as a reporter, the part of this that i’ve simply never understood is how the next person to ask a question when he does something like this doesn’t simply repeat the question that set him off. it’s not just solidarity with your colleague, it’s an important question that remains worth asking
I’m not going to pretend it’s easy to say something in the moment when you witness the president do this and you’re aboard Air Force One with all the uniformed officers and secret service and fancy wood accents, but this is really an instance where you should. people.com/donald-trump...

This is hilarious because the judge thinks people “don’t understand the facts” because he could only accept or reject this terrible, terrible plea deal, not alter it. No, dummy, people expected you to reject a deal so vile.
