And it is rumored that the smell is deadly. Alina Habba seems to enjoy it though - everyday she was right there beside her hero, facial pout posing every time she saw the cameras on her. Now she moved close to him in FL. She seems to wear his scent like fine perfume.

or the Pips..."pip pip and cheerio, guv'nor"...

On Kavanaugh he probably has all that information to confirm he was a sexual predator.

On Clarence Thomas, probably all kinds of information regarding the acceptance of bribes.

On the others, could be information on family members.

He's the president who wasn't shy about taking classified documents to Mar o Lago. Some of that information probably involved blackmail material.

“Definitely” would be much more appropriate.

Getting a majority vote through congress and then 67 votes in the senate is a tough endeavor with our current polarization. Now Cheetolini may think he can blackmail those justices but it doesn't mean they will even blink let alone rule in any way but in support of our wealthy elites.

And unfortunately, most of the people he'll be glaring at are abject cowards. It's a shame they won't glare right back at him.

But it’s an old move. Remember when he stalked Hillary on the debate stage? What a vile thing he is.

If she had turned around to face him and said "What are you doing?", we wouldn't be here now.

the pressure. Weak and afraid." Notice how little criticism or calling out there was by our gutless, misogynist society.

The media never misses an opportunity to bash Hillary.

but in my dreams, she said "Back off, creep!"

and then, "We can start when he is back in his podium, not before."

'IF ONLY' moments - you know, after you're driving home after having dinner with a MAGA (yeah, I know - why would one even do that!) - and you think of 4-5-6 things you wish you would have said, but DAYUM, we need to be 'civil' - you know - the 'they go low - we go high' thing.
I truly don't think it would have mattered. If she attacks him, no matter how correct or brilliant it would have been - the MAGAs would have been all over it - and there's no sign that anybody would have supported her for it anyhow.....
She is brilliant - she didn't have a chance............
Our loss.

told him, "You can say anything about me, but don't you dare insult my wife or I'll whip your fat ass", he would have been the nominee and possibly President.

"Your place is over there."

If she got called a bitch, she should have doubled down!

to turn to the moderator and say: "Would you please ask Mr. Trump to quit STALKING me around the stage"

The word STALKER is a serious dog whistle to women in America......

It'd be like John Gotti staring at one particular juror for his entire trial.

Trump thinks he's a mob boss and acts like one. Intimidation is his forte. He'll release his flying MAGAts on any justice who doesn't give him what he wants.

But, out of curiosity, what do you think the vote will be in the case? I'm predicting 8-1 on the outcome, but with concurring opinions offering different rationales for the result. Outside chance of it being 7-2 with Alito and Thomas dissenting, or 9-0 with Alito and Thomas offering very narrow grounds for decision.

before the 2016 election.

He was WAY out of his depth back then. He was way out of his depth today, too.

But I don't think that will sway the justices...

Clinton in 2016. He wandered around the stage behind her while she was answering a debate question.

More sociopathic, bullying behavior. I wonder if he will interrupt the hearing.

I could understand trying to play mind games in a lower court, but this group of fools can not be toyed with they are there with a life sentence
:

“Da fuk you lookin at?” Is my response

Or direct eye contact and "Can I help you, motherfucker?"

I also move in. I figure that I'm either going to be seen as sincere or crazy. Crazy is almost always scary to others.

If they don't back off, I usually follow up with an "Are you OK?" Then possibly if necessary...

"This man needs some help. Can we get some help, please?" Usually loud enough to call attention to the foolishness and embarrass them.

I don't usually have to go that far. But I'm ready.

Crazy usually works.

during the oral arguments.

He thinks he can dominate a co-equal branch of government.

Period

about his being there. To me, this is not only an intimidation technique, but it's a *one branch* of the government interfering and intimidating a *separate and equal branch* of government. Has there ever been another instance where the president sat in on SCOTUS hearings? Somebody give that kid a binky, and put him to bed with a clean diaper!

with Hilary - he literally stalked her during the debate. I am sure it's an attempt at intimidation.
Toxic hovering is a perfect way to describe it!

Yours is nominated as Comment of the Week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My daughter is one of those high-powered DC attorneys, member of the SCOTUS bar, has sat 2d or 3d chair for a couple of SCOTUS arguments. She says it's so damn quiet in there much of the audience has trouble staying awake.

The "arguments" are not exactly scintillating theater that brings the audience to their feet in cheers.

He will glare and make faces.... maybe even attempt to interject.....in the first 10 minutes. Then when he finds out he can't ramble and speechify, he'll cross his arms and fall asleep.

The falling asleep takes away from the intimidation. It makes him look like a dottering old fool, NOT a mobster in a TV role.

Hopefully, he will fall asleep, maybe snore.

But it's likely to backfire. They'll know that's what he's doing and they won't like it (with the possible exceptions of Alito and Thomas, who always roll over for him anyhow). They weren't afraid to rule against him on his pet project, tariffs, and I doubt that seeing his glowering ugly orange face in the courtroom will influence them in his favor. It might even piss them off and remind them (or most of them) that he's not their boss, however much he wants them to believe it. I don't think even Alito and Thomas think he's their boss; they're just fascists all by themselves.

Because he has the goods on them
But the Supremes, in turn, surely have the goods on HIM.
They know all that we know. Plus some.
He will do whatever it takes to stay in power.
They will do whatever it takes to stay on the bench.
Standoff. Showdown. Stalemate.

They close the doors at 9:55, hearing starts at 10:00.

If he disrupts the hearing will they remove him from the room?

Literally and figuratively.

leaving at 9:40. On edit: He has entered the courtroom.

I don't remember a President ever doing this before.

support birthright citizenship -- with The Don sitting there.

This happened in the TV Series The Wire.

High ranking members of the criminal organization are in the courtroom during a murder trial.

The witness feel intimidated.

Trump is trying to intimidate the justices, especially the ones he appointed.

Thomas does not need intimidation; he will vote anyway Trump wants him to.

I wish she had turned to him and said “why don’t you SIT DOWN AND WAIT YOUR TURN TO TALK?”

It was such a blatant effort to unsettle her! If I didn’t already hate him (which I DID), that would have been enough to get me there. I saw what you did, donald, and I knew what you were trying to do (aka mind-fucking), and I wasn’t fooled for a nanosecond.

Or, maybe SHE should have slithered around behind him when HE was making some point. (Here. Have some mind-fucking back atcha, Chucko.) The movement grabs the eye.

And to glare



Like Frank Nitti.

While TSF was sitting there!!

how/why it has taken so long for the media and the public to figure the orange td out. All of this is standard mafia/bully tactics.

I don’t know why. It’s as bald-faced an intimidation tactic as I’ve ever seen. Sure seemed pretty doggone obvious to me.

If his radical gambit is likely to lose, why bother with an unprecedented presidential appearance at the high court? There are two prevailing explanations.

Link to tweet

that he intended to sit in on oral arguments 'because I have listened to this argument for so long.'”

This imbecile doesn't even know what the Supreme Court hearings are for. He thinks oral arguments are literally arguing! Maybe why Piggy's dumbshit mouthpiece is yelling!

The idea that he can intimidate the justices is just silly, imo. Sure, he would like to bs able to dothat, and he might THINK he can, but they all know they have lifetime appointments and there's nothing he can really do to them. This part, however, makes a lot of sense to me:

They should just park his ass in the corner, in a kiddie pool and get him a happy meal and exclude the catsup.

He usually loses in court, so nothing new to him....

This is the first time a president has done this and it's unprecidented.
They don't like power plays

Remember the debate with Hillary Clinton in which he paced back and forth behind her during her responses? "Rawr, I'm a scary lion! Pay attention to me!"

Or the time he posed for a picture holding a baseball bat with both hands, giving side-eye to Mike Pence like he'd just masturbated to Al Capone (Robert De Niro, ironically) committing murder in The Untouchables?

But like his grab-and-yank handshake, none of this schoolyard crap is working for the spray-tan pig-man anymore.
