Justice Merchan called #Trump’s lawyer to a sidebar to say Trump was “cursing audibly” & possibly intimidating Daniels...
“I understand your client is upset at this pt, but he is cursing audibly & shaking his head visually & that’s contemptuous. It has the potential to intimidate the witness & the jury can see that...I am speaking to you here at the bench because I don’t want to embarrass him. You need to speak to him. I won’t tolerate that.” #TrumpTrial

@GottaLaff
Short fuse is getting shorter. Trump's going to lose his shit before this is over.
@darthstar @GottaLaff Can't wait!!!
@darthstar @GottaLaff Hopefully he implodes into a fatal heart attack and internal organs failure. Win - win!
@johnmastodon @GottaLaff
No...we need him to be alive...miserable, but alive...so he can appreciate the consequences of his actions. Conscious suffering is what he deserves...no escape.
What a SOAB. I HOPE HE ROTS IN HELL.
@DJ_2280 @GottaLaff
I have a dream....
I want 45 to croak in court.
But after verdict is delivered.
At some point his heart has gotta give, given his predilection for hamberders and diet cokes and covfefe and steaks well-done.
But I also want this to happen 48 hours before the general election so the GOP is truly fucked.
Back to reality. Tired of 45 being handled with kid gloves and being given oxygen by the media. Lock him up!
@GottaLaff not embarrass him? Like he’s embarrassing himself and the entire USA because he was a president?
@GottaLaff in other words... the recent 10th fine with the caution of jail of it doesn't stop has already been ignored amd no jail happened. I'm not surprised that it happened, but the speed was impressive
Is this yet another, "this time I really, really, really mean it"?
I get that no judge wants to be the judge that put an ex- US President in jail even for a day, but at some point Justice is regaining her sight.
@GottaLaff side note, gee, I wonder whose side the writer is on
@GottaLaff
"because I don't want to embarrass him"
WTF? REALLY?
@GottaLaff IOW: Give him his binky so he'll sleep again.
@GottaLaff He doesn't play by the same rules. Why do people insist on treating him fairly? Just throw him to jail for a month, no phone, no communication, let him experience no first ammendment!
@johnmastodon That’s how you get the case thrown out. That’s why the judge is being so cautious. We won’t get another shot. This is it.
@GottaLaff he keeps berating and discrediting witnesses on his social media, pushing gag orders, defying subpoenas, I could go on. Just because of those 3 things, anybody else would've been long time ago in jail. That's how JUSTICE gets discredited!
