Maybe you should have stayed awake instead of farting yourself to sleep every day.

Honest question. How did we get here? How are we discussing the very real world situation where an elderly sex offender who probably won't see a jail, (but absolutely would if he had been just some nobody) is running for president, again........
Against another elderly man, whom everybody seems to dislike but everybody is going to vote for again because the other guy is even worse.
Both candidates very well could die in the next 4 years, and the stress of the job dramatically increases those odds.
Biden is older at 81, while trump is 77 (according to google), but Biden is much more physically healthy, whereas if Weeble-Wobbles wanted to make a trump liscensed Weeble-Wobble they wouldn't need to make a new body shape for them. Just use the existing shape.
How did we get here? How did we get to the point where everything sucks, everybody knows it sucks, but we're just supposed to along with it......and we do!
So now we get to watch as a clearly mentally incomplete elderly man falls asleep, and farts in the court room. I'm unclear if its illegal to do that, but you have to imagine whomever the judge was had to be offended at the very least. With anyone else, I'd say it's a bad idea to piss off the judge of your case. In this case though, I'm not sure it matters. He doesn't face responsibility for anything. He doesn't care. This is all a mockery to him.
HOW DID WE GET HERE????
First past the post's logical conclusion Also paying for sex is not a crime, neither is paying them to shut up about it. Why can't they use his other real crimes instead of that monica lewinsky bullshit ?
Getting a blowjob wasn't the crime. Lying under oath was the crime.
Same with this. The sex and hush money isn't a crime, it's the false business records that are
Makes sense, feels like low hanging fruit with sex based humiliation on the part of the prosecution. I wish they'd go against his worst, actual crimes, especially the presidential crimes and neuter future presidents from doing those crimes as well.
