I was sitting right next to him.

I’d guess he’ll make a comment about it. I sure hope so, anyway!

Keep giving him a stomach ache, Mr. O’Donnell!

It was nearly a year before someone used the term. Being first is a point of pride for O'Donnell.

Lawrence O'Donnell has been trashing Trump for years, and this is the first I've heard of any kind of response by Trump.

over the years. O'Donnell stated Trump would never do so because he (O'Donnell) knows his secret including that he can't afford to do so. Trump has never sued. What secret Lawrence knows is unclear and he has retracted a poorly sourced comment about TSF and Russia in 2019, but otherwise, LO has Trump's number it would appear.

It scales this whole pile of crap down.

And now, inside, in the same row. President Sociopath gets smaller and smaller every time he's put in context.

SO glad O'Donnell is freaking Trump out. O'Donnell has a bigger day/night audience than Trump has.

Trump left the courtroom, squinting strangely at Lawrence O’Donnell, the MSNBC host, as he did.

TFG is all about retribution; O'Donnell, Maddow, the whole MSNBC team would get executed if Trump had his way.
The corrupt SCOTUS would allow him to shoot someone, amirite?
He'll ditch Posse Comitatus, he'll enable Project 2025. Hell on wheels.

Lawrence since he attempted to get good press in his initial run for president, by making a donation to Lawrence's fund to buy desks for African school students. Lawrence returned the check, and made an equal donation to the fund. When Lawrence provided coverage on his show, the defendant was furious.

The joker is right only thing thing the fictional Joker managed to create a mob to come to his rescue. Donald Trump is a nightmare out of a comic and also a poor failing authoritarian. Lawrence just kicked him in in the mouth. Trump deserves no mercy.

given the opportunity.

Since we’re on the topic of news hounds TSF hates, where is Jorge Ramos this election cycle? He could maybe trigger Putin’s fanboy into a fatal stroke. We need to try everything.
