“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.
MeidasTouch coverage. Made me smile AND make another drink.

Totally off topic but that guy from Meidas Touch looks a lot my oldest son. Weird.
Have you ever seen them at the same time in the same place?
That should be the caption of his presidential portrait.
Just like me and Tom Cruise!
Three strikes and you’re out. Works for me!
I bet Trump peed himself a little when the Judge ordered him to take the stand.
Actually no, unless you count the time I showed the video to my son. Curiouser and curiouser.
I considered starting a new thread for this, “When The Leopards Eat Each Other’s Faces”.
But let’s try it here:
Chair of House Ways and Means says Matt Gaetz “is a foolish liar.” Gaetz then responds by outing Jason Smith as a closeted gay man.
Christ, just when you think that Matt Gaetz couldn’t be any more of a complete dick…
Michael Cohen’s “I see a defeated man.” would work also.
How does trump prepare himself for his court appearances?
Depends…
I think this sounds like a great idea for a thread of its own.
On their faces, each other’s faces
The leopards eat tonight…
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
Oh, well done! 
Nice! Though, old fogey that I am, I had to do a YT search to learn what the tune “Moonlight” by Kali Uchis sounds like.
Maybe I’ll ask Chat GPT to expand on my “Lion Sleeps Tonight” parody snippet just for sh!+z and giggles.
Thanks!
