              Amusing expose of working in the Trump Hotel restaurant the past four years:

              https://www.washingtonian.com/2021/0...=pocket-newtab

              Directions for pouring the soda were detailed in a process no fewer than seven steps long—and illustrated with four photo exhibits. The beverage had to be opened in front of the germophobe commander in chief, “never beforehand.” The server was to hold a longneck-bottle opener by the lower third of the handle in one hand and the Diet Coke, also by the lower third, in the other. Once poured, the drink had to be placed at the President’s right-hand side. “Repeat until POTUS departs.”

                That is not a good diet for someone in their 70s. It's probably the fact that he's never smoked or drank alcohol that's keeping a massive heart attack away.

                  You can tell he’s been on the Diet Coke from his slim line figure.

                    My understanding is diet soda can lead to weight gain because it signals to your body that it's getting sugar but doesn't give it, so it makes you feel hungry.

                      Without comment, the Supreme Court has rejected Trump's attempt to block SDNY from getting his taxes.

                        Refused to grant cert, you mean? Or affirmatively rejected?

                            Your understanding is based on weak evidence.

                            "But research into sweeteners and appetite stimulation is inconsistent. Also, there's little evidence from longer term studies to show that sweeteners cause weight gain."

                            There's a little more evidence on the idea that some people who drink diet soda overcompensate because they think they can get away with more cake, but that's not the same thing.

                              Ah, so I presume there's an appeal still pending.

                                Where?

                                This was it. Mazars are going to turn over the documents this week.

                                  What grounds for a stay could there have been if there was no appeal?

                                    I'm not understanding your thought process

                                    The issue is the enforcement of the subpoena against Mazars, which the Second Circuit upheld. Trump appealed to SCOTUS for an emergency stay of that enforcement, which they rejected today

                                    More detail from SCOTUSBlog

                                      This was his last kick at the can, presumably. If Scotus says no, it's done.

                                        My thought process is that I wouldn't expect there to be any reason to even think a court would grant a stay of an already granted order unless that order was subject to appeal (or similar - a stay pending resolution of parallel proceedings or something, but that would ordinarily be in the original order). If there' s no prospect of the order being overturned, what's the point in staying it?

                                          His primary litigation tactic for fifty years has been to delay, especially when there is no reasonable expectation of victory

                                          It is just what he does and has generally served him quite well.

                                              To my eyes, he's either started to actually write his own statements (or rather dictate them and leave someone else to sort out the punctuation) or someone has really nailed his grammatical style and psychological state.

                                                I think someone's giving them a serious edit. He never sounded that coherent writing himself, more entertaining though.

                                                    Does "crazy Nancy" being punctuated in such a way preclude a defamation action?
