Friday Afternoon

I continue to be amazed at the losing streak Donald Trump is on with his various court cases…and I'm curious. Are his lawyers really that bad? Or is their client forcing them to file so many obviously-doomed motions and offer so many insane positions because of a certain image he wants to maintain and even intensify with his followers?

Or is it just that he's even more crooked than we thought? Or that he's bad at not leaving evidence of crimes and at not confessing when he's trying to defend himself?

There's a great temptation to write a lot about this here but I know that, first of all, there's so much out there about it that the last thing the Internet needs is a lot of opining by that guy who does something-or-other on the Groo the Wanderer comics. At the same time, a lot of you have written that you want more political stuff on this blog. So here's what I'm gonna do…

I'm gonna write less about politics but post referrals to articles and videos that I think have something valuable to say. For instance, here's a chat with "Conservative Lawyer George Conway," as he's usually described, explaining that colloquy the other day between U.S. Circuit Judge Florence Pan and that Trump lawyer who talks like Percy Helton about whether the President can send Seal Team 6 out to kill his political rivals. This video might come in handy if you ever have to argue before a U.S. Circuit Judge.
