    Are we going to do this “making history” bit with every phase of the trial?

    “Prosecutors made history by calling their first witness…”

    “End of historic first day of a President on trial…”

    “First ever bathroom break in the historic trial of Former President Trump. Sources close to the President say he didn’t wash his hands (or his ass, from the smell of it).”

    I mean, I get it. We’re all excited to hope that he might finally be held accountable for some of his crimes. And it is a big deal that he’s on trial, but like… Can you just let us know when he actually faces consequences?

      It’s perhaps a bit tin-foil hat, but I think this is the kind of wording that the right (and Trump) want to be used. If after an “unprecedented” and “legendary” trial nothing happens (or a verdict is delayed until after he wins) then the spin will be that he faced the most persecution of any president, and walked away in charge.

      “a historic day in the court room today, as the court recessed for 15 minutes for a diaper change–interrupting the testimony from the very first witness called by the state.”
