If Trump's glowering at you, Lawrence, you must be doing something right. You are a gentleman who tells the truth, and the truth is brutal to brutes.

He’s literally a writer of fiction.

[@fowlerja]

Joe Biden For Prison In 2025!!!!!! Joe Biden has delivered a “death sentence” to many Americans in his "open border" policy. He has allowed the Mexican Cartel to grow into a multi-billion dollar business. He has allowed the drug smuggling of so much fentanyl into the US, that 75,000 young Americans (ages 15-44) will die each year from this evil and poisonous drug. What has Joe done for your family today? Well many families will bury 300,000 young Americans during his watch. Hope you were able to attend some of those funerals.

Jail time? Just like Pablo Escobar!!! Lol

[@silverfox5732]

Wow, I am so glad you explained Trump's situation the way you explained it, simply and to the point. I never gave myself the thought that Trump would go to jail, you have made my day, just knowing his jail cell is in the courtroom is great. Thank you for the real-life of DJT now.

No mic, just 45 shouting at anyone who will listen to his spin on the truth especially the one where he can't testify due to a gag order. Even his lawyer was forced to shake his head even though he shook no just a mich as yes. The judge did the right thing by setting them straight. I would have singled out the attorney and ask if that is really what he thinks or just his client

[@yvonnerahmes9618]

I (and my husband of 49yrs) have watched you Lawrence O'Donnell (and Rachel Maddow) FOREVER :). You are well appreciated and most needed to deliver not only pertinent news, but the way in which you do, with the most trusted honesty to be found in this world. I felt the reality of the courtroom and Donald Trump within as if I were there. Also, the weight of the sad story, of the lawyer who has trothed himself now only to Trump, so devastatingly so. Took all but the long sad sigh out of me...

I think Blanche turns out okay tbh. He loses this case, because of course he does, keeps the firm open for a few more months for show and then goes back to another firm as a partner. Likely releases a tell-all in the future that confirms that the crazy orange man is in fact crazy. It'd be a fun read, at least.

Trump keeps calling this the BIDEN CASE, saying its a WEAK CASE and a FAKE CASE, so since he's not taking any of this seriously, putting him in jail for the rest of his life is likely the best way to teach him a lesson.
