Five. Five times you've been denied to delay your trial, ah, ha ha ha. See you Monday in court for the start of your criminal trial, Fatso. Someone might want to mention that most of the "pretrial publicity" was provided by the defendant. Judge declines to delay Trump’s NY hush money trial over complaints of pretrial publicity https://apnews.com/article/trump-hush-money-trial-4c79619c5e89e13d672e070a4244a302
He wants the trial to be held off indefinitely ....... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW YORK (AP) — The judge in Donald Trump’s hush money criminal case on Friday turned down the former president’s request to postpone his trial because of publicity about the case. It’s the latest in a string of delay denials that Trump has gotten from various courts this week as he fights to stave off the trial’s start Monday with jury selection. Among other things, Trump’s lawyers had argued that the jury pool was deluged with what the defense saw as “exceptionally prejudicial” news coverage of the case. The defense maintained that was a reason to hold off the case indefinitely.
Dumbass argument by Trump's lawyers (exceptionally prejudicial) considering most of the country is rooting for him regardless of his crimes against Democracy and the U.S. Constitution. wrbtrader
https://www.yahoo.com/news/eve-hush-money-trial-big-080523088.html On eve of hush money trial, big, bold Donald Trump shows he's nothing but a giant chicken Rex Huppke, USA TODAY Updated Sun, April 14, 2024 at 12:45 AM GMT+2·4 min read For a guy who fancies himself a tough alpha male – brimming with “I’m right and you’re wrong!” bluster like the cock of the walk – Donald Trump is, in reality, a giant chicken. Trump's first criminal trial is set to start Monday in New York City. If you struggle to keep track of the man’s multitudinous indictments, this is the one involving Stormy Daniels, the adult-film star he’s accused of paying off in advance of the 2016 presidential election to keep quiet about their alleged affair. He has referred to Daniels as “Horseface” and written on social media, “She knows nothing about me, a total con!” Last year, he referred to the case as “the Stormy ‘horseface’ Daniels extortion plot.” Trump has claimed – over and over and over again – that the case is part of a vast left-wing conspiracy against him, a “Witch-Hunt to destroy the Make America Great Again movement” and “Political Persecution and Election Interference at the highest level in history.” On eve of first criminal trial, Trump is all talk – as usual In a statement in March 2023, Trump name-checked Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and boasted: “So our Movement, and our Party – united and strong – will first defeat Alvin Bragg, and then we will defeat Joe Biden.” You’d think an abundantly confident macho man like Trump would be champing at the bit to get into a courtroom with his lawyers and prove the “Thugs and Radical Left Monsters” wrong, to pull back the curtain on this unjust persecution/prosecution, to shove the evidence of his angelic innocence right in their smug faces. You’d think. But Trump has been doing the opposite, trying everything possible to delay the trial. His lawyers filed three futile appeals just this week, all of which were shot down. He’s grousing that he can’t get a fair trial in Manhattan, that the judge slapped him with an unconstitutional gag order and that the judge has a conflict of interest because his daughter is a Democratic political consultant. Trump's abortion problem: Florida Supreme Court puts abortion on the ballot – and hands former president a serious problem At this rate I expect he’ll show up to court Monday in a WHAAAAAAAAmbulance then get carried in on a stretcher, moaning about how the deep state gave him typhoid fever. Donald Trump claims to be tough, but his fear of the Stormy Daniels trial says otherwise These are not the actions of a bold, confident man who knows he’s innocent and will fight to prove the naysayers wrong. That’s probably because Trump is not a bold, confident man who knows he’s innocent, and he doesn’t know how to “fight.” He just slings mud and runs away hollering: “I have never slung any mud! That is FAKE NEWS!” Republicans hate themselves: Nobody hates the GOP as much as Republicans hate the GOP. Just ask Marjorie Taylor Greene. As with every self-assigned description of Trump – a “great” president, a “brilliant” businessman, a “tough” guy – it’s all a mirage. It’s ineptitude, lunkheadedness and cowardice cloaked by flimsy branding. Trump as a fighter? LOL! The man never fights, he just runs away. When he lost the 2020 presidential election, his narcissism wouldn’t allow him to accept the results. So it became Vice President Mike Pence’s fault. It became a “rigged election.” And did Trump himself march into the halls of Congress to stop the transfer of power, bravely buoyed by facts he believed were in his favor? Nope. He dispatched the most gullible of his supporters, let them mob the U.S. Capitol and let them get locked up. If he loses again in November, he’ll do the same thing – talk a good fight, then send in the rubes. When the trial starts Monday, Trump will finally face accountability On Monday, barring a legal miracle, the man who thinks so highly of himself that he autographs Bibles will step into a courtroom and become the first former U.S. president to face a jury of his peers in a criminal trial. He is terrified of that moment. The narcissism at his core has never met accountability. If he had a lick of confidence, he wouldn’t be paying attorneys – probably with GOP donor money, not his own – to pull every whack-a-doodle legal trick they can muster to delay, delay, delay. He wouldn’t be spending hours online and at rallies griping and whining and woe-is-me-ing. He’d be ready, self-assured and eager to clear his name. He’d be tough. He’s not. Trump is a chicken. A frightened, clucking chicken who, as of Monday, will have no room left to run.

At this rate there won't be any ketchup left at Mar a Lago. Trump rages hush money trial 'cannot be allowed to go forward' 24 hours before court date https://www.rawstory.com/trump-2667769825/ Approximately 24 hours before he is expected to begin appearing in a Manhattan courtroom for weeks to face 34 felony counts that could land him in prison, Donald Trump launched a fresh attack on Judge Juan Merchan and demanded his court date be postponed. Again. Lawyers for the former president spent last week flooding the court docket with a flurry of filings asking for a postponement of the criminal trial that will take up his alleged hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election. After seeing his demands for more time or dismissal of all charges fail to persuade the judge, Trump took to his Truth Social platform to complain he and his legal team still have not had enough time to prepare for the case that was filed by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg over a year ago. As part of his Sunday social media post, the embattled former president, who is on a losing streak in New York courtrooms, insisted his latest trial "cannot be allowed to go forward," He wrote, "Judge Juan Merchan, perhaps the most highly conflicted Judge in New York State history, only gave us a short period of time to read and study hundreds of thousands of pages of documents that D.A. Alvin Bragg illegally hid, disguised, and held back from us. Of course, and as the Judge knows, we need far more time than that. They could have started this Fake Biden Trial many years ago, not right in the middle of my campaign for President, and time would not be a problem. This is a blatant and unprecedented attack on Crooked Joe Biden’s Political Opponent (who is leading in every poll!), done in close coordination with the White House, that cannot be allowed to go forward!" The former president recently stated in a fundraising email all "hell would break loose" on Monday.
Trump is having a temper tantrum the day before his first criminal trial...facing 34 felony counts ??? He still has 3 more criminal trials to get through while his co-defendants are taking plea deals to stay out of prison. #pathetic wrbtrader
Hilarious, Here are two of many jury selection questions to help eliminate biased jurors in today's jury selection are expected to last up to 2 weeks for the Hush Money Criminal Trial... Are you a member of Antifa, QAnon, BLM, Proud Boys, or White Supremacy groups ? Have you attended a Trump Rally? Yet, ET's Talking Heads believe these groups are not a problem in America and not influential in America or Politics. Former President Trump today's start of his criminal case and the pending three criminal trials is unprecedented and will expose the weakness in our judicial system and potentially our Supreme Court. I'm looking forward to hearing what Trump's loyalist Hope Hicks has to say. Also, former President Nixon (R) is probably rolling over in his grave in laughter because Trump was caught and now being tried in a criminal case that Nixon never was criminally tried because the current President Ford pardoned Nixon. wrbtrader
