Definitely mixed feelings.
I really hate the idea of giving him any platform to try to turn the trial into a reality shit show. The worst thing that you can do with an attention seeking child is to give them attention.
The flip side is transparency. The more transparency, the less opportunity for outright lies about the process. No amount of truth and reality will matter to the kool-aid chuggers, but there are still some with one foot still in reality.
It is nothing to do with transparency. Courtrooms are open to the public in most cases and open the press in all cases. Written transcripts are widely available. It is nothing to do with being able to tell what’s happening inside it’s the ability of the media to be able to dice and cut little clips for their segments little blurbs little gachas little reaction shots with no context that they can feed to their viewers without any sense of journalistic integrity. Cameras in a courtroom are only about sensationalist media. They have always and always will uproot the actual movement of Justice. We’ve seen it before we’ll see it again here, but probably worse since it’s him.
Yeah the OJ trial was a disaster.
oj shut the fuck up…
Also had amazing mime skills. 😄
We can splice and dice as watchers now too, CSPAN lets you pick and choose.
No amount of transparency will prevent his outright lies. It’s going to be a total shit show.
Hopefully any kind of jury isn’t shown on camera otherwise this is doxxing.
Way too early for a jury, but when cameras are in courtrooms they’re not allowed to do things like show the jury, or show witnesses or evidence that the judge rules must remain confidential. Any violation and the photographer could be held in contempt.
Nothing is going to stop the outright lies
He’s a bitch when around anyone with any real authority. I’m for it. I want his followers to see how weak, pitiful, and guilty he really is.
They will never see that no matter what though. Their feeble minds cannot handle being slightly wrong. Let alone collosally so.
Spin it for them. It’s not that they were wrong, but rather Trump lied to them and he made them look bad.
They would be out for blood
No, they will dance seductively outside his prison window, waving confederate flags etc.
It’s tough because the last few high profile cases to allow cameras in the courtroom have if anything shown that too much transparency can be a bad thing, especially when you make a spectacle out of a process that anyone who isn’t a trial attorney isn’t going to properly understand, but will certainly draw their own conclusions regardless
Since RICO is likely part of the George indictment, we may get to see Trump/Giuliani/Powell/etc on the stand. That’ll be amazing.
I just hope Nebraska is growing enough corn for the future popcorn needs.

Doubt.
Worker productivity will plummet.
Glad I can listen to the audio while at work at least.
Just like when we were all watching the insurrection instead of working on jan 6th
Me: sorry can’t come into work today, I gotta watch Trump get roasted in Georgia.
Oh dear, fair warning to all. I’ve been edging my justice boner since Trump announced his candidacy back in the olden days. I have been waiting for Trump to go to prison for the final release. If I watch any part of this trial there’s a chance the the Eastern Coast of the USA, Western Coast, Southern Coast, along with Mexico and the Northern Coast, to include Canada will be hit with a tsunami of justice semen.
You have all been warned.
When inside thoughts become outside words
Username fits
This patriot has the bluest balls in the country. I do hope my basement doesn’t flood, the forecast for my area sounds pretty dire.
Trump gets his circus but will he be the main act or a sideshow?

Does anyone know why they don’t allow cameras in federal courtrooms? I’m curious if there’s a good reason for it, or if it’s one of these weird laws from a time before cameras.
I believe cameras aren’t allowed in federal courtrooms because it prevents jurors from being identified and threatened/blackmailed.
I’m going to assume it’s because of the shitshow that was the OJ trial.
This time the glove will fit with his tiny hands
This will only help his campaign, unfortunately.
It’s hard to say. Honestly, I think the GOP is in a pinch. They want the turnout that trump affords them but they also want him out of the way as clean as possible. When MAGA people come to the realization that the GOP is trying the bait and switch, shit will really get spicy.
Exactly this. This was a lesson learned in 1923 that we seem to have forgotten a hundred years later.
May I ask for some context in this comment? I don’t know what happened in 1923.
The world took first took note of him during his 24-day trial on charges of treason.
“if”
lol
Yeah. I wonder “if” fire is actually hot or “if” the ocean is wet.
Can confirm, fire hot, ocean wet, trump guilty
Ohh, this is gonna be great lmao. Any guesses on how Donny is gonna spin his propaganda in the courtroom?
I just want to see his illiterate ass get asked to read something out loud
Honestly that spin sounds like a pretty good reason to keep the media out.
🍿🍿🍿
It’s such a common everyday occurrence now, may as well.
Kinda weird it doesn’t really say why. Like in practice maybe it doesn’t matter but I’m curious if this is a “in this state we always allow cameras and we’re not making an exception” ruling or a “this is in the public interest” ruling.
McBurney apparently leans towards broadcasting everything.
I can see him quiet and pouting on camera like the little man-baby he was with Putin. And taking the 5th on everything.
💀
Ugh. Terrible decision. Cameras in a court room have never brought us anything but miscarriage of justice. With Trump it’s gonna be even worse.
You obviously didn’t watch the Alex Jones trial, that was amazing.
Or the one where Giuliani cut the cheese. I had a good chuckle
Giuliani is the epitome of sophomoric humor and I’m here for it. I love a good old dude trying to sneak a fart that he probably can’t hear, hair coloring sliding down his face or him going to the Four Seasons Landscaping Company instead of the Four Seasons Hotel everyone knows. It’s like a weird comedy we’re in.
