New York Minutes

 
 May 28th 2024
Outside the courthouse in Manhattan
(Trump trial)
 
 
"He doesn't belong to my city."

~Robert De Niro

I'm tired. But it's almost over. Tomorrow it will handed over to the jury, following the instructions. Did I mention I am tired? Well, I am, so I am pretty much going to make this post all about the pictures from today, beginning with the surprise appearance of Robert De Niro, along with former capitol police officer Harry Dunn, and former police officer Michael Fanone. Honestly, I couldn't love De Niro more for showing up! Unfortunatley it did devolve into Trump surrogates bashing him. De Niro can take it, and he spoke the truth, and that felt good to watch! Truth made an appearance.
 
Anyway... here is what today was like... in pictures.
 
 "Donald Trump doesn’t belong in my city. We New Yorkers used to tolerate him when he was just another grubby real estate hustler masquerading as a big shot. A two-bit playboy lying his way into the tabloids. He’s a clown. But this person can’t run the country. That does not work, and we all know that."

Bread Machines And The End Of The World


 
 
And then...
 

 
Hey, truth be told, some days with Cheeto Jesus can be a not stop laugh fest! But that's the ultimate cruelty, isn't it? When he was president, one minute you, and by you I mean me, would be laughing my ass off at something incredibly stupid he would say or do, the next I would find myself under my desk hoping the nuclear bomb wouldn't hit me directly. Good lord the week ahead is going to be stressful, but I have a plan to combat that. I have brought out the big guns, my bread machine! That appliance saw me threw some deep stress, and I know it will again this week. I am making Butter rolls tonight, and I have some great ideas for tomorrow and the rest of the week. Treats to make me feel safe and a little more in touch with reality. Because I can't see where we will all be in a week. Will we be safe in our homes, or will we be fighting WWIII?
 
These are such sad and frightening times.
