@MichaelSteele What I hate: watching MSM treat Trump with kid gloves. E.g. on @DavidMuir's ABC Nightly News he reports about Trump's tariffs as if it is an actual policy position. Instead, put an economist OTA who will call Trump what he is, a USDA Grade A Certified Prime SFB.

Diddy Comb's only hope: Trump gets elected, Trump sells Diddy a pardon. (Yes, Trump can now sell pardons. Per SCOTUS, a POTUS is immune from criminal prosecution for official acts or conduct.) @Lawrence, @maddow; @NicolleDWallace; @chrislhayes; @JoeNBC; @JamesCarville

Sean P Diddy Combs = "the black Harvey Weinstein."

The Trump Prosecutions: Here's a video update on the Der Führer-ette's (Trump) criminal cases. WARNING - NOT for: citizens with tender minds; virgin ears; gentlemen who strive to be gentle men; MAGAhatters; any @MSNBC legal commentator who calls it "opening argument" (it is "opening STATEMENT"); anyone who wants to see Trump go to "JAIL" (the correct term is "PRISON"); and/or anyone who thinks the term is "gorilla warfare." Stay Oscar Mike people!

Too surreal: went to the Daily Mail's website and saw this. I guess an ad generator associated Habba's name with Jabba the Hutt, hence the ad for the play.

But everyone is going to look at the article and think Habba had a Star Wars themed 40th bash, with her in a Jabba the Hutt costume. @maddowblog @Lawrence @NicolleDWallace @jeffmason1 @DavidJollyFL @jheil @11thHour @JonLemire @SteveSchmidtSES @JoeNBC @JoyAnnReid @dpakman @MeidasTouch

In regards to old out-of-shape Trump, I suspect Alina is providing "representation with benefits."

And knowing Trump, I assume she's letting Trump launder purported attorneys fees back to him.

@SwissWatchGuy @GarciaRosalind Not to shame but why are these well coiffed, tailored young women always around old out of shape guys

@MichaelSteele I'm quivering in anticipation of finding out who thought that kitchen backdrop was a swell idea. I wonder if Katie was barefoot too. @maddowblog @Lawrence @JamesCarville @NicolleDWallace @chrislhayes @SteveSchmidtSES @KeithOlbermann @jeffmason1 @JoeNBC @dpakman

[Michael Mortimer @MortimerEsq]

Trump thinks he's showing off his intellect by using the verb "interpose" to explain away his name swapping error (Haley, Pelosi, and others). But in fact, Trump using "interpose" in the context of what he was saying serves only to confirm his lifelong ignorance, or that at best his speeches and press conferences, or proclamations are merely the drivel of a mental slob.

Bonus Comment

"Interpose" is a verb. It means "to place or insert between one thing and another" - Example: "Trump interposed his body between E. Jean Carroll and the locked fitting room door." @maddowblog @Lawrence @JamesCarville @NicolleDWallace @chrislhayes @SteveSchmidtSES @KeithOlbermann @jeffmason1 @JoeNBC @dpakman

[Michael Mortimer @MortimerEsq]

@Jules31415 Will not be surprised to see mental slob Habba indicted for conspiracy & money laundering of supposed "legal fees" (e.g., Trump pays Habba $10M; he feigns dissatisfaction with her services; she "refunds" Trump $9M). @Lawrence @MaddowBlog @AWeissmann @SteveSchmidtSES @JoeNBC

[Michael Mortimer @MortimerEsq]

@SimonWDC Excellent interview on @Lawrence's show. I valued your insights and agree with the illumination on what's actually going on this election year. @maddow @MSNBC @JoeNBC @MeidasTouch, and "get back to work" @NicolleDWallace

[Michael Mortimer @MortimerEsq]

@lawofruby @ejeancarroll Media: At trial it's "opening STATEMENT" and "closing ARGUMENT." Also, correct: "Trump is trying to stay out of PRISON;" Incorrect: "Trump is trying to stay out of JAIL." In the U.S., jail is confinement for one year or less. Prison = incarceration for more than one year.

[Michael Mortimer @MortimerEsq]

For muzzling Der Führer I can donate duct tape to the Court. I have various colors for Trump to choose from: orange (compliments faux-tanned skin), supremacist white (Der Führer's favorite), or classic silver. @MaddowBlog; @Lawrence; @JoeNBC ; @NicolleDWallace; @MeidasTouch

NEW YORK — A federal judge threatened to kick Donald Trump out of court Wednesday after the former president made repeated comments within earshot of the jury hearing a civil defamation trial against him.

@MichaelSteele @TheWeekendMSNBC @AliciaMenendez @SymoneDSanders Trump's drivel about @NikkiHaley not being Constitutionally qualified to run for presidency (on citizenship grounds) obliterates one of his 14th Amendment defenses, that it does not apply to him because he has not been ADJUDICATED an insurrectionist. @MaddowBlog @Lawrence

[Michael Steele @MichaelSteele]

It’s almost @TheWeekendMSNBC and my friends and cohosts @AliciaMenendez and @SymoneDSanders joined me for a chat about our upcoming launch Saturday 8am est, our expectations for The Weekend and why I really invited them on my podcast!

@kupiporf Just watched your YouTube video. Made today a happy day for us, to see that everything is OK on your end.

[Michael Mortimer @MortimerEsq]

@kupiporf I read with interest Japan's Minister of Finance's report on earthquake insurance for homeowners and apt. dwellers. Far more beneficial by the Government than what we have in California.

@kupiporf Was looking for a response on your YouTube Coupy channel, but didn't really think you would be able to upload a video. It is now Jan. 3 here in San Francisco. Lots of fans concerned about you and your family's (& cats) well-being. I will spread the word that everyone is OK.

[Michael Mortimer @MortimerEsq]

@G6ccw3wq3lUPmGB @kupiporf Thanks for your info. Six hours after the earthquake I was checking Coupy's YouTube videos looking for an update, but there was nothing. So we are relieved to find Coupy's update in here. And your info is also appreciated.

[Michael Mortimer @MortimerEsq]

@kupiporf Thank you for the update. Stay safe, protect your family (and the cats, of course) and we will see you on the other side.

@DanielLurie @knbrmurph @KNBR @SFGiants 2019: A friend & wife (who loved spendy weekends in SF) said they were never again visiting SF because: "Your city is now so filthy. When staying at the Hyatt Regency there were 'bums' laying on the sidewalk directly outside the hotel." Perceptions, that's what matters folks.
