One thing to consider in the current #TrumpTrial : whatever foolishness Trump pulls, whatever delays his lawyers execute, it will be the jurors who suffer. The same jurors who decide his fate.
I remember how puzzled I was, back when Trump was president, by his fixation on Ukraine. Now it's clear that he was simply obeying Putin's orders, preparing the way for Putin's invasion.
("Sir? Sir?" -- Trump calls Putin "sir")
MESSAGE FROM TRUMP:
"Such a tremendous honor to receive the Club Championship Trophy at Trump International Golf Club from the great Jack Nicklaus, a fantastic man and champion. It was a wonderful evening for all!"
If Trump's Bible were a real #TrumpBible, it would be a picture book, every picture would feature Trump in Middle-Eastern dress, including: Trump defrauding a blind man, Trump mocking a lame man's walk, Trump throwing ketchup on the walls of the Temple...
“I was in church today, just kind of flipping through the Bible,” Johnson said. “And as I was reading the Book of Revelation, all of a sudden I was like, ‘Holy cow, that’s Marge!’” For more, follow @BorowitzReport on @substack. So glad he’s back!

Trump's claim that he only wants to be a dictator on day one is not as fatuous as it sounds: in fact, he'll only need a few minutes to call his boss Putin and abjectly surrender. ("Sir... sir..." -- he calls him "sir")
Mike Johnson is nominally "Speaker of the House," but is actually nothing more than Trump's spokesperson.
Even more humiliating for the supposed Speaker, Trump hasn't bothered to learn his name. He calls Johnson "My Kevin"
The jury in Carroll v Trump are adults who took jury duty seriously enough to temporarily set aside their ordinary lives.
They sit quietly and watch a grown man mutter, whine, and pound the table, fussing like a spoiled 9-year-old.
Do you think they're impressed?
