Trump insists his trial was rigged… just like everything else. It’s a mantra we’ve heard time and time again from the former president – a constant refrain that seems to be his go-to excuse whenever things don’t go his way. And let’s be real, things haven’t been going his way for quite some time now. From the 2020 election to the E Jean Carroll trial, Trump has been quick to cry foul and point fingers at anyone and everyone but himself.
The irony of it all is truly astounding. Here we have a man who prides himself on being a self-proclaimed billionaire and former president, yet he can’t seem to take any personal responsibility for his actions.… Continue reading
Spineless Convicted Felon Trump has once again shown his true colors by admitting why he was too afraid to testify in his hush-money trial. In a meandering and incoherent rant at Trump Tower, Trump claimed that he wanted to testify but was afraid he would be found guilty of more crimes. This admission speaks volumes about his character and his inability to defend himself without incriminating himself further. It’s a clear sign of his guilt and his fear of facing the consequences of his actions.
What’s truly baffling is the fact that some people still support him despite his blatant cowardice and criminal behavior.… Continue reading
As I read about the recent incident where a judge ripped a Trump attorney over an ‘outrageous’ statement made to jurors, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of frustration and disappointment. It seems that this kind of behavior has become all too common in Trump’s defense strategy – making inappropriate comments that, even though they are stricken from the record, still manage to leave a lasting impact on the jurors.
The judge’s response to the attorney’s statement, calling it highly inappropriate and questioning its accidental nature, speaks volumes about the tactics being used in this trial. It’s concerning to think that such blatant disregard for fair play and manipulation of the legal system is being condoned and allowed to continue unchecked.… Continue reading
The recent appearance of Speaker Mike Johnson at Trump’s felony trial truly marks a remarkable moment in US politics. As a concerned citizen, it is disheartening to witness a prominent figure like Johnson publicly supporting a former president accused of serious crimes, regardless of political affiliations. Johnson’s statement about the prosecution being “ridiculous” and “all about politics” is a stark reminder of the erosion of integrity within the GOP.
The GOP’s unwavering loyalty to Trump despite the evidence and testimony of unethical behavior is not only disappointing but also dangerous for the democracy of our country. By turning against the legal systems that are meant to uphold justice and fairness, Johnson and others like him are setting a dangerous precedent that undermines the very foundation of our government.… Continue reading
As I read about Judge Merchan being “visibly annoyed” by Trump’s courthouse entourage of Republican politicians, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of outrage and disbelief. The fact that these politicians, supposedly elected to serve their constituents and uphold the rule of law, are blatantly disregarding a gag order to support a criminal ex-president is beyond comprehension. It is a blatant display of intimidation and a mockery of the justice system.
The image of Trump waltzing into court with his gang of thugs, supported by his cronies who are supposed to be working for the people, is not only disrespectful to the judiciary but also to the American people.… Continue reading
I am truly amazed at the power of collective action when it comes to public petitions. The recent news of the “Remove Aileen Cannon” petition reaching over 300,000 signatures is a testament to the strength of public outcry against injustice. It is simply astounding to see so many individuals come together to demand accountability and fairness in our judiciary system.
The issue at hand regarding Judge Aileen Cannon and her involvement in postponing Trump’s trial is a clear example of a conflict of interest and potential corruption. As a Trump-appointed judge, it is unacceptable for her to preside over a case involving the very person who secured her nomination.… Continue reading
As I delve into the controversial topic of hush money in relation to the recent trial involving former President Trump, I can’t help but feel a mixture of shock, disbelief, and outright incredulity at the defense presented. The notion that hush money isn’t illegal, but rather a form of ‘democracy,’ is a dangerous narrative that threatens the very core of our legal system. The attempt to justify the payment to keep individuals silent as a permissible act within the realm of politics is not only absurd but undermines the principles of transparency and accountability that should be upheld.
The argument put forth by Trump’s lawyer that his client had nothing to do with the hush money payments, but merely signed the checks to make it happen, is a feeble attempt at shifting blame and evading responsibility.… Continue reading
The man who set himself on fire outside the courthouse where Trump is on trial has tragically died from his injuries. The horrifying video of him engulfed in flames for three agonizing minutes is something that no one should ever have to witness. The sheer pain and suffering that he must have endured is beyond comprehension. As someone who has seen the devastating effects of burns on individuals, I can attest to the excruciating nature of such wounds. The physical pain, coupled with the emotional turmoil that must have been raging inside him, is truly heart-wrenching.
It is clear that this man was struggling with serious mental health issues.… Continue reading
As I sit here pondering the recent news about the judge in the Trump case ordering the media not to report on where potential jurors work, I can’t help but shake my head in disbelief. Did they really need to be explicitly told not to do that? It baffles me how far-reaching the judge’s power is in this situation, and it raises the question of what consequences the media will face if they choose to ignore this directive.
It’s disheartening to see news organizations, such as Fox News, toeing the line by breadcrumbing the identities of potential jurors in a high-profile case.… Continue reading
I watched in horror as a person engulfed in flames stood outside a New York courthouse where the Trump trial was underway. The reports from CNN described how the individual first tossed flyers into the air before self-immolating. The details surrounding the incident were disturbing, to say the least. What drove this person to such a desperate act? As more information emerged, it became apparent that this individual was a conspiracy theorist, not affiliated with any political group but rather consumed by delusions.
The scene unfolded in a surreal manner, with witnesses recounting the chilling moments leading up to the act of self-immolation.… Continue reading
