If I had a dollar for every time I’ve thrown up in my mouth when the prosecutor pulls out a stack of my client’s emails that I’ve never seen before....

Good/bad strategy aside, there’s also the possibility that his lawyer didn’t know about these texts. It’s not uncommon for clients to “forget” to tell their own lawyers about bad facts until confronted with them by the other side.

I don’t even think he gives a shit about her forgiveness, he’s just putting feelers out to see if she’s going to tell on him.

You can’t “make” something hearsay. This is not hearsay.*

I don’t buy that. Like Tom pointed out, Trump needs the media more than the media needs Trump. He might whine loudly on Twitter about how unfair the horrible, horrible reporter treated him, but he wouldn’t blacklist a network — he’s too addicted to the attention and the free advertising.

OMG exactly. I’m so tired of reporters letting him give insane answers without any follow-up or push-back because they are so anxious to get to the rest of their questions. Every interview seems to go the same:

Damn, Diana. You took me from mild curiosity to anger to disgust and finally tears by the time I got to the last two paragraphs. This is so good, and so fucking sad. You are very much appreciated.

I suspect many people defend drunk drivers because most people, unfortunately, have driven drunk at some point, so it’s one of those “there but for the grace of god go I” things.

But the ONLY reason he made his return to the Mets is because he beat the shit out of his wife. Remember, he was under contract with Rockies, who wanted so little to do with his abhorrent actions off the field that they cut him loose despite still owing him tens of millions of dollars.

In addition to mechanics, it’s the fact that he’s being more selective. He used to rely heavily on his ability to hit virtually any pitch, no matter how far outside of the strike zone (there’s an amazing highlight from a couple years ago of him cracking a line drive on a pitch so high he literally had to jump to reach…

Why the fuck is an NBA Twitter guy writing puff pieces about NFL players for ESPN, anyways?

Please, show me where the rape threats are in Rovell’s mentions? Show me where someone tweets his home address and threatens to murder his family? These women would KILL to only have to deal with the “vitriol” in Rovell’s mentions. And if you seriously can’t comprehend the difference between “delete your account” and…

A title winner which, by the way, he broke up as soon as the confetti settled, never to win a playoff series again.

My family came over on a boat from Eastern Europe around the turn of the century (er, not this last turn of the century, the one before), and like many of their fellow immigrants, had their impronouncable, consonant-heavy last names changed to whatever the dude working at Ellis Island that day thought he heard.
