If there were to be any proof that God does not exist, it would be that Trump put his hand on a Bible and he did not burst into flames.

"Non, je ne regrette rien"

Particularly when talking about campus politics, media treat "#Jewish" as if it were synonymous with "pro-Israel"--despite polling that finds 38% of US Jews under 40 agreeing that “#Israel is an apartheid state,” and 33% believing it is committing genocide against #Palestinians.

"When my grandmother arrived here, after the Holocaust, the Jewish Agency promised her a house [..] They then took her to Ajami, in Jaffa, to a beautiful beach house. She saw that on the table there were still the dishes of the Arabs who lived there and who had been kicked out. So she went back to the agency and said, take me back to the tent, I will never do to anyone else what was done to me [..] How could we have become what we opposed?"

By all accounts the recording was terrible in terms of quality/audibility.

#Trump cont’d bashing #Forbes. He was all over the place, but among the things he said were:
Forbes is, 1) owned by China, 2) owned by Russia, 3) is out of business or 4) all of the above.

#Engoron mostly backed off attempts trying to reign trump’s testimony in, he let NYAG #Wallace deal w/ Trump how he wanted.

#NYAG: Why did you have the statements of financial condition prepared…2011-2017"

“The defendant stands alone in American history for his alleged crimes. No other president has engaged in conspiracy and obstruction to overturn valid election results and illegitimately retain power. The indictment squarely charges the defendant for this conduct, and the defendant’s constitutional and statutory challenges to it are meritless.”

Jack Smith mincing no words. https://mastodon.social/@GottaLaff/111365529385345791

Justice #Engoron tells the #NYAG that he's following his lead, & if he wants to let the witness "ramble" on w/ "unresponsive" answers, he'll do that.

#Kise defends what he describes as Trump's "brilliant" response.

#Trump: “I have a lot of money, a lot more money than you thought."

Trump goes on to say that since his financial statements have disclaimer clauses, telling parties to do their own due diligence, there can be no #fraud. He’s totally off topic.

They read books in Arkansas? (Believe me, I was tempted to say something a lot less charitable.)

@AlliFlowers True! A terrorist organization is no reliable or tolerable "source of information".

Angry protesters paid #Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu a home visit over the weekend, chanting, "jail now!" They were echoing rising cries from across the country for the veteran Israeli leader to step down. “He must resign!”

I will put a marker here and say he will not testify in his criminal trials. He is a doddering, petty, vindictive old man who lies and cries.

From Nov 2021 about #Trump followers threatening #election workers.

"In Vermont, a man who says he works in construction told workers at the state election office and at Dominion Voting Systems that they were about to die.

“This might be a good time to put a f‑‑‑‑‑‑ pistol in your f‑‑‑‑‑‑ mouth and pull the trigger,” the man shouted at Vermont officials... “Your days are f‑‑‑‑‑‑ numbered.”"

I don't believe Sphincter Johnson and his wife have no bank accounts, nor do I believe they're low-balance accounts.

What I suspect is that he has "Christian-lawyered" himself a clever means of keeping his money out of government's view.

They're laughing at him in the spillover room:

"12:09 p.m.: The audience watching the proceedings on screens in the spillover room is actively laughing at Trump as he testifies, especially when he starts railing against the attorney general’s office and the presiding judge…"
