Trump asleep in court AGAIN, threatened with JAIL
Donald Trump's ongoing criminal trial has garnered attention due to his repeated instances of falling asleep in court. During the first two days of proceedings, Trump was reported to have been asleep, with media outlets confirming his drowsiness during the trial. Despite being warned of potential consequences, including arrest, for failing to attend court daily, Trump has made requests to skip certain trial days for personal reasons, such as attending his son's graduation. The judge has issued a stern warning that failure to comply will result in arrest, potentially marking an unprecedented moment in American history: a former president arrested during his own criminal trial. Additionally, Trump's demeanor inside the courtroom, characterized by closed eyes, leaning to the left, and crossed arms, indicates that he isn’t taking the trial seriously. As the trial progresses, juror selection has been underway, with some jurors dismissed and others selected.
Confused Trump ADMITS to crime at criminal trial
During Donald Trump's remarks outside the courtroom yesterday, he potentially admitted to key aspects of the case against him. Despite warnings from legal advisors to avoid media interaction, Trump appeared to confirm significant details, including his assertion that payments to Michael Cohen were marked as legal expenses. However, this acknowledgment directly contradicts allegations that these payments constituted illegal campaign expenses. Trump's candid discussion of the case underscores the complexities faced by his legal team in representing him as a criminal defendant. As the trial progresses, speculation mounts about potential witnesses, including Melania Trump, and the increasing intensity of Trump's reaction to the unfolding legal proceedings. This apparent admission by Trump adds a significant layer of intrigue to an already closely watched trial.

WE FINALLY GOT HIM: Bidens earned $620,000 in 2023
The day after Tax Day. the Bidens released their 2023 tax returns, revealing an income of $620,000. This high income is contextualized by Joe’s presidential salary, Jill’s job as a professor, and retirement benefits. This suggests Biden isn’t detached from the American public, as his pre-presidential income was a lot more modest. This extends to Bernie Sanders' millionaire status, which makes sense given his long-time six-figure income. Ultimately, the focus is on the complexity of wealth, policy advocacy, and public perception, with a call for nuanced analysis rather than surface-level judgments. Unlike Donald Trump, Joe Biden has been transparent about his financial situation and doesn’t have an interest in making himself appear more rich than he is, or covering up possible financial crimes.
From yesterday’s show:
Clarence Thomas missing from Supreme Court with no explanation
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas's absence from the court session has sparked intrigue due to the lack of explanation. With Thomas being a pivotal figure on the court, his unexplained absence raises questions about his health and the potential political ramifications. Chief Justice John Roberts announced Thomas's absence, indicating that he would still participate in the day's cases based on briefs and transcripts. However, the absence of details fuels speculation about the nature of Thomas's condition and its potential implications. Given Thomas's age, there are concerns about the possibility of serious health issues.
