When we posted a parody of the arraignment of the disgraced former president, some readers saw an allusion to a law firm that advertises on bus benches. We cannot be responsible for what you read into our posts. But then soon after, Vanity Fair, while not the blog, no slouch in the media world, had this story with this headline:
Trump Basically One Day Away From Hiring a Lawyer Who Advertises on the Side of a Bus to Defend Him
Really. You can see the story here.
Much discussion on who will represent the prior president. You are missing the point. It's not the lawyers now. They will be fired or resigned. It's not the second round as they will be fired or resign. It's the third round, when the trial is six weeks out and Judge Cannon Middlebrooks (Moreno!!!??) denies a motion to continue and he needs counsel.
TRANSITIONAL OBJECTS
We had occasion to speak with a prominent forensic psychologist. She gave us some interesting insights. A child's stuffed animal is a transitional object they use for comfort as separation with their parents occurs (pre-school, daycare, etc). The object provides comfort to the scared child.
The former president charged in federal court was known to have a habit of bringing boxes of personal items with him when he traveled. Deeds to property, leases, bank statements, magazines in which there were articles about him. This was long before he entered and exited the presidency.
Transitional objects also may serve negative functions like fantasies of grandiose power and the need for that power to cover up deeper feelings of weakness and inadequacy.
When a transitional object is taken away, there are common responses of sadness, anger, and rage, as well as the failure to pay for food at certain Miami restaurants after promising to do so. (Is dine-n-dash a federal crime?)
Just some amateur psychology to explain why a loser kept boxes in his bathroom.
The more I hear about the man - the more I must meet “Judge” Hanzy. He is a movie star stud with incredible and magnificent genius. I find that sexy. No one compares. I MUST HAVE YOU HANZY. Let’s go to dinner at Prime 112 and then go make out on the beach at night. You can have your way with me. I love a man in control. The man is the boss of US. Your pleasure is a priority to me. I miss you handsome Hanzy. Send me a signal. I would leave my boyfriend for you. Coco is a movie star too, but I think commitment phobic perhaps. Maybe a threesome ? Thoughts?
ReplyDeleteThe only question I ask of “Brand New Asst. Public Defender” at 1:26am …
ReplyDeleteWhy Prime 112?
Every other thought, I understand.
How disappointing to read that poorly researched Vanity Fair Article.
ReplyDeleteThey slamed Ben Kuehue without naming him. But we all knew who is was when VF referred to the riduculous indictment in 2008 and the even more ridiculous mountain out of a molehill fiasco with that bent out of shape moron Judge over a "photo" Khuene did not even take.
I agree with 9:31. The Vanity Fair article implied that Ben is some kind of unqualified hack. Those of us who know him know that he is the type of thoughtful, intelligent attorney that Trump would be lucky to have (which is not likely).
ReplyDeleteBen advertises on bus benches? I don't get out enough.
ReplyDeleteWhat a dumb article. Ben is a top tier lawyer. Not his fault some kid took that picture.
