We have already heard that it is nearly impossible to control him popping off in the courtroom even when there are no cameras. He takes full advantage of any situation no matter what it is, and even worse, the media will have a field day with the endless material that courtroom cameras would provide. They can't help themselves, especially when their TV ratings are at stake.
One of the hosts of the "Chapo Trap House" podcast...
...(Will Menaker, I think) calls him "Jack Prilosec".
He's a real piece of work...and a real piece of shit.

Wasn't Byrne one of the people who was linked to that Russian spy Maria Butina?
I just checked...he was.

That's going to land the GOP in hot water with a lot of the anti-abortion groups...
...who advocate for precisely such a ban. In particular, the radtrad/EWTN wing of Catholicism is notoriously fanatical about their thought-terminating cliché "from conception to natural death". They really do mean what they say.
I guess this is partly a rhetorical question, but what is it about Trump that...
...elicits this kind of loyalty?! McEnemy...er...McEnany is just a former employee at this point with seemingly little to gain from her sycophancy. It's all the more baffling because the courtroom sketch depicts Trump not unlike the "fantasy physique" seen in the artwork of Trump fans like Ben Garrison and Jon McNaughton. The courtroom artist already took off 30 pounds, not to mention Trump's ridiculous Sunkist orange makeup; what more do they want?

The jokes almost write themselves.
Hopefully the writers from the late-night shows are paying attention.
No one ever accused them of being Rhodes Scholars.
Bring up these logical fallacies and watch them have a psychotic break.

Sounds like a less successful version of Tom Monaghan's Ave Maria "University".
Monaghan (founder of Domino's Pizza) started a Catholic radtrad "university" in Michigan and several years later moved the campus to Florida. From the beginning, Monaghan was committed to starting a far-right law school. He brought in several big names to the university and law school who were less than enthused when Monaghan made the capricious and unilateral decision to move the campus to what is basically swampland in southwest Florida. Lawsuits (including those from faculty members) flew in every direction, and Monaghan fired Fr. Joseph Fessio, a well-known "star" of the radtrad movement. The law school is infamous for its troubled history (including the aforementioned lawsuits) and it currently has a fourth-tier ranking.

LOL, that last line of yours...the first time I heard it was from David Duchovny on...
...an X-Files episode. That probably wasn't the first time that aphorism was stated, and it certainly won't be the last.
"The Power of a Trump Endorsement", LOL. How many elections has that lost?
Two, or maybe it's now three in a row? It's hard to keep track with that loser.
