Every once in a while I stop here to checkout what Pravda has to say about the Trump Soviet show trial.

a pon actress and a convicted liar in front of a judge who throws a hissy fit over someone's eyes ... what a joke

[Akathesia]

Has anyone seen any ‘build back better’ hats yet ?

[georgesk]

Payments in 2016, so why was he not prosecuted say in 2021 after he left the white house, why now?

Trump: Saudi Arabia and Russian Rewididu ha. What is Rewididu ha means in maga language lol

What happened to the Education NPO money? Has that gone silent behind a curtain of Bankruptcy when it appears like another fraud. I did not send him a penny. 🎉

Cooperatives and strong active unions are our best hope of building a social democracy🗳️💙, preventing societal collapse into fascism, and restoring stability.🌎🕊️Ⓐ🏳️‍⚧️☭🏳️‍🌈

This case speaks for itself. No one is on trial but Trump. From Trump remarks about women it sounds like something that he would do. And it makes sense.

Mr Trump or any other VVIP, this is a very sad situation in American history. all other countries watching this case. I made a wrong comment please excuse me. thank you.

Regardless of the jury's verdict, Trump should get at least 1 year of solitary confinement for attempting to tamper with the jury and witnesses.

What happens now, it, ll try an bribe the jury, with no money 😂😂😂😂❤❤

Defense closing statement:

1) Trump, might have a bad case of Machiavellianism.
2) Trump wanted to wear a Burger King crown, into court.
3) Trump, leaves long whining and annoying messages.
4) We didn't want to be seen with Trump, outside of court.
5) We will not be representing Trump, after this trial.
6) We don't know, If we are going to get paid.
7) Trump wanted us to get a Tiny Mushroom tattoo, we declined.
8) Trump wanted us to wear matching clothes, we declined.
9) We are okay, with taking the witness stand and explain our grievances.
10) We will not be voting for Trump.

The Defense never introduced a retainer agreement for Michael Cohen. Why? That would have given them a fighting chance at acquittal. But they didn’t even discuss it in closing. Wow. Unless there is just someone on the jury who wants to throw the case, Trump is losing this case. Jail? Unlikely

Is anybody surprised?? Who didn't know what he was up to?

[sybergato]

Everyone figured it out and got tired of hearing the witch hunt nonsense

[BenHamilton-uuzb]

I think he should be required to detail what services Stormy performed with his wife and offspring present. Then the defense and prosecution could question him with the jury present. All while wired up to the lie detector. .

[dannovak]

I don't see how they proved a case of anything. They're just trying to keep him busy with this Is bologna

[qulthfe]

Take trump to prison already he needs to go ❤

[ryzlot]

The jury members have spent the weekend entertaining offers from anxious outcome-wishers - I'm sure they will do the right thing. (Or is it the left thing)
