At least you and Tom learned a valuable life lesson- one never knows what will happen next. ALWAYS have cold champagne at the ready!😉

I felt exactly the same way. His speech leaving the courthouse was disgusting. And yet, I don’t think it will do anything to sway his cult. It saddens me that our elected politicians cannot see the truth and speak up.

We were driving down I-40 in Tennessee when these events happened. Dwayne and I were thrilled to hear the verdict! It was not until Friday that we heard the cries of foul from the Cult. Our court system is rigged, but only against Trump. How can that be? I can only plead that this is the last straw for some of the Trumpers with a little brain left, and that they will not vote for him in November.

Jeanne, these are my thoughts and feelings exactly! I hope it is the beginning of the demise of Trump and his supporters - and the Repubs who support him. I love your reference to Lady Whistledown!

Right - is every court and judge corrupt? That’s what they’re saying. Just like the “rigged” election. If the election was so crooked, why aren’t they screaming about any if the down-ballot results? It’s all about T - from his perspective - he’s the most unfairly treated, maligned, poorly treated person in the country. (Forget about his life of privilege and how he has treated subcontractors, women, veterans, etc.)
