Debbie Downers, please settle down for the day, please? We won. Trump lost, bigly.

A few of you said to me that Juror 2 was a MAGAt who would hang the jury. You were wrong.

Speculation is pointless.

Let this happen. So far, we’re doing well. Whatever comes next, let’s wait and see, which has always been my position on everything. Wait. And. See.

Thanks so much.

@GottaLaff perhaps they were right about juror 2 but juror 2 still voted to convict?

That's an even more positive spin;-)

This is by far the best news I have read in May:

Throughout the war, the US has provided 39 HIMARS systems to Ukraine. Because of their excellent range, Russia has only managed to destroy 1 system and damage 2. This leaves us with 36 systems.

However, Germany is buying 3 new systems, which brings Ukraine back to 39. But that is not all… The US is delivering an additional 40 new HIMARS systems, meaning Russia will now be under fire from 79 HIMARS systems.

Putin will lose this war.

@randahl Putin's only hope to win this war is to win it in Washington and to a lesser extent the capitals of the EU.

If his allies in the republican party win then he could yet win.

“Among the ideas that advisers have presented to #Trump is a cut to the federal payroll tax, said one of those people, a move that could 👉🏼lower the flow of money into the Social Security and Medicare trust funds and open Trump to criticism from Democrats that he is torpedoing the safety net for elderly Americans.👈🏼 Trump has signaled he is open to the idea.”

🧵NEW THREAD for #TrumpTrial #legal #Trump here. 1/...

Break is over in courtroom. I've caught you up on most everything in previous toots, so go to my feed for details.

Press:

Prosecutor: Michael Cohen accepted responsibility. So we should be allowed to bring that out on direct and that he lied on Defendant's behest. That changed, when Michael Cohen decided to accept responsibility. So evidence about the plea is essential

I call being raped by priests and then having the Church cover it up more than a threat to Human dignity.

The church is a moral cesspit that should not exist and is in absolutely no position to pontificate on morality.

It turns out that you can't start a trade war with yourself without long lasting consequences.

Who knew? Obviously not the supporters as they did not understand anything about their project. The fools.

An interesting passage from the NYAG's latest letter to the Appellate Division:

The AG does NOT interpret Justice Engoron's prohibitions on certain loans as including appellate surety bonds—if can find a bond company to work with him.

@GottaLaff who would be mad enough to give him a bond?
