We will see this morning if NY even has a functioning court system anymore.
Indeed.
Hoping the two attorneys, on the jury, can at least bring some decency to this sham trial.
Good morning, exit!
We have some VERY SPECIAL May birthdays, on the MM thread! š š
THERE IS NO CRIME, which means that the right thing to do is to END THIS SCAM NOW AND FOREVERMORE. It would be a Big, Bold, Beautiful, but Highly Unexpected, yet BRILLIANT, step toward Justice in New York, and our Nation as a whole!
Right on, dear RPOTUS!!
Thank you for this late night Truth, edie!
Thanks for this clip, of Dersh, Gran.
His expression, of Merchan going berserk, was priceless!
A few were commenting, on the forum thread about this, how this unhinged judge reminded us of Capt Queeg, and, his strawberries!
Loved it when Dersh said, He cleared out all of the media!! I don’t know why I was allowed to stay!
Glad he was, so he could report on this crazy judge, afterwards š
Thanks for posting NNN and the ping.
Guess we need to send this Al Reuters article to the Senate Sergeant at Arms....

DUBAI, May 20 (Reuters) - Iran proclaimed five days of mourning for President Ebrahim Raisi on Monday, though the muted atmosphere revealed little of the spectacular public grief that has accompanied the deaths of other senior figures in the Islamic Republic's 45-year history. While government loyalists packed into mosques and squares to pray for Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian, both killed in a helicopter crash, most shops remained open and the authorities made little effort to interrupt ordinary life.
A year after Raisiās hardline government cracked down violently to end the biggest anti-establishment demonstrations since the 1979 revolution, opponents even posted furtive video online of people passing out sweets to celebrate his death....

Amal Clooney, wife of actor George Clooney, was among the experts who advised the International Criminal Court (ICC) in seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar over alleged war crimes.
The ICCās chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, asked Clooney, 46, to assist him with evaluating evidence of suspected war crimes and crimes against humanity in Israel and the Gaza Strip, where Israeli military forces have been operating since the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas.

Good morning, exit!
I don’t hold out any hope of this “totally unbiased” Judge Merchan granting a dismissal of this Circus Trial.
I do expect that Trump will be found guilty of what is the big question.
The demonrats think that being able to call Trump a convicted felon will help them.
Has any of this helped them or has it helped President Trump?
This will be more of the same for them, A HUGE BACKFIRE!
Good morning, edie!
Thanks for posting Pres. Trump’s late night TRUTH.
He nails it as always but I’m sure that this Judge will continue this sham of a trial.
The Judge thinks he is going to be famous and a hero.
But I have news for him, history will judge him harshly as a very biased, conflicted, corrupt Judge.
Good morning, Jane!
Found this on X......

Judge Merchan has so restricted my testimony that defense has decided not to call me. Now, itās elementary that the judge instructs the jury on the law, so I understand his reluctance. /1
But the Federal Election Campaign Act is very complex. Even Antonin Scaliaāa pretty smart guy, even you hate himāonce said āthis [campaign finance] law is so intricate that I canāt figure it out. /2
Picture a jury in a product liability case trying to figure out if a complex machine was negligently designed, based only on a boilerplate recitation of the general definition of ānegligence.ā Theyād be lost without knowing technology & industry norms. /3
/4 Someone has to bring that knowledge to the jury. Thatānot the lawāwas my intended testimony. For example, part of the stateās case is that they wrongly reported what they knew to be a campaign expenditure in order to hide the payment until after the election.
/5 Cohen even testified they just wanted to get past the election.
/6 so, we were going to go over the reporting schedules, showing that even if they thought it was a campaign expenditure to be reported, an expenditure made on October 27 (when $$ sent to Daniels atty) would not, under law, be reported until Dec. 8, a full 30 days after election
/7 but While judge wouldnāt let me testify on meaning of law, he allowed Michael Cohen to go on at length about whether and how his activity violated FECA. So effectively, the jury got its instructions on FECA from Michael Cohen!
/8 judge Merchand has asked the sides to submit further proposed instructions on FECA, and then I assume theyāll argue it out. Iām not optimistic.
/9 So youāve got a judge who contributed to Trumpās opponent presiding over a trial by a prosecutor who was elected on a vow to get Trump, for something DOJ and FEC chose not to prosecute, on a far-fetched legal theory I which the prosecution has been allowed ā¦
/10ā¦ To repeatedly misstate the law or elicit incorrect statements of law from witnesses (and unlike Cohenās, my testimony would not have gone to the ultimate legal issue). The judgeās bias is very evident.
/11 Why do pluralities of Americans see Biden as a greater threat to democracy than Trump? Itās in part because of farces like this trial.

I’m sure the Iranian people would love to be dancing in the streets in pure celebration of this evil man’s death.
The way the ByeDone Regime reacted tells us they are definitely on the side of evil.
Will ByeDone attend the funeral?
Disgusting is right.
This will not stop Bibi and what he has to do to get rid of Hamas.

Good morning, Lakeside Granny,
Here are RPOTUS arrival comments this morning.
NOT liking any of Fox’s reports about how things are deteriorating in the Kangaroo court so far today.
Corrupt judge shutting down Costello and thwarting the defense at every turnš”
But I have news for him, history will judge him harshly as a very biased, conflicted, corrupt Judge.
You’re welcome and AMENš
This rotten-t0-the-core judge is a total DISGRACE and should have NEVER presided over this travesty of “justice!!!”
Good morning, edie!
Thanks for the link to Trump’s remarks this morning.
Again, the audio I listened to was horrible.
We can only hope that the jury sees how unfairly the Judge is treating Mr. Costello’s testimony but he let Stormy go on and on when what she was saying was not relevant.
Amal Clooney Played Key Role in ICC Arrest Warrant for Netanyahu, Hamas Leaders
She and hubby, George, will be hosting a large fundraiser for their dear leader, Briben .... imagine that.
