Trump on Trial - Episode 1 |OT| The One with the Porn Star (NOW ON TRIAL)
- Thread starter phisheep
- Start date
I just read an update from NYT that said no jurors were seated today. Do you have a source for the 9 figure?
From normal people in this thread, it seems like these court days are unbelievably boring.
Now imagine them for someone like Trump who has the attention span of a goldfish and is now separated from his fawning sycophants. A more just hell I can't think of for Donny.
I think it's that 9 weren't dismissed. They could still be dismissed later but people are interpreting that as we have 9 so far, which isn't entirely accurate.
It is insane that this reporter would do this.

I just see conspiracies everywhere. If trump can't dox jurors, why not get a press person to do it in exchange for "access"?It is insane that this reporter would do this.

Don't forget cheating on his wife with another woman, Playboy model Karen McDougal, over the course of a year, while his wife was pregnant. He didn't have to pay off Ms. McDougal; the National Enquirer did it for him, paying for her story while deceiving her that they were going to publish it, but instead shelving it.
It's possible this story will come up during this trial.

Sorry for misleading you there. Shouldn't have used the word 'seated'.
I meant that there are now 9 (potential) jurors in the jury box, but they haven't been subjected to questioning and challenge by counsel yet. That happens when all 18 seats are filled, so the number will go up and down. It's just a rough way of seeing what progress has been made.
Well part of this case is literally about using news publications to do his dirty work.

I will say from the trial I sat on, the procedurals were boring, but the trial itself was interesting. (Although I sat on a trial where the defendant took a whole bunch of drugs and alcohol, got in a car, and caused at least eight hit and run accidents, the last of which was a fatality.)
"I'll testify only if you can't ask any relevant questions."
Oof…but yea I sat on a trial that lasted six weeks once. Wrecked my summer, but it involved crooked cops blackmailing a known drug dealer. Trial took so long because there was a circus of witnesses, just an endless clown car of them. It was the sort of trial where a million voices spoke in unison about the incident, reflecting a single story told from so many perspectives, while even police force peers discussed prior shady shit on the character of the defendants painting them as problematic. It was beyond obvious at the outset what transpired and just how rotten and guilty they were, but dragged out for weeks to merely crush and hammer the point home.
Most days I played Game Boy in the juror chambers because there was little to actually discuss about the trial it given how open and shut it was. Almost nothing was presented that shifted perceptions throughout, lots of flailing by the defense lawyer. I think I beat Castlevania in that room.
Has much better hair than the original, not a very good portrait! Sad!
Personally hoping for some more meltdown tweets. Usually he ran off to so some safe space rallies when he had trouble, now he can't do that or will have to sit through the court proceedings first. So super Drowsy Donald at his rallies or no ego coddling for him. His poor heart 👀

I haven't kept up with the latest developments, can he end up in jail as a result if he is found in contempt(at least for the duration of the trial)?
Though theoretically possible, that's extremely unlikely. He's more likely to receive a series of fines, as he did in other trials.
So he is only getting jail if he keeps doing it despite the fines basically? Got it. Well knowing how he can't keep his mouth shut maybe it ends up happening anyway eventually lol.

Looks like the Sandoval hearing is not happening yet, we've gone straight into jury selection. But meanwhile...

I love that he's screaming about this being an assault on America. Once again, trying very hard to get his people to March on his behalf. But give them credit they're staying the fuck away from that courthouse and leaving him to his tormentors. Just complaining from the safety of their own home.
Come on Judge let the man have his eighth Coke of the day to stay awake.

Can't even edit his article without coming off as petty
Him having to remain in court for all this is one of the biggest repercussions this far. In theory it's not much but it's clearly making him upset which warms my heart
Thirty years ago this would have been a plotline stretched out over an entire season of a prime time sitcom and played for laughs/ridiculousness. Reality really is stranger than fiction

I'd love for him to actually use the defense I just wrote a check to my lawyer not knowing he was using it for hush money.

They're only let in for a few minutes at the start of the day. After that they are relegated to the corridor outside.
Lot's of weirdly oblivious people out there, not thinking about much beyond their little bubble. What worries me is the potential jurors with an agenda who know exactly how to lie at the right questions
With a case this big I'm sure both sides are going to be doing a full search for all social media accounts and looking for bias either way.
Judges and lawyers with enough experience can totally smell that shit a mile away.
You can hate someone's guts and still give an impartial decision
Bingo. I genuinely think I could be an impartial juror here. It's about the facts, and whether they show the person broke the law. If the Prosecution can't establish that, I wouldn't pretend they had.
Obviously the defense wouldn't want me anywhere near the jury box though.
