EL-OH-EL at the non-union workers holding "Union Workers for Trump" signs behind him, along with a couple people who aren't even employees of the facility being mixed in.

Interesting thoughts on the MAGA Cult and their large, hybrid compound (RW fringe Internet + church + other conservative social groups/clubs). And how that same advantage also makes it a little easier to gradually peel off and deprogram some of them, even if they don't necessarily make a big public show of renouncing their support and groveling for forgiveness.

Not sure I agree with all of it, but I definitely concur that 2024 is a crucial election. If we can put them down hard at the polls and get their corrupt-as-fck leader and his associates behind bars on very legitimate charges that go far beyond mere "process crime", we will have passed the turning point of the MAGA Cult being a serious threat. The current GOP feels like the Second KKK/Indiana Klan in about 1925. The more you expose their leaders as corrupt hypocrites who conned them, the more the rank-and-file quit showing up to rallies, throw out the robes/hats, and quietly slink away in shame.
 
I'll read the article today, but I agree that the only way to "defeat" Trumpism and the MAGA cult is to beat them, soundly, in the polls over and over again. It will take several cycles to do so, but I remain optimistic that it will happen. 2016 was a shocker. Covid was a slap in the face. Roe's overturn was a second slap in the face. So long as people with even a little bit of critical thinking ability keep the pressure on just how evil and corrupt Trump is personally as well as how out of step with modern life the rest of the cult is, I think ultimately liberty - actual liberty, not the "freedom to restrict your freedom" bullshit - will win out.
 
What will ultimate stop Dumpism is a strong Left. Not even so much by moving the country back towards democracy, though that will help, but because when corporations and the rich realize we might actually have a chance of restoring democratic fiscal policies, they will drive the MAGAts out of the GOP and recolonize it.

The derps were only permitted to get this much power within the Republican structure because the donor class has the Democrats on a leash too, so even when the GOP loses they still retain their stranglehold on the economy. A vibrant, powerful, confident, aggressive, successful Left will put the fear of god back into the Plutes.

Oh man. Trump isn't getting a jury trial in the NY civil case because "nobody asked for a jury", per the judge.


The best lawyers money can buy.

They probably figured a NYC jury was not a good option, and jury findings are more difficult to appeal than judicial ones, though courts of appeal usually lay off a trial judge's findings regarding witness credibility and other aspects of witness testimony.

Plus, if they simply didn't ask it's tough to appeal the decision to honor the (lack of) request.
 
Following some Twitter reporters in the court room, it's going very badly for Alina Habba. She referred to opening statements as "testimony" (which they are absolutely not and any lawyer who's ever been in a courtroom should know this) repeatedly and the judge corrects her each time. Apparently she keeps bringing up previously-decided issues as well.

Look, he's going to lose this case and what happens after is anyone's guess. But if Habba has any interest in actually being a lawyer after all of this, she's doing a bad job at that.

One of the better trial lawyers I tried cases with specifically stated to the jury during his own opening that opening statement is not evidence. It was his way of showing candor and building trust with the jury. "Don't just believe me because of what I say; look at the evidence that comes in through the witness stand."
