This is.

I've seen it recently. The funny part was the the SNL actors couldn't keep a straight face.

start hustling up more cash for their idiot dad's defense.
Maybe they're out from court doing that.

I wouldn't be there either. Of course, he wouldn't be my husband by that time.

he would also be a "Soprano" in a different sense.

Sad.

karma is a bitch I guess.

There is no loyalty or personal feelings.
It is all about money.

Jr, and maybe Eric might get disallowed as adults due to behavior.

He should finish out the year.

trample each other to death once he kicks the bucket to make sure they get what they think is their share. None of them care for each other.

if he's not a co-defendant or is unable to squeeze some money out of it?

If his family members come to court, they will hear the evidence against him. By not coming, they maintain the facade of not knowing the facts and when they deny he did anything wrong, they won't be "lying" because they haven't seen or heard the evidence.

They’re nothing if not coldly calculating.

She was a 76 year old woman on a walker. When she was sentenced (with orders to immediately report for transport to prison) her family stood as one and cheered.

It’d like to see history repeat.

Any idea why she was there?

She must've been a work of art for her whole family to stand and cheer her demise.

She was to be sentenced because she had been found guilty of defrauding a car dealer.

We had been able to freeze most of the bank’s money in a credit bureau where she had deposited it. As our case pended, she began sending letters to our office. They were typed, all caps, with no margins; not top, bottom or left or right. They were nonsensical, but about every third word was “fucken.” She also wrote to the bank president that her devil dogs were going to kill his wife, and bite off his “nut balls.” Eventually, the letters began arriving at our office with multicolored dust, which freaked out the secretarial staff. Not me, though; I just started checking my car for bombs in the morning.

Before her sentencing hearing, I checked the court file for the date and time of the hearing. When I opened it, I saw a familiar looking letter. It was addressed to the judge, who was a somewhat stocky Italian American. It began: “Dear Judge Critelli, You fat dago bastard.” After that, she got rude.

She was to be sentenced on two charges. One was a felony, and one was a misdemeanor. Judge Critelli sentenced her to ten years on one, and five years on the other. The county attorney had to remind the judge that the latter charge had a maximum sentence of one year. The judge was a little pissed.

The local paper published a picture of ol’ Lillian entering the courthouse on her walker. My secretary photo reduced it, laminated it, and gave it to me as a gift. I carried it in my wallet for years, as a reminder of one of my first cases.

I wonder how well she did in prison? Did she get along with other inmates? Or the officers?

That was some story. Thank you for writing and explaining. I bet you could've gone on and on, lol.

Thanks for that entertaining piece of legal history.

Gotta wonder how someone that dumb was able to defraud anyone of 40K though.

saying she was out of checks and asking for a few while her new order was being processed. The main bank told her she would have to appear in person, so she wrote to a suburban branch, which sent the checks.

Her first check was for something like $15. Then she wrote two for $10,000, and one for $20,000 before the real account holder got his statement and raised hell with the bank.

"Predictable." "Fitting." "Rational."

Even "delicious" would be better.

Trump's family is only a family in the sense that the mafia is a family.

Just look at this weird-ass statement about Barron's graduation, “I was looking forward to that graduation with his mother and father there".

Trump never went to the graduations of any of his other four kids, because those ceremonies weren't about him. He doesn't give a shit.

None.

So I guess it’s the norm for them

#trumpishated.

...wear it. Hope Hicks will be there eventually. Wonder if he'll give her the stink-eye before or after her testimony 🤔.

Should she report to testify at his trial.

She probably doesn’t want to be anywhere near him. Ever ever again.

She probably wanted to work in the White House because it’d be a terrific resume credit to have. Unfortunately his White House was the only such opportunity available when she needed it.

is shittier than the one next to them. They're as awful as it gets.

Given the nature of this trial, the last thing the defense wants is to remind everybody he fucked around on Melania while she was recovering from childbirth

Qusay is looking for his keys.
