“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.”

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…"

It's quite something listening to experienced journos being *shocked* that Trump is being a bloviating asshole while on the stand.

As if his former behavior all these years was simply an ACT.

As if bloviating asshole isn't who Trump really is.

As if he hasn't been rewarded his whole life for being exactly WHO he is (a bloviating asshole).

As if him being a bloviating asshole isn't why so many GOPers LIKE him.

Dear lord. Our media people need to get their shit squared away. This ain't it.

After migrant parent pressure, Anne Frank daycare center to be renamed - report

Parents in Saxony-Anhalt German State promoted the decision to rename the "Anne Frank" daycare center in Tangerhütte, a small town in the state, according to reports in German media.

The move was driven by parents who found it difficult to explain Frank's significance to their children. According to Apollo News, a German news site, in a small town in Saxony-Anhalt, a daycare center has become the center of a local scandal.

Interesting comment... but trump is clueless...

"ruled against me before he knew anything about me. He called me a fraud, and he didn’t know anything about me"

so trump AGREES the judge ruled strictly on the merit and facts of the case and not the person....

66/ Klasfeld:

Habba objects: "Asked and answered."

Engoron: "No, it hasn't been asked and answered. It's been asked. It hasn't been answered."

Trump monologues on the disclaimer clause.

Judge: If you want to learn about the disclaimer clause, read my opinion — for the first time.

Trump: You’re wrong about the opinion.

Trump: "I think it’s fraudulent the decision. The fraud is on the court."

64/ [Me: Wow... SO wanting headlines, SO wanting to distract from his guilt, SO playing to his violent base]

👉🏼Trump yells moments later that Engoron "ruled against me before he knew anything about me. He called me a fraud, and he didn’t know anything about me. ... The fraud is on the court; not on me."

Trump is equally furious about Wallace’s questions, which are exploring why Mar-a-Lago is assessed differently for tax purposes than it is valued in Trump’s statements of financial condition.
