MSNBC announced breaking news with a crawl that said, “Trump worried about Pecker leaking.”😂

He nodded off again this morning. In the vein of the guy who harassed Stormy:

It would be a shame if the trial ended because he fell asleep and they couldn't wake him up.

Perhaps we should start sending some stuffies to the courthouse as Trump's nap companions, and name them all Karma

Thank you for your insights.

The threats of actual violence and even potential mob ties have been avoided by the news, even in the wake of Trump's use of stochastic terrorism and January 6th incitement. It would be nothing less that "about time" if a NYC DA could get their hands on testimony about such activities.

The list of people Trump supporters have to believe are lying is in the thousands at this point. All for the glory of a broke, senile game show host.

A crime novelist couldn’t have come up with a better last name for the catch and kill guy. Perhaps that’s what drove him into the sleaze business to begin with?

I’m sure the jokes are out there but I have not seen them. Considering the subject matter, that this guy’s name is PECKER is such a slow softball—ok, really a hardball—that I’m surprised I haven’t seen a lot of jokes being unzipped.

Great piece, Jay! I have suspected for years that he is nothing so much as a gold-plated NY mob boss.

Trump will be infuriated! That’s so good! The rat gets caught in the trap!🤨

I love Just Security and their timeline is quite the explanation of how all this crimming occurred and played out. Well worth a read.

Why does the media persist in calling it a hush money trial? Are they afraid of linking hush money to illegal campaign contributions would alienate tfg’s guys? Is it too complex for them to explain?

I don't think I've seen anything over the years addressing drumpf's contacts with mob families during his adventures in Atlantic City. Hard to believe they didn't take place.

And the most horrible circumstance of all this is DT is running for Prez, the GOP supports him, millions of people support him! We have dire situations/war going on in the world and in our country and we are forced to listen to this distraction from whats going on in our country/our world. We have huge issues to face, ending wars, protecting our students, protecting our loved ones, eliminate fear of leaving our homes and not feeling safe! This is the day I look forward to!

The "No Fingerprints" has me slightly worried. He is a mob boss and as such nothing comes or goes directly to him!! My other worry is that the defense will try and minimize the affairs. What billionaires do not have affairs???
