He also called the judge a “bully” and implied that imposing rules, including evidentiary regulations and courtroom behavior, on Trump and his attorneys was evidence of bias.
a bully? amazing how this fascist strongman can be such an absolute bitch all the time too.
They all are. It's a thing for them.
Conservatives are the biggest snowflakes, afraid of everything. They are like those little yappy dogs that bark at everything
For fascism to work, the other must be simultaneously weak and strong.
Losers do loser things - way to go, Pumpkin Tits!
The whole gag to fascism is that it is 100% projection at all times, both internally and externally.
They attack people because they're afraid to get attacked and they can't imagine a situation where everyone isn't thinking exactly like them, so of course it's only a matter of time before they're attacked...and thus must attack.
It's circular and deeply uncreative, but it is the root of every bully, from the playground to the autocratic despot.
And deep down, he knows this to his core. “Bully” implies a victim who cannot protect themselves (and is therefore ‘weak’ to authoritarians), while the bully has all the strength and power.
Donald could have chosen from a number of non-SAT words his followers can digest easily, that wouldn’t betray his actual self image. Challenger. Punk. Hater. Obsessed. Crooked. Hell , even calling him a Democrat plant/operative/etc would have played better
Donald Trump does not like to lose
You'd think he'd be used to it by now.
I was assured multiple times on Lemmy that Habba wasn't stupid and that she was doing Trump's bidding in a crafty way.
Apparently she's just stupid.
Anyone that defends him is stupid. Not only is he guilty as hell he won't shut the fuck up and follow his councils advise. I mean, a paid gig is a paid gig, when your client actually pays you, but there's no way you'll leave his service with a better rep than when you started.
Good job or bad, Trump will find a way to not pay you for doing it. Of this, there is no more golden rule.
Remember, even a C student can get a law degree.
I recently heard another one that gave me a chuckle:
What do you call the lowest of the lowest performing graduate at law school? A lawyer....
Same goes for this one, and quite possibly scarier:
What do you call the lowest of the lowest performing graduate at medical school?
A doctor....
And everyone who didn't pass?
Chiropractor.
Fun fact that works for both.
I wonder if she'll be smart enough to sue Trump for her legal fees. I doubt she remembered to ask for payment up front.

I'm assuming every other lawyer at this point declines on ethical grounds or those that don't have any scruples say "You have a history of not paying lawyers so I'll need cash up front to represent you" and Trump keeps on looking. Removing those groups and you get Habba as your lawyer.
She was still doing his bidding. He bidding was just also stupid, and his narcissism would not let him see that
Expect her to complain about pay in two weeks. Trump will hire a"better lawyer" and the appeal will go wonderfully. He will tank it just like all of his cases. In the past he would get away with stuff but do to the publicity he is finally getting punished.
Maybe Giuliani is free?
In both that he's not busy and will work for exposure.
Legal exposure, of course.
I believe Rudy is also suing him for not paying his legal fees, so that door's been shut - maybe he'll have another press conference in front of a lawn care store to sweat about it.
A lawn care store carefully placed between a sex shop and a crematorium
He's still free for a little while longer, but he's been disbarred.
Has that gone through? I'm not seeing anything past being recommended to be disbarred.
Please please please go back to Giuliani I beg you
Now she can stop pretending to be smart & pretend to be employable instead.
She is one of the beautiful people, but pretty don't win lawsuits. Trump didn't know that. Trump is dumb and ugly, and has smalls hands.
Don’t forget to add that he’s a loser
She's definitely employable by OAN and NewsMax. Fox, also, if she bleaches her hair.
Did the payday deadline just pass?
He doesn't seem to understand that he's on a race to the bottom for lawyers.
The ones who could (potentially) win the case, will never take it. The ones who will take the case have no hope of winning it.
LOL did they dial up the orange on that photo?
Because I didn't think he could go anymore Oompa Loompa, but damn.
Does (sic) stand for "spelling is crappy"?
(sic) is the abbreviation for the Latin phrase "sic erat scriptum" or "thus was it written".
It's used when quoting someone who made an error and you are quoting them verbatim. It's to let you're audience know that YOU know better, but the quoted source does not.
Example:
"It's to let you're (sic) audience know that YOU know better."
Thank you for this. Always wondered about this but never asked.
IDK what it stands for, but it's used where theres a mistake in a quote. It's the journalist saying "yes I know that's wrong but that's what the person reallg wrote".
I've heard that if you're nice to a journalist they'll tidy up minor issues like that, but if they don't like you they'll leave it incorrect and give you a [sic]
yes I know that’s wrong but that’s what the person reallg (sic) wrote
like that? ;)
It's short for "sic erat scriptum" which is Latin for "thus it was written"
Two funny questions: will she sue him for back pay?, and can he really afford new lawyer now?
His only strategy is to string this out on appeals and I guess ineffective counsel is one appeal? Not sure if that’s allowed in this type of case of if you’re the person who had possibly the most lawyers of all time.
No appeals based on incompetent/ineffective counsel for a civil case. In a criminal case, a convicted defendant may appeal on the grounds of ineffectiveness of counsel at trial. This principal arises because of the constitutional right to be represented by counsel. Such a right would be meaningless unless it implies a right to effective counsel. There is no such constitutional right to counsel in a civil case, and therefore no such ground for appeal in a civil case.
He doesn't like to lose because he doesn't have the maturity to admit when he's lost. The only thing he'll probably admit to losing is when he faces the reaper that'll drag his fat ass to a spot in hell.
