Broadcasting it will do nothing to sway his supporters. For fucks sake they WATCHED the debates he was in and loved every second of it while anyone with more than a single brain cell watched him get absolutely trounced in every one of them with his incoherent babbling and factually incorrect statements
since they're cult zombies who are too far gone to be reachable, that means we can safely ignore what they think. we should turn our focus to the people who can still be reached instead and let the trump cultists cling to the trumptanic until it's finally over (most likely outcome: death by old age in prison) and maybe then we'll check back. until then, just assume everyone who still supports trump will continue to do so out of sheer loyalty until the bitter end and move on
"Safely ignore" is probably not correct
safely ignore what they think, I mean. they're dangerous but their opinions and loyalties aren't subject to change and thus we need not worry about convincing them, only in stopping them from ruining the country
He's only doing this to turn it into a circus, the fucking clown
Record the trial and release it after the verdict. We get the full transparency, with none of the spectacle during the proceedings.
They’re going to be screaming “martyr” no matter what they do, so might as well
I'm imagining a late night tv commercial that resembles Girls gone wild commercials. "See Trump like you've never seen before, raw, uncensored, and wild! Only 19.95, act now and get Trump the Sentencing for free, just pay shipping"
“*All proceeds go to the ACLU”
I….
Okay. Not my proudest moment, but I’d totally pirate it.
Can we just skip to Trump: The Quickening and Henry Cavill grows more powerful as The Highlander?
Fine, record it and publish it after a verdict has been made.
honestly, for the best. as fun as being able to dunk on him live during a stream of his trial would be, we can get the benefit of the historical documentation from a recording.
Dude, the only way you’re like OJ is that you did it.
He's also the same color as OJ.
Also betting that he’s similar by getting away with it.
ironically, Johnnie Cochran would be an upgrade to his legal defense. One he probably can't afford. Oh and Cochran's dead.
And this time I’m sure the glove will fit, due to Trumps dainty hands.
Of course he does. He just wants to use it as another campaign tool. Anyway, it's not going to happen because that would also be against the law.
This is a dangerous catch-22 because televising the trial will only help his followers who will not see the truth being put forward, only finding more reason to believe in his "martyrdom" bullshit.
As it stands we have multiple top-notch journalists from world-wide news sites reporting on what happens, and imo that's good enough.
No, it's not that. What's going to happen is that Faux is going to go through that days testimony and ~~create propaganda films~~ cherry-pick and distort until they have a narrative that says all liberals are evil people who get off on persecuting Trump and the good god-fearing America-loving, Midwesterners and Southerners.
We already have excellent reporting on Trump's civil trial going on right now, proving that it can be done well.
Yes, but Fox has no incentive to do it well. They have incentive to make an atrocity, and televising it gives them the means to do it.
And Fauks is doing that now. So what would be different in a criminal trial?
Dude’s so far out of his depth and he has no idea. Federal courts don’t allow televised proceedings. Full stop.
They have allowed it before and will again if it's in the public benefit which judicially is a very high bar.
Notably in federal civil court there is no rule 53 barring video recording like there is for criminal trial.
