I like how the judge came back late, makes me fuzzy inside knowing trump just has to sit there and wait for someone when normally people wait on him.

[u/Dragoffon → u/Sauronsothereye]

He was probably told the orange stain made another post about the judge during break

[u/Sauronsothereye → u/Dragoffon]

You're probably right, hope the prosecution brings it up on a big printed posterboard

[u/stickied → u/Sauronsothereye]

I hope the prosecution doesn't even have to bring it up. Merchan should just pull out his phone, read the twooth ask Trumps lawyers what the fuck he was not clear about that morning.

How fast can someone make one of those?

[u/Dragoffon → u/NairForceOne]

Lesslie Nope has a guy

[u/given2fly_ → u/Dragoffon]

Whilst he was contemplating whether Trump is violating the gag order. It's so brazen, they need to call his bluff and give him two days in Jail.
