> “I find that the witness is not credible” Having to sit and take that is probably one of the hardest things Trump has ever done in his life. May there be many more. ---

Trump trying to explain himself to the judge makes me think of an interaction I might have had with my daughter when she was 5 years old, caught misbehaving, and trying to manufacture a really implausible excuse. ---

if he meant cohen he would have said cohen. he has no trouble naming names. by saying "“sitting along side him” he tried to be cagey and the judge called him on it. ---

Nah, I hope that the third time he gets called out by the judge for violating the gag order, the judge confines him. That seems fair: 1st time, 5k; 2nd time, 10k; 3rd time, ten days getting a striped suntan. ---

_I used my preferred AI to create this. I asked it to make the parody to the tune of “Moonlight” by Kali Uchis._ 🎶 (Verse 1) Leopards eating faces, oh what a sight They’re a political party causing quite a fright With their sharp teeth and claws, they’re ready to bite Leopards eating faces, ruling the night (Chorus) Leopards eating faces, tearing us apart They promise change, but it’s all just a false start Leopards eating faces, their hunger won’t subside Oh, we’re trapped in their moonlight, nowhere to hide (Verse 2) They promised unity, but it’s all a disguise Leopards eating faces, spreading their lies They’ll pounce on your trust and leave you surprised Leopards eating faces, darkness in their eyes (Bridge) Oh, they’ll tell you it’s for the greater good But all they want is power, just as we feared they would Leopards eating faces, their hunger never ends They’ll devour our futures, our hopes they’ll suspend (Chorus) Leopards eating faces, tearing us apart They promise change, but it’s all just a false start Leopards eating faces, their hunger won’t subside Oh, we’re trapped in their moonlight, nowhere to hide (Outro) Leopards eating faces, the damage is done But we won’t be silenced, we’ll rise with the sun Together we’ll fight, we won’t be denied Leopards eating faces, we’ll turn the tide (Verse 3) Leopards eating faces, a gruesome affair Now they turn on each other, it’s a twisted affair Their hunger knows no bounds, no one is spared Leopards eating faces, a nightmare we share _Note: I asked the AI to add a verse about leopards eating other leopards’ faces._ (Bridge) Oh, the leopards in their frenzy, devouring their own kind Their hunger for power, has made them so blind Leopards eating faces, a grotesque display In their quest for dominance, they’ve lost their own way (Chorus) Leopards eating faces, tearing themselves apart No loyalty or honor, just a power-driven heart Leopards eating faces, their hunger won’t subside Oh, we’re trapped in their moonlight, nowhere to hide (Outro) Leopards eating faces, a tragic demise Their own destruction, reflected in their eyes We’ll rise from the ashes, rebuild with grace Leopards eating faces, no longer in control of this place 🎶 ---
