Donald Trump was fined $10,000 on Wednesday after the New York judge overseeing his civil fraud trial said the former U.S. president violated a gag order for a second time.
Oh no, not $10,000, he’ll never financially recover from that… oh nevermind some moron just donated more than that to him, he’s fine now.
Seriously, what’s it going to take for them to finally throw him in jail? How many more times does he need to ignore court orders and threaten the safety of jurors, judges, and lawyers before they do something with actual consequences for him? If they’re going to keep fining him they need to add a zero or two on there if they want him to actually stop.
The Judge is building a history of contempt charges for the record. Once he has a few more violations he can then throw him in jail and continue with the case.
Just throwing Trump in jail on his first offense means he could use this during his appeal. Having a history of contempt charges before he is out in jail makes it harder to win on appeal.
his defense and his followers call for an mistrial on bias.
They will anyway. Is this really the hill we are going to die on? After 8(?) years of this shit are we really going to keep spouting this rhetoric?
Trump has proven that he intends to keep violating gag orders. So it is not only clean but perfectly within the judicial systems legal power to imprison him. There’s no need to build a case here. Just do it.
The supreme court is extremely corrupt. What do you expect from every lower court when the top is bought and paid for by the oligarchy of which Trump is a front man stooge. This is all just a game of distractions created to control the conversation and maintain the lack of laws and protections at the abysmal state they have been in since the 1980’s. The entire point of everything the GOP touches is the loopholes that allow 750 billionaires to rob the country blind. Everyone that aligns with this is either bought and paid for, or a convenient idiot. The clown show distractions all have fixed outcomes secured well in advance. That is why nothing ever comes of the constant barrage of radical headlines. The headline is not the purpose; controlling the rhetoric is the only goal.

He could throw him in jail, but he won’t.

They NEED the case to go through clean

Next time he gets two ice creams and a comic book! Way to fucking take the gloves off, judge.
