    … Donald Trump posted on his social media platform in all caps that “I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE CHARGES ARE IN THIS RIGGED CASE.”

    “I AM ENTITLED TO SPECIFICITY JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE,” he wrote.

    Maybe you should have stayed awake instead of farting yourself to sleep every day.

    The post comes after Trump watched Judge Merchan spend over an hour instructing the jury on the law and specific charges in the case…

    😙🤌

      They should ask him what he thinks he’s on trial for—he might confess to something that hasn’t even been uncovered yet.

        That only works if the person being questioned has a consience. Drumpf would most likely answer “because I’m supposed to be the president, the election was rigged and they kicked me out, now I’m on trial to keep me from going back”

      Honest question. How did we get here? How are we discussing the very real world situation where an elderly sex offender who probably won’t see a jail, (but absolutely would if he had been just some nobody) is running for president, again…

      Against another elderly man, whom everybody seems to dislike but everybody is going to vote for again because the other guy is even worse.

      Both candidates very well could die in the next 4 years, and the stress of the job dramatically increases those odds.

      Biden is older at 81, while trump is 77 (according to google), but Biden is much more physically healthy, whereas if Weeble-Wobbles wanted to make a trump liscensed Weeble-Wobble they wouldn’t need to make a new body shape for them. Just use the existing shape.

      How did we get here? How did we get to the point where everything sucks, everybody knows it sucks, but we’re just supposed to along with it…and we do!

      So now we get to watch as a clearly mentally incomplete elderly man falls asleep, and farts in the court room. I’m unclear if its illegal to do that, but you have to imagine whomever the judge was had to be offended at the very least. With anyone else, I’d say it’s a bad idea to piss off the judge of your case. In this case though, I’m not sure it matters. He doesn’t face responsibility for anything. He doesn’t care. This is all a mockery to him.

      HOW DID WE GET HERE???

        Heavy oppression of the poor through underfunded education and social systems, coupled with propagandist media preying on their fear of the unfamiliar while blaming their oppression on the Democrats’ desire to help everyone but them. Like it or not, many of them are the victims, not the problem.

          Doesn’t so much make me feel “better” as makes my sadness cover more ground. Like “Oh shit! This bullshit isn’t an Americzn thing? It’s just a human thing???”

          I was joking to myself earlier that if Earth were a Lemmy instance, I’d register on a different instsnce.

      “Ask your lawyer”

      I don’t even have a lawyer that can beat these charges. I am entitled to a lawyer who can beat these charges.
