Trump DEAD ASLEEP in court, head hanging back
In a recent courtroom session in New York City, Donald Trump was observed falling asleep, prompting discussions about how seriously he’s taking his New York hush money trial. Molly Crane Neuman, a Manhattan courts reporter, tweeted about Trump's apparent slumber during proceedings. This incident highlights broader issues beyond mere mockery of Trump's nickname for Joe Biden as "Sleepy Joe." Firstly, it underscores a disregard for the judicial process, questioning Trump's respect for the system he claims to champion. Secondly, concerns arise about Trump's health and fitness to stand trial, as his inability to remain alert during critical proceedings raises doubts about his capacity to participate meaningfully in his defense. Trump’s supporters assert he’s alert and willing to tackle the allegations made against him head-on, but his courtroom demeanor and refusal to testify in his own defense paint a different picture.
Trump admits to the ENTIRE THING as criminal trial implodes
During the recent criminal defense proceedings for Donald Trump, a pivotal moment occurred as Trump unexpectedly admitted to referring to certain expenses as legal expenses, contradicting earlier claims of non-involvement. This admission challenges the narrative that Trump was unaware and uninvolved in the decision to pay Stormy Daniels hush money, using Michael Cohen as the intermediary. Moreover, Trump continues his attempt to spin his early court appearance as unfair, citing support from right-wing commentators like Bill O'Reilly. Despite Trump's protestations of injustice, the trial continues, with the defense resting and closing arguments looming. Closing arguments are expected to conclude next week, and then the jury will begin their deliberations.

Dem Congresswoman calls out Marjorie Taylor Greene's "butch body"
A congressional hearing took an unexpected turn when Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene made derogatory remarks about Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett's eyelashes, sparking a contentious exchange about personal attacks and the degradation of political discourse. Some attempted to maintain order and address the inappropriate comments, but the confrontation spiraled into a back-and-forth of insults. Amidst the uproar, Congresswoman Crockett posed a hypothetical question, asking if it would be acceptable to comment on someone having a "bleach blond, bad-built butch body," indirectly referring to Greene's appearance. Despite the cleverness of Crockett’s retorts, there is a need to refocus on substantive debate rather than petty squabbles and personal attacks. While both sides were implicated to some extent, the influence of MAGA Trumpism is the primary factor contributing to the deterioration of political discourse, as supported by Marjorie Taylor Greene starting this argument.

Fox guest WILDLY suggests Biden getting "injections" to hide dementia
During a Fox News segment on Maria Bartiromo's show, Congressman Byron Donalds made baseless allegations suggesting that President Joe Biden might be receiving injections to hide dementia symptoms. Donalds’ remarks, devoid of evidence, sparked a discussion on the plausibility of such claims. Various substances, including stimulants, nootropics, and cholinesterase inhibitors, have potential effects on cognition, but none aligned with Donalds' scenario. Even caffeine, the most plausible candidate, falls short of addressing cognitive impairments associated with dementia. This Fox segment emphasizes the importance of relying on expert opinions and factual evidence rather than engaging in reckless speculation.
