Happy Monday everyone. Someone is in court this morning and looks none too pleased about it.

This was shared in my local mom’s group: On October 4th, a national alert will be sent out to test the alert system around 2:20 pm ET. If you have a hidden phone, like many in a DV situation might, make sure your phone is OFF. Being on silent will not keep it from going off. From my understanding, even if it’s the next day when you turn it on, it will still go off, so make sure you are in a safe situation when you turn it back on. I sincerely hope this heads up reaches the ones who need it the most. 🩷 Posted from another group! They are saying that you cannot turn off this notification since it is a “presidential alert”

The expression on his face reminds me of a toddler in time out.

Can he use her not checking the box as grounds for a mistrial or appeal since it's not what he wanted?

Couldn't believe his attorney forgot to check the box and something about them being the most inept legal team So there really is a box? I was sure that was just a joke. It seems like this would happen a lot, then. Would make better sense to check the box for a bench trial and no check would default to jury trial, since that is what most people prefer. Also, I thought it was the judge who determined a jury was not necessary because Trump’s lawyers were not disputing the facts of the case. I thought it was just a matter of figuring out if the facts created a damage (since this is a civil case) and what that damage is.

I thought it was just a matter of figuring out if the facts created a damage (since this is a civil case) and what that damage is. So I researched quickly and Trump’s not happy he doesn’t have a jury. From a Business Insider article: “While Trump has raged on social media in recent weeks about the decision to forego a jury trial, he only has one group to blame: his legal team. On July 31, the New York attorney general's office filed paperwork telling the judge that it had completed all of its pre-trial work and was prepared for a trial. On that form, the lawyers checked a box requesting a "Trial without jury." Trump's lawyers never filed anything to court arguing otherwise, court records show. They had the opportunity to ask for a jury trial — but didn't.” So really the AG checked a box and for whatever reason, trumps team didn’t fight back on this and now here we are.

I am not buying that the option for a jury trial was not 100% vetted by TFG’s legal team and they decided a bench trial was the way to go (or give TFG the grounds for appeal that he wants). The good (?) news is that the appellate standard for civil cases based on your lawyer making a mistake is a lot higher than it is in criminal cases.

I am amazed they are going forward with this! He can't help but incriminate himself. Likely he is demanding to testify. I don't see this going well for his legal team.

Honestly, I'm worried about who would take over. That clown car of a caucus is not functional no matter who is at the helm.

Can't wait to sit through 18 more rounds of voting to show they are completely dysfunctional and unable to work together within their own party, let alone across the aisle 🙄
