"I know the Trump trial is serious, and a once and future president could be criminally sentenced any day, but for irony and sheer absurdity, today was hard to top. the ghost of eighties past descended on the courthouse and got his freak on.
"forty years ago, wall street made new york the center of America's cultural universe. defiantly announcing the country was done apologizing for vietnam, watergate, the Church committee revelations, and other horrors, finance pirates like Ivan Boesky reaffirmed American capitalism with a generational mantra: 'greed is good'! "junk bonds falling like fairy dust turned a downtown of Cinderellas into paper princesses, and everyone in the city seemed on coke, on the make, and proud.
"no amount of money was too small to hustle. "spy magazine, the slick new ironic Bible of the greed era, helped make 'short-fingered vulgarian' Donald Trump a celebrity through a stunt that tagged him and Adnan Khashoggi as the only two out of 58 famous rich marks greedy enough to cash 13-cent checks:
"but spy in november 1988 also roasted Deer Hunter legend 'Bobby' De Niro, putting him as the top name on their list of 'unstoppables,' actors who "lose studios the kind of money normally associated with pentagon budgets under republican administrations' but somehow 'never go unemployed.' the mag said De Niro flicks were a whopping $89,308,673 in the red, making him the silver screen version of an over-leveraged real estate tycoon. "spy wrote it was 'nice Meryl Streep is still able to work,' but asked: 'why feed hollywood's living dead'?
"De Niro later joined Trump as a spy 100 'worst people' honoree, bashed as a burnt-out thespian doing the same old schtick. His and Trump's histories would stay weirdly intertwined. while Trump was thought of as an infamous hirer of scab construction labor, and garnered headlines as president when his administration tried to ban the unions' famed inflatable rat, Scabby, De Niro soon after joined the same club. a $600 million deal to build the gargantuan wildflower film studio in astoria earned a visit by Scabby on De Niro's 79th birthday in 2022 when he, too, chose non-union labor.
"today in downtown new york Trump and De Niro collided again, in a scene that will someday get its own wing in Madame Tussaud's wax a--holes museum:"
The movie title for his obscenity driven,diatribes would have to be,"Raging Bull--sh.t".

ReplyDeleteJURY BEGINS DELIBERATIONS IN FAKE "HUSH MONEY" TRIAL;TRUMP RESIGNED TO GUILTY VERDICT(S),"MOTHER TERESA COULDN'T BEAT THESE CHARGES."
ReplyDelete(CNN)Jury deliberations technically began at 11:37 a.m. rather than 11:28, when they walked out of the courtroom because Merchan called jurors 4 and 6 back in to learn how to use the laptop containing evidence related to the trial. The jury has been instructed to refrain from deliberating unless they're all present.
Donald Trump has posted more than 20 times on Truth Social since he left the courtroom, with each one quoting commentators or legal scholars making a statement that supports Trump or criticizes the case against him.
In another post, Trump said, "Mother Teresa could not beat these charges. These charges are rigged. The whole thing is rigged!"

FIRST DAY OF TRUMP JURY DELIBERATIONS ENDS WITH NO DECISION
ReplyDelete(CNN)The judge overseeing the hush money case against Donald Trump dismissed the jury on Wednesday afternoon after no verdict was reached on Day One of deliberations in the first criminal trial of a former U.S. president.
Deliberations started late in the morning after state Judge Juan Merchan delivered lengthy instructions to the 12-person jury. They deliberated for about 4 1/2 hours.
Court will reconvene in Thursday morning, when jurors will re-hear portions of testimony they requested to review as well as Merchan's jury instructions, which it took him about an hour to read on Wednesday. It was not immediately clear if the instructions will be read again in their entirety. The request for testimony and instructions came by way of notes from the jury on Wednesday.
