Nelson Mandingo posted:Hey, that's crazy! Like literally pardoning a murderer to own the libs? Like not just somebody who did financial crimes or some kind of weird espionage thing that could be argued to have been in the service of some "good" purpose, like pardons have typically been used for. Just a legit loving convicted murderer. That's WILD WEST JUSTICE i guess

i was thinking about trump closing his eyes in court, and how he made a point of saying he does so to "take it all in" or whatever, and i'm not even so convinced that he's sleeping but rather that he's dissociating due to narcissistic injury. he is fundamentally allergic to the reality of it

He’s just taking it all in, like 6 of the 8 hours he’s in court every day. Just drinking it in, planning, strategizing in silence and seeing the plan on the back of his eyelids laid out before him. Sometimes it amazes him how great his victory will be that he nods his head and even leaves his mouth slack, shocked at his own genius.

Seriously, am I missing anything? Because I thought one of the major hurdles the prosecution had clear was connecting Trump to the NDA with Trump's defense being "It was just my scummy lying lawyer going rogue, I had nothing to do with it" and now he is claiming his NDA with Stormy is actually perfectly good and legal?

On one hand, her child is a paedophile so I completely agree with disowning him. On the other hand, his dad is a paedophile and she knew that when she met him, and the two of them raised their child to be a paedophile. In short, the entire family should be thrown into a volcano or something because there's no redeeming that poo poo.

How likely is Trump going to be found guilty on this hush money case? I've been following along with everything, but I guess I'm having a hard time figuring out what it means. They had Cohen on the stand, and the defense was grilling him, but I don't know if its going to hurt Trump or not.

I have a theory that most Republicans hate him because he has given away most of the money he made, and still has a very enjoyable and impactful life. Dude has donated over 30 billion dollars over his life, and I think that is why he is the boogeyman; he shows that you can afford to give away a lot of money when you are ridiculously wealthy.

Also keep in mind that everything you read here is filtered through people live tweeting, so their bias is included, intentional or not. But it seems pretty obvious he did it, I mean he's already been convicted of fraud, and this is just another type of fraud. If the jury does their job, he should be found guilty.

just to note my uncle was in a wheelchair for 40 years and was a pretty awesome guy. gently caress abbot you wheely bin trash. i can't wait until next election when you won't be able to tell if the "abbot pardoned a pedophile" ads are pro or con. greg abbott and lou costello "who's on first?" "a pedophile!" *texas crowd roars* Junk posted:i meant dissociating in the trauma response sense, not the inner peace sense personally i doubt trump has the ability to dissociate. he'd have to be aware and accept what's going on. dollars to donuts trump thinks he's being intimidating by sitting with his eyes closed. totally out of my rear end but i think his attorneys convinced him to strike that pose so people wouldn't be able to tell when he falls asleep. they convinced him it would be "intimidating" and all "eyes would be on him" and...if he does actually fall asleep...you saw that tweet that mentions when one of his eyes open? he pictures the entire court trembling at his silence. trump only understands flattery and fear. what you're describing is a higher evolved creature than a trump

They had Cohen on the stand, and the defense was grilling him, but I don't know if its going to hurt Trump or not. I think the odds would be relatively high, given that there were convictions of people involved in aspects of this case, most notably Cohen and Weisselberg. The case has to prove that Trump had knowledge of the criminal behavior and encouraged or directed such behaviour. Typically to be found guilty of a crime you must have a guilty act, the actus reus, and the guilty mind, the mens rea. In this case the guilty action has been fairly well established; in that the check was given to Stormy Daniels and paid for in a manner which violates campaign finance laws. So the two most prominent options for defense would be that Trump did not communicate to the actors in question (Cohen/Wisselberg) and that they did these crimes of their own volition in order to help Trump win the presidency and then ride his coattails to greatness. This argument's strengths are that Cohen is a known liar and had a hungry ego. The argument is, however, undermined by the level of involvement Trump had in the day to day operations in this realm. For this defense to work the Jury would have to believe that Trump was not involved, which is hard to believe given the testimony, and also hard to believe based on all the poo poo he tweets. The second option would be to claim that no illegal action occurred; and there are a few ways to approach this. One way would be to claim that Trump was being "extorted" and while his actions may have had political ramifications, the intent would be to save his marriage or family from embarrassment. This is a relatively weak option, as it doesn't seem realistic. Another way to argue that no illegal action occurred would be to find an expert witness and have them come and give false meanings and definitions and interpretations of the law such that Trump is, according to their expert campaign finance witness, operating within the bounds of the law. This is the last issue that was being discussed between the judge and attorneys today. I think that the defense has their best shot with this, in that if they can convince just one juror that their warped definition of the law is what should be enforced, then it would be reasonable to acquit. If I had to lay out odds, I would go 75/25/0 for Guilty/Mistrial by hung jury/innocent.

Thank you for the response. Those odds look good, but who knows when it comes to a jury. I'm just so loving tired of all this, and wish he would just gently caress off and die already.
