McALLEN, Texas |...Wild day in the Lower Manhattan courtroom for Donald J. Trump. I mean, hey, the porn star was on the witness stand and she was telling it all. All, brother. Before the fall, as the song says. Stormy Danniels is her stage name and she's getting her revenge.
Trump did her at a ritzy hotel in Lake Tahoe in 2006 and she won't let him forget it.
At his ongoing trial in New York, a jury heard details that rocked Trump's boat. She laid-out the events of the shacking in graphic detail, so much so that the judge let it be known to prosecutors that perhaps it was a bit too much.
From politico.com: [ The prosecutor said at one point Stormy inquired about his wife, Melania, to which Trump replied: "We actually don’t sleep in the same room." Daniels mouthed the word "Wow" to the jury after relaying that alleged comment.
Daniels said that when he took out a magazine cover with his picture on it, she dressed him down. "Are you always this rude?" she said she told him, before whacking him with the magazine. "I took it from him and I swatted him with it … right on the butt," she said.
As Daniels recounted that story, Trump appeared to mutter the word "bullshit" under his breath, while still not looking in Daniels’ direction, although her image was on TV screens in front of him. That earned Trump a warning from the judge during a sidebar with attorneys. ]
It continues tomorrow after a day off today, and the word is that prosecution in the trial will go on for about two more weeks.
Trump is facing 34 criminal felony charges.
Another interested tidbit Stormy threw out was that Trump had told her she reminded him of his daughter, Ivanka - a weird thing to say to a porn actress, for sure.
There has been no comment from Melania Trump, or daughter Ivanka. Son Eric was in attendance yesterday and continues to be the only family member showing up to support defendant Trump.
Commentary on TV talk shows is leaning toward a jury conviction.
Prison for the Republican candidate for president, however, is said to not be part of the verdict. Probation and a hefty fine, yes.
Will it matter this November, when voters go to the polls?
Not for Trump's rabid MAGA base.
A BIG YES for the rest of the country...

I just hope that the DOJ can get the Jan 6th trial underway before the election.
ReplyDeleteThe American people deserve to know what is going on with this before they cast their votes.
Republicans have forgotten how to lead.
DeleteWhy?
The political landscape is littered with sycophants seeking a defeated narcissist's favor. Their principles are founded upon deceit, bigotry, fear, and hate. The future of a great country relies on its citizens to vote their conscience and not their political party. An outcome that will determine its fate.
Echo that.
DeleteExpedite all please. Trump has been a disgraceful role model. A jury found Trump Guilty of Sexually Assaulting E. Jean Carroll. His demeaning, violent behavior toward Carroll was shameful and egregious. A legal question mark remains in Trump's forthcoming case addressing the Hush Money Payoff to Stormy Daniels, after Trump had consensual sex with Stormy and prior to his presidential win. I don't condone Trump's actions, nor will I vote for him.
ReplyDeleteTalk about coming out of the gate with a BANG. Just with what the first witness has testified to so far, they could wrap up their case right now and walk out winners. With testimony this damning, other witnesses will just be there to drive the nails on in.
ReplyDeleteYou said it.
DeleteAnd more important than all that, where is Mayra Flores eating today?
ReplyDeleteI say a cheap taco joint in, like, ugly and dirt-poor San Benito.
DeleteShe will be eating watermelon, according to her FB page. Looking plumpish now.
DeleteNothing yet today, but Mayra says she had dinner last night at Stefanos Brooklyn Pizza in Harlingen. LOL!!! Man, she'll be up to 240 pounds by Election Day.
DeleteThe "All You Can Eat" campaign, as you labeled, Mr. Editor, rolls on!!! Next stop - a buffet!!!
DeleteNothing on Mayra's lunch outing today. She may have segued to dinners. Again I asked, who's paying?
DeleteOverheard: "Mayra, no soup for you!!!" ja ja ja ja
DeleteI'm enjoying reading about what's happening in court. It just needs to happen in about 3 other courts.
ReplyDelete"Trump is accused of falsifying business records to cover up a $130,000 hush money payment to Daniels before the 2016 election"....in an effort to influence that election. Will they jail him?
ReplyDeleteStormy Daniels was asked by the prosecution about what she previously described as “grueling” prep sessions with prosecutors.
ReplyDelete“Am I correct that you hate president Trump?”, his attorney Susan Necheles asked.
“Yes”, Ms. Daniels replied.
Asked if she wants him to “go to jail”, Ms. Daniels responds: “I want him to be held accountable”.
A jury cannot give probation - so it is not a verdict option. It is a plea bargain option.
ReplyDeleteI mean all you have to ask yourself is, would Trump give $130k to someone who DIDN'T have the goods on him?
ReplyDeleteWhat a circus.
ReplyDeleteWho else is sick of hearing this Judge say he might jail Trump?
DeleteBe interesting to see how Judge Merchan reacts to this manipulation. Many of us thought he would spend minimal time with family to check off the box that he attended the graduation and then jet to a fan club meeting. We were right!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a two-tiered justice system. How many other criminal defendants would be given a day off from trial to attend a high school graduation?
A former President should lose his Secret Service if he’s convicted of a crime and sent to jail.
ReplyDeleteStormy Daniels is a Republican!!! LOL!!!!
ReplyDeletePoetic justice!!!
DeleteTotal BS putting off his classified documents trial!! She appears to be a Trumpster helping him in any way.... Remove her from this trial!!!
ReplyDeleteRemove this Judge Aileen Cannon asap in replace with a real JUDGE
This judge was appointed by Trump and s only bending over. Congress should impeach her.
ReplyDeletePeople stay true and Vote Blue up and down the ticket we cannot afford to let this psychopath Back. Into The. White House.
ReplyDeleteThe largest voter coalition is anti-Trump. Chew on that one, Republicans.
ReplyDeleteMost expect Trump to be convicted in hush money trial: Poll
ReplyDeleteWho is the only person to lose the Popular vote TWICE, never get 50% approval and increase the National Debt by an all-time RECORD 42% in 4 years? THAT WOULD BE TRUMP!!!
ReplyDeleteWhoever stands and supports this man, supports everything he does. I bet your children are proud that you voted and supported a man who time after time has been proven guilty maybe not in in a court room but little by little his lies are catching up with him.
ReplyDeleteIn headline, todger is a word for penis? Had never heard it. Sounds like English slang.
ReplyDeleteDonald Trump has now made clear that he won’t concede if he loses the election. Believe him.
ReplyDeleteWho cares if he never concedes. Joe Biden will ignore all that BS, as will America. Trump and MAGA are fading fast. No talk of a Red Wave. LOL!!!!
DeleteTrump Is Planning to Send Kill Teams to Mexico to Take Out Cartel Leaders
ReplyDeleteDonald Trump has told allies about his plans to covertly send Special Forces to Mexico to assassinate drug kingpins, sources tell Rolling Stone magazine.
Anything for laughs from that clown.
