Anyone else tired of hearing about Trump lashing out?

[JamesBrown-sieu]

Different laws for the rich and mighty. An ordinary citizen gets put in jail for far less.

[Grammygirl]

As a court reporter, I once reported a trial where the judge held one of the attorneys in contempt, and the attorney spent three days in jail while we suspended the trial and waited for him to get out. It was brilliant!

[morrisphillips]

The payments weren't alleged, they were paid.

[soulman]

Put him in solitary. Let him lash out at the walls, I'm sick of hearing it.

[vernalc]

Soo, he was fined for violating the gag order and threatened with jail, so he went out and violated it again?

[Ddarke]

The wall must be full of ketchup by now.

[jamesyates]

By being found guilty of contempt of court, he has violated the conditions of the bonds in his other cases.

He always says the same thing. "No one has ever seen anything like this, its a sham, it is a witch hunt...blahblahblahblah" broken record.

[justsayin]

Once again today, after court, he claimed not to know E. G. Carrol. The dunce is incapable of shutting up.

[JoDdy-]

Which legal scholars are saying the judge should recuse himself? Nobody that Trump knows is a legal scholar

[argophontes]

Oh, look, yet another slap on the wrist, surely 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 time he'll take it seriously 🙄

[gladitude]

He needs to name ONE ‘legal scholar’ who thinks the trial is a sham. Fool.

[justsaying]

He just "can't"/ won't SHUT UP!!

[tonitahenry]

He is the “FORMER” President, not “THE” President.

[Paine]

Can the decades of KFC-heart-abuse kick in already.

[geewiizi]

Name three legal scholars who say this.

[ramonamaynard]

He needs to be held accountable like every other American.

[raymonddipasquale]

tRump, I am innocent of all charges but I demand immunity

[castanza]

For NINE COUNTS of contempt of court, he got fined 0.0003% of his daily income.
It's like fining me a dime.
