Motherfucker spoke to the press in the hallway and excoriated the case. He ignored some of the questions he was asked, like, Wheres Mashed Potato?

Motherfucker gave his now familiar scowl to the pool photographers who came in to take his picture.

Motherfucker is struggling to stay awake. His eyes were closed for a short period. He was jolted awake when Todd Blanche, his lawyer, nudged him while sliding a note in front of him.

Justice Merchans ruling has significantly increased the potential blowback Motherfucker will face if he decides to take the stand and testify in his own defense. In the end, its his call and his alone to make. But the judge just handed the prosecution a fairly heavy legal cudgel to use against Motherfucker if he does decide to testify.

(33,278 posts)Doesnt take 25 minutes to say, I agree. Maybe the bulk of the time will be taken up with a sales pitch for the all new Trump(tm) air fresheners. Now featuring the scent of a fresh spring breeze blowing through a septic treatment plant.
