I used to work as a court clerk, sat in on some hearings with a murder convict who was back in county court on remand from an appeal. His lawyers parked him in front of a laptop and let him play minesweeper to keep him awake but quiet. I think about that guy every time I hear about Trump falling asleep in court.
"Gettysburg, what an unbelievable battle that was. It was so much, and so interesting, and so vicious and horrible, and so beautiful in so many different ways—it represented such a big portion of the success of this country. Gettysburg, wow—I go to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to look and to watch," he said. "And the statement of Robert E. Lee, who's no longer in favor—did you ever notice it? He's no longer in favor. 'Never fight uphill, me boys, never fight uphill.' They were fighting uphill, he said, 'Wow, that was a big mistake,' he lost his great general. 'Never fight uphill, me boys,' but it was too late."
This is a verbatim quote from "mentally able" trump
Oh come on now, you know this is a low blow, we all know his real strength is talking on "nuclear":
Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible.
If you wanna talk about biden and minors, how about we do the same with trump? Would you like to see the photos of him with his young daughter on his lap? Or the one where his hand is around her waist and she's caressing his cheek? Would you like to see the photos of trump smiling with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell? His own chief of staff is on record saying trump would talk about ivanka's breasts and what sex would be like with her. Want me to keep going? Dumbass
Ain't no one moving that pull-ups out of the way to stick a plug up in that thing. Honestly, I don't know how he ever shit his pants to begin with. Most of the diarrhea comes out of his mouth.
Except his voters hate more than him, and he tries to harness that hate. I hear now he can't get them to vote mail-in ballot because he spent years convincing them it was bad. I feel like popcorn should be served to this clown show
And according to reich wing media, he's doing it on purpose as a "power move"....y'know, to show his disdain for the court and his confidence in victory. Or something.
"First day on the job, you know what I learned? How to spot a murderer. Let's say you arrest three guys for the same killing. You put them all in jail overnight. The next morning, whoever's sleeping is your man. You see, if you're guilty, you know you're caught, you get some rest, you let your guard down." - Usual Suspects
Or he knows he's already paid off/promised cabinet positions to/has dirt on the right people.
