The NY Appeals should wait to reject Trump's appeal

Of course we all expect Trump to appeal his conviction. And of course we expect it will be rejected. However, if it is rejected and then quickly again by the NY high court, Trump could go to federal courts. The state appeals courts should hold onto these appeals as long as possible before rejecting them to ensure Trump serves as much time as possible (he will get time) and prevent a corrupt SCOTUS from being able to overturn it.

Michael Cohen Appreciation Thread

Hey Mike,

Just want to say fuck you, asshole, and I am glad you got your revenge. Listen, I appreciate your efforts in trying to turn a new leaf. Consider it turned. But what I really meant to say, was thanks for nailing Don Von Shitshispants.

Sincerely,

Mr. WeRP

GUILTY MF 45 ALL COUNTS

Get the orange jumpsuit ready!

I've served on a couple of juries

One time, there was a DUI case I was a juror on. The prosecution completely failed to make their case. There was no evidence to support the charge and plenty of evidence to show the opposite: that the officer made multiple mistakes and had a bias against the defendant. The trial lasted 5 days. We went to deliberations. First thing we did was took a straw poll. 9 innocent, 2 unsure and 1 guilty. We listened to the minority and came up with a list of their questions and what evidence and testimony they wanted to review. So we began the review process. This went on for several hours. We broke for the evening. Returning the next day we took a second poll: 10 innocent, 2 guilty. Rinse and repeat. Then lunch. Back at it after lunch we worked until the end of the day again. Next morning back at it again. Now when we polled, we were left with 1 guilty… the same guy who was guilty from the start. This is where the frustrations began for an entire day we tried go get at what was needed to turn the last juror. Nothing seemed to work. Now, this was an older, less groomed and uneducated person. It was the summer and the AC wasn’t great. Many jurors were starting to become visibly upset but we went through iterations of previous reviews anyway. Another day over. Next morning, again, this one juror didn’t budge. We get to lunch and then upon returning, the guy suddenly changed his mind. Some of the jurors inquired what was the change of mind. He didn’t really answer the question, but one juror said, “It was the lunches and the stipend, wasn’t it?!” And the holdout didn’t say a word but just smiled. The foreman wrote up the result and gave it to the bailiff.

Just wanted to share that experience while we wait. I don’t expect anything like that from this jury given what I’ve read about them.

Andrew Weissmann has a good point on jury request

Just now on MSNBC, he said to the effect: The defense said during closing that during the Trump Tower meeting, no discussion of “catch and kill” at the meeting. There were two Trump Tower meetings in Jan 2017. The one where Pecker was in attendance, on Jan 6, 2017, Trump thanked Pecker for killing the stories about McDougal and the doorman. Weissmann said the defense closing argument statement about catch and kill probably caused the jury’s request. And it will backfire on the defense since Trump used the word kill, it makes the defense seem like they were using weasel words to fool the jury.

You are Judge Merchan

The defendant has been a major pain in the ass during this trial
Weisselberg, who you sentenced to real time for similar and related crimes, sits in a jail cell and was too toxic for either the Prosecution or Defense to use as a witness
Your daughter was repeatedly attacked by the defendant and his surrogates
Your authenticity as a judge and your very citizenship as an American have been challenged by the defendant and repeatedly echoed by his surrogates
The defendant repeatedly violated the gag order and continued to do so after the threat of jail time
The defendant shows no remorse and still uses his influence to defame those who following the rule of law
The defendant is a menace to society
You, as a judge are allowed to consider things the jury can’t: the defendants character, his behavior during the trial, the impact of a light sentence on society, the actual sentence in relation to the election even.
If the jury convicts, you can schedule the sentencing as early as two weeks and can give up to the maximum sentence and even consecutively if you want and no one can appeal it or even question it. When you’re a judge, they let you do it.

What are you going to do should the jury convict?

Trump is now reposting videos that (checks notes) threatens to kill all liberals if Elected

From: https://newrepublic.com/article/181973/trump-media-attacks-media-dangerous-turn

Scarborough and the whole Morning Joe crew have been stern Trump critics for years, but I’d like to focus on something beyond Scarborough here: the video’s declaration that if Trump wins the presidency, “liberals” are “done.”

As the man delicately puts it:

He’ll get rid of all you fucking liberals. You liberals are gone when he fucking wins. You fucking blowjob liberals are done. Uncle Donnie’s gonna take this election—landslide. Landslide, you fucking half a blowjob. Landslide. Get the fuck out of here, you scumbag.


By posting this video, Trump appears to be endorsing that sentiment about not only Scarborough but about liberals generally. Shouldn’t that be pretty big news in and of itself?
