The ‘Sentencing’ ... will be, conveniently for the Fascists, 4 days before the Republican National Convention,
Wait. What do the fascists have to do with his sentencing? Does he think the court will allow his own voters to sentence him? He's seriously losing his mind.
Obviously not their job and it's his own actions being a racist piece of shit landlord in NYC that turned the public against him before he switched to Republican, and none of this is convenient when you only have two parties and one is stumbling over itself to be as despicable as possible and both prefer oligarchy over democracy.
This all feels like a bad reality TV show
Please, how do I unsubscribe from this program/station/network/reality?
The secret is to dream walk.....
The skill is unlocking how to stay in that reality
I love how his base of supporters never catch on the endless crying and excuses this man produces.
It's a goal of religious delusional upbringing to convince them that they are both superior AND the victim at the same time. Trump has tapped into that delusion and hence can do no wrong.
In fact, as we are seeing here the truth about him only feeds their victim hood...
Infinite patience and forgiveness for themselves, infinite hate and oppression for everyone else.
Someone needs to remove the caps lock key from Trump's Blackberry. He's Abraham Simpson with cotton candy hair yelling at the clouds.
Does anyone remember that Rick and Morty episode with the planet that has the sun that constantly screams? I think I would rather live there than listen to Trump talk ever again.
I try to avoid listening to him because I can feel my brain dying.
Hopefully they do not.
Once again: "the dying skeleton, Joe Biden, supreme commander of New York Stafe has outsmarted us once again" -Republicans, constantly
Ur-Fascism #8:
Can someone please explain to me why he keeps saying the judge is conflicted?
Trump tried to manufacture conflict of interest. The best part was when he dogwhistled for his insane followers to go after the judge's daughter.
He threatened the judge and his family, then used that as a basis for why he couldn't be impartial. If that's how the system worked then any defendant could get away with anything so long as they threaten the judge.
Oh yeah! The conflict of interest. I forgot that. I just kept thinking, " He's not conflicted. He thinks you're a piece of shit. We all do."
Because it is useful for him
It works in his favor to do so. If you think Trump ever thinks beyond that, you'd be wrong.
The judge's daughter is a Democrat whose worked for Democratic campaigns in the past. An appeals panel already weighed in on it though and said it didn't amount to a conflict worthy of recusal.

It's not about the daughter though. If it wasn't the daughter he would've used some other excuse to complain. It's more like the other answer, the judge doesn't do what Trump wants, so Trump will complain endlessly.
Meanwhile, his classified documents case being handled by a judge he appointed to the court is somehow not a conflict.
Because the judge isn't bending over backwards to accommodate Trump's every whim. That's literally it. If he was, he'd be the best, most honest and fair judge our country has ever seen.
