I love your snark, Jay. Don Snoreleone, Kari Lake (Q-Pluto) and MyPillow.... so creative! Your writing is always informative as well as entertaining. I'm looking forward to more trial reporting.
Regarding Fox News' failure to mention Trump's naps, I thought I'd mention that I got my brother, a life-long Republican, to stop watching Fox News years ago when I told him I'd read about a university study that found Fox News viewers knew less about current events than people who never watched any news at all. He voted a straight Democratic ticket in the last two elections. In Texas.
We should never, and I mean NEVER stop talking about how he fell asleep. I know he has no shame or embarrassment, but he is obsessed with his image. The trials, the fraud, the porn star, none of that matters. But maybe, just maybe, if he's exposed as a tired, very elderly man who can't stay awake for a full day without a few naps...because you know he's going to fall asleep a few more times before this is over. Jump on each and every time. (Also, Don Snoreleone is the best nickname yet!)
Jay, thanks for this summary. Is there a possibility that Judge Merchan will order a competency evaluation for Trump? Wouldn't the court want to assess Trump's behavior, jumbled speech, dozing in court, lies, and other apparent signs of dementia, as reported and filmed, and as you noted last week in your interview w/ Dr. Gartner.
I think he's drugged. I think his team drugged him to prevent him from freaking out, mouthing off, and threatening people in open court and getting jailed for it. He's stoned.
The Drumpf family, no doubt, knows about Diapered Don’s violent temper and wanted to stay away. And what if he soiled his pants for all to smell? Then, even Melania wasn’t about to sit through a reenactment of her philandering, dirtbag spouse. Nor would she have Barron sit through the humiliation. They are probably relieved the bastard won’t be attending Barron’s graduation. . . MAGAts put up with a lot of deserved humiliation, but this reality-check would be a step too far. The Defense, undoubtedly, advised sedation to keep tRump out of jail or—worse—face a psychiatric evaluation for competency to stand trial.
My guess is that his handlers drugged him to keep him quiet and compliant, and the dosage was just a bit too high. I suspect they will dial it back today.
Lawrence O’Donnell made a good point last night! The press corps should NOT be immediately outside the courthouse for Don’s false rebuttal of each day’s proceedings!
Can’t that be moved off site & further away? - maybe for security reasons?

Chef’s Kiss for the MyPillow ending. 😝
Here's a few more.
Benedict Yawnold.
Al Napone.
Bernie Nodoff.
Yawn Wilkes Booth.
It would be really weird for Melania to show up in support, since she was busy birthing a child while Trump was playing with Stormy.
Maybe she can show up in her "I don't care" coat.
I remember when my wife gave birth to my son. Because I was there, not hustling porn stars.
Kind of genius writing. "Matriculation into felonyhood" and can't even "fix" his makeup made me laugh aloud. Last line [chef's kiss]. :)

Kari Lake (Q-Pluto). Priceless!!

I won’t be surprised if after a couple of weeks Trump has a medical event, real or imagined, to make a case for an indefinite adjournment.
Don Snoreleone - thanks for a good laugh Jay!
I like the shade at Lindell. I guess judging by Drumpf's lack of sleep those pillows are shit.
Wondering if they could have drugged him so he didn't say anything. I was going to write "say anything stupid" but then realized that was redundant
