If Donald Trump could keep his fat fucking mouth shut, he wouldn't be Donald Trump.

Don't let them tell you what to do!

Alas, the dreams are memes.

My question about dreams is this: Who supplies the dialog of non-you characters in the dreams? That being answered, reflect on why you are not in a dream now?

Dream theory - I am the dream

Trying to hold back the tide.

Let the rivers flow with confessions and libel.

It's the same old story, yeah Everywhere I go I get slandered, libeled I hear words I never heard in the Bible And I'm one step ahead of the shoe shine Two steps away from the county line

He won't and also won't suffer any consequences whatsoever from it, as usual.

They keep him off the stand as much as possible so he doesn't incriminate or perjure himself because he is actually incapable of not doing that. His closed door deposition was a nightmare, imagine what him testifying would look like.

I give him 10 minutes before he opens his mouth and instantly falls afoul of Evil Overlord List entry 11.

I will be secure in my superiority. Therefore, I will feel no need to prove it...

I hope he argues it was his money and he has every right to give it to porn actresses if he so pleases.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Several lawyers and political advisers for Donald Trump tell Rolling Stone that they want him to keep his mouth shut during his upcoming criminal trial in Manhattan, and say they’ve made gentle internal pushes to try to convince him to heed their pleas.

It remains an open question, of course, whether the presumptive 2024 GOP presidential nominee will listen and suppress his impulse to turn his remarkably high-stakes hush money trial into a self-destructive, Trumpian media carnival.

For months, some of Trump’s closest advisers and senior campaign officials have grown anxious about various polls indicating that a criminal conviction this year would greatly harm his chances at winning back the White House.

In recent weeks, attorneys and political consultants close to the former president have advised him not to testify, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the matter and another two people familiar with the situation, fearing it would create unnecessary drama and allow prosecutors to lay potential perjury traps for him.

Several of these attorneys and political aides have been in touch with one another, according to a screenshot of written communications reviewed by Rolling Stone, suggesting that they have been tag-teaming efforts to cautiously corral Trump into sticking to an extremely toned-down approach to this trial.

It’s unclear if Trump will ultimately order his legal team — fronted by Susan Necheles and Todd Blanche in this case — to let him testify, or if he’ll heed his advisers’ warnings to remain uncharacteristically quiet and subdued while sitting in court.
