Can they hold their breaths indefinitely? Like, just stop breathing. All of them. Forever.
Decided to check in on things. She got a chuckle out of me from some of the quotes attributed.
Necheles asked her about the number of porn films she’s written and directed, and said, “You have a lot of experience making phony stories about sex.”
“Wow. That’s not how I would put it," Daniels replied. "The sex in the films is very much real, just like what happened to me in that room” with Trump. She added, "If that story was untrue, I would’ve written it to be a lot better.”
Asked if she’d promised people she’d be instrumental in putting Trump in jail, Daniels said, “No.” Necheles then asked her about a social media post where someone had called her a human toilet, and Daniels responded, “Exactly! Making me the best person to flush the orange turd down.” Necheles asked if that meant she’d be instrumental in getting rid of him. Daniels said it was “hyperbole.” “I’m also not a toilet,” she said.
@MrVilliam@lemmy.world called it saying it would get cringey and gross. The “phony stories about sex” line from Necheles is awful stuff.
The real money shot was when she said: “If I was making up my story it would have been a lot better.”
Thank you! I don’t know wth happened but that line was the whole reason I took that quote and apparently failed to get her response into my clipboard.
Damn she’s on it. I’ve heard other interviews by her on radio shows years ago and she’s definitely not a moron like these people think. I bet they didn’t expect her to use the word hyperbole lul.
It’s been an hour. Is everyone ok?
No the court room still smells like he shit has pants
Hopefully not
Why is she returning to the stand? Doesn’t she just need to testify that they had sex, and later she received hush money? That doesn’t sound like it requires two days.
To be honest, I want to know as little as possible about what went on in that hotel room. Barf.
Trumps lawyers get a chance to question her in order to make the jury question whether her testimony is truthful or not. They’re likely going to drag out her entire life story as a porn star to try to make her look bad.
Then the prosecution gets to redirect.
Having sat on a jury myself I can tell you that the whole process is very time consuming. Lawyers raise objections, stopping everything and requiring the judge to make a ruling. Occasionally an objection or something else can result in a sidebar where the judge & lawyers huddle to discuss details before the judge rules on something. And there are times the jury may be removed from the courtroom so some issue can be discussed/argued at length, after which the jury is brought back in and the judge then might explain why they were removed and the results of their discussion.
They’re likely going to drag out her entire life story as a porn star to try to make her look bad.
It’s gonna get cringey and gross. They’ll ask how many men she’s had sexual relationships with, how many of those were in exchange for money (conflating porn with prostitution), asking what she had to gain from speaking out, what she did with the hypothetical money, asking whether paid NDAs are illegal or even abnormal, etc. They’re gonna try to harm her character and then distract from the actual crime which was that trump used campaign funds for this and didn’t report it as such. She’s gonna get dragged through the mud like Monica Lewinsky. She’s brave for going through with this to make sure he faces some amount of accountability. It would be so easy for her to just give up rather than become targeted for speaking up. She’s far from perfect, but we should all admire her tenacity.
Is Stormy Daniels more brave than trump?
All day long. Always has been.
She is currently being cross examined by Trump’s team. They’re trying to discredit her testimony and say she made up the encounter.
Assuming she made it up, why did Trump pay her hush money for a made up story? And why didn’t he sue her for libel or slander?
Probably defense cross examination
