63/ Rubin, cont'd... Trump's playing to his base bigly here.

“I think she is a political hack; she used this case to try to become governor…. this is a disgrace. All you have to do is read the legal papers and the scholars. This is a political witch hunt, and I think you should be ashamed of herself.”

The question was solely about whether he agreed with the AG office's position that “the statements of financial condition were overstated."

#Engoron: "I beseech you to control him, if you can,” he warned he will control #Trump if the lawyers don’t.

#Kise & #lHabba jumped up to defend Trump, calling his answers “responsive”.

Habba said Engoron's here to "hear what he has to say.”

Engoron: "I'm not here to hear what he has to say. HE’s here to ANSWER questions!"
He ordered them to sit down.
Kise said the judge should want to hear EVERYTHING Trump has to say.

Engoron: “No I do not want to hear ‘everything’ this witness has to say.”

@AlliFlowers @MJmusicinears With their phony baseless clown show in infantile retaliation for Trump's impeachment double-Burger today's confederate "Republicans" are putting all their contempt for the dignity of United States Congress on display.

Besides simple math telling that their infamous abuse of congressional power will be going to crash-land in the Senate, where they're also lacking a two-thirds majority.

54/ [Me: So much for Trump getting more succinct after the break. Nope. We knew that could never last]

Klasfeld:

Trump returns to the "disclaimer clause" and "worthless statement clause," in a lengthy monologue — again, an issue decided against him before trial and brought up apropos of nothing.

39/ Klasfeld:

Asked whether he now believes Mar-a-Lago is worth $1.5 billion, Trump responds: "I think between a billion and a billion-five."🙄

Back to Rubin:

State attorney Kevin Wallace asks Trump about his involvement in the 2021 statement of financial condition. Trump says his focus at that time was on China and Russia and "keeping our country safe," 👉🏼drawing some laughs from the courtroom.👈🏼

Wallace reminds him he wasn't president in 2021. (Trump left office on Jan. 20, 2021.)

28/Habba gets more aggressive. “The burden is on the AG to ask better questions.” Engoron: “We are not here to hear what he has to say. We are here to listen to him answer questions.”👈🏼

Habba pushes back, “Yes, you are here to listen to what he has to say.” 😳Engoron reiterates he is here to listen to Trump answer questions and then loses his temper, “SIT DOWN!” He instructs Wallace to continue, but not before Trump adds, “This is a very unfair trial.”🤦🏻‍♀️

18/ Klasfeld:

Trump caricatures the AG's case:

"Trump had no money. And he wrote up phony statements, and he defrauded banks," even though they were represented by the best lawyers.

Wallace: I move to strike that answer.
Granted.

👉🏼👉🏼Judge: "Mr. Kise, can you control your client? This is not a political rally."👈🏼

Kise eventually tells him: "You're in control of the courtroom, not me."😳

The NT authors tell us that Herod was killing first born Jewish sons to preempt a Messiah from dethroning him, retelling the Ramses legend and Passover. Besides the fact that the Jews themselves do not remember this - and they do remember stuff like this - the Romans didn't either. Romans were real bean counters, and they would have kept records of both Herod's edict and how many Jews they killed, day by day. They don't exist.

Their war is not just with Hamas. They are trying to make #Gaza uninhabitable and cleansed from all Palestinians.

@futurebird

Trump is already talking about using the Insurrection Act on his first day in office, if he is reelected, to put down any civil protests. I can’t stress this enough. No matter what you think of Biden, his age, his policies, he is no dictator. He believes in democracy. We cannot let Trump anywhere near the White House again.

Rich kids are more likely to get into an Ivy League school than middle-class kids with the exact same test scores. Here's a big reason why.

@GottaLaff

Asked why he reinstalled himself as trustee before leaving the White House, Trump answered because he would go back to business.

all... unequivocally stating in his own voice and mind knowingly.... that .. HE LOST THE ELECTION....

One things I learned during 35 years in education: While “struggle” is a necessary component of learning, too much struggle leads to frustration which inhibits learning, and teachers cannot judge the difference as well as they think they can.

"Your anger against the truth is reprehensible," says former #DOJ Prosecutor and NJ Gov. #ChrisChristie. Maybe he's unaware that the #MAGA crowd doesn't even KNOW the truth. They live in a #FoxNews & #SocialMedia echo chamber, and all they see is disinformation to keep them uninformed and compliant.

#MarkZuckerberg knows that his algorithm maximizes ad revenue by whipping up outrage (whether based in truth or not), but he doesn't give a damn. He's too busy laughing all the way to the bank.
