Not really since its only right wing media who are actively trying to expose the identities of the jurors
Trumps stock had a resurgence and this might have something to do with it: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/18/trump-media-tells-djt-shareholders-how-to-block-short-sellers.html
Nothing says "we're confident in the valuation of out stock" like trying to convince people not to short the stock..
Sleepy Don strikes again…
Yet we can honestly say there was never nearly this much effort by the media or the defendant to harass and unmask the jurors in the Rittenhouse case. Nor was voir dire I imagine nearly so scrutinizing and exposing for potential jurors as it has been to find jurors for Donald Trump.
Golly it will be like them trials in the movies

It's on like Donkey Kong!
Active shooter and self immolation outside the courthouse just as 6th alternate is empanelled
**Edit** ~Shooter was likely a police officer ~
No shooter, Laura Coates immediate reaction at scene.
apparently trump court room is freezing this could be significant in an appeal
"A decade ago, researchers in Germany and Switzerland conducted an experiment to see whether a person feeling too cold or too warm changed how they perceived a crime that was described to them. The study found that people in colder conditions were significantly more likely to view crimes as pre-mediated (coldblooded), than impulsive (hotheaded), and thus rendered judgments that would be more likely to result in harsher penalties in a court of law."

Looks like some chap set himself on fire outside the courthouse…..

And the only value Trump would place in this person would be to buoy up his own cult leader status. Trump wouldn't píss on the guy if he were, er…
the media will cover this just like the veteran who lit himself on fire for Gaza right.
According to this CNN Update the incident may not have been about Trump - The person was throwing flyers around with screeds about NYU before igniting themselves .
The video is disturbing. Sad to see how TFG has no qualms about riling the mentally ill up to cause chaos.
from the manifesto its not clear Trump did, the guy views Trump as in cahoots with the ruling class of clintons and epsteins etc.
In sworn testimony, woman alleges, well:
https://www.mediaite.com/news/woman-tells-house-committee-she-attended-party-with-gaetz-where-drugs-naked-underaged-girl-were-present/
In the latest ABC News report, a witness provided a sworn written statement saying that in the summer of 2017 when she was 20 years old, she attended a party in Florida where Gaetz was also present. According to ABC News, “sources familiar with the committee’s work” said that this woman included in her statement allegations that the party “featured alcohol and drugs including cocaine and MDMA.”The woman’s statement also included allegations that, “in addition to Gaetz, the party was attended by the then-minor who was at the center of a yearslong Justice Department investigation into accusations that the Florida Congressman had sex with her when she was 17, according to sources.”Perhaps most salacious of the accusations is that the woman also “said she saw the then-minor naked at the party, which was also attended by adult men other than Gaetz, and that at the party there allegedly were bedrooms that were made available for sexual activities.”

"Trump cannot get a fair trial… in NYC" "Where can Trump get a fair trial?" "In the midwest, in Ohio in Florida" "He's in trial in Florida and Georgia, will you accept the result of those trials?"
"…NO!"
Monday opening arguments confirmed

In the civil trial, the AG has claimed the bond is void with insufficient collateral.
Another great day for Trump, continues…
While it has been clear for a good while that to actually be a trump supporter someone is either mentally ill or a complete cúnt, I haven't seen anything yet to say that the guy was actually a trump supporter.
Now for a second time, Republicans in AZ have blocked an effort to repeal the 1864 abortion law there.

«I’m here to represent Jesus Christ…»
I somewhat remember Trump fans rubbishing the anytime we bring up the notion that portions of the GOP would love to turn the US into the nightmarish Gilead of the Handmaids Tale….and then we get headlines like this.
The GOP certainly appear to have a talent for filling their membership with these vile Stepford Wives who’ll at least quote overly religious content to underline their conservative bona fides. I would hope that they do not represent most Americans in the middle. Because pulling crap like this in the name of “Jesus”, up-to and including banning abortion for rape, incest and medical emergencies, surely must cost the Arizona GOP in November.
Trending on twitter #TrumpSmellsLikeAss seems he's been farting in court
The victimization play of Trump. There has been a huge news media optics distortion in very recent times that suggests Trump has been all of a sudden legally attacked by democrats, or Biden, or the Left, or the “Hidden State” as if he was metaphorically an American football player running with the ball towards the goal (i.e., 2024 presidential election) suddenly buried under a dog pile of opposing players on the field.
Poor victim Trump! How can he breathe while under this pile of state, federal, civil, and criminal litigations, which, because they have breaking news appeared all of a sudden during an election season must be due to conspiratorial election interference by his so called Trump Derangement Syndrome political opponents. What appears to be missing in the public view as aided by all sides, from right to middle to left breaking news media sources and their talking heads, is that the sudden presidential election year dog pile on top of Trump is a false image. There is no surprise, all of a sudden breaking news dog pile on Trump today.
According to an ongoing analysis by USA Today (retrieved 20 April 2024 from web), in the past 3 decades Donald Trump has been involved in 4,095 state and federal law suits as either the plaintiff or the defendant. Roughly, that is 1,365 cases per decade, or 136.5 cases per year. But the breaking news media only focuses on the tiny few now probably because they are sensational being tied to the 5 November election.
Well we all fart about 13/14 per day. Who in the hell did that research? That's his quota.
The jury selected all seem reasonable people:
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/18/jurors-trump-hush-money-trial-jury
As a person with a reasonably serious illness that can cause pretty awful farts, I think this is a bit far.... Nah, actually I take that back. 😂
Sandoval hearings have arisen in other prominent New York cases. Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced movie producer, declined to testify in his criminal trial in 2020 after the presiding judge said he would permit prosecutors to question Mr. Weinstein about 28 allegations of other crimes and previous “bad acts.”
But that case also points toward the danger for a judge: Mr. Weinstein’s lawyers have appealed that decision, which legal experts consider one of the most credible challenges to his conviction. His lawyers have taken their arguments all the way to New York’s highest court, which has yet to issue a decision.
Trump says he will testify, which has prompted the Sandoval hearing. Is Trump just being led by his ego and his need to bleat to the court about how unfairly he is being treated, or is he organising a potential appeal route/delay?
There have been previous rumours about Donald having to wear adult diapers, from all the way back to his Apprentice days (someone from the show made the claims), and that the Boardroom where they would film for the day smelled horrible because of it. Flatulence and incontinence are also side effects from excessive use of adderall and speed, which again there have been rumours that the White House was awash with those and that Trump specifically has taken a lot of adderall for years.
So the idea that Trump, having to sit in the same spot for hours on end, reportedly falling asleep at times, could be going above and beyond his "daily quota", isn't outside the realms of possibility.
Plus Congressman Kinzinger saying he stank. https://news.yahoo.com/ex-gop-lawmaker-doubles-down-115915282.html
Can he be questioned about the political miasma investing the legal system?
Might he consider investing in Portaloo?
(I hear they have an individual range with gold filigree on the levers)
