Excellent commentary Gloria!

I think it unlikely that today will be a normal day in court.

Given the highly charged and combustible atmosphere of the star witness setting forth the most damaging evidence against the man in front of him, Trump is likely to spark pandemonium in the courtroom by his spontaneous outbursts for the benefit of the jury. I think that the Court will have no choice but to remove Trump, after a single admonition, to another room where, with one of his attorneys, he can follow the proceedings.

It is beyond comprehension that Trump will be able to keep his mouth shut!

So far there have been no fireworks. It’s uncanny behavior from both men.

... "Clutch our pearls .."!!!

At times I'm tempted to clutch something less harmless... lol

I'm glad that I'm hundreds of miles away and don't have to deal with this deprevity in person or even listen to it all for months and months.

It makes me feel dirty.. I think I may have picked up some shame of being of the same race ( human ) than these God-less abominations.

I hope that all those Trump followers know what a golden shower is!!!

Sick, nasty and dispicable creature.

😂😂😂🤮

Another great work Gloria!!

Thank you!! 🌸

I know it’s hurtful to read but I think we need to know exactly who he is and pray he’s found guilty on all 34 counts.

“…once the truth is out there, once the ugly reality of Trump's crimes and misdeeds is laid bare for all to see“

When was it not? Some people choose not to see it. Is that what you think might change?

A guilty verdict on all counts will sway some voters.

True! Some are so personally and emotionally involved and invested that they just cannot face the truth... people go into denial .. admitting such a mistake, to be so misguided, so blind to the truth, is just too painful and scary!

And not to forget embarrassing.

Imagine, ya bought a bible from this abominable miscreant!! LOL

The ego is a terrible thing!

My expectation is for him to be devastatingly deadly in his prosecutorial witness deliveries and responses to the defense questions on cross. This is his best chance to use fact and truth to extract every last vestige of revenge by excoriating and eviscerating TFG fully.

Cohen torched his own life, nuked his family’s peace, shredded his law license, and got tossed in the slammer, all while Trump threw him out like last week's garbage. The man bent over backwards, forwards, and sideways, doing every dirty deed that scoundrel Trump demanded—and then some. In the end, he was just another disposable pawn in Trump's twisted game. It’s a saga so vile, so dripping with betrayal, you’d swear it was fiction. But no, this nightmare is as real as it gets.

Gloria Horton-Young: Your poetic gifts make vivid THIS trial-CIRCUS populated by David PECKER, Stormy Daniels, and a FIXER!

As the neo-fascist tries to bring America into the gutter with him, AT LEAST it is entertaining.

Break out the popcorn. And, we have enough guilt. Let's pour a lot of coconut oil and butter in it, too, so it tastes good and is properly sloppy for the entertainment.

Our Republic is falling without even the redemption of the late Roman Republican Civil Wars ending with the dictatorship of Octavian -- crowned with the dignity of the title, "Augustus" or, better, "Augustus Caesar", with the enormous difference that Augustus brought us a CULTURE of Vergil, Ovid, and Livy.

The early decay of Rome was the heighth of Roman-Hellenistic culture.

What here?! We descend from Ralph Waldo Emerson, David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickenson to . . .

Stormy Daniels, a FIXER and David PECKER.

Alas!

Pass the popcorn, please. Let's pop another giant tub of popcorn. Burp!

Perhaps Cohen will be the Camel that breaks Trumps Gag Order and Trump will spend a day or 2 in jail finally. The prelude of things to come so he will know what he is allowed to bring besides secret service for his longer sentence. The American Horror Story Continues....Having Trump as President again is terrifying.

Nicely written Gloria!

Donald Trump was born into a front organization of the Genovese crime family.
He was theirs from birth.. this is factually correct… members in the family called Donnie l, little Elvis based on his hair style.

His father Fred laundered money, while Roy boy was the family’s fixer/attorney.

The concrete cartel ran NYC building business. The Trump casinos were mob businesses used to launder money until…

….Until Semion Mogilevich leveraged him into massive debt & took Trump Org from the Genovese, when he rolled up all their assets.

Among the many things our FBI, CIA and Justice Departments were well aware of we should hear some very poignant stories from a fellow Jersey lifelong criminal. Enjoy the popcorn 🍿!!
