Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
I will, because not everyone has the time or the desire to go to a news site and get blasted with ads and tracking cookies for an article they are only marginally interested in. So here's the rest:
You also missed the part when, after the deposition was over, Trump's lawyers, who we all know now are incompetent and inattentive to details, immediately sprung up to confirm that they were now off the record. They knew what he was going to say.
That means they had to plan it. Trump must have gone to them ahead of time and said "I'm gonna call her a cunt straight to her face, and there's nothing you can do to make me stop". So they had to enact a strategy to make sure it didn't get into the record. And then, they probably had to snicker a bit to prove they thought the joke was totally OK and they really got her good.
I really do imagine that everyone of them has to fake laugh at all his jokes. I bet there's always a stare and a long uncomfortable silence whenever someone doesn't react quick enough, like you see in the movies.
Having to be a personal sycophant to that jerk is arguably close to selling your soul to the devil.
Devils at least hold up their end of a bargain. Sure, they may try to trick you, but they don't withhold their end of am agreement. What do you think the odds are that these lawyers are going to be paid in full?
Similar story.
After catching Covid, he wanted to leave the hospital wearing a Superman shirt. Someone had to talk the President of the United States out of acting like a child.
Man, I remember that. Then they lied to the country about how sick he really was. They had discussions about whether he should go to the hospital or not and ultimately they decided he was getting worse and worse and that he had to go right then so that he could be seen walking to the helicopter. If they had waited, he would not have then able to walk. Of course he was vaccinated and immediately got the best care, I wonder how many of his dumbass supporters died because they figured "well Trump lived without vaccinations or a mask, I will too."
Reminds me of a different story.
After he noped out of the WW1 Centennial ceremonies because it was raining, they had to arrange a photo op of him going to Arlington in the rain to place flowers. Ignoring the fact that he could have gone to Arlington every day of his Presidency...
I don't think that's true at all. It sounds like day 1 material for "lawyering for cunts school". Like if you've just had a tense meeting with the opposition, and your client is a childish idiot, then of course he's going to try a parting jibe. You would absolutely 100% pop up and say "that's it folks off the record now LOL"
I can't imagine a better response even if she knew what he meant. "What do you mean Donald? Our meeting is Wednesday, did you forget?"
My hero.
No seriously I really didn't want to deal with that.
