#DonaldTheDeplorable is closing with a message that he first delivered on the #AccessHollywood tape:
He’s gonna do what *he* wants to do “whether the #women like it or not!”

Update: Another piece of political art has popped up — this time in Philadelphia. Philly Voice reports that a statue of Donald Trump has been placed in Maja park, behind a bronze sculpture of a nude woman. Beneath it is a plaque that quotes Trump on the "Access Hollywood" tape that was leaked before the 2016 election: "I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait," the plaque says. "And when you're a star they let you do it. Grab them by the p****. You can do anything." An identical statue appeared in Portland, Oregon on Sunday but was vandalized and removed within hours. Here's more.
>> Silence From Crowd As Blithering Idiot Rambles Incoherently
#Trump is not a blithering idiot. He is extremely dangerous!
The crowds may have gone silent, but he accomplished what he set out to accomplish — which is — to normalize the idea of killing a judge.
Next thing you hear is he was "just joking" or it was "just sarcasm" and slowly it becomes normalized, like the "locker room banter" or "boys talk" about grabbing genitals in #AccessHollywood tape.

That's a #weird quip, I want to add.
#UshaVance is defending controversial comments made by her husband, #Republican vice-presidential candidate #JDVance, about #childlessCatLadies telling #FoxNews that she thought critics had taken the remarks too seriously.
It was more than a quip. #Vance elaborated, saying such people have no stake in our future. He also doubled down later 
Usha is an enabler just like #Melania who defended #Trump on #AccessHollywood as #boyTalk
#KamalaHarris has prosecuted #SexOffenders (cf. #EJeanCarroll case and #AccessHollywood tape), fraudsters (cf. #TrumpUniversity $25 million settlement for #fraud and conviction of #Trump and #TrumpOrg for 34 felonies in #NewYork ), cheaters (cf. the 13 #RICO indictments of #DonaldTrump for interference in #Georgia during the #2020election , and thieves (cf. #DonaldTheDeplorables indictments for #ClassifiedDocuments theft in #Florida ).
#ChrisHayes is doing a good job of going over all the times #Republicans were prepared to #DumpTrump: after the #AccessHollywood tape; after #Jan6... thinking he couldn't possibly win in 2016. And now here they are rallying behind him despite being convicted of #SexualAssault, and a #ConvictedFelon on 34 counts of Campaign Finance Fraud.

#Assange IS NO HERO, STOP MAKING HIM OUT AS ONE.
He colluded with Rodger Stone of the T**** campaign, selectively leaking stolen material while withholding anything that didn't serve his purpose.
When the #AccessHollywood tape broke, he was asked to leak the fact #Clinton had a private email server (which wasn't a crime and nothing sensitive was found on it, but the T**** camp hyped to distract from the tape.)
He isn't a "journalist". He's a political ratF***r who spread misinformation.

"Steve Brodner, drawing for the Nation... His illustration depicts Lady #Justice toting #Trump toward a #prison cell as she says, “Grab him by the law.”
Shortly after the #verdict came in, “I began thinking about the #AccessHollywood tape and how this #verdict was, in a way, the ghost of that long-ago tape finally coming home to roost — and having Trump as the one who gets grabbed. And I liked the idea of Lady Justice doing the honors,” said Brodner"

“#StormyDaniels was a walking, talking reminder that Trump was not just words" at a time when Trump was trying to distinguish between his words & both Clintons’ actions, #Steinglass said.
Steinglass notes that Trump had not shown much interest Daniels' story until after the #AccessHollywood tape came out.
He shows phone records w/a huge increase in communications between #KeithDavidson, #DylanHoward, #MichaelCohen & #Trump.
Now, having painted a picture of just how desperate the #Trump campaign was as it spun the #AccessHollywood tape, #Steinglass reintroduces the jurors to #StormyDaniels (well done Josh).
“During the exact same month that the defendant was desperately trying to sell the distinction between words & actions, he was negotiating to muzzle a porn star who was preparing to go public,” Steinglass says.
#Steinglass shows the jurors video clips of #Trump himself acknowledging that the “#AccessHollywood” tape & its aftermath could swing a very tight election. “If 5% of the people think it’s true, & maybe 10%,” Trump says in one clip, “we don’t win.”
Steinglass takes jurors through testimony from #HopeHicks describing what a disaster Trump understood the “Access Hollywood” tape to be, because she was “in the room where it happened.”
Steinglass describes the #Trump campaign’s reaction to the #AccessHollywood tape, & notes that the Trump campaign responded publicly that his words on the tape were “locker-room talk,” while they were quietly scrubbing the internet for anything that might be damaging to him. He shows that #HopeHicks relied on #MichaelCohen to use his media contacts to fight back against the negative press.
#Steinglass resumes after the break w/the release of the #AccessHollywood tape in Oct 2016, & describes #Trump’s comments in that tape as having discussed “grabbing women by the genitals.”
He reminds the jurors that #HopeHicks testified that the news eclipsed that of a Category 4 hurricane on the East Coast.
Steinglass reminds jurors that the “Access Hollywood” tape was “vulgar to say the least” & said that #Trump sought to spin it as “locker-room talk.”
#Blanche says that #Trump’s reaction to the #AccessHollywood tape was not what is being depicted by prosecutors — “He was concerned about his wife, he was concerned about his family,” he says — though he adds, moments later: “I’m not suggesting that it wasn’t a big deal for the campaign. Of course not. It was.”
#Blanche argues the #AccessHollywood tape, in which #Trump boasted about grabbing women by the genitals, is being portrayed by prosecutors as something it wasn’t: a “doomsday event” for his presidential campaign. Anyone who covered that election can tell you that the people around Trump & the broader #GOP thought it was catastrophic for his chances. So much so that there were talks of dropping Trump from the ticket.
#Blanche argues that if #StormyDaniels's allegations were so scary to the #Trump campaign, why didn’t it swing into action in April 2016, when a woman working w/ Daniels got in touch w/The #NationalEnquirer's parent company?
Obvious answer: the #AccessHollywood tape
#Bove argues for a limiting instruction about the “legitimate purpose” of testimony about the #AccessHollywood tape.
The testimony was used to show that the publication of the tape changed #Trump’s view on the need to silence the #StormyDaniels story.
#Merchan asks defense for specific transcript pages at issue, but said for now he agrees w/the prosecution that it’s unnecessary.
The jury sees a text from Howard to Cohen on 25 Oct, 2016, in which Howard says they need to get the deal done w/ #StormyDaniels or it would look “awfully bad" for everyone. #MichaelCohen testifies that they all understood the effect her story would have on #Trump's campaign if it came out so close to the election & on top of the #AccessHollywood tape. This is important contextual #evidence. The defense is arguing that Trump's motivation was to protect his family.
