Tucker On Twitter / Re: Some on the Right Are Having a Moral Meltdown
« Last post by the OlLine Rebel on Today at 06:57:48 pm »
This brings up the age-old argument about if one would do this or that.

The real question is always “who is better?”  Who gets to survive?  That is what it comes down to. Now, if it’s literally JUST you, a single individual person, feel free to turn the other cheek.

But if it’s more people, a whole society, you have to choose who is going to survive.  I prefer Americans, eg.  if there is a fight, I will choose my family. It’s that simple.

So it’s not about how they die or are injured, it’s whether you must oppose an aggressor.  As a society always protect yours.

Blanche tears into Cohen for memory lapse

Cohen, an experienced attorney, is relying on a common answer in testimony and depositions: saying he doesn’t recall to multiple questions by Blanche. Blanche is trying to nail him down on repeated warnings from prosecutors to not talk about the case, or about other matters where he assisted prosecutors.

‘No sir, I do not recall that either,’ he said when asked if he got a warning from the DA. ‘Because I don’t recall ever agreeing not to go on television.’

You don’t recall the district attorney telling you that you were unwittingly helping President Trump going on TV?’ Blanche asked. ‘No sir, Cohen said, his voice dropping to measurably in volume.

That prompted Blanche to ask how he could firmly recall details of years-old conversations with Trump.

Cohen stood firm on his right to talk, despite not remembering getting admonished. ‘I do have a First Amendment right. I can speak,’ he said.

By Kyle Schnitzer

Michael Cohen testifies that he charges $5.99 for monthly subscriptions to his TikTok, but doesn't spend every day of the week talking about Donald Trump on the social media platform.

“Well, I only do it six days a week," Cohen said, when responding to a question about how many nights a week he speaks about Trump.

He then admitted that he talks about Trump "six days a week.”

Cohen said he started the TikTok account six weeks ago.

Cohen says he doesn't know how many times he's been told not to speak about Trump case
By Kyle Schnitzer

Trump attorney Todd Blanche pressed Michael Cohen on how often he has been warned by the Manhattan District Attorney's office not to speak about the "hush money" case.

Cohen testified he was told that it was "probably better off if you don't speak about it."

Blanche then tried to twist Cohen's words, insinuating they don't "direct you" to not speak about the case.

"Well, I do have a First Amendment right. I can speak," Cohen shot back.

He said he doesn't recall how many times prosecutors have asked him to refrain from talking about the case since the indictment last year

Trump is unimpressed so far

The cross-examination has started with fireworks. Cohen is being presented with things he has said or posted about Trump or this trial or the defense lawyers. The public gallery in the overflow room has erupted in laughter. Reporters are on the edge of their seats, waiting to see whether Cohen gets tripped up. The judge has made several interventions as objections have flowed.

Only one person is unmoved. Trump is sitting back in his chair, eyes closed. Either he had a good lunch and is suitably relaxed. Or he is putting on a show of how little he cares about any of this.

The Judge is just another attorney for the prosecution.
All the prosecution has to do is to 'OBJECT!' about anything, and it will automatically be granted.

Blanche to Cohen: Why did you say Trump 'belongs in a f***ing cage' like an animal?

Cohen is confronted with his own foul-mouthed attacks

Jurors are showing no signs of blushing at Blanche’s series of direct and even profane questions using Cohen’s own words.

The lawyer is establishing a record of Cohen speaking about the case despite the judge’s admonitions.

‘You referred to President Trump as a dictator douchebag, didn’t you?’ he said.

‘Sounds like something I said,’ was Cohen’s response.‘You referred to President Trump when he left the courtroom,’ saying he ‘goes right into that little cage, which is where he belongs in a f****** cage like an animal,’ was Blanche’s next question.

Fired-up Todd Blanche brings up TikTok post in which Cohen calls Trump 'dictator douchebag'

Todd Blanche -- substantially more fired up than we've ever seen him -- confronted Michael Cohen right at the start of today's cross-examine over a TikTok tirade last month in which he called Trump a "dictator douchebag."

"Sounds like something I said," Cohen responded, speaking calmly and slowly.

'Crying little s--t': Blanche brings up Cohen's TikTok immediately during cross-examination
By Kyle Schnitzer

Todd Blanche came out swinging against Michael Cohen — immediately bringing up his TikTok posts that he's harped upon during the trial.

Blanche asked Cohen whether he recently described Trump as "crying little s--t" on TikTok in an April 23 post.

"It sounds like something I would say," Cohen said, before prosecutors objected.

Blanche then asked Cohen about a post where he mentioned himself and attorney Susan Necheles before more objections.

The judge then had a brief sidebar with lawyers and ordered the questions and answers stricken from the record.

"The questions are stricken. I don't believe there was an answer," the judge said.
