    I agree with the judge that Trump should be deposed, although I’m not sure we mean the same thing by it.

        his claim requires him to have suffered damages, correct?

        not only was the fuck elected again, but he’s made billions off it and enriched his buddies and family besides. there is no ‘damages’.

          I am eager to see him defend his narcissistic hallucinations in a British courtroom.

            I didn’t even think the venue would be British.

            Do they ever televise that stuff? I need some serious schadenfreude.

              We could get transcripts every day and perform a televised puppet show. Guess who the orange dressed up as?

      Holy fuck. I heard about it but had not seen the video. I didn’t realize it was this bad. There was only ONE place for him to go and the demented old fuck went right by it. They even backed the vehicles right up to within feet the walkway, he only has like three or four steps from the bottom of the stairs to the car, and he still wandered off.

      I’m laughing my ass off. Been there, done that with corralling the older people. “Come on back, grandpa. No – no, not that – no – over here – I’m over here – come on back, grandpa.”

      Honestly they should have waved a KFC bucket or something.

    He will never sit. He will drag it out as long as possible, or at least until after the midterm.

    If I learned anything from Knowledge Fight, its that you can stretch out sitting for a deposition and court case for fucking years.

      You don’t have to be President Pedophile to delay a deposition.

      I was in an accident a few years back. The other driver came into my lane and I tried to go around him, but failed. My best guess is that he fell asleep and just drove over the double yellow line. We hit in an offset head on collision, passenger side to passenger side.

      The other driver had the state mandated minimum coverage, and the accident caused about $20,000 damage to my car. My insurance sued the other driver.

      It took years to get the other driver to show up for the deposition. They’d schedule it, I’d take the day off, then the other driver would cancel at the last minute.

      Eventually we all got into the same law office for the deposition. My insurance’s lawyer put me in a room to read over the transcript* from my statement after the accident and asked me if I had any questions. Then they stepped out to see if the other driver and his lawyer were ready.

      When he came back he said they settled.

      They were hoping they’d get me to not show up so they could get the case dismissed. When they finally realized that would never happen, they gave up.

      I might have not been so determined, but I have generous PTO (for an American), and the other driver lied to police at the accident and said I entered his lane. Luckily (?), the accident destroyed the windshield washer reservoir in my car, so it dumped all that out at the point of impact. It also destroyed the right front tire, so the rim dug parallel furrows into the street leading from where I ended up back to where the accident happened in my lane.

      * If you ever have the opportunity to read an insurance company transcript of yourself, avoid it if possible. They note every dumb “uh” and “um” you utter.

        you only read it, imagine being the one that transcribed it. verbatim transcription is absolutely brutal to do.

      He will never sit.

      He has to or else he’s held in contempt. Once he loses the House and Senate in a couple weeks, and is fully Impeached, he’ll be spending the rest of his life either in jail or in a courthouse.

      He sat there while they read ‘guilty’ 34 times.
