But essentially you want to disable the preview window when trying to post a video link, otherwise when it creates the preview, it tricks the board software into thinking you’re trying to add the video as an attachment rather than provide a link.
Once the video preview has been created, whether by accident or on purpose, it’s “tainted” and it won’t let you post it anymore. So you trick it by making it think it’s another video and add a #1 to the end of the URL, which makes it look like a different link but still goes to the same video. And if the link has already been done with #1, you can do it as #2, #3, and so on.
That’s what I did in my post; I put the same link that you did but added #1 to the end. I also made sure to disable the preview pane so that it didn’t create the preview before I submitted the post.
This also lets you edit a post with a video in it. Let’s say you successfully post the video but realize you made a mistake. If you edit it and try to save it you’ll also get the error about embedding media. So before you save it, just do the same trick; add a #1, or increment the existing number to the next one.
I agree with all. However, I do believe that they would have to agree that the evidence provided at the trial indicated that Trump was either hiding another crime or believed he was. I wonder if that will play in his appeal?
Don’t get me wrong, I agree with the verdict and have no doubt that Trump was working to hide evidence of another crime. I just wonder if the appeal will try to pick nits with this.
I think they did an excellent job of summarizing the nuts and bolts of the case – probably very useful for anybody who couldn’t devote the kind of time they’d have liked to…
I am morally certain it was part of the plan all along. Judge Merchan, however, immediately saw through the ploy…just look at all the years of combined courtroom experience there is between Todd Blanche and Susan Necheles. There’s no way the two of them didn’t realize they should have been on their feet objecting multiple times. Instead they let the prosecution go on and on until that bell had been irrevocably rung.
Sorry if this was already explained, but why were there 34 charges and not 33? Cohen submitted 11 false invoices, resulting in 11 false ledger entries and 11 false checks issued.
I was hoping it was because the universe has a perverse sense of humor so that we can post “Google ‘Trump Rule 34’ for more information” and hope people bite on the troll.
Anyway, while I’m not surprised by anything the Republican politicians or pundits say, I am surprised that so many from the center or left think that political campaigning should override a possible prison sentence when others have gone to prison for their parts in the same scheme.
Glenn Kirshner had a good analogy talking to Brian Tyler Cohen. Paraphrasing,
Burglary is the crime of entering a property without permission for the purpose of committing another crime. You and I recruit another person* and the three of us break into somebody’s house.
You’re just interested in loot, so you start grabbing stuff and putting it into a sack.
I hate the guy so I start beating him up.
The third guy is a firebug and sets the house on fire.
We have three different crimes, theft, battery, and arson, but for the crime of burglary our motives don’t matter, we conspired to commit it.
I’m as anti-Trump as is reasonably possible, and absolutely think he should serve jail time. That said… I don’t think it would be ridiculous for a nonviolent offender with little flight risk to be released on a short furlough for something like the RNC. Not saying that that IS the right decision, but I don’t think “here’s an event which is a cornerstone of the democratic electoral process, there’s enormous value to the nation for it to go ahead” is a totally spurious argument.
Possible, but I think unlikely. They spent two days deliberating it, which implies that at least some jurors weren’t ready to vote “guilty” right away. There was some element of the crime that was still debatable, to them. And I think that it’s likely that one of those debatable elements was the underlying crime that elevates the falsifications to felonies.
In the jury deliberations I’ve been in on, even when we were reasonably sure, we still went through each and every charge, step by step, to make sure we were dead certain.
