"Mr. Trump, please look at Exhibit F. Are those your signatures on those receipts?"

"I'm Eric!"

"I ask you again, Mr. Trump: Are those your signatures on those receipts?"

"I'm Eric!"

Eric Trump said: “I pour concrete."

I really, really doubt that.

That's what he calls going to the potty.

The article stating the DA's political affiliation like it has any relevance whatsoever just dissolves any credibility they may have had.

dhork@lemmy.world · 23 pts · 2y

Actually, it is a bit relevant in NY, because the AG is an elected position in NY. So she actively campaigned and was voted in as a Democrat. It shouldn't affect how she conducts cases, of course, but I don't think the article implied that it did.

AP is about as unbiased and professional as you can get in journalism these days. Like someone below pointed out, it's relevant because she's elected and it's relevant because Trump is making it a big deal, which makes it relevant to the story

Trump does not control what is and is not the law. If Trump went on a rant about the DA's favorite snack crackers, would that make it relevant? He does not deserve to control the narrative. Don't entertain his bullshit.

Eric looks like an inbred 17th century prince

His butthole-lips freak me out.

I love how three out of the four of them (everyone forgets about Tiffany, I almost did) have to testify against him. This is going to be beautiful.

It will be wonderful for sure.

Which brand of popcorn 🍿 is everyone eating?

If you really want to have fun, you can turn it into a drinking game where you take a shot every time they take the fifth. For reference, they have already been deposed for this case, and in their depositions, they apparently took the fifth hundreds of times.

The one nice thing about this is that, in a civil case, the fact that a person invokes the fifth amendment can actually be used against them, unlike in a criminal case.

I think I'll skip this one as I'd rather not, you know, die.

If we did that, we’d all be dead.

Costco's microwave popcorn is so delicious. I highly recommend it. I seriously think it might just be Orville redenbacher rebranded

Bought this popper a few months back and have been loving it:

1 butter patty per 1/4 cup kernels up to 3/4 cups per batch to fill the entire bowl and then salt / flavor to taste

Who will hold back the tears the longest? Don Jr or Eric?

radix@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 2y

Eric reminds me of PFC Downey from A Few Good Men. "I don't understand, what did we do wrong? We did nothing wrong!"

This is a civil case, so pleading the 5th is often seen as withholding evidence.

I’d say we should take a shot every time he says “I don’t recall,” but people might need a liver transplant after an hour.

This seems like a speedrun to alcoholism, don't do it!

This will be quite a showdown.

Ah yes. The two shitty looking background vampires from Blade. I can't wait until Jr. loses his cabin he's been whining about.
