Stormy Days And Mondays

Boy HOWDY, today is the day! Donald Trump's very own, very first criminal trial begins today in Manhattan. First comes the selection of the jury from a pool of 6,000 candidates. Jury candidates that is. However, before that officially begins, Donald Trump will have to answer for his behavior over the weekend, when once again, he apparently broke the expanded gag order Judge Merchan issued just two weeks ago. I have no idea what will happen. I know that any other defendant, who has as little personal restraint as Trump does, would already be behind bars. Threatening juries and witnesses tends to make judges a bit grumpy, but Trump seems to get away with a little more than most folks do. I have never quite figured out how, or why that is. Folks give up their reputations. Their families. Sometimes even their very freedom, such as the case with Allen Weissleberg. Trump's former CFO is back in Riker's Island. He is doing 5 additional months for perjury on behalf of Trump at Trump's civil fraud case. It's astounding. 

And I imagine even more jaw dropping events are to come. He posted to Truth Social, just this morning, that he wants the gag order dropped. Yeah, deliberately pushing the limits and then asking for favors isn't how it works. I can feel it... I am going to be posting all day, aren't I? It's official. Trump has arrived at the courthouse, and with that, history is made! The first criminal trial of a former American president is going to begin!

FINALLY!
