'So rude of you': GOP lawmaker flustered as he's reminded jury found Trump guilty

Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) became visibly flustered and scandalized on Tuesday in a committee meeting when Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) was forced to remind him it was a jury, and not a judge, who found former President Donald Trump guilty on 34 felony charges of falsifying business records in the state of New York.

"You know, I've sat here for, what, two hours, probably gonna be three or four," said Norman in the footage, which was first highlighted by Meidas Touch's Acyn Torabi. "And listening to these smokescreens that my friends on the other side of the aisle are saying. They bring up the trial of Donald Trump, a convicted felon. Really? By a judge that is a known anti-Trumper?"

'Pure delusion': Trump mocked for claiming his aging 757 is better than Air Force One

Former President Donald Trump has taken to claiming that his old private Boeing 757 jet, often referred to as "Trump Force One," is a more luxurious way to travel than the highly modified Boeing 747 used as Air Force One — a claim that really doesn't make any sense, wrote Jeff Wise for New York Magazine's "Intelligencer."

"He once told Rolling Stone that Air Force One is 'a step down' from his 757 'in every way.' But that’s pure delusion," wrote Wise. "Sure, Trump’s plane is big, and it has a shiny new paint job, but from a true private-jet aficionado’s point of view, those are about its only virtues. 'It’s like if you wanted to brag about having a massive yacht, so you bought the Staten Island Ferry and converted it,' says a private-jet broker who prefers not to be identified. 'That’s not something that people who really know yachts would find impressive.'"
