The chonky fascist was whining about being silenced and then decides not to take the stand.

I just hope they’re outnumbered when November rolls around.

Everything I’ve seen from these traitor trash asshats suggests they’re bullies and cowards so I’m not sure I buy your lone wolf theory. They’re far more comfortable in a group where the opponent is outnumbered, that’s when they really show their colors.

I guess we’ll see. The examples you point to don’t seem numerous enough to potentially affect turnout though. Like I said, they’re cowards so they don’t attack large groups such as people waiting to vote.

I’m in california in a reddish town in a “blue” county. The saturday and sunday before election day, during early voting, one of those “convoys” drove by our polling places in lifted trucks with trump flags and fired off a few rounds. They made a loop around town all day to all the polling places, went by the one by my home seven or eight times. Law enforcement did jack shit, because one of the folk in the “convoy” lives three streets over and is one of those problem “always driving through the 25 and by the school at 60, rolling coal” neighbors. We’d have noticed if he was arrested. Trump still lost easily in our county. Probably because all us blue voters had already voted.
At least half of the population is below average intelligence. So the smarts better get out and vote.
There’s also some tactical value in pretending youre going to testify - the prosecution team will spend a lot of time and effort preparing for it and how to best conduct the cross examination. In this case I doubt it made much difference on that front though.
Now he can pretend he got silenced as the reason why he didn’t take the stand.
You really gonna complain because the guy shut his fat face for once?
Who is complaining?
I am. There’s no way Trump takes the stand and manages to avoid perjuring himself.
He may have been 100% serious about taking the stand. His lawyers also know that would be legal suicide and talked him out of it.

Boooo. I’d love to see a few perjury charges tacked on.
And contempt.
And electrical
And my ax.
And this is likely exactly why they didn’t call him to the stand. They knew he’d immediately perjure himself, because he’s a compulsive liar. No amount of coaching or “just keep your answers short and only answer exactly what was asked” will keep Trump from lying on the stand.
You honestly think Trump would face perjury charges?

Just more examples of his dingleberries not having to follow the same rules as everyone else.
Intimidation. Plain and simple.
Did they defense even defend him?
Edit: corrected spelling because someone thinks they are a smart ass.

Thank you for the concise summary
The rest were just bureaucratic filler that most of the jury probably couldn’t care less about.
Which was itself part of the defense strategy. In similar cases, the two sides would agree on the validity of certain pieces of evidence, making those technical witnesses unnecessary. But Trump probably told his lawyers not to admit to anything, which probably drew the trial out for a week or two, and forced the prosecution to have to cover every detail, in the hopes the jury would find it all too overwhelming.

An Y? You mean a Y? “Y” starts with the W sound.

Do we really have to wait a whole week for closing arguments? Just get the hung jury announcement out of the way and let in him off Scot-free, yet again. Can he just have a heart attack already? Sick of this

I have no hope of him ever facing consequences like the rest of us would.
I feel stupid for reading any of these articles or commenting on them. We all know this movie ends with him getting away with it, but it’s still compelling compelling for some stupid reason.
All I’m seeing is that the guy on the right dropped a really nasty one and the guy on the left is mad because he didn’t get a heads-up.
So a guy that claims to have been working as Cohens lawyer took the stand. If he was Cohens lawyer though, wouldn’t attorney client privilege have prevented him from testifying about anything?
So the mere fact of his presence proves him to be a liar, right? What am I missing?

Sure, I understand that, but I can’t think of any way their relationship, especially what was testified to, would be covered by that.

Has anyone in this family even seen a chicken?
Cocka-cocka-cocka!
Chaw! Chee-chaw! Chee-chaw!
If it weren’t for that damn gag order Dear Leader would have testified
No balls
Guilty people usually don’t.
A whole week before closing arguments, yeesh.
Maybe they bought one of the jurors?
As usual, a coward.
