If there's a hung jury

Retry him until there isn’t. Ain’t no NY jury gonna vote to acquit him so it ain’t double jeopardy. I’ll contribute to any fund required so I don’t wanna hear about the “cost”.

I have a suggestion for Judge Merchan:

Nothing he doesn’t already know about, of course.

He should have the hearing concerning the gag order and the harassment and disrespect towards the jurors. He should require Orangina to sit in a side room with a TV monitor and closed circuit communications with his lawyers. Then and there he can do all the wild gesticulating, cursing, muttering, and explosive sharting he wants.

I have spoken!

Truth is stranger than fiction, Episode 236,592

1. It has been reported that Trump is literally stinking up the joint with “farting”. Based upon stories that have been around for a great while, my thought is that one of the reasons that he is so upset and outraged about his required presence for great lengths of time is that he has massive fecal incontinence and that this is a real issue for him, and of course, those around him. If this is the case, it’s going to come out in the MSM “full blast”.

2. Kudos to the CNN reporter who narrated the self-immolation. Remarkable. It’s going to be shown in communication classes in universities forever.

3. Stupidity of the day: Yasmine on MSNBC said that she would not speculate as to whether the incident of the individual who set him/herself on fire is related to the trial upstairs.
You know, when I go to New York, I constantly have to avoid all kinds of self-immolations routinely: Madison Square Garden, Grand Central and Penn stations, the A train, U.N., and the top of the Empire State Building. Dime a dozen.

David...David...David Ignatius on...on...on Mourning Joe:

His…halting…cadence is designed to…to…make you think that he’s carefully…contemplating every nuance of every word. Extremely annoying.

I used to know this guy who spoke that way and one day I said to him: Why don’t you think and consider what you want to say and then, only then, say it, instead of wasting my time while you’re choosing your words.

Phoney, empty vessel. He’s not said one thing ever that any reasonably up to date informed individual couldn’t say, no matter the political viewpoint. Shallow…but…he…speaks…slowly so therefore he’s “learn-ed”.

"We don't know from one minute to the next..." -

“Commentator” on MSNBC.

That’s the first correct statement I’ve heard today. You have not one iota of ability to accurately predict what’s going to happen during and after this trial.

As many here have, I lived through the OJ Trial and listened to hours of this crap spewing out of all these experienced trial lawyers, retired judges, retired DA’s, retired defense attorneys, police, FBI, neighbors, friends, psychologists, psychiatrists, media personalities, OJ teammates, OJ Coaches, sports commentators, real estate agents, DEA Agents, stress-management personnel, probation officers, and many many many others. Did I refer to many others? It was unending. It was a minimum of ten pages per day every day in major newspapers.

And it was all bullshit. It was hundreds of thousands of hours of people who can no more predict the future than Johnny Carson’s Karnak character could and it was an utter and complete waster of time, a ante-historical masturbation of epic proportions. But the amount of advertising sold was astronomical and more people made money in media than ever before.

If you think about it, the number of individual in world history whose name was on everyone in the world’s lips in their era is infinitesimally small. I would begin a list in my awareness as so: Chaplin, FDR, Stalin, Hitler, Eisenhower, Muhammad Ali, Elvis, The Beatles, Obama, and Trump. Of course others may well be suggested such as MLK, Jagger or Mandela but to be frank, I would say that billions of people in the world may have heard their names but have no concept of their significance. AND I AM NOT DENIGRATING THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS IN THE LEAST.

The people whom I listed are, or will be, significant chapters in any world history book written in almost any country in the world. AND I KNOW YOU’RE GONNA ARGUE. I UNDERSTAND THIS BUT THUS IS MY LIST. YOU ARE WELCOME TO HAVE YOUR OWN AND PUBLISH IT HERE OR WHEREVER YOU LIKE. (You can tell I’ve posted here before)

Trump is on that list, as is Hitler: he is universally notorious for being a viciously stupidly dangerous force in America and he needs to be marginalized thoroughly. All I can say is thank God he’s not in his forties.

But the difference between Trump and anyone else on that list is that he’s a dope -he’s a mentally deficient uneducated (and I don’t give a shit from where he graduated) moron who is incapable of a coherent stream of thoughts lasting 75 seconds. He is facilitated by a willing populace who identifies with his brazen ignorance and crudity as well as his cruelty.

I could go on and on but I’ll spare you…

My question to New Yorkers or those who closely followed the Gotti trials

Did the court have to be as concerned with juror intimidation and interference in the courtroom and outside as much for the Teflon Don as they do for this miscreant, tinhorn Mussolini/Al Capone? I’m certain there were issues but I doubt if unconnected individuals were a threat, but perhaps I’m wrong.

This is beyond the pale. These people are afraid for their lives from a guy who is running for President.

"Resting his eyes.... RESTING HIS EYES!!???!!????

That did not fucking play in fourth grade. I cannot believe that the on-site reporters are saying that he may be “resting his eyes“.

If President Biden blinks too quickly, they accuse him of being asleep or having a seizure for crying out loud. I’ve never seen the President fall asleep and they’re have been no reports of him doing so in a cabinet meeting or anywhere else other than his bed. I am so fucking mad I could spit.

Omg. This is a psychiatry resident:

More details at the linky. This guy is fucking nuts.


A state medical board suspended the medical license of a Philadelphia-based physician last month, saying he posed an immediate danger to public health and safety, state records show.
Tarik Zeid, 32, is accused of assaulting a woman in his apartment, telling her that he has killed people, and saying his preferred weapon was a sniper rifle. The woman later told police that Zeid demanded sex, and choked her when she refused him, law enforcement records show.
Zeid, a doctor completing his training in psychiatry, was arrested in December and charged with aggravated indecent assault, strangulation, terroristic threats, and related crimes. He is awaiting trial with his next court hearing scheduled for June.
Zeid’s lawyer, John Rooney, declined to comment last week. The Inquirer attempted to reach Zeid directly but was unsuccessful.
