Donald Trump keeps having senile moments each time he attempts to give a speech, as his dementia continues to get worse. In many instances Trump doesn’t appear to know that he’s having these moments. He just shorts out, and then starts rambling about the last word he heard himself say. But during a speech this…

Last night I spelled out why I still expect Donald Trump’s federal criminal trial to take place before the election. As I’ve said before, when the rest of the media and pundit class starts unanimously and repetitively chanting that we’re doomed, I can’t compete with that noise. All I can do is make my case,…

When Donald Trump filed a notice of appeal in his New York civil fraud verdict earlier this week but didn’t post bond to keep the verdict from being enforced, it didn’t add up. There was no point to such an “appeal.” The doomsday types told us that it must be because Trump had indeed come…

When Donald Trump posted a notice of appeal this week in his New York civil fraud verdict, it prompted major news outlets to run headlines and chyrons claiming that Trump had appealed the verdict. But this was highly misleading. If you appeal without posting bond, the the asset seizure process will begin before your appeal…

All along I’ve said that we were looking at one of two scenarios regarding Donald Trump’s “presidential immunity” appeal. The first was that the Supreme Court would decline to take it up, which would allow the trial to begin very promptly. The second was that the Supreme Court would take up the appeal but rule…

Last night we saw the Michigan primary election play out, and suffice it to say that President Joe Biden ran through it like a steamroller. He got about 80% of the vote, with also-rans like Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson only getting about 2% of the vote each. When you’re winning an election by 78…

On a night when Donald Trump was winning the Michigan Republican primary contest by a much smaller than predicted margin, it was clear that his mind was elsewhere. Trump spent the evening posting hallucinations on social media about how everyone is leaving New York State in protest of his trial verdict there. Trump announced “Wow!…

On Monday, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg filed for a limited gag order against Donald Trump. Why is this happening? It’s a standard procedure move when you’re about to go into trial against a defendant who can’t shut up. It’s a reminder that, yes, Trump’s first criminal trial really is about to start. In fact…

On Monday, Donald Trump filed a notice of appeal in his New York civil fraud verdict. Several news reports made it sound like this meant Trump was, you know, appealing. While that may technically be true, it’s realistically not true at all. If you’re planning to appeal a civil trial verdict, you realistically have to…
