For we’ll always have the arraignment
Arraignment pains seen mainly with disdain
Disdain arraignment? Vainly. . .without brains
That thing that Queens Man ere detested
At last Alvin Bragg’s done behested
No mug shot for Donny
All hirsute and tawny
All the same, Queens Man’s been arrested
It's no Thrilla in Manilla, but at least we have the Excitement about the Indictment.
Save yer conniptions for the convictions.
Not sure I can muster a standing ovation if he gets probation.
Honorable Mention for home detention?
Can I be thankful for a bracelet on Trump's ankle?
As long as you don't expect a charm bracelet. Cause that ain't gonna happen.
“Happy Arraignment Day!”
And also with you. All Rise!
May the airing of the grievances begin!
One of your very best, Roy. The Casabianca improvisation is an all-timer.
My buddy's dad got himself a tape recorder back in the 50's. The first thing he recorded was:
"The dog stood on the burning deck.
The flames leapt up beyond his neck.
Hot Dog."
For which my buddy and I were forever grateful.
"Trump’s lawyer, who requested anonymity, "
Is the funniest goddamn thing ever!
I think they've streamlined the process now so Trump lawyers just go directly to jail, since it's where they all end up anyway.
Just heard the guy he's got defending him also defended Manafort and Igor Fruman. I wish him similar success in this trial.
Is that what they mean by legal practice?
He'll keep practicing until he gets it right!
If he's good enough for Igor, he's good enough for Frankenstein!

I'm reluctant to "storm" the NYDOJ over the simple failure of them to throw a MUCH BIGGER BOOK at Queens Man.
But if we was to Stormy the DOJ...? Whaddya think?
Note: I have many, many (mostly dumb) knock-ons for that last line, but I am refraining as a public service, so's y'all can have more fun widdit.
Note2: I barely restrained myself in THAT last line either.
You're welcome, I think...
Just last week there was a commenter on a NYT article working the propaganda phrase “BLM riots” into every response, and none of the centrist totebaggers batted an eye.
Meanwhile in Tennessee, humpty-thousands are protesting on barely any advance notice. Paid by George Soros no doubt.
The latkes in my box lunch were cold.
Tacopina saying "President Fraud, uh Trump" is one of those moments that make my life worth living.
I've been calling him "tacopenis" which is mean, and ruins two things I generally like.
I think Ol' Taco Loco is just his TV lawyer, he's got another guy to do the actual lawyering in the courtroom. The guy represented Mafort and Igor Fruman and managed to get some jail time for both of them, I hope he can do the same for Trump.
Should drop here that Queens Man has my neighbor at his table. Boris is NOT his lawyer – apparently Boris is his legal advisor. I got nothin'...
A tsunami of (needed!) laffs.
Current status: ROTFLMFAO.
Gracias, Roy.
Careful there, M – you wouldn't wanna blow yer cover.
How so?
Your impressively cultivated shall we say pricklyness is in sharp contrast to today's disposition, is all I'm sayin'...
Actually, I’m only prickly when triggered. Well that, age-related prickliness 😉
You gotta lawn?

Yeah, the cameras. No matter the outcome, some folks gonna say "Pix or it didn't happen!"
I can't wait to see the courtroom sketches.
It's going to be my favorite artistic depiction of Trump, setting aside the possibility of a chalk outline on a sidewalk.
Tupac Shanker is being recognized more and more.
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.

MTGreen's arrival will surely build the media scrum, and collect some scum.
When New York's Finest get today's ammo allotment, it'll be dumdums for whoever gets duty monitoring her.
Nice thing about being a member of Congress is if nobody shows for your protest, you can just claim it's a press conference.

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

Sounds like the guy spent more than a little time as a corporate law-avoider.
Oh, and 2 marks for Scenes We'd Like To See.
We must respect the classics.

Ubu Roi only gets funnier as life! Can't wait for the debrainer!
Shitr! I would say that, as sometime King of Poland and inventor of 'pataphysics, were we to roll out the Debraining Machine on this tawdry individual, the vacancy in his brainpan would vacuum all in, like the monster Charybdis.
"Ask your doctor if Charybdis is right for you."
I keep wanting to be either the guy who names drugs, or who names colors.
Why not both?!
The colors you see while on drugs...
Back! Back in your box I say!
...this isn't going to work, is it?
"Can't be boxed in!" -- Howard Moon
Hurrah, arse-horns, long live King Ubu!
Hip, hip, ass over tip, hurrah for old Ubu!
Trump, Giuliani and Eastman on trial together for seditious conspiracy is my fantasy.
Toss in my former misbegotten Jesus-waving congressman Meadows, and I'm there.
Schrödinger's Voter is always good for a (bitter) laugh...
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.
Never mind your eyes – what's that stuff oozing from yer scalp?
Did you ever see "The Fifth Element"...?
EEEEEVE
ILLLLLLLL

This is a majestic fever dream of a True Crime story. Aces.
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.
"This is the future, Winston. A slow-motion convoy of Chevy Suburbans going to the airport FOREVER."
Well, I'd say we had it coming.
Hearted for the truth, disheartened by the reality.
