Trump is one of the most embarrassing humans to have ever disgraced this earth. I often wish I lacked any self awareness so I could blindly hack my way through life. But my daddy wasn’t rich so I was forced to be painfully aware of my actions to this very day
I mean, you have people in your life who actually like you. I don’t know if the same can be said of Trump.
A bit of history. Trump’s legal mentor was Roy Cohn. Cohn was Joe McCarthy’s hatchet man. Cohn had a reputation as one of the most vicious pitbulls in New York legal circles. Cohn was also gay, and when he was dying of AIDS Trump dropped him like a hot potato.
Wow, thanks for sharing that. I had no idea.
It is a prime example of right-wing hypocrisy, bullyism, and cowardice.
on the one hand, aww.
on the other hand, fuck em.
No, no aww, Roy Cohn was a shitheel.
Cohn was also gay, and when he was dying of AIDS Trump dropped him like a hot potato.
From your same wiki link:
and according to Seymour’s notes, Trump was the last person to speak to Cohn on the phone before he died in 1986.
I haven’t found anything that corroborates your statement that Trump “dropped him”.
I did find this though, which reminds me of South Park; it sounds exactly like Cohn was a customer of CumHammer Brand Management:
the AIDS Memorial Quilt describes him as “Roy Cohn. Bully. Coward. Victim.”
Edit: Wait, actually, looking at one of the sources from the Wiki article, there was this bit:
Bell also doubts that Cohn’s last conversation was with Trump, who, she said, abandoned his lawyer when he found out that Cohn was H.I.V.-positive. “They were so close, they talked at least several times a week,” she said. “And as soon as he found out, he took all his cases away from Roy except for one and got new lawyers. After all they’d been through together.”
Seymour is Christine Seymour, Cohn’s telephone operator, who listened in on many of his conversations. Bell is Susan Bell, Cohn’s secretary.
Just once, for contrast, I’d like someone to come up with a positive story about Trump.
Roy Cohn is not a homosexual. Roy Cohn is a heterosexual man, Henry, who fucks around with guys.
[off topic and NSFW] Netflix show ‘Loudermilk’ is about an addiction therapist. He’s leading a group and one of the patients says that he was in a successful band back in the 1990s.
Another patient asks him about groupies. “Ever get a double blowjob? You know, one girl and two dudes?”
[Millennium approaches intensely.]
What is that supposed to mean? Please
This is a reference to the play Angels in America, wherein Roy Cohn on his AIDS-in-denial deathbed is haunted by the ghosts of people he’s wronged
Two sections from the article: ““Closing arguments are for an advocate to comment on the evidence presented, on the relevant law, and on how the latter applies to the former to justify the result sought. Such arguments may not be used to testify, to introduce new evidence, to make a campaign speech, or to comment on irrelevant matters,” Engoron emailed Trump’s legal team on Tuesday afternoon.” Ha ha
and
The judge’s warnings came after months of Trump’s unhinged speeches outside the courtroom and social media posts in which the billionaire labeled the judge a leftist hack, insulted the judge’s law clerk, and dismissed the entire trial as an empty political persecution." Who is “the billionaire” in this sentence? LoL
This is unrelated, because nobody is surprised by this development.
I’m sure it’s partly the choice of photo, but just in the last two years, Trump is really starting to look old. Like fucking hell, I don’t see how Republicans can complain about Joe Biden’s age when that’s their guy.
I can only hope his heart is about 20 years older than he looks.
People go on about Biden, but Trump is the one I expect to drop dead of a stroke in the middle of one of his crazy rants.
From your lips to God’s ears.
shocker!
Has this ever happened before in the history of courts? A non-lawyer defendant with representation doing a closing argument himself?
