    Me disliking someone is the greatest crime there is, and people I dislike should definitely be locked up.

    I say that mantra everyday while I bow down to the altar I've created of Washington elites.

    You nailed it!

    Trump is very much a fascist by definition. Is he a Nazi.... ehh... I dunno. His own defense secretary, John Kelly has said that Trump would often praise Adolf Hitler though so there's that.

    So I don't really know what the takedown is here by saying that people from the left accuse Trump of being a fascist or a Nazi. Like... yeah he kind of makes the case for himself. Don't listen to me... known leftie... listen to the words of John Kelly who is very much not a leftie. Guy who went out of his way at the White House podium to attack a black congresswoman.

    So yeah please keep reminding people of stories like this if you think that's good for you:

    Never attribute Dementia Don's musings to that of an evil genius versus that of a profoundly ignorant blow hard.

    Trump is a free-market capitalist, which is antithetical to leftist ideologies such as fascism and socialism. Of course, you don't know this because you're an ignorant and dishonest MORON.

    Misses the bigger point. This is the prosecutor. Not the judge or a juror. The prosecutor isn't impartial. He has to convince an impartial jury. Joe Biden himself could be the prosecutor and it wouldn't do anything to the legitimacy of the case.

    Juan Merchan was born in Colombia. The idea of him presiding over a trial of a former (and future) President is absurd. The Dems are turning our great nation into a country like Colombia. Juanito isn't fit to shine Trump's shoes, yet Trump is forced to sit there and allow him to impose restrictions on him and take away his liberty. This is just so wrong on so many levels. They are damaging the integrity of our Presidency and our legal system at the same time.

    And?? What does that have to do with all the documents that have been presented on how dt lied about his cover up of a p*rn star. trump is a convicted sexual deviant, I bet quite a few "normal" women don't want to be grabbed by the p***y...............now maybe maga girls like mtg get off on that but most women dont.

    Let's not be the feelings police, lets go with the facts and see what the jury says

    I agree with the jury part. I am curious if calling her as a witness was beneficial or detrimental. I don't get her relevance to the charges and maybe the prosecution will start making their case to the jury soon.

    Calling any witnesses who are larger that life characters with unseemly backgrounds is always something the prosecution wishes to avoid. They prefer data and facts on paper that cannot be colored in shades of grey.

    However the prosecution did not choose Daniels or Cohen as witnesses.... Donald Trump did when he chose Cohen to carry out this scheme, and when he chose to sleep with, and pay off Daniels.

    If you didn't call Michael Cohen at the very least, the Jury would likely think the Prosecution is trying to cherry pick based on documentary evidence. If you think the prosecution didn't want to call Clifford, just wait till Cohen gets called.

    I am sure he will be a super believable witness. Solid case.

    Liberty OR Death? If Trump gets his way with his Presidential Immunity SCOTUS case, Joe can help him out with the second option and nothing will happen to him.

    What? Cohen is only corroborating the documented evidence. He isn't the basis of the case. The idea is that without calling him, it looks like the prosecution would be hiding something. Cohen will testify to the same thing already shown by the documented business records, text messages, and recordings. He isn't providing a basis for anything.

    It seems pretty solid. It was smart of the prosecution to relay on the testimony of Cohen as he would be easily discredited if there weren't receipts and things already entered into evidence. Cohen only strengthens the evidence already presented. It isn't as if he's bring in new information to the case.
