Can we say the obvious for a second?

Good decision. Everyone needs to be able to see this. It's important, especially in this climate.

Anyone a big enough drunk to take a shot every time Trump, himself, tries to object?

They should add some twitch integration too, 10,000 bits and the defendant has to floss.

I hope he suddenly goes all sovereign citizen and handles his own defense.

Sadly this will only be watched as justice porn for the left, the right won't even care.

I’m wholeheartedly behind the WGA & SGA, but god bless Georgia for coming in clutch with content over the next year plus.

This should 100% be televised. This affects us all. This was the attempted overthrow of our democracy and justice should not be hidden.

There is way more benefit then problem with this IMHO.

Wonder what sponsors they’ll have… Will the judge ask us to smash the like button?

Out-fucking-standing. I am absolutely going to watch this. It’ll be the first Trump footage I’ve voluntarily watched in quite a while.

So we're clear, this is not the revolution

I am not going to watch any of that.

When he was on the NPR news cycle five times a day I started yelling and cursing uncontrollably to the point where I was diving at the radio to turn it off or change the station so that I would not freak the fuck out.

It doesn't matter where Trump is. I don't want to be there. It is a defilement to view him.

My word, that is delicious.

I wonder what Fox will find to run instead.

This is going to backfire in a big way. Whole lot of people seem to think this will be justice porn or somehow convince his base of his criminality but it is going to do no such thing. According to one poll, the majority (77%) of likely GOP primary voters are already convinced the trial is "politically motivated", with only 8% more concerned about him attempting to overturn an election. You can take a look at some polling here, there are other even more troublesome results as well: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-poll-indictments-2023-08-20/

No matter how awful, contradictory, and ridiculous he will be in that court room, this is likely going to be a massive boon for Trump, and his followers are going to see it as the realization of their own fears of persecution. This man is an ascendant fascist leader, not the sad sack finally facing consequences that liberals so desperately want him to be, and the effect this will have on mobilizing his base to continue to escalate will be immense. These people do not give a single fuck about """law and order""" no matter how much they pretend they do, stop assuming they will just accept things when he is found guilty. They won't.

I'm just trying to help people realize how dangerous and precarious this whole situation is. People were laughing and making jokes when he first announced his candidacy, and kept on doing it right up to the point that he won the election. Don't make the same mistake again, because while yall are cracking jokes, him and his ghouls are hurting people. They are passing discriminatory laws, they are in the supreme court setting dangerous precedents and overturning inconvenient ones, and they are patrolling the streets looking for people to brutalize and throw in jail. They are committing hate crimes and becoming increasingly radicalized and mobilized.

Stop pretending this is entertainment or business as usual, it's not. I'm begging you to understand that the fascists are already here, and the longer they're underestimated the better their chances of seizing control.

But will the revolution?

How can they actually get jurors for this?

If the facts require the jurors to convict, there is no chance that this won't ruin their lives (if not significantly shorten them). Even before then, it's going to be a problem. His supporters have already declared and demonstrated that they are willing to use violence.

Thank you, but I'd sit in jail as long as necessary to not be on any of these juries.

Advertising revenue will clear the national debt

Try a clown, expect a circus

I hope the writers are not on strike by then. Late night careers will be made from this.

INVEST BIG TIME IN POPCORN MARKET, PROFIT MARGINS ARE GOING TO POP POP POP.

Is this a new trend? like Johnny depp and Amber heard !? twitch ttv would melt if they added a 'court room' tab
