Who Lost the Month in MAGA World (second place version) ?!?!? poll [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-06-02 First, I’ll reprise my Top Comments diary on the night of 34 convictions: → These stalwart attorneys’ speaking tour earlier Thursday night ... what timing! Began at 7:30 Eastern Time x Cheering on the streets of Boston for the Trump verdict! — Barb McQuade (@BarbMcQuade) May 30, 2024 → Originally, I had thought there might be an acquittal or two, maybe a hung jury on a few (to serve as a symbol of discernment). Given that the buzz on the right was that they wanted nothing less than unanimity … well, ya got it. → While I have no sympathy for Todd Blanche and his associates: I wonder if they’ll suffer the same fate that Rudy, Sidney Powell, Kenneth Chesebro and John Eastman suffered after filing 45’s legal challenges to the 2020 election. Apparently, they learned they were not being paid to represent 45, only to prevail. It sounds like a version of the claim made by personal injury lawyers on television: “Rudy, you don’t get paid …. until I win” And in response ….. → I always knew that the state where I was born had legal quirks (i.e., the NY State Supreme Court is subordinate to the Court of Appeals). I so wish they allowed televised proceedings, as right-wing media could lie with aplomb to its audience. Nor did I know the defendants and others had to be there throughout deliberations. By contrast, the jury in the Simpson case delivered their verdict so late in the day: Judge Lance Ito had to defer to the next morning (as the various parties could not be summoned on such short notice). “The Dancing Itos” — from the Tonight Show → Had the trial been televised: I so wish the verdict could have been delivered as it was by the jury foreman on the original 1967 film The Producers ... Actor Bill Macy (Maude’s husband) → I know that the odds of 45 ever spending a day in jail are not good …. but should it ever happen ... I’d give a week’s pay to be able to witness him being visited in prison …. by this gent: I should close with I Fought the Law … but everyone else is (and I have a specialized version for my next Top Comments, configured for the UK elections). Instead, a song to address 45’s latest complaint #873: x April 4th, 2023... Judge: Do you understand these charges? Trump: Yes. pic.twitter.com/av39zp3ccv — The Lincoln Project (@ProjectLincoln) May 29, 2024 While this song was revived in 1987 by Buster Poindexter (real name David Johansen, sole surviving member of the New York Dolls quintet) — and its composer in 1950 was singer/guitarist Louie Innis — the song was made famous later in 1950 by the jump-blues singer extraordinaire Wynonie Harris. It’s the chorus of Good Morning Judge that sums-up the predicament 45 faces. ♫♫ "Good morning, Judge .. why do you look so mean? Sorry, Mr. Judge ... what can the charges be? If there's been trouble, I will plead not guilty It must be someone else ... you know it can't be me!" ♫♫ x YouTube Video Now ….. given that the 34 convictions are the #1 to #10 stories of the month … the poll will be to determine … what came in a distant second? (Or maybe not so distant).
