18. If only it could be televised.....

I was pretty riveted to our television on Insurrection Day (Jan 6).
It was astonishing.
That day had a huge impact on all of us, which is why tRump will forever be a loser.
While the trial won't be televised, tRump's daily bloviation after every court appearance will be.

For that reason alone this trial should be televised.
Having said that, the extensive reporting on this trial should be fun.

I see what you did there. SergeStorms Apr 14 #15
Don't like the word "flounce". When you weigh around 375 lbs, "flouncing" is not on the menu. Plodding or blustering, ok jaxexpat Apr 14 #24
"Lumber?" Sparkly Apr 14 #30
For one such as him, having but a thin and unfinished veneer, lumber is perfect. jaxexpat Apr 15 #39

Sadly true. wnylib Apr 14 #29
As I have suggested elsewhere, this should be archived as an example of someone going through a personal melt-down. erronis Apr 14 #6
