#Trump has his posse again. Today it’s more #Republican elected officials. Today, Trump will be joined by the #House speaker, #MikeJohnson, as well as #NorthDakota’s governor, #DougBurgum, a contender to be Trump's running mate. Also present will be Representatives #ByronDonalds & #CoryMills of Florida, & #VivekRamaswamy, who was one of Trump's primary rivals this year. Both Donalds & Ramaswamy are longshot hopefuls to be Trump's running mate.
Word has gone out to #Trump allies over the past few days that Trump wants to see a bigger show of support inside the courtroom. Trump's entourage is big enough today that they’re having trouble arranging themselves in the 2 rows of seats set aside for supporters of the defense's side.
#Trump currently has senior #elected officials, including a possible future VP nominee, sitting in the courtroom listening to a recording of him, as a candidate, talking w/his lawyer about paying for material from The #NationalEnquirer. Trump has completely got the party under his boot.
2 #Republican senators, a congresswoman & 2 state AGs are listening to a now-disbarred lawyer advising Trump on a #HushMoney payment.
A fmr White House aide who worked closely w/ #Trump returned to the stand to testify about a significant meeting between Trump & #MichaelCohen his personal lawyer that is at the center of Trump’s #criminal trial.
When #Trump entered the courtroom, he carried a sheaf of printouts w/him which he slammed down on the defense table. His lead lawyer, Todd Blanche, laughed & grinned. Apparently Trump likes to read through [only positive] news clips & social media posts during long stretches in court. The printouts come courtesy of his aide Natalie Harp, who is never far from Trump’s side & usually sits 2 rows back in the courtroom.
#Trump’s other advisers have nicknamed Harp “the human printer” because she travels around w/a portable printer so that she can quickly produce mood-boosting articles for Trump to read. She has also been spotted running after Trump’s golf cart on the golf course so that he can read things between holes.
#Senate now going through nonsensical #Republican motions re #Mayorkas#impeachment that are all being rejected. There will likely be more before a real vote on Schumer’s point of order that article I is unconstitutional.
Even as Judge #Merchan was hearing arguments on last-minute issues, #Trump appeared to nod off a few times, his mouth going slack & his head drooping onto his chest.
Trump’s lead lawyer, Todd Blanche, passed him notes for several minutes before Trump appeared to jolt awake & notice them.
#iran before attacking #israel:
"Death to Israel."
Iran after their attack:
"We were just testing your defense. Haha. We're done unless you counter attack. All good. Just kidding." #war vs #jihad #coward #cowards #pathetic #fear
IDF official page in Persian tweets about "IDF Woman power in battlefield". The problem with this cheap propaganda is that it is AI generated and the IDF female soldier has 3 legs.
#Trump is trying to establish a justification for the #dictatorial actions he's already intending to take if he wins the #2024election. These #passiveAggressive#threats are as transparent as they are #pathetic. Trump is terrified of the potential #consequences of the 91 #felony counts he's facing, and is desperately trying to weasel his way out of legal #jeopardy. Why would anyone vote for this evil sack of shit?
Ron #DeSantis is a #Republican#fascist who is taking credit for the accomplishments of Joe #Biden. Maybe if he had actually done the job he was elected to do he might have some accomplishments of his own that he could brag about, but this is just #pathetic. They attack #Democrats and their #policies, then they take credit for those policies when they need something to talk about.
The fact that Dump is polling ahead in the US shows us that, American women at the end of the day dont care about abortion or having rights. Looks like they are content with everything happening now, As I said before, I dont see any fight back and it looks like the majority approves of the Supreme Court reversal. Kinda the same with book bans etc... Pretty pathetic overall.
More desperate bullshit from #JamesComer. The #Biden family had legitimate business interests in some #Chinese companies before Joe Biden was #president. The fact that some money from these businesses indirectly made its way to #JoeBiden isn't a secret, nor is it evidence of #wrongdoing. So, the fact that Comer "found" $40k attributed to these Chinese companies is utterly irrelevant, even tho Comer wants to present it as some big gotcha. Comer is transparently #pathetic.
Dan Meuser drops out of the race, saying #trump supported his decision.
These people's reliance on trump for everything is just pathetic. I'm glad he's out but the other eight are no different. What a pathetic group of people. #GOP#pathetic#findabrain
