@jentaub

didn't think he could become a worse person

but now I've read him "under oath"

@jentaub That’s Carroll, not Trump.
@jentaub @scenario keep scrollin
@brucy @jentaub Ah, he starts on page 15. But there are hundreds of pages missing.
@jentaub Interesting technique to tell your questioner during testimony that you’re going to sue her when this is over.

@allenmichie

As it happens, this was a woman who was asking questions of him.

@jentaub
If I play the "I don't recall" and "I plead the 5th" drinking game, how fast will the ambulance have to be so I don't die of alcohol poisoning?

@jentaub I find his testimony completely incoherent—possibly by design? The lawyer has to keep backtracking to clarify, but he just goes off on another tangent.

And yet—this was the man that so many called “presidential” while he was in office. (at least before they realized he was a moron, and then they said “I knew it all along”)

@grammasaurus @jentaub he’s always talked like that. Watch any of his unedited videos. He can’t stay on a single topic without help.
@patricklee @jentaub
I’m aware of that trait, but I guess I thought he wouldn’t be able to do that under oath. Silly me, huh?
@grammasaurus @jentaub if only he could be forced to stay on topic and truthful.
@patricklee @grammasaurus @jentaub
The 5th Amendment, I suppose, bans jamming someone with cattle prod evey time they answer a direct question with an off-topic self-serving rant.
@LizardSF @grammasaurus @jentaub I’d guess that it rather be the 8th 🤣
@grammasaurus @patricklee @jentaub if you're opposing counsel, you "want" them talking as much as possible so you can catch them in a lie or contradiction, or have them accidentally admit something you can use against them.
@grammasaurus @jentaub I think the by design part is never admitting to anything unless the questioner shows proof. He is just a very stupid man with a 50 word vocabulary.
@grammasaurus @jentaub Trump's fans are fond of characterizing Biden as having dementia. Irony much?
@jentaub Thank you for the share of the missing pieces ? of the deposition. When I finished reading the link and came back to Mastodon, I got the message not available.
@jentaub
I used to be interested in all of the legal issues around Trump but now, couldn't care less. He'll never go to prison, so what's the point?
@jentaub "I'm going to say something that even surprises me because women who have been raped are looked at in this society as less are looked at as spoiled goods, are looked at as rather dumb to let themselves get attacked. I mean even you have to say did you scream? I mean every woman who admits to being attacked has to answer that question, why didn't you scream, why did you come forward when you did, why didn't you come forward before and so no, I didn't - I would have been fired."

@jentaub I made it 2 pages before throwing my phone.

Who beat my record?

@jentaub

oh, @Gal_suburban @rancewilla @clayberg @trcfwtt this may be Lounge worthy… 😂👊🏻

@jentaub uggggh the man is a clod, a moron, an outright buffoon. Thanks for the post, I read every word. And I loathe him all the more.
@jentaub I love how he does not know about anything he has done until he is shown evidence.
@jentaub The last Fred Astaire movie I watched pales in comparison to this much dancing.
@jentaub Jesus a Christ. They can use this for all the cases pretty much. What a complete fucking idiot.

@jentaub

Generally, a woman is raped because the rapist didn’t like something about her, not because of attraction.

Rape is a form of violence.

@jentaub “So I will be suing you also, but I'll be suing her very strongly as soon as this case ends. But I'll be suing you also.”
Classic.
@jentaub He sounds stupid, incoherent, nervous, and incompetent.
@jentaub I’m that incoherent when I’ve had nothing but coffee and adderall all day.
@jentaub he’s just beyond nuts.
@jentaub His sheer amount of revictimization is so astounding and cruel it dwarfs the mounds of delusional nonsense and dodgy mob-style vagueness, avoidance, and blame.

@jentaub

O.M.G...!!! This lawyer has the patience of Job on steroids!!!
😲😲😲😲😲😲

@jentaub really enjoying this response to an objection that was not well founded

@Joe_the_L

That was my favorite part of the whole thing, too!

@jentaub I hope they release the entire transcript. There’s a lot missing from this. Though I must be insane to want to read any more of his endlessly meandering diatribes and non-sequiturs. Thank God I wasn’t taking this deposition. 🤦🏼‍♀️
@jentaub the truly shocking thing is how so many still think he’s just the best ever!
