PLEASE NOTE: I likely can’t reply while live-posting. Adding NFL (Not For Laffy) helps! Thx.

Via Andrew Weissmann:

Court about to begin. The defense table, from left to right: Blanche, the defendant (ie Trump), Bove, and Necheles (notably farthest from Trump). Gaggle of photographers shoot Trump, inches from his face: he maintains an implacable and dour expression. ADA Josh Steinglass and his team now enter: Steinglass is very much the lead here.

NFL...
Blanche complains about Trump's inability to respond to press and witness statements: "Everyone in the world can say everything that they want."

that's a major issue with trumps mental failings... he MUST respond to absolutely everything said about him...

PELOSI: Trump has the worst record of jobs loss of any president

KATY TUR: There was a global pandemic

PELOSI: He had the worst record of any president. If you want to be an apologist for Donald Trump, that may be your role

And Obama still had a net positive at then end of his first term and even more at the end of his second, not so with trump.

Even without the pandemic… trumps first 3yrs avg monthly jobs were 23% less than Obama’s final three years, so still anemic.

And that was with being handed an economy running on auto pilot... and trump still managed to fck it up... then failed abysmally with the pandemic making job losses even worse.

@jsit

blaming the entirety of Trump’s jobs numbers on his performance alone,

I have no choice... he was the president claiming jobs numbers were stellar... when they weren't.. he claimed he built the greatest economy ever.. when his 3 yrs GDP was only .1 better than Obama's final three years... 2.5 v 2.4.... trump earns and deserves every second of negativity. And then he took a really bad situation and made it far far worse. He's earned it. So, no slack offered from me.

@jsit

As for K Tur, she's talked out of both sides for a while now. I'm so disappnted in her. She even both sided E.Jean Carrol. Maybe she's afraid of trump world for the abuse she received, god knows he's an abuser, ask Cheri Jacobus about that she has a tale to tell.
But, he made it even worse of a bad hand. He alone decided it was more important to focus on his campaign, at the expense of the nation and then decided it was A-OK to grift off it instead of put the best people in charge of it.

Again for people (racists), complaining about falling birth rates:

The birth rate for women over 40 is not falling. The birth rate for women over 30 is not falling.

What's happening, is girls 15 to 17 are having fewer babies. Kids are having fewer kids.

Also, this is an interesting way of saying that "Teen pregnancy is down, due to sex education and contraception."

In 1991 25% of 15 year olds gave birth before they turned 21. That's bad. Now it's 6%. That's better.

What's happening, is girls 15 to 17 are having fewer babies. Kids are having fewer kids.

and the maga-gop are doing everything in their power to reverse that trend, up to an including forcing 13 year old's to carry their rapist babies....

Let’s talk .

There’s a lot of analysis out there that I believe is driven by a fundamental misunderstanding of the way fights wars.

Bottom line up front: Russia’s current goals in Ukraine aren’t necessarily victory, at least not in the traditional military sense.

We’ve seen evidence of this since even before Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014. More on that later.

tdwllms1,
@tdwllms1@mstdn.social avatar

@GottaLaff

Could not agree more.. Russia is as weak as they've ever been and Ukraine has more will and far newer and better resources... Ukraine needs to take territory and use that to end the war.. as well take BACK Crimea....

Yesterday 4/25/24... was a really bad day for the rule of law and the United States system of justice....
although we don't yet know the outcome of the argument before SCOTUS... we do know they were extreme and corrupt in their thought and deeds... that Thomas was even seated was a travesty... that there was no real talk of trumps corrupt acts was a slight done on purpose.

FTA... The six conservative Justices left Donald Trump on the periphery for the most part, with the possible exception of Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

But make no mistake The case is all about Trump and whether he can be prosecuted for the most serious of his crimes against the American people, trying to hold onto power after losing the 2020 election. It’s also about the legacy of the Roberts Court and whether history will view the already unpopular Justices as the Court that gave away democracy.

"Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder, Pentagon press secretary, would not confirm the package or details, but said the U.S. has a robust logistical system in place, built over the past two years of weapons’ deliveries to Ukraine, and is “doing everything we can to be poised to respond quickly” once the bill is signed. He said the U.S. has storehouses of military equipment in Europe and — as it's done in the past — can tap those to get aid into Ukraine within days."

This is why I worry. From Threads, a convo w/ @lolgop:

jerbrad28:

But: “New polls this week served up a surprise: They showed Robert F. Kennedy’s presidential run pulling more support from Donald than from President . And even some Republicans are publicly insisting that they fear the same.”

LOLGOP:

… It's part of the ruse. Trump can't win if Biden gets over 50% and Bobby makes sure he can't.

"but they want to “send a message” to the Dems."

dumbest take in the world... the only message that sends is
"Hi, I'm a dumbass who's willing to take a chance of burning it all down for every one, because I'm a privileged asshole"...
