🤦🏻‍♀️WTF

School board members in #Virginia’s Shenandoah County voted early Friday to restore the names of two schools that previously honored Confederate leaders – four years after those names had been removed.

Please remember I don’t reply while live-posting. Plz use NFL (Not For Laffy, but no hashtag) so I can ignore those replies.

McB:

...At 2:14 p.m., Trump walks in, entourage in tow.

Boris Epshteyn just handed a piece of paper with a photo on it to Kaitlan Collins.

I thought he maybe said "Conway" to her, but I'm not exactly sure.

Plz remember to use "NFL" (Not For Laffy) & remember: typos are theirs, not mine. No time to correct.

They're back.

Trump's lawyer Blanche: Half an hour ago, we learned who the next witness is - and we have some objections. Invoices from Michael Cohen are not business records of the Trump Organization. If she stamped them, sure

Bower:

Justice Merchan starts off will the prosecution motion for contempt.

He tells Trump he's about to issue his ruling, in which he will again find Trump in contempt of court.

The last thing I want to do is put you in jail, Justice Merchan says to Trump. You are the former President of the United States and possibly the next President as well.

But "going forward," he continues, "this court will have to consider jail sanctions" if necessary.

I read one of those "kitchen gadgets no one needs" articles a few days ago. The author panned the battery-operated salt & pepper mills especially those with a LED work light. The article was pushing manual grinders.

Just used my rechargable grinders with lights. No need turn on overhead lights. Arthritic hands also appreciated the electric grinders, too. TB fair the article allowed that arthritis was a reason for using electricity.

What do you think about lighted grinders?

We read Trump's
Time interview so you don't have to. Throughout, the leader of the GOP talks openly about his dangerous ambitions for a second term -- including allowing states to arrest women who have abortions, using the power of the presidency to influence criminal investigations, and deploying the military to round up millions of immigrants. 🧵 https://time.com/6972022/donald-trump-transcript-2024-election/

So in total our trip was about 320KM across the country and we only came cross 2 US-style trucks!

They immediately stand out since they are just massive, loud and look like rolling crap

We laughed at them like many people do here :bloblaugh:

One had to have super low self-esteem to drive such a "look at my balls" truck here in the Netherlands

Happy I'm not in the US where this is "normal" :nkoFacepalm2:

Via Andrew Weissmann said this last night. These are creative, and hopefully potentially effective, options:

#Trump #GagOrder options in addition to fine/jail:

• put a monitor over his use of social media posts
• hold sentence on a contempt finding until after trial over
• advise Trump that his contempt of gag order can be considered at sentencing upon conviction.

All can be used by Judge Merchan.

Posting random #TrumpTrial while I can. McBrien:

Necheles asking juror abt her attendance at Women's March—which coincided w events discussed in case.

"There was a lot of anger at that march toward Pres Trump": Necheles.

"I blv it was more abt women's solidarity" she says."This is a little embarrassing but I'm not exactly sure what Trump's policies are," but mentions ppl dislike his rhetoric,says some ppl cite Trump when making homophobic or racist comments

Trump watches her as she speaks.

I can read your posts on my computer, they load. But it won’t let me post. Our Internet is connected but the wireless light is red. We’re rebooting our modem again. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Truly and honestly, I have a great time here, because you all make it great. You boost, you reply, you encourage, and inspire! It is crazy to me that I get to talk to people from all over the world every day. I get to be friends with people I'll probably never actually get to physically meet. I was born into a pre-internet world, and this still feels a little like a miracle to me.

#TrumpTrial Via McBrien:

The first potential juror of the day, who mentioned that her bad anxiety might prevent her from being fair and punctual, had said: "The more days that go on and more and more people in my life know that I'm here without me even telling them, they just put pieces together."
