Ellen your post is The Best on the “non” issue of the “ffg’s” attempt to use his last, “bonus” kid’s graduation, as another excuse to get out of being seen sitting in court for Criminal felonies. Everyone notice his bs bluster about it was at weakened level. More like a former category 4 hurricane, down to a windy, with some rain level. Worn down and almost Done. What a Relief that will be, when hurricane Don, is long gone and Clean- up from Major Messes left behind will begin.
And he's whining BEFORE the judge even tells him No. Whether or not he gets that day off depends on how the trial is moving along, ie...how little donny is behaving himself. He can blame himself if he causes a bunch of time-consuming unnecessary drama and they can't afford the day off. Sucks to be you donny.
That’s a super interesting dynamic, there. Not sure I would want my dad there, at all, if he’d cheated on my mom when I was a newborn, and now the whole world knows about it!
The son must feel humiliated to face classmates in school . And likely lose respect /lack of trust for his father. Unless son is waiting for his role in the criminal family, he might want to escape.....in any available form.
And the more jurors they reject the longer he will have to sit there….I do think they will have a hard time selecting a panel. I can’t imagine what kind of person hasn’t heard of Stormy Danials, the pussy grabbing video, etc. I worry they will be low functioning and not make the right call.
interesting point.. and how many truly worthy, competent jurors will claim bias simply because they are afraid of his MAGA gorilla's followers' wrath? All jurors and their families need to feel they will be adequately protected. Was this brought up?
nominally true.. but, let's get real... this is "The Donald" man-child... he will make sure he gets the names out... he's not afraid of gag orders... it's just another fine that he could not care less about. Sadly. 🙄🤷♂️
The standard isn't whether they have heard of these things or have opinions about Donald, but whether they can set aside their feelings and decide the case, based on the evidence presented in court, and the judge's instructions on the law.
Not necessarily. I know several well educated people who are so sick of hearing and reading about Trump that they have skipped every story about Trump for the last few years. They may have negative opinions about him but it could still be possible to decide the case based only on the evidence presented. I have sat on a couple of juries and jurors are not without their prejudices but their only commitment is to set those prejudices aside and decide the case on the evidence presented.
Knowing him, he is liable (destined?) to completely blow out his gag order tonight! He is now saying that he has enough votes to "cancel" the 2024 election. This is the mentality of the one person that holds America hostage
To be clear: Trump thinks he already has the correct number of votes to win the Electoral College making an actual election unnecessary? The man has no ego, right?
It’s certainly going to be interesting few weeks. I love that so many folks happily admitted they could not be fair if they served on the jury. That undermines his future arguments that the jury were unfair democrat plants who plotted to take down his campaign. You reap what you sow Donald & the witch hunts keep finding witches.
My money is still on Michael Cohen being able to make him go into a full blown narcissistic meltdown in glorious technicolor. I hope it happens and the world will finally see his true colors.
Commander Crazy Pants and the Devil Spawn shouldn't EVER be allowed to have anything to do with running this Nation.
He's started Sun downing and replacing nonsense words that "sound" like the word he's trying to say. The Dementia will only worsen, he will be a blubbering fool by the time November gets here.
He is such a pitiful loser, the R's should be embarrassed. 💙
THANK YOU MARY for never remaining silent regarding the scurrilous jackass.
Put Donald J Trump in PRISON once and for all. Russian Asset. TRAITOR. Convicted rapist. Criminal, worldwide. Money laundering for Russian Oligarchs. Billions from Saudi's. HE IS A CRIME WAVE. DANGEROUS LUNATIC
Trump is singlehandedly ruining America forever! We will NEVER be seen as a world leader ever again. We are a laughing stock around the world. Sadly. When millions of Americans ALLOWED THIS COWARD to call us Veterans, Losers and suckers for what we gave to this country I lost it. I got my passport ready and bought a home overseas. I'll VOTE AND THEN LEAVE. Fuck this!!!
It is a shame that we must get off this soil to try another country for some Peace and Quiet. To leave this hate, racism, disgusting Domestic Terrorism getting stronger by the day from California to Maine. Hundreds of groups are well ARMED and in training such as Oath Keepers (leader might be in prison but, he still calls the shots and they have others who have been put in leaderships positions. Patriot Front. AtomWaffen Group/Terrorist/Nazis. Far right Domestic Terrorism THREAT IS REAL. 66% of the attacks on America are from this group. The Department of Homeland Security reported in October 2020 that white supremacists posed the top domestic terrorism threat, which FBI director Christopher Wray confirmed in March 2021, noting the bureau had elevated the threat to the same level as ISIS. 2 million US Military Veterans who served PROUDLY and many gave their LIVES for this country and one FAT OLD CRIMINAL, RAPIST, MINEY LAUNDERING, BANK FRAUD, TAX EVADING MENTALLY ILL POS calls us 'LOSERS & SUCKERS" while standing on the graves of our heroes of WW2 in Normandy, France!!! And millions of Americans APPLAUD THIS EVIL!!! I am disgusted. I reported directly to General Al Haig, SACEUR NATO HQs for 3 years and Lt General Otstott and we worked very hard to keep Europe, our allies, and America SAFE. We come home this? America has lost its collective mind. 74 Million Domestic Terrorists, white supremacists, with such evil, hate in their hearts it is CHILLING!!! yes, Passport in hand, second home overseas, dual citizenships so we stay safe, Intern'l drivers license. WE VOTE AND LEAVE. I never wish to hear that ugly name again in my lifetime. "TRUMP. HE IS PURE EVIL" 'A Psychopath'. Bless you Joyce. sorry for ranting like this but, America is under ATTACK. Not the first time either, this happened in 1933 USA with NAZIS. (watch that period on Youtube) 20,000 Nazis gathered in New York to take down USA. Ugly period as well. This time is worse. Take care Joyce, bless you and your family, James
I am so so sorry that all our veterans were so grossly disrespected by that man. He’s a complete embarrassment every day. Now we have elected officials in the House & Senate, who took an oath to uphold the Constitution, who are now actively working to destroy it & are promoting Russian propaganda on the floors of Congress!!! It’s horrible.
It’s also a fact that many serving in the military & law enforcement are in the cult of Trump & will attack their fellow Americans.
I understand your plans to leave, I sure hope all of the good ones like you don’t though. Old women like myself need someone to fight for us here at home.
He certainly does make such an easy "fat target" on so many levels 🙄🤷♂️. But your skewering eloquence as prose always shows that the emperor has no clothes😉
I can fully appreciate that. Channeling our angst in a productive manner is healthy for the psyche and can take many forms. Your method is distinctive and a welcome distraction 👍👍
It will be a long and winding road. He will not be able to be quiet. Judge Merchan seems to be unflappable. IMO there will be fines and then perhaps house arrest. I suspect an outburst in the court will probably have him in a soundproof booth. Maybe his followers will see the real Trump . That in itself would be magical.
I think they would put him in a separate room with closed circuit TV so he could watch the trial and scream as much as he wants, but no one would hear him.
Everything right Mary!! The judge is very stronger and he rejected on trump lawyers because he said no you come everyday. Trump want go his son graduation and he said no you must come in trial. Sorry! But he call on political of which hunt or political. This court is very serious not political this is trial I hope 6-8 weeks until if he guilty judge decides on him 4 years and 6 probation years. He is zero president campaign no debate no president museum no president portion at White House! Next stop Georgia and Florida until he guilty for long time at his home or federal prison
I didn't know he was denied from going to his sons graduation. This makes me feel so much better. I was fuming that the gag order wasn't immediately enforced. Which I still disagree with. Why should he have a pass of 9 more days to abuse and threaten others involved in the case.
I pray a bus driver falls asleep and steamrolls him. Now that's a true bloodbath!🩸🩸🩸💥💥💥🚌🚌🚌
Donald should show up for his son. His son is innocent let’s keep his need for a good relationship with his father out of politics. Thank you for your reply.
Today I had great rushes of joy knowing that he has to sit in that courtroom for SIX WEEKS. I bet he totally flips out more than we’ve ever seen.
He's upset that he can't be at his son's graduation. Maybe he should have planned ahead better.
He didn’t care much about his son when he was in bed with the porn star, why would he now?
Oooh... you are so spot-on 💯🎯. Touche.👍👍
Ellen your post is The Best on the “non” issue of the “ffg’s” attempt to use his last, “bonus” kid’s graduation, as another excuse to get out of being seen sitting in court for Criminal felonies. Everyone notice his bs bluster about it was at weakened level. More like a former category 4 hurricane, down to a windy, with some rain level. Worn down and almost Done. What a Relief that will be, when hurricane Don, is long gone and Clean- up from Major Messes left behind will begin.
And, as someone pointed out, he has NOT attended the graduation of any of his other 4 children…..none!!
He's not at all upset about that.
He just wants something to whine about since someone else told him "no".
He doesn't even want to walk around with Barron since Barron is taller than he is.
I bet Barron didn't even know his "dad" had any plans to be at his graduation till he saw it on television 💀
And he's whining BEFORE the judge even tells him No. Whether or not he gets that day off depends on how the trial is moving along, ie...how little donny is behaving himself. He can blame himself if he causes a bunch of time-consuming unnecessary drama and they can't afford the day off. Sucks to be you donny.
I thought his son was in 11th grade…🤔
So did I
That’s a super interesting dynamic, there. Not sure I would want my dad there, at all, if he’d cheated on my mom when I was a newborn, and now the whole world knows about it!
Having Trump at Barron's graduation would make the graduation all about Donald.
👆👆👆
That's why he wanted to go in the first place!
I'm sure he's terribly embarrassed about that.
👆👆👆👆👆
He doesn't really care for anyone but himself.
maybe he shouldn’t have crimed so much.
Never attended the graduations of his other four, why now?? Using this as another pure grift. Already lying about what the judge said.
Did Trump attend his other four children's high school graduations?
He didn't even go to Tiffany's LAW SCHOOL graduation, let alone her high school one
wow
IKR???
No, he didn’t, not one of them!
The son must feel humiliated to face classmates in school . And likely lose respect /lack of trust for his father. Unless son is waiting for his role in the criminal family, he might want to escape.....in any available form.
Wow... that calls for the quip from the old Hee-Haw series: "well, wouldn't that just duff yer hat?" 😆😆
😂
And the more jurors they reject the longer he will have to sit there….I do think they will have a hard time selecting a panel. I can’t imagine what kind of person hasn’t heard of Stormy Danials, the pussy grabbing video, etc. I worry they will be low functioning and not make the right call.
interesting point.. and how many truly worthy, competent jurors will claim bias simply because they are afraid of his MAGA gorilla's followers' wrath? All jurors and their families need to feel they will be adequately protected. Was this brought up?
Exactly. Probably why the judge allowed anybody who said they couldn't be fair and impartial to be excused right away. They never do that, usually.
Nobody in the public is supposed to know the names of the jurors
So they will at least be protected in that regard
nominally true.. but, let's get real... this is "The Donald" man-child... he will make sure he gets the names out... he's not afraid of gag orders... it's just another fine that he could not care less about. Sadly. 🙄🤷♂️
Why are they allowing Donald to know the jurors? He is a crime boss and all the jurors identity needs to be protected. WOW!!!
The standard isn't whether they have heard of these things or have opinions about Donald, but whether they can set aside their feelings and decide the case, based on the evidence presented in court, and the judge's instructions on the law.
They then need to select all attorney's.
Not necessarily. I know several well educated people who are so sick of hearing and reading about Trump that they have skipped every story about Trump for the last few years. They may have negative opinions about him but it could still be possible to decide the case based only on the evidence presented. I have sat on a couple of juries and jurors are not without their prejudices but their only commitment is to set those prejudices aside and decide the case on the evidence presented.
The jury pool is being pulled from Manhattan, so probably a lot of highly educated folks.
You are ecstatic imagining Trump's confinement.
Knowing him, he is liable (destined?) to completely blow out his gag order tonight! He is now saying that he has enough votes to "cancel" the 2024 election. This is the mentality of the one person that holds America hostage
To be clear: Trump thinks he already has the correct number of votes to win the Electoral College making an actual election unnecessary? The man has no ego, right?
He can't count
His dementia sounds like it’s getting worse.
His losses are our win. Keep it going.
It’s certainly going to be interesting few weeks. I love that so many folks happily admitted they could not be fair if they served on the jury. That undermines his future arguments that the jury were unfair democrat plants who plotted to take down his campaign. You reap what you sow Donald & the witch hunts keep finding witches.
Love “witch hunts keep finding witches”
Thank you for your column tonight, Mary. 💙
I am glad Judge Merchan is holding Donald accountable.
My money is still on Michael Cohen being able to make him go into a full blown narcissistic meltdown in glorious technicolor. I hope it happens and the world will finally see his true colors.
Between Michael and Stormy no way is he going to be able to hold it together! Oh yes, a full blown narcissistic meltdown!
Is Trump afraid Stormy is going to talk about the size of his penis or what?
She is a whore,that's her area of expertise
But she doesn't apologize or make any excuses for it. I respect that.
THANK YOU MARY!!

Stormy is a SHERO!!
Put Donald J Trump in PRISON once and for all. Russian Asset. TRAITOR. Convicted rapist. Criminal, worldwide. Money laundering for Russian Oligarchs. Billions from Saudi's. HE IS A CRIME WAVE. DANGEROUS LUNATIC
ONE HUNDRED PERCENT 💯 A FACT
PUT HIS MF ASS IN JAIL FOR FUCKIN EVERRRRRRRR

Other than all that…he’s a really nice guy. 😁😁
🤣🤣🤣
Dozin’Donnie.
Saw Don Snoreleone today also 💤💤💤👏🏼
😹 Don Snorleone
Like that moniker!
One person on threads coined the name Orange Droolious!
😄😄
Tina, I’ve been following a PBS program on Julius Caesar. It’s a must see particularly right now. Orange Droolious indeed!!! in his wake:-)
We don’t need knives!
I LOVE that!!!!!
Thanks! Say it 3 times and it’s yours 😄
Love the new moniker, IDing ( pun intended) great for major Headlines proclaiming Every Win for Prosecution!
Freefall
Oh, the irony! The man who once mocked "Sleepy Joe"
Now can't keep his own eyes open, don't you know?
"Sleepy Don," they'll call him, as he dozes off in court
While facing charges for his sleazy Stormy payoff, the wart
•
He's nodding off, his jaw goes slack, his mind's a blur
Can't even focus on his lawyer's notes, the cur
If he can't stay awake when his own fate is on the line
How can we trust him with the nation's fate, the swine?
•
But wait, there's more! The moron speaks in tongues
Spewing gibberish on the campaign trail, his brain's unstrung
"Adlinthin," he says, a word that's not a word at all
Just like his presidency, a farce, a freefall
•
And let's not forget his blatant disregard
For the gag order, calling witnesses "sleazeballs," the lard
He can't control himself, his ego knows no bounds
The prosecutors seek to hold him in contempt, the clown
•
The judge must find a way to make him pay
Without fueling his cries of "political foul play"
Hit him where it hurts, right in his bloated wallet
That'll shut him up, the babbling, blithering varlet
•
Day one, and Trump's already in a world of trouble
Creating chaos, making his own bubble
But for the rest of us, it's a glimmer of hope
Watching the Orange Menace finally on the rope
•
So, let the trial unfold, let justice have its day
As "Sleepy Don" faces the music, the price he'll pay
For his lies, his greed, his utter lack of grace
A fitting end for a man who's a disgrace.
This is MAGNIFICENT
All the planets are all aligned with the mastery of your words THANK YOU
Thank you so much. 😊
I love and read every piece you write. Your words spin the daily venom into gold.
It reframes my mindset every time.
Thank you
Iam just so grateful to be part of this wonderful community ❤️
*Sighs* so am I, Janine.
Gloria, this is brilliant and such fun to read! 💯👌 Please continue to share your gifts.
Thanks, Marc. I will admit I relish trash talking Trump. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
He certainly does make such an easy "fat target" on so many levels 🙄🤷♂️. But your skewering eloquence as prose always shows that the emperor has no clothes😉
It’s the only way I can rid my hatred.
I can fully appreciate that. Channeling our angst in a productive manner is healthy for the psyche and can take many forms. Your method is distinctive and a welcome distraction 👍👍
Gloria, this is your finest Ode to Donny’s Downfall.
Excellent summary of the trial and the possible impacts. I also saw you on YouTube with Katie Phang - great panel discussion.
Ditto! It's always great when Mary is with Katie. Thank you Mary for all you do. 👍
Link?
It was live and I don't think there's a video up yet. If you go to YouTube and type in Katie Phang show you can see the videos that are posted.
It’s on YouTube
That fraud stock of Donald’s is going down quicker than his poll numbers. Wonderful.
It will be a long and winding road. He will not be able to be quiet. Judge Merchan seems to be unflappable. IMO there will be fines and then perhaps house arrest. I suspect an outburst in the court will probably have him in a soundproof booth. Maybe his followers will see the real Trump . That in itself would be magical.
Mary, I appreciate your plethora of information.
The only reason I wish there were cameras is THEN we could see for ourselves what his behavior is. Even is most of it is snoozing. Zz
💤 💤 💤
I think they would put him in a separate room with closed circuit TV so he could watch the trial and scream as much as he wants, but no one would hear him.
His followers have seen what he is and still condone his behavior. Go figure.
Can only hope that the 🐑🐑🐑🐑will soon see him as the big bad wolf
Thank you Mary.
Everything right Mary!! The judge is very stronger and he rejected on trump lawyers because he said no you come everyday. Trump want go his son graduation and he said no you must come in trial. Sorry! But he call on political of which hunt or political. This court is very serious not political this is trial I hope 6-8 weeks until if he guilty judge decides on him 4 years and 6 probation years. He is zero president campaign no debate no president museum no president portion at White House! Next stop Georgia and Florida until he guilty for long time at his home or federal prison
I didn't know he was denied from going to his sons graduation. This makes me feel so much better. I was fuming that the gag order wasn't immediately enforced. Which I still disagree with. Why should he have a pass of 9 more days to abuse and threaten others involved in the case.
I pray a bus driver falls asleep and steamrolls him. Now that's a true bloodbath!🩸🩸🩸💥💥💥🚌🚌🚌
He was not denied. Donald lied to his base to elicit sympathy from them. Court is not scheduled in the day of Barton’s graduation. Thank you.
I can't stand that he is allowed to stand in front of the courthouse and spew his verbal feces for all his anomaly followers.
He absolutely should be Barred from doing this because it truly is dangerous.
His words incite violence from his sick base. Letting him do this is like someone yelling Fire !!! Fire!!! In a movie theater everyday.
Thank you for sharing this fact with readers who were unaware that no court was
scheduled on son's graduation day. Now Trump must show up at the graduation.
His appearance could ruin this day for the son....as well as an distraction unwanted for others at the ceremony.
Donald should show up for his son. His son is innocent let’s keep his need for a good relationship with his father out of politics. Thank you for your reply.
He is such a piece of shit. I hope that it was said court thay he lied and that he was shut down
And he NEVER ATTENDED any of his others graduation. 🤬🤬🤬
Knew you would come through Lisa 😉💯👌. Thank you.
Thank you!
I agree the judge should have ruled quickly about the gag order and not wait a week.
Thank you for sharing your opinion and validating my feelings on this.
I feel relief that iam not alone w this.
I just pray that justice is finally SERVED
IN PRISON
FOR YEARS
ok I'll get off the crazy train LOL
Great picture! He’s looking mahvelous!
