Late Night Mocks Trump’s Three-Minute Testimony
“A jury is there to determine how much he will have to pay, and we know he doesn’t like to pay, so he showed up to speak on his own behalf. And everything went smoothly until the judge asked him to tell the truth, the whole truth, and everybody busted out laughing.” - JIMMY KIMMEL

The Washington Post - Opinion - Judges rebuke lawless MAGA Republicans. We need more of the same.
By Jennifer Rubin, 29 Jan 2024
A distinguishing characteristic of MAGA Republicans is their contempt for the rule of law.
Not to be bound by election results, the Constitution or court processes, four-time-indicted former president Donald Trump sets the tone. He declares himself immune from prosecution. He defies judicial gag orders, throws temper tantrums in court and tosses around “executive privilege” like confetti.
Thankfully, judges have begun responding to MAGA lawlessness and attempts to nullify federal law.
U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth, for example, castigated election deniers and Jan. 6 apologists:
“The Court is accustomed to defendants who refuse to accept that they did anything wrong,” he wrote. “But in my thirty-seven years on the bench, I cannot recall a time when such meritless justifications of criminal activity have gone mainstream.” ...
He continued: “I have been shocked to watch some public figures try to rewrite history, claiming rioters behaved ‘in an orderly fashion’ like ordinary tourists, or martyrizing convicted January 6 defendants as ‘political prisoners’ or even, incredibly, ‘hostages.’”
Likewise, in sentencing former Trump economic adviser Peter Navarro for contempt of Congress, U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta admonished: “You are not a victim. You are not the object of a political prosecution. These are circumstances of your own making.” ...
Every word of this would be equally applicable to Trump and his legion of enablers. ...
