Each page yesterday took him just a little more than a minute, so this will take >30 mins.
Between that & the testimony readbacks, also expected to take >30 mins, there will likely be >1 hour this morning w/the jury in the courtroom, not actively deliberating.
The thing that Trump has been most successful with during the last eight years, is getting money from Americans by making them think that he, a billionaire conman, fights for them.
#Trump has his posse again. Today it’s more #Republican elected officials. Today, Trump will be joined by the #House speaker, #MikeJohnson, as well as #NorthDakota’s governor, #DougBurgum, a contender to be Trump's running mate. Also present will be Representatives #ByronDonalds & #CoryMills of Florida, & #VivekRamaswamy, who was one of Trump's primary rivals this year. Both Donalds & Ramaswamy are longshot hopefuls to be Trump's running mate.
#MichaelCohen testifies about his 2019 testimony before the #House of Representatives, one hearing of which was televised. During that hearing, he sealed his split w/ #Trump, calling him a #racist & a #ConMan who was #unfit for office.
Cohen recaps his apology to the public during that testimony. Cohen is one of the only Trump allies or advisers who actually served time in #prison.
So are those personal legal fees paid by others in cases for the orange menace actually taxable benefits? And has he declared the income and paid the taxes on it? I wonder who may want to ask this? Isnt tax evasion what brought Capone down?
"Americans must not fall for the two greediest and most unscrupulous businessmen in the world—DONALD TRUMP and ELON MUSK—tossing our democracy into the toilet to enrich themselves.
These men have betrayed our country, are now endangering the whole world, and must be kept far from all government functions. Trump must be jailed and denied re-election; Musk must see all his government contracts and taxpayer subsidies end immediately.
Americans should not be paying for the destruction of America." -s.a.
Holy shit. Univision, the nation's largest Spanish-language network, has decided to cancel ad-buys by the #Biden campaign in Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, & Florida after #Trump met with their executives last week. Our media continues to fail us. This is how our democracy dies.

Reverend Martin Luther King Jr: "You can not legislate morality."
"Party of Trump" 2023: "Hold my (Not Bud Light) beer." 🤦♂️
The irony of a Party now obsessed with legislating #morality, has rallied around an #amoral, thrice married, serial adulterer #billionaire#conman who paid hush money to a porn star, and now convicted of #defamation of someone who credibly accused him of #rape.
