  2. If Trump is innocent, then his lawyers shouldn’t need to use delay tactics.

  3. Imagine a delaying a criminal trial due to too much publicity about it. Mass shooters, celebrities and anyone else who acts loud can get out of all criminal trials?

  4. I wonder what happened to him yesterday (Thursday): he neglected to file a daily motion to delay the trial yesterday. Was he constipated or something? It must have passed overnight and today he can resume making his daily request for postponement. Ahh, it feels normal again.

  6. Maybe he should shut the hell up, and there would be less bs being spread around. Just another day in the life of an idiot criminal named trump.

  7. This might have been the dumbest one yet.

    Bragg put it best:

    >Trump’s own incessant rhetoric is generating significant publicity, and it would be perverse to reward defendant with an adjournment based on media attention he is actively seeking.

    Defendant solely responsible for publicity complains about publicity. Wants criminal trial delayed because of his own inadvisable and completely avoidable actions.

  9. That jail bar barrier in front of Trump sends happy thoughts tingling up and down my spine.

  10. For the 3rd time in 3 days a NY appellate judge has denied the former president’s attempts to further delay his hush money trial. Tired of winning yet?

  11. Justice Merchan DENIES Trump bid to adjourn trial due to “prejudicial publicity”

    > The remedy that Defendant seeks is an indefinite adjournment. This is not tenable.

    Judge Merchan also expressed his…

    > **continuing and growing alarm over counsel’s practice of making serious allegations and representations that have no apparent basis in fact.**

  12. Dear “nOtHiNg WiLl HaPpEn” folk,

    When is the last time that you had to appear as a defendant for a criminal trial?

    There is a parallel universe out there where the guy never got indicted. This is not that universe.

    Fucking deal with it.

  13. Umm…trump is the one responsible for almost all of the pre trial publicity. He’s getting desperate to even try this lame ass excuse to delay.

  14. So, he causes a media shit storm and then tries to use said storm o shit to get the trial delayed? Fuck off Donnie.

  15. Wait, I lost count. Is this the third, fourth, or fifth time this week that he lost an appeal to delay the trial?

  16. Doctor, I shot myself in my foot and I am going to sue you for touching my foot to save it.

    Trump is a douchebag loser.

    I can’t wait to see him in cuffs.

  17. A principled jurist who knows the law and understands the reality of the shitshow on trial in his court. Good for him. Makes me proud to be an American where at least a few good jurist are left.

  18. It’s nice to see he’s already getting used to being behind bars.

  19. I would love if one of the judges just said “how many times do we have to tell you no” but I remember they should ever better ethics than me.

  20. I usually hate Mondays but this one might not be so bad

  23. Two more days and probably 50 more reasons to delay incoming.

    Hope the judge has enough energy to keep countering them.

  24. Looks like Trump is practicin’ for prison in that picture. Everyday make the bars go higher and higher. 😎

  25. I really wonder what his lawyers think or tell him when comes up with bullshit like this. Your the cartoon..no you’re the cartoon

  26. Oh my gosh. Please start Trump’s trial! He deserves to be brought to Justice for lying to the American people and paying off a woman he had sex with.

  28. But hasn’t it already been delayed? I thought this was supposed to happen before April.

  29. At some point his lawyers should be penalized for clogging the courts with frivolous motions. And actually that point was hit weeks ago. The leeway the courts are giving this pond scum are amazing.

  30. I bet you $20 he’s going to fire his lawyer as a last ditch attempt. He will claim he needs time to find a new one and get them caught up to speed.

  31. This is a small case with an obviously guilty defendant. He should try to cut a deal with minimum jail time.

  32. I cannot fucking wait to see El Lardo go on trial. Will we see it in real time? Will this fat mother fucker be in the court room?

  33. Judge declines to delay Trump’s NY hush money trial after Trump “publicly” complains of pretrial publicity.

    FIFY 👍

  35. Dickhead causes publicity of trial. Dickhead complains of publicity and tries to get trial delayed

  36. No new evidence or information that might exonerate Cadet Bone Spurs. Just more legal shenanigans to delay or shut the case down. I this this one “doth protest too much” since he created the majority of the pre-trial publicity

  37. Why is delusional Donald complaining about pre trail publicity when his delusional narcissistic personality demands this attention the man can’t keep his mouth shut!!
    So supporters you believe our country is safe with this type of person in charge
    People you deserve what happens if he gets re elected!
    Good freakin luck to you !

  38. >Judge Juan M. Merchan wrote that Trump “appears to take the position that his situation and this case are unique and that the pre-trial publicity will never subside. However, this view does not align with reality.”
    Pointing to Trump’s two federal defamation trials and a state civil fraud trial in Manhattan within the past year, Merchan wrote that the ex-president himself “was personally responsible for generating much, if not most, of the surrounding publicity with his public statements” outside those courtrooms and on social media.
    >
    >
    >
    >**The situation Defendant finds himself in now is not new to him and at least in part, of his own doing** …

    Their entire scheme is either audacious or just plain stupid.

  39. Christian messiah Donald Trump denied delay in NY hush money trial? The same one in which he cheated on his pregnant wife by raw dogging a porn star?

  40. Does anyone have a guess as to what he’ll pull over the weekend? Heart attack? Bone spurs? Fall down go boom, have big owie?

  41. Trump is a joke and a bad one at that. Hopefully Trump’s attorneys get sanctioned for all this BS. Trump also didn’t connect the dots that his constant criticism of the judge would not make the judge like him more.

  42. He’s going to do whatever he can to delay until the election, and on the chance he wins, that’s it for the lawsuits. If he doesn’t win, he’s going to push hard for Election Lies Part 2: Electric Boogaloo, and plan for another January 6… except next time, he may not even feebly try to stop it.

  43. The man that is constantly screaming at the top of his lungs to anybody that can hear, as he complains about everything and everyone.
    Stands outside the courtrooms and preaches to the crowd, how wrongful he’s being treated.This man is worried about pretrial publicity? I think not…

  44. Him and his lawyers going to come down with Covid Monday morning to delay 😂

  45. Trump’s scared. That trial starts on Monday. The worst part is he HAS to show up EVERY DAY 4 days a week (they are off Wednesday) to his trial. He HAS to keep his mouth shut because if he pulls that BS during his civil trial the jury is going to be very pissed off. Those who do courtroom outbursts usually get convicted. He’s pissed that he has no control over that courtroom and the jury. That’s the thing that he fears the most those 12 jury members deciding his fate.
