Fox actually has a fairly decent news department. Sadly, it's overshadowed by the stupidity of Fox's talking head shows. Not to mention, in order to see it, you have to be online, and it's not presented during prime time.
I'm not defending Fox. On the whole, they certainly have a lot to answer for. But, their actual news division gives one straight up news. Is it tinged with right wing sentiment? Maybe, but the few times I watched, I didn't detect any particular bias towards how conservatives feel about it.
The Baltimore Bridge collapse, and even Whatshisname's trial coverage by the news division has been pretty straight forward without commentary belying any unbiased reporting.
Back in 2008 when there was a Pakistani terrorist attack on the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel and neighboring buildings (I seem to remember the neighborhood had a large Jewish presence) in Mumbai, during the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday weekend? The only place you could find on-the-scene news coverage was Fox News—CNN didn't seem to have anybody there until Sunday, and MSNBC had shut down its news operation entirely in favor of an endless cycle of TO CATCH A PREDATOR reruns.
Their news division may be Right Wing by what it chooses to cover and not cover, but their reporters mainly just do their job.
Gee thank you for the plug for Fox News. Would you mind going over to Fox News and watching them instead of being here in this comment section? We would all appreciate it greatly.
Can you be any MORE of a one-sided, willfully-blind, self-righteous *putz* than you are now? I somehow doubt it....
I despise Fox News, and I desperately wish CNN and especially MSNBC would step up their news bureaus to compete. But if you don't realize why so many otherwise-normal people have it on 24/7, exposing themselves to the Right's propaganda machine, then you're as bad as Qween $Hillary the Corrupt, Smug and Entitled carrying on about "Baskets of Deplorables"...because that's absolutely the way to separate them from Donald Trump and his pet Republican Party!
If Bernie Sanders has the moral courage to go on Fox and beard the jackals in their den? Then that's good enough for me.
Do you own a GOOGLE Home [G.H.] device? Unbiased info will come if you ask about weather, a film summary, or how many syllables in vampire -- 2? 3? But ask G.H. for "news" & Murdoch Media is first up, i.e., "news" from N.Y. Post, Fox Snooze, etc. Thus Rupert Murdoch has slimed his way into your ear even if you don't buy his newspapers nor watch TV. After G.H. states "this is from N.Y. Post," I shout, "OK! Skip! Skip!" hoping to get Reuters news next or Associated Press news. However, by eliminating paywalls NYT & WSJ, etc. have put in place, Murdoch pumps his toxic sludge out there via G.H. (and probably other digital devices).
* * This is a reply to Mr. Sikora's question. Yes, you can be bombarded with Murdoch's disinformation campaign in many sneaky ways that you might not have considered. Even if you shout "OK! SKIP!"
To answer your question of how does one get there news from Fox? Anthony Sikora, the correct and only answer, of course is: Change the channel to a real News channel. Reason? Fox is an Opinion of the News channel. It takes discernment to comprehend the distinction between News and opinion of News. If a person doesn’t know the difference, they are easily, often manipulated. Exactly why Fox consumers are unaware of reality.
If someone tells everyone else that they are the smartest person, the richest person, the greatest person ever, what do they expect to happen when all of that is found to be untrue? He has to sit there and hear how people laugh at him and hate him. How people see right through his rotten core. Yes, that may be worse punishment for him than jail.
Everyone will be watching closely for witness tampering and jury intimidation. They will be watching from the International Space Station. Four days a week for 8 weeks? He may suffer spontaneous human combustion.
I’m really sick of his whining continuously. Don’t his followers notice that? Donald Trump is not a man. He’s a scumbag! I look at him and wonder if he has a brain!
Darlene, MAGA does not notice his walls are painted gold - and their walls are peeling. MAGA does not notice he owns upteen golf courses - and they are behind on their rent. MAGA does not notice he's always got his grifter's hand in their pocket - and they keep giving, buying the red hats, buying his Fruit Yokel merch, buying his NFTs. He's a charlatan, a grifter, a flim-flam man - with far less character than the average subway pickpocket.
That is the point! His brain IS deteriorating! He repeats himself, loses his train of thought, says “Oh boy!” when he does and tries to bully his way through, thinking noone noticed…..
Janine, I can't believe it either. I've lost sleep over this nightmare who's wearing orange pancake makeup and moving his hands like a fisherman who is exaggerating the size of a fish he caught.
Watching the news about Israel and Iran and that in 2018 trump canceled the Iranian nuclear deal. And because of that Iran had been able to make major gains in being able to make a nuclear bomb. Despite the sanctions biden had put on Iran its too late because Iran had already made major advances. It's reported by msnbc that Iran can make a bomb on a week.
This is directly related to that evil black hole donald trump and the mastermind putin
Because of that orange mf who has no soul we are already in ww3. In my opinion we have been in ww3 for quite sometime.
LindaAnn I hope a brick falls from the sky right in front of tbe court house right on his pumpkin head
An analogy of one of the most appropriate natural consequences to ever happen to an individual who lived a particularly hypocritical life was a man who once was an Ambassador to Great Britain, very wealthy, full of pride, brought down by a massive stroke. Left alive, drooling, confined to a wheelchair. Alert and aware of everything.
Helpless, an attendant pushed him everywhere, for this once overly proud braggart to witness the downfall of the political dynasty he built. One by one, he watched as
his heirs, he groomed to carry on his rumored to be mafia connected wealth, picked off, or foolishly destroyed by their folly, reprobate choices. One by one. Ultimately died a broken man, in body mind and spirit, as befits such a person: Tainted money passed on, a curse upon it, perhaps, of course for the next generation to attempt to redeem, maybe…
Similarities as history often seems to replay variations on themes: another family strives for, makes vast wealth reputedly dubiously, as well as for public relations and bragging purposes, legit businesses. Great pride, passed down, family tradition wealth multiplied, different Business, one common thing hiding just below the surface,
surprise, no surprise, another mafia connection, this time in the form of a tutor for junior. Avarice, a close relative of greed seems to have a magnetic attraction to dubious
methods of “attracting” income. Along with irresistible desires for political power, control and influence, this time, manifesting, peaking and rapidly declining in Jr, before our very eyes. From a hot shot, handsome ( if you go for the nouveau riche type show-off ), business guy - “make government work like a successful business” - To OOPs!
Turns out he’s been ‘cooking the books,” scamming, full of BS, lyin’ a lotta % of the time and/ or having his accountant do ‘em. “Braggadocio Donny” could be one of his many monikers. Look at him now: Fat, Aging, slumped over his Defense Attorney’s Court Room Table. His face a blotched, pocked, bloated orange, with big, baggy bright pink pouches under barely open eye slits. Given to drooping to sleep, head bobbing, to slumped sagging chest, nearly drooling.
Saved only by bang, bang of the Judges gavel - jerking him back to attention. His worst nightmare-Gotcha! Yup, he Got Caught for doin’ what he’d been told would Get him, Criminal Fraud, they told him, over and over but he refused to hear it, ‘cause he was smarter, sharper, knew better, Roy Cohn THE Mafia lawyer taught him, so he’d NEVER, Ever, it’ll happen…… WAKE UP DJT- that guy’s Dead and GONE and YOU ARE A GONER, CAUSE YOU DID IT!
I live on a fixed income and on inhalers that just increased in price or I’d be a paid subscriber in a heartbeat. I love your writing style (authentic and truth driven) and like myself, have family I don’t hesitate to tell the truth about rather than cover or sugarcoat them. I admire that quality in people so you’re a favorite of mine as a kindred spirit. I watch his videos, more like memes, as clown entertainment, wondering at the same time, who in their right mind, could believe or vote for that idiot?
All inhalers are lowering their prices to $35.00 except if on Medicare. Some start on June 1, the one company not complying with June 1, says it’ll be done before Jan 2025. I get mine from Canada for two years now so directly from manufacturing overseas.
Yes, and they did it because congress started to pressure them also, along with a bill from the senate from Bernie sanders and another senator so rather than be pulled in front of them again or forced to lower the costs, they voluntarily did it, in a sense, to avoid the misery. Medicare isn’t included in the cost cap because it has the power to negotiate on its own now. I still buy my inhalers from Canada because I was in the donut hole every October because of the retail price being charges to my drug plan.
You still find some interesting long documents, but their treatment of Joe Biden is dire and in comparison, their devotion to reporting constantly on Trump is as dire, to not use a stronger word. It is definitely under the leash of their owners.
I did an online query that says the net worth of the New York Times is 7.17 billion dollars. Might someone start a fundraiser to buy out the Ochs-Sulzberger family and other stockholders, and create a non-profit newspaper without corrupting influences? Donors should be members, not shareholders, so votes regarding management would be one per member, not one per dollar. Democracy in operation should be an effective shield against corruption. Hopefully, some wealthy idealists might make major donations despite that management rule.
The IRS has a website regarding charitable donations. The second group of qualifying organizations is defined as:
"A community chest, corporation, trust, fund, or foundation, organized or created in the United States or its possessions, or under the laws of the United States, any state, the District of Columbia or any possession of the United States, and organized and operated exclusively for charitable, religious, educational, scientific, or literary purposes, or for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals;"
The proposed organization seems to clearly qualify: "operated exclusively for charitable, religious, educational, scientific, or literary purposes" This should make very substantial donations from wealthy donors practical. (This idea might be applied to buy out other problematic corporations as well.)
I have some concerns about the jurors being identified. Trump’s followers have shown us how violent they are and it is to be hoped that these people will be protected.
Adding in info from other sources and running through artificial intelligence engines could eventually reveal identities. Maybe not today, but the Internet is forever.
@ Dancing Fox about the jurors’ identities being revealed is precisely what I was thinking; and It really concerns me because he’s a gang leader thug, a political mafia boss, a
blue print with illusions of grandeur…
The list of violence is endlessly mind numbing isn’t it?
I do too. I know someone who can build a backstory on someone just because she wants to know, all from her cellphone. And God help you if she takes a dislike to you or your looks or whatever. She’s diabolical and has destroyed a few lives and skipped away for her next victim each time. Someone told me years ago that her mother had been the same way.
For me, the best part of this so far, is the knowledge that he’s going to have to sit there for 8 weeks, and just take it. He’s going to have to eat that same shit sandwich he has fed to all Americans these past 8 years.
I bet she could smell him from there. That is probably another reason Judge Merchan wants him to stay away from the jurors. They could get brain damage from his noxious ass fumes lol💩💩💨💨☠️☠️🤣🤣
Mary, you bring a psychological perspective that is enlightening. Also a great understanding of how Trump’s mind is working. I am proud to be a paid subscriber
Thanks for the backgrounds of the jurors; it’s very helpful as we all continue to read the daily chatter. I think Trump should be reminded that he’s the “first” former President to be indicted. And he has a chance to be the first former President to be convicted. That alone should spur him onto further ridiculousness in the courtroom setting. One can only hope!
Sanctimony? Trump had it coming and it’s sad that his Republican brethren are so fearful of him that they passed on indicting him. He may skate past a guilty verdict in court, but in the court of public opinion he’ll be properly skewered.
Clearly, as Mary implies, this trial is going to be extremely stressful for Donald. I don't know if this has been posted here yet, but John Gartner, the eminent founder of Duty to Warn, a group of mental health professionals who have been raising the alarm about Trump’s increasingly sociopathic behavior, is now saying that Donald is heading fast down the road toward dementia.
Because if the orange shit gibbon get back in office those newspapers will be closed! He will get rid of all but his choice which will probably be FOX Looney Tunes. Read Project 2025 for his delusional propaganda.
Some of the jurors get their news from Facebook and Tik Tok? Not that today's journalists give us much unbiased reporting lately, but omg. No wonder so many voters are misinformed.
Deborah, agreed. Only one said they got their news from WaPo. Much better news than NYT and every other news outlet listed. But… with that said the WH has recognized that young people get their news from social media including TikTok. And that is why they have a presence there. Remember when the Daily Show was where young people got their news from?
Agreed, Kathi. Actually, I get my news (about half of it) on WaPo. NYT has definitely gone to the right, pretending to be bipartisan. I know younger people get their news from Tik Tok, and I think it’s sad. I’m sure there are some knowledgeable people on TT, but what are their sources? Sigh.
I read his sleepiness is him coming down from his drug use at night (which makes his executive time in the WH suspect) as well as his worsening dementia.
I don't care why he dozes in court. It is not acceptable nor proper decorum. But he always gets away with everything that's unacceptable. Has bought his way out of every adverse situation and will continue sleeping through this one.
Per opening comment. Yes! Blessed relief is the main emotion for me this week. The very idea and to see him sitting there facing the reality of accountability by way of a jury of his peers is very healing ❤️🩹 for all of us.
It seems like there are really two worlds for Donald: one that he stage manages ruthlessly, with a powerful sense of control over truth and unreality, and the other the courtroom, where these conditions inevitably disappear. The stage manager is now a judge, and claims of truth cannot be sealed with the wave of a hand.
Orange spray tan, on rough pitted skin, highlighted by harsh Courtroom lighting , clashing with giant size bright pink under eye bags is Not flattering. It adds 30 plus years to Dumpy Don’s appearance, and has the pathetic effect of making him looking like a sad sack circus clown. If he actually has any funds, it’s shocking he hasn’t paid for an image consultant. Unless he thinks looking ridiculous helps his case with fan club.
Mary, I have to comment on Donald's falling asleep in the courtroom: based on what my life is like, I can sort of understand it. I have chronic fatigue, and coughing asthma that take a lot out of me, and I find myself falling asleep while watching good news programs. I don't think Donald has a good excuse like that; it's just that for me, falling asleep in the middle of something is very familiar. I would imagine that boredom plus disdain could accomplish the same thing. It's also a way to escape from a place where he doesn't want to be.
Hillary Clinton’s most lasting contribution to political advertising, her famous 2008 spot that depicted children sleeping soundly in their beds late at night with a voiceover saying that, at that moment, “something is happening in the world.” “Your vote will decide who answers that call,” the stentorian voice intones.
If Donald can't stay awake at 3pm how can he be awake and alert at 3am when a crisis might occur?
On another Substack it was pointed out that contributing factor could be that he is not getting enough caffeine from all the Diet Cokes that he drinks. No drink or food in the court room. One more restriction that is put upon him.
He likes to stay up in the middle of the night on social media (as many people do these days). This is probably a major reason why he's crashing during the trial. The older people get, the shorter their sleep tends to be at night & greater their tendency to nod off during the daytime.
I'm a bit older than Trump, and I crash during the day even when I sleep well at night (which I usually do). I am not at social media at all, so fortunately that is not something that would make me crash during the day.
How does someone get their News from Fox ?
It really should be illegal to have a station like Fox. They are like the person in the movie theater that keeps yelling Fire!!!
Considering the speculation on his suspected state of medication, if “doses off” is a typo; best ever.
Is “doses over” a thing?
Was in the 60s.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fox actually has a fairly decent news department. Sadly, it's overshadowed by the stupidity of Fox's talking head shows. Not to mention, in order to see it, you have to be online, and it's not presented during prime time.
I'm not defending Fox. On the whole, they certainly have a lot to answer for. But, their actual news division gives one straight up news. Is it tinged with right wing sentiment? Maybe, but the few times I watched, I didn't detect any particular bias towards how conservatives feel about it.
The Baltimore Bridge collapse, and even Whatshisname's trial coverage by the news division has been pretty straight forward without commentary belying any unbiased reporting.
Thanks for the info. I, however, will still pass.
I don't blame you, but DonP's right, sadly.
Back in 2008 when there was a Pakistani terrorist attack on the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel and neighboring buildings (I seem to remember the neighborhood had a large Jewish presence) in Mumbai, during the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday weekend? The only place you could find on-the-scene news coverage was Fox News—CNN didn't seem to have anybody there until Sunday, and MSNBC had shut down its news operation entirely in favor of an endless cycle of TO CATCH A PREDATOR reruns.

Some droll commenter said that Fox News is to news as a urinal cake is to cake.
This cracked me up!
i believe him and my own ears!
Fox News is entertainment for the Lib haters.
Time go go back and watch Nicole Kidman and the star studded cast in Bombshell.
Will take a permanent pass.
Also their polls are among the more reliable surveys.
Some of their news reporters display integrity & balanced reporting, but certainly not all of them.
LOL!

By:
1. Already being a conservative Republican Trumpetoon
2. Having a few domestic beers first
3. Yelling at their kids for being "libtards"
4. Taking their medicine for the medical condition that prevents them from marching on the US Capitol
After that...and watching PrisonPlanet or OAN as well, they call their girlfriend, "Nut Gobbler," and spend the WHOLE hour with her.
Lucky for "Nut Gobbler" that her client is too old to do very much any more...his flag is limp.
Nothing “conservative” about being constipated of thought process. What a misnomer.
Yeah, but you conserve trips to the men's room...

FOX is a Donald Trump station, they will let don tell all the lies he wants on the air. If you remember, they were sued for tuckers lies for don.

I say we deserve him to be and jail and to NEVER HEAR HIS VOICE EVER AGAIN!
The Inquisition used to burn holes through a liars toungues.
Fine except he’d have no tongue remaining….which might actually be a relief from having to be exposed to his nasty bloviating lies.
After Adolf Hitler died, other dictators took his place.
After SHITLER dies, I'll bet Vivek R. will be first in line to take his place.
But, yes, wouldn't it be loverly never to hear that voice, those lies, and all his begging for $$ again? Sure. (Sigh.)
I’m really sick of his whining continuously. Don’t his followers notice that? Donald Trump is not a man. He’s a scumbag! I look at him and wonder if he has a brain!

Actually he's masturbating Putin and his friend.
Very likely. And here he is - - the GOP's top creampuff, just oozing with you-know-what.
LindaAnn you hit it right on the head.
This keeps me up at night too. Many nights like you.
I have never ever felt such true fear over the future of our country.
Especially that the GOP is outrightly betraying all of us by their sick fealty to the orange sociopath and supporting Putin who is pure evil.
Vote, Janine. Vote! Vote like our lives depend on it -- because it is the truth.

The Rise and Fall of Desperate Fakers:
An analogy of one of the most appropriate natural consequences to ever happen to an individual who lived a particularly hypocritical life was a man who once was an Ambassador to Great Britain, very wealthy, full of pride, brought down by a massive stroke. Left alive, drooling, confined to a wheelchair. Alert and aware of everything.
Helpless, an attendant pushed him everywhere, for this once overly proud braggart to witness the downfall of the political dynasty he built. One by one, he watched as

Try mail order pharmacy...CVS, through your insurance company. My health insurance carrier set me up. Less expensive.

It’s too bad many of the jurors read NYT. It’s really gone downhill.
They are reading their hometown paper. I don't think the NYTimes is the paper of record anymore.

Oh yes. It absolutely has I canceled them in February.
What a let down
I also cancelled a while ago, I cannot believe the reporting anymore
Yes, it has and I canceled my subscription to that over-priced trash heap.
I have some concerns about the jurors being identified. Trump’s followers have shown us how violent they are and it is to be hoped that these people will be protected.

I do too. I know someone who can build a backstory on someone just because she wants to know, all from her cellphone. And God help you if she takes a dislike to you or your looks or whatever. She’s diabolical and has destroyed a few lives and skipped away for her next victim each time. Someone told me years ago that her mother had been the same way.
For me, the best part of this so far, is the knowledge that he’s going to have to sit there for 8 weeks, and just take it. He’s going to have to eat that same shit sandwich he has fed to all Americans these past 8 years.
Great that Rip Van Stinkle is finally getting a big dose of all the crap he shoveled and he has no escape at the moment.
Hopefully, the no escape will become more permanent.
Yes!!!!!
Norm, we have been eating his shit so long. I can’t wait for him to get his belly full.
And then his MAGA moron supporters can eat their share, too.
Ha ha. Maga feed. Pay big bucks for it.
'12 feet from your client'
Treat the orange degenerate like the rabid dog he is!
I bet she could smell him from there. That is probably another reason Judge Merchan wants him to stay away from the jurors. They could get brain damage from his noxious ass fumes lol💩💩💨💨☠️☠️🤣🤣
Well, apparently he does SMELL
Mary, you bring a psychological perspective that is enlightening. Also a great understanding of how Trump’s mind is working. I am proud to be a paid subscriber
Thanks for the backgrounds of the jurors; it’s very helpful as we all continue to read the daily chatter. I think Trump should be reminded that he’s the “first” former President to be indicted. And he has a chance to be the first former President to be convicted. That alone should spur him onto further ridiculousness in the courtroom setting. One can only hope!
Sanctimony? Trump had it coming and it’s sad that his Republican brethren are so fearful of him that they passed on indicting him. He may skate past a guilty verdict in court, but in the court of public opinion he’ll be properly skewered.
Whoever you are? You can go away now.
I already blocked this troll.
Clearly, as Mary implies, this trial is going to be extremely stressful for Donald. I don't know if this has been posted here yet, but John Gartner, the eminent founder of Duty to Warn, a group of mental health professionals who have been raising the alarm about Trump’s increasingly sociopathic behavior, is now saying that Donald is heading fast down the road toward dementia.

that is a great piece
It certainly is!
Wow, I love the way he’s broken his reasoning down into cognitive areas as he explains each one. But why isn’t the media focused on this?
That's a damn good question.
Because if the orange shit gibbon get back in office those newspapers will be closed! He will get rid of all but his choice which will probably be FOX Looney Tunes. Read Project 2025 for his delusional propaganda.
Some of the jurors get their news from Facebook and Tik Tok? Not that today's journalists give us much unbiased reporting lately, but omg. No wonder so many voters are misinformed.
Deborah, agreed. Only one said they got their news from WaPo. Much better news than NYT and every other news outlet listed. But… with that said the WH has recognized that young people get their news from social media including TikTok. And that is why they have a presence there. Remember when the Daily Show was where young people got their news from?
Agreed, Kathi. Actually, I get my news (about half of it) on WaPo. NYT has definitely gone to the right, pretending to be bipartisan. I know younger people get their news from Tik Tok, and I think it’s sad. I’m sure there are some knowledgeable people on TT, but what are their sources? Sigh.
Only 1 said MSNBC as their news source. So disappointed
https://www.youtube.com/live/LOOvw8xgICg?si=IjULHtPie6PRkl-g This is a great daily news report on the trial.
FWIW, I get MY news from HCR.
I read his sleepiness is him coming down from his drug use at night (which makes his executive time in the WH suspect) as well as his worsening dementia.
I don't care why he dozes in court. It is not acceptable nor proper decorum. But he always gets away with everything that's unacceptable. Has bought his way out of every adverse situation and will continue sleeping through this one.
He's certainly not well and is looking very haggard.
Just as likely caffeine withdrawal also from lack of daily 12 diet cokes ( poisonous in and of itself- the fake sugar destroys innards.)
Per opening comment. Yes! Blessed relief is the main emotion for me this week. The very idea and to see him sitting there facing the reality of accountability by way of a jury of his peers is very healing ❤️🩹 for all of us.
It seems like there are really two worlds for Donald: one that he stage manages ruthlessly, with a powerful sense of control over truth and unreality, and the other the courtroom, where these conditions inevitably disappear. The stage manager is now a judge, and claims of truth cannot be sealed with the wave of a hand.
This is his real life “Candid Camera” program!
Yes. He still gets to wear the foundation though.
Yeah, I’ve commented before that if he ends up in the pokey he won’t have his bronzer OR hairspray!!!!! Now that would make a good poster!
Orange spray tan, on rough pitted skin, highlighted by harsh Courtroom lighting , clashing with giant size bright pink under eye bags is Not flattering. It adds 30 plus years to Dumpy Don’s appearance, and has the pathetic effect of making him looking like a sad sack circus clown. If he actually has any funds, it’s shocking he hasn’t paid for an image consultant. Unless he thinks looking ridiculous helps his case with fan club.
Mary, I have to comment on Donald's falling asleep in the courtroom: based on what my life is like, I can sort of understand it. I have chronic fatigue, and coughing asthma that take a lot out of me, and I find myself falling asleep while watching good news programs. I don't think Donald has a good excuse like that; it's just that for me, falling asleep in the middle of something is very familiar. I would imagine that boredom plus disdain could accomplish the same thing. It's also a way to escape from a place where he doesn't want to be.
Hillary Clinton’s most lasting contribution to political advertising, her famous 2008 spot that depicted children sleeping soundly in their beds late at night with a voiceover saying that, at that moment, “something is happening in the world.” “Your vote will decide who answers that call,” the stentorian voice intones.
If Donald can't stay awake at 3pm how can he be awake and alert at 3am when a crisis might occur?
I understand that Trump is often awake at 3AM, raging on his Truth Social platform.
Katie Rogers writes in "American Woman" that Orange gets around 5 hrs of sleep.
Tack on at least 4-5 Big Macs...4-5 diet Cokes and a bucket of KFC.........
"Sleepy Donny"........LOL loser!!!!
On another Substack it was pointed out that contributing factor could be that he is not getting enough caffeine from all the Diet Cokes that he drinks. No drink or food in the court room. One more restriction that is put upon him.
Wish I could find an emoji for crocodile tears… or the world's smallest violin.
Follow Jeff Tiedrich. He pulls out a tiny violin image all the time to describe how much sympathy he feels for Donald. He’s R rated but hilarious.

And some music to go along with it. https://youtu.be/XdofmoYcJNE
Thank you, Michael!!
Is there a way to download that emoji?
It is a single unicode character. Selected it and cut and paste it somewhere.
Thank you. I'll do that. I've been using computers since 1992 but I really know nothing about coding.
We cannot accept this behavior in a Presidential Candidate
He likes to stay up in the middle of the night on social media (as many people do these days). This is probably a major reason why he's crashing during the trial. The older people get, the shorter their sleep tends to be at night & greater their tendency to nod off during the daytime.
I'm a bit older than Trump, and I crash during the day even when I sleep well at night (which I usually do). I am not at social media at all, so fortunately that is not something that would make me crash during the day.
Susan you are not an insurrectionist traitorous lying ex president who is a danger to the free world!!!
You are a law abiding American citizen who has health issues!
Your words are kind and compassionate which is something the malignant pizza face doesn't have a shred of.
I appreciate your words!
Thank you, Janine!
