Blanche looks like he knows his career is over. Schadenfreude.

Defense got it all mixed up, this is not Trump v Cohen trial.

In the 1980s, A&W tried to compete with the McDonalds quarter pounder by selling a 1/3 pound burger for lower cost. The product failed because most customers thought the 1/4 pounder was bigger. That's why it's best not argue with the MAGA trolls.

It's a hard time for America, and you need to stay vigilant. A crook is a crook, no matter the color of his suit.

He continues to claim he can't talk yet he has never shut up.
He is still talking at 3 and 5 in the morning.
He acts like defiant juvenile delinquent and the very last thing we need in our government again.

You can’t fix stupid, but the red hats make it easier to spot it.

So if Cohen is the GLOAT, then Trump must be the BLOAT

My entire family of life long Republican all have agreed. We will all be voting for president Joe Biden this year.

One finger salute to all of those on the right! FDT!!

I so appreciate Judge Mershon's temperament.

Summation - He knew, he willingly participated, he is guilty. The glove fits.

[oxydator]

I feel so sorry for anyone who seriously thinks an old cry baby would be a good leader.

MOB USA.. Even the boss of bosses got pinched

[Aliens.Say.FDT.]

Trump has actually been treated better than he should be. We would've probe him first..🖕👽

[lynngordon]

There is no defense against the indefensible. Hopefully justice will finally and initially be served against Trump.

Canadians want to see Trump put in jail

[sandyd]

JUSTICE definitely MATTERS and must PREVAIL for NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW including Defendant Trump!! Time for Accountability Trump 🎉🎉 let's GO 👊

[HelHathNoFury]

It's a criminal offense for a witness to lie, but a defense attorney can lie through his teeth without consequence. This is f'd up.
