We were fortunate with last night’s weather. All of the Vances, including the baby chicks, are fine. They spent their first night in the big coop with all of the grown-ups and were waiting for me this morning, having followed the big chickens down the ladder. They were peeping for breakfast when I got there.
This is one of those messages that I'm never quite sure how to take. It seems like some judges are finally standing up to Trump's BS, and that makes me feel a tiny bit hopeful. But tomorrow will bring some other set-back, and hope will once again be difficult to attain. I don't know how all sane Americans are handling this as we enter what, Year #9 of Trumps derangement! For tonight, I'm gonna have a little hope! Anyone else?
He's running us around in circles...What a tangled web he's got us in!. If we try to understand and keep track of this, we are submerged by it. Trump rides, skims the waves avoiding the undertow... his lawyers keeping him on top afloat, for now. Trump is trying to bring down the country, this very system that is holding him up by people abiding by its laws, rules and norms, and whose patience does not seem to run out. He's out on a ledge... or gangplank. I would rather that somehow we would know and it could be ajudicated that Trump is mentally unfit and he should never get near the office of president of the US again.
Trump is an inveterate bully. Just imagine the motives of the lawyers who agree to work for him!!! Do they feel any shame? Or was that not taught in Law School?
Not that it's in any way earthshaking, but certainly illustrative: the NY Supreme Court has sent back Trump's $175MM appeal bond paperwork for a re-do. Conveniently forgot (among other things) to include the required financial statement. Probably still making that up at the time. Wonder how many billable hours went into the incorrect submission ?
The DA cites the Ethics Advisory Committee’s opinion, "A relative's independent political activities do not provide a reasonable basis to question the judge's impartiality." Hmm. I can see the Thomases using this.
I don’t want to come back as a chicken myself but I can see others for good reason. It is nice to see, hear and read public officials not putting up with the nonsense that Trump throws at the court system. I hope the Supreme Court takes notice that having a spine is an advantage to holding up the rule of law and the constitution. Thanks Joyce and glad the “family” is in safe harbor.
Trump is a psychopathic,narcissistic criminal and should have his feet held to the fire without delay! Everyone knows his strategy! 😡
Still these delays are eating away at my liver like bad whiskey.
Thank you for what you do.
Also, I want to come back as one of your chickens.

I don’t know how you keep on keeping on, Joyce. God bless you.
Let us hope that these clever judges can outsmart Treacherous-treasonous-tantruming-traitor-Trump.
April 15th, no ifs, ands or buts. This is going to happen!
There HAS to be ONE case that goes to trial before the November election.
Thanks for the detailed update, Joyce. You have been able to predict almost everything that TFG has tried and failed to do up to this point.
I’m so glad you and your family survived the nasty weather last night. The latest baby chick pic was a welcome sight😎

The three rules that Trump's then-lawyer, mentor and onetime best friend, Roy Cohn (yes, that Roy Cohn), drilled into the Orange Malignancy:
1. Never settle, never surrender.
2. Counter-attack, counter-sue immediately.
3. No matter what happens, no matter how deeply into the muck you get, claim victory and never admit defeat.
Trump's 4,000+ court cases have been built around those three rules. Mostly to no avail.
I’m starting to feel doubtful that we will ever see justice. He needs to be behind bars.

Once again Thanks Miss Joyce, for Your intensive detailing of the day's legal barbed wire, and for showing Us what's truly important...
Baby Chicks came down the ramp this am !!
Thanks for the life's balance.
