BFTD Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 How long's he been typing in ALL CAPS, like your elderly grandpa after he got his first computer? Perhaps he's developed a rare eye condition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 If the deep state want to assassinate Trump all they would need to do is hack his computer and deactivate the all cap function. He would keel over from a coronary in about ten minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) I suspect he probably thinks that everything will be fine as he thinks the best legal support can be bought, and/or that he genuinely believes that the next election is his and that he'll just pardon himself. He's had everything he's ever wanted, and anything else is a conspiracy that can be eventually fixed for him.

By all accounts he’s struggling to buy any half decent legal support, let alone ‘the best’. It’s one thing for publicity seeking lawyers to make outlandish public statements on the late night talk shows prior to arraignment, it’s another thing to appear during and after arraignment when a whole different set of rules apply. More so if you’re going to be stuck with a lengthy trial and a very good chance of not getting paid to boot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt n Vinegar Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Anything to do with Trump gives me the boak, but I confess to a bit of concern that the trial is taking place in Florida. No justice system is perfect but I do wonder if a rabid republican of Trump's power fame and influence will ever be found guilty there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Only a couple of hundred Trump supporters outside the court. The convicted sex offender will be disappointed. Sky News trying to make a big deal of a non event. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No justice system is perfect but I do wonder if a rabid republican of Trump's power fame and influence will ever be found guilty there. No worry, it’s a Federal Court in Florida, specifically the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. All appeals from this fiasco go to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit…and appeals from there go to the Supreme Court of the United States. Appeals from the District Court are normally heard by a three judge panel selected from the Circuit judges, but in this case an En Banc hearing would be more likely (all judges). The current selected by composition of the 11th is 1 Ford, 1 Carter, 1 Reagan, 3 Bush Sr., 3 Clinton, 1 Bush Jr., 4 Obama, 6 Trump and 1 Biden. Appeals from the 11th Circuit are handled by Justice Thomas, who is the gatekeeper to the Supreme Court for quick decisions, but an appeal in this case would certainly be immediately accepted if there was any question(s) on any of the decisions or actions. At both the Circuit and Supreme Court levels, rather than a new trial, attorneys for both sides present cases in a short, formal hearing and then the Judges/Justices consider that, and the entire trial record, and issue a ruling. The open question would be if either side would risk a jury trial. With the selected judge (Cannon), Trump is likely to be happy with a non-jury trial, but she’s a legal nut job, and gets regularly overturned like a compost pile. The prosecution would likely agree to non-jury to remove some of the discretion that jurors have that judges do not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 He's stoating about a cafe in Miami right now getting publicly blessed by a priest and a Rabbi. I'm not even fucking kidding either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 This is the epitome of a cult of personality. It's remarkable watching this in real time. He's literally walked out of court, into a Cuban cafe in Miami and is turning it into a dog and pony show, perfect performance and free publicity. Unreal stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even fucking kidding either. Missed out on the Islamic, Hindu and Confucian support, eh? Appears a pre-planned stop with supporters in place. The choice of priest and Rabbi could backfire if they’re not the “right” type. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) Trump's gopher Walt Nauta, who's being indicted too, didn't even have a lawyer, so he's got to come back in a couple of weeks.

Go Donald, man of the people! Even better, Trump is ordered not to talk of the case to Nauta or any other witness. That means there are now dozens of people that can report Trump on contempt of court…but I’m betting he’ll say something on Social Media that will be considered a violation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) He told the crowd at Cafe Versailles “food for everyone”…waiting for the report he didn’t pay. Reports the “Rabbi” is actually one of the Jews for Jesus evangelical Christian group, that’s likely to play poorly with the Jewish support. ETA: Trump lawyer Alina Habba addressed the press, calling the justice system and courts corrupt…way to win over those judges! Also, Kari Lake spotted outside Courthouse…Melania is in New York, despite reports on Fox she’s in Miami.

welshbairn Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Round the clock coverage from CBS anyway, so going to Plan Donald. He'll likely be raging when he finds out that only a couple of hundred trumpets turned up outside the court. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Donald, man of the people! It's all part of the plan to slow this down as much as possible so that come election time, he can argue that it must be suspended until post election, which he thinks he will win and pardon himself. We are going to the the politics equivalent of taking the ball into the corner and going down injured.
