The Idiocracy of Donald J. Trump

I wonder whether this might be the point where Trump starts running on reforming the judiciary.

Well, sure if you spell 'reform' "S" "H" "I" "T" "C" "A" "N"

Exactly—I’ve been using the word “reform” in the sense of blowing up the makeup for the current judiciary, then forming it anew with all new appointments. I did not mean it in the sense of re-educating current judges.

I’d been thinking he would do it as way to tap into the whole anti-deep-state sentiment in general, and as a way to consolidate even more power unto himself, but now that they’ve basically closed down his core New York business down, I could see it being more of a personal grudge now. He would talk about that part, although I would think his surrogates would focus more on something like outrageous woke rulings.

the MAGA cult is gone in a sea of anger, stupidity and conspiracy theories; unreachable, and many would gladly die for him

But I hope that for those on the margins of MAGA, stuff like this helps wake them up

maybe I am an idiot, but I think every little bit helps

The only way to shut him up might be with an actual gag and some duct tape

If the government does not come down on Trump soon and start treating him like the criminal defendant that he is, without the special favor they appear to have been showing him so far, then maybe we truly are doomed as a functioning rule-of-law democracy. Only they can prevent forest fires here, and Trump has been flicking matches with impunity so far.

Why did they not realize they could easily get free water during devastating droughts?  I think Trump sometimes says stupid stuff like this just for attention, but the amazing part was they all cheered.

LOL!!!  Did you see the lady sitting on Trump's legal team at the front of the courtroom?  She looks exactly like the lady who plays Melania on the Colbert show, sucking in her cheeks.

I think that's his main lawyer.  You can tell why he hired her.

I would love to see the judge (or any judge in a Trump trial) to pull a Julius Hoffman and physically gag Trump ala Bobby Seale in the Chicago 7 trial

[1984Echoes]

I'd love to see him spend 30 days in jail and pay a $500K fine for Contempt of Court.

He wants to force the Judge to put him in jail. But like most bets Trump makes, he will lose this one. I hope they give him a haircut when they hand him his orange jumper.

The mental image of what Trump would look like after 30 days of no hair care products and spray tan has me rolling.

Trump's limitless stupidity may save us all yet; as Chutkan considers the "gag order" in DC, a lowly NY judge issues his own after Trump attacks his clerk. Obviously need to eventually issue one in every case, though Loose Cannon will let him rant freely.

[1984Echoes]

Trump is actually following Roy Cohn's playbook: be as combative as possible. Attack judges, prosecutors, the legal process itself. Flood the court or adversary with countersuits and delaying motions.

But Drumpf and his coterie of weak-imitation-of-Roy-Cohn-lawyers are finally being caught up to... 

Slap ALL of them with contempt. Jail and high-$ cash fines.

I'm sure he will comply completely, since Trump respects nothing more than law and order. 🙄

I knew he was a fraud 40 years ago.

Yes.

"Legitimate Fraud for Over 40 Years".

Sounds exactly correct.
