The judge absolutely should and must not "shrug off" TFG's ongoing attacks.

The next time TFG is in NYC, the judge needs to have him arrested and jailed without bond.

This is crazy ,how much can America put up with from this orange pus bag ?Arrest him and throw him in jail ,show true Americans that you just cannot get away with this childish nonsense no matter who you are.Spank the child and make him stand in the corner.!

Gag orders are meaningless unless strictly enforced. So far the Teflon Don has gotten away with multitudes of egregious gag order violations and frivolous delay tactics with no real consequences whatsoever. Trump pisses and moans about a "two tiered justice system". He's right in one respect, the justice system is two tiered. Except it's tilted at near 90 degree angle in Trump's favor (as it is also for other rich, white, famous, and/or well connected defendants), not ours. If any of us mortals out amongst the great unwashed got in trouble with the law for so much as spitting on the sidewalk and tried one 1/1000th of the shit Trump gets away with on a regular basis bail would be revoked in a NY minute and we'd get hauled off to jail all and left to sit in stir all the way up until trial. It would be even worse for African Americans. Police would just shoot first and ask questions later.

I'm going to hold you to that judge. No more motions entertained. No more continuances. No more delays no matter what the cause.

Get on with the trial. On time. Without delay. From opening statements, to witnesses questioned, to evidence presented, to jury instructions, to jury sequestration, to final verdict, to sentencing.

Without the width of a piece of paper being able to cause any separation on that timeline.

Donald and his demented mind and mouth will be stopped when he's DOA. That's where our
system of justice is at in real time today. How did it ever get this bad that a really stupid deranged psychopath gets to run for president yet again? Wasn't once enough????

Historians 100 years from now in the year 2124 will look back at the first quarter of the 21st century and wonder WTF was wrong with those Republicans? How could a majority of otherwise rational party turn into lemmings following a Pied Piper like Trump over an electoral cliff?

And these Evangelical Christians. Didn't they even read their Bibles? Here you have a presumptive GOP nominee who a) lied about a legitimate election that he lost fair and square, calling it "stolen" and "fraudulent" even though he and everyone around him knew for a fact it wasn't stolen or fraudulent, b) he pushed the Big Lie from before the 2020 election up to this day, in which c) he and his minions tried every dirty trick imaginable to overturn said election up to and including calling on rabid supporters to literally "fight like hell", resulting in a violent insurrection that trashed the Capitol, caused numerous injuries and four deaths to cops, d) has been indicted on 91 criminal counts (since reduced to 88) in four separate jurisdictions, including two state and two federal cases, e) was adjudicated liable in two state level civil cases as a defamer, a de facto rapist, and a business fraud resulting in judgements totaling $537.3 Million. One of the criminal cases involves covering up a hush money payment to what in effect was a tryst with a paid prostitute. Not to mention trashing a JUDGES DAUGHTER repeatedly after being slapped with a gag order. All at the same time blaspheming the Holy Bible as a money grubbing grift to line his own pockets. Not to mention the fact that his "USA Bible" includes the founding documents, Constitution, and Declaration of Independence, Pledge of Allegiance, which violates the spirit if not the letter of 1st Amendment separation of Church and State.

To those Evangelicals I would like them to bookmark these New Testament passages:

Matthew 6, 5:8
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

Matthew 6, 19:24
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Matthew 7, 15:23
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Will somebody put him in Prison please!

"it’s unseemly for a judge or top prosecutor to protect themselves..."
I will never understand why it has become acceptable - the norm - for indicted criminals to insult, defame, threaten, etc. judges and DAs and their families. WHY IS THIS OK ?!?

The New York judge overseeing Donald Trump's hush money case might overlook the former president's attacks on his daughter to avoid delaying the trial, an expert said Friday.
I can see why that might make sense, but it's still a very bad look for the legal system, especially, because the former guy almost always gets away with trying to delay a trial. It just isn't right that judges and their families have to accept what the a-hole tries to do to them.

Remember donald, the judge is sucking it up, knowing that he who sucks it up last, sucks it up worst. You will get yours in the end.

These judges are pretty brave ... a lot braver than the GOnceP pols in Congress, combined.

I'll take a delay if it puts Trump in a cell overnight for contempt. Just one lousy night.

"Suck it up?"

What kind of shit is that? Who else could attack a judge's family and get away with it?

It's just another excuse and example demonstrating that donnie will never be held accountable.

You didn't read nor understand the article, Pete. IF he throws Trump in prison for breakaing gag order, then not only will Trump base threaten more, BUT this will put off the court case and delay it, which is exactly what Trump is trying to do. IF he becomes President, he will throw out and pardon himself from everything. All of them.

You're right. My bad.

We must cower in fear of donnie and his followers.

I forgot about that part.

Silly me.

Wondering why the judge did not include his family in the gag order?

https://uploads.disquscdn.c...

The judge knows what Trump is up to. Trump is trying to incite an angry response from the judge, so after Trump loses his court case, (he will lose) Trump's lawyers can say in their appeal that the judge's open hostility towards Trump tainted the case, so the verdict should be tossed out.

Yeah, and you threaten someone's daughter and then expect them to be civil?

What kind of grounds would be the appeal?

He didn't threaten her, he LIED about her and tried to tie her to Biden.

TFG & his lawyers will make a case claiming judicial prejudice as another delay tactic that will set the trial back another month+. We likely won't be seeing any of the cases against TFG take place before the election. Delay,delay, delay is the only thing the criminal has to avoid prosecution before the election.

The court has never actually enforced a fine on him yet. We hear about them but there is never a follow up on whether he actually paid his fines or not.

Why bother with the gag order when they are not enforced. Very weak on the judges part.

It is absolutely right to do what it takes to let the trial move forward on time. Not only because Trump is desperate to delay, delay, delay, but you can’t put Trump in jail for violating his gag order. It just wouldn’t work. He will pretend to have a heart attack in five minutes and spend the rest of his time in the hospital acting like he’s Jesus on the cross and fundraising off of it. Trying to put him in jail now is not worth it. They have infirmaries at prison. That’s where our focus should be.

That’s why he just needs to be neutralized. Who ever puts him in the morgue will be a national hero.

He's going to delay anyway he can, throw his criminal ass in jail until the trial.

We should all suck it up. Be brave. Be ready. Call them out on all their terroristic threats, and dare them to bring it on.

The Fear of political violence will kill a democracy faster than ACTUAL political violence will.

So yeah. Bring it on Assholes.

If I were Loren Merchan and my Daddy, Judge Juan Merchan did not stand up for me or reprimand some stinking douchebag nazi fuckwad criminal, I would never have anything more to do with him. Ever. That's reprehensible. It's condoning trump's words and actions and letting him get away with it, so his next rhetoric gets a little nastier. Grow a fucking pair of balls there, Judge Merchan and defend your daughter against the antichrist. Fine donaldfuckingtrump $25K each time he violates the gag and throw his fat fucking ass in jail for 24 hours along with it. Everyone is playing trumps game in the legal arena. Time for our judicial system to wake the fuck up, prove that you yourself are not on the trump payroll and show the orange walking abortion that there are implications to violations.
Something of which has not, nor never been done.

Diaper Don’s putting Judge Merchan’s daughter in danger, there will be consequences, despicable defendant will not know when it’s done.

Sadly, this is exactly what TFG is pathetically attempting to do. He is trying to create a delay.

It’s not going to work and the Trial will go ahead.

One of his judges ( I frankly keep up... Maybe E Jean's) sanctioned him twice. After that he pretty much kept his mouth shut. Why this judge do that?

I know it hard dealing with the Orange Dick face. But I would too. He just baiting you as soon as you respond to it…
WHAAAAA Judge is mean to baby Trumpy… WHAAAA. I’m being persecuted. gag ord order, appeal it. He farted in My general direction,, WHHAAAAA!!!

Look at this evil, ugly fuck.

https://www.rawstory.com/me...

I can't wait for the picture with the orange suit.

Sorry, but you'll be waiting in vain.

He cannot escape the stroke he's going to have, that I can tell you.

Why would tossing him in jail slow the trial any more than he is already doing?
He can be locked up, and hauled out for his appearances based on the court schedule, not his. In fact, accelerate the schedule because of this crap

This is how you know that Trump controls the courts. They will cave in to him every time.

Sure looks that way

It's always been that way.

Merchan will get the last laugh when a couple of months down the road he has the pleasure of sentencing Trump after he's found guilty unanimously by the jury of being a criminal...

I see you got jokes.

Ain't shit gonna happen to donnie even if he is convicted. They'll sentence him to a few months probation at best...

And he will still violate the probation and nothing will happen.

Oh, he will of course be found guilty of some charges, perhaps a majority of them. But then, after a phone call from the DOJ explaining the situation, Trump will at worst receive house arrest, and most likely not even that. He will be fined, and his sentence will be suspended when he pays it.

Exactly. If it worked for Paxton in Texas, it will work here.

IF he isn't in jail for the Maralardo documents he isn't going to jail for anything .. EVER.

That case is essentially over before it starts.

It's a NY state case, nothing to do with DOJ...

But tRUMP will be a felon which, according to most if not all polls, kills his chances for the WH. https://www.youtube.com/wat...

You would think so, but apparently being a life long criminal and a convicted rapist is a plus in American politics.

No, not really. tRUMP is losing voters. tRUMP got 51% of the vote in Iowa, 54% in New Hampshire & 60% in South Carolina.
