@Pwnallthethings ...what did they expect, trial by combat?!?

@Pwnallthethings going for the Pulitzer

@Pwnallthethings But Jack Smith did pass him a note that read: “Do you like me? [ ] Yes or [ ] No”

@Pwnallthethings NYT: “Grand Jury not invited to Trump arraignment”

@Pwnallthethings still notable, in a way, because it’s unusual to see one of the involved parties keeping his mouth shut 🙊😮

@Pwnallthethings
Oooh. First fan FicTioN

@Pwnallthethings
*The NYT has entered the Young Adult Romance genre*

@Pwnallthethings Breaking news - Trump said "I did nothing wrong" to Jack-the-Ripper-Smith.
Would that have been better ?
I thought it would...

@Pwnallthethings But when he got to Bedminster, Trump snorted an entire bottle of Adderall and told the assembled gathering what he really thought of Smith. To the cheers of the crowd, which would have been expected, since the luminaries included Mike Lindell. No word on whether Smith shared similar reminisces of his encounter with Trump to his dinner guests...

@Pwnallthethings aloof observations are not headlines.

@Pwnallthethings It would be a great Saturday Night Live script. Jack Smith staring down Trump. Laser eyes. 😆🤣 Trump looking at his shoes. Dreaming about a Big Mac & fries. 🍔🍟🥤 Shooting ketchup on the wall. When Judge calls his name. 😆😂🤣 Trump is toast! 👏

@Pwnallthethings To be fair, this is the first time Trump has declined to speak in weeks. It's been at least since his last arraignment.

@Pwnallthethings @avram To be fair, to NYT, these legal proceedings are pretty far from their core staff expertise: email security protocols.

@Pwnallthethings "At arraignment, prosecutor addresses court" is a boring headline though

@Pwnallthethings At the funeral, Alex was ten feet from the corpse. But they exchanged not a word.

@Pwnallthethings I will say that through it all I imagined trump would just start Trumping at him when he saw him. Silence was the most decorum that man can show.

@Pwnallthethings I heard Giuliani was there too, suggesting Trump declare Trial By Combat.

@Pwnallthethings @KingShawn Also pretty sure it is tricky to have any sort of conversation when 20 feet apart in a public place #JournalismIsDead

@Pwnallthethings Trump will probably recount the arraignment to his supporters: “The special persecutor was there and he was crying. Imagine that, a grown man just balling tears. And he said ‘Sir, I’m so sorry to have to do this. It’s Biden’s orders, you know.’ and then he gave me a hug and said I was the greatest President in history.”

@Pwnallthethings looks like an AO3 writing prompt to me

@Pwnallthethings
"...they exchanged not a word, as reported by our local correspondent who is monitoring the situation in the courtroom live from a helicopter."

@Pwnallthethings
Why would they. The truth is there in writing .. and there is more

@Pwnallthethings this makes me think their newsroom consists of an unpaid intern running an AI program.
