It is amazing to me that these right-wing jackals can say or do whatever they like, breaking the law with impunity, and no one does anything about it. When are decent people going to put a stop to the never-ending criminality of the republicans and the Trump cult? What's it going to take?

With SCOTUS poised to undo J6 obstruction sentences, I would say it’s hopeless.

I don't see any way that dear leader won't be jailed at some point for some kind of misbehavior during this trial. Meanwhile the jury tampering must be stopped. How, I don't know. Swalwell must know how to follow up on this? This nation is being swarmed by dirtbaggery and our legal system is so slow and clunky.

The ultimate Trump comeuppance is if the Grim Reaper pays a visit while he is sitting/sleeping in court.

Day 2, still falling asleep.

Might do this daily. Mental issues prevent sleeping normal. stays up very late , and sleeps in late. I heard he would show up at white house at 11am, just in time for lunch. Ha

Or really anywhere for that matter...... so long as Grim Reaper comes.

I pray for him every night. To leave the planet.

We should use whatever tactics that got Hitler convicted. I have said all along that it would be highly unlikely to get 12 impartial jurors to convict Drumpf for anything. Hitler eventually was released and changed the world, but he wasn’t 77.

Drumpf uses delay methods to avoid accountability, so we should take a page from his playbook and buy some time: convict and sentence, and then deal with him when he gets out

It's not about 45. It's about the ideology behind his supporters.... not talking about the "deplorables" either, but the ones who are on board with Project 2025......i.e. Freedom Caucus, Heritage Foundation.....

Yes, Trump is just an obedient servant, really. Leonard Leo is the one pushing the gears. Ever see a pic of Leo? Mike Johnson could be his son.

He is a walking talking shit show of a foreign asset! He has no qualms about showing off like it’s fucking first grade show and tell! Imbeciles would handle it better.

I have faith that THIS prosecution, during jury selection, can detect and eliminate someone SO entrenched in MAGA madness that can withstand hard facts vs right-wing BS. These guys are experts.

That said, wouldn't it be a Hoot if a MAGA mole, steeped in Fox "news" mal-information, was actually CONVINCED that Trump is guilty upon hearing the actual, truthful, damning evidence and contrasting it with the poor presentation of the defense?

Have you engaged w MAGA? The part about shooting someone on 5th Avenue was spot on. They are completely lost and gone. So yeah it would be a hoot, as absurdly preposterous as it would be!

I think of them as number four and number five in line at Jonestown waiting for their koolaid. They are past conversion so we don’t need to waste energy on them. Once every eligible voter is registered and has a plan for voting we can circle back to check in.

Wow! This is really scary, that people would so openly engage in jury tampering. Those "newscasters" should be immediately censured. Dean, I hope you are right that justice will eventually win out.

Still they'll seem getting desperate as his appeals to stop/delay didn't work. drumfp looked pretry worried yesterday. And his dotards, steplik, and magats on dwitter and elsewhere will only mouth, in hopes of sending ordinary magats to the courthouse who don't seem willing to go to jail for drumfp. Last time not many, not even enough magats showed up, even after drumfp's calls, in Miami, NY and in some other places during drumfp's court appearances.

It's age-old reality that bullies are weak inside, and keep bullying with goons ready to fight for them, but when met with bigger bully or consequences fold down.

It never ceases to amaze me how “normal” conservative Republicans sell their souls so quickly to the devil. Or TFG.

I’m currently watching the media give detailed background information on each juror and it’s making me sick. Obviously, the owners of this country that be want these jurors identified, so that they can be threatened and compromised. Trump means more dollars in the right pockets and they want the circus show to continue. Hard to remain optimistic.

…”However, since the end of the Cold War, most democratic failure globally has been caused by elected governments using legal methods, such as gerrymandering and technical rule changes, to derail democracy. Their destructions of their own democracies have been supported by pluralities or majorities of their citizenries, whose polarization leads them to back policies that harm democracy to ensure their side prevails. America is on precisely this path.”

WHY aren't these people getting arrested or being charged with attempting to tamper with a jury?

I look forward to a day when everyone knows a narcissist is going to narcissist, & is thus contained.

I know this can’t or won’t happen but IMO. Jurors in this case should have Secret Service protection.

Before Michael Cohen, Trump would lament, "Where's my Roy Cohn?"
