Justice Merchan starts off will the prosecution motion for contempt.
He tells Trump he's about to issue his ruling, in which he will again find Trump in contempt of court.
The last thing I want to do is put you in jail, Justice Merchan says to Trump. You are the former President of the United States and possibly the next President as well.
But "going forward," he continues, "this court will have to consider jail sanctions" if necessary.
@tdwllms1@GottaLaff Some wag of a YouTube lawyer said that Merchan many give him a time out. For an example, an hour in a holding cell. Or, he may hold him after the trial until some late hour so the only press left is the bottom of the barrel.
When all the unhoused people in the United States are moved into camps, go visit them and explain through the fence that you didn’t vote because of Gaza.
@StillIRise1963 Oh about half of them will already be in the camps.
His cult followers do not realize he despises them.
He has said he is going to suspend sheriff pose comitatus and round them up using the military.
It will be an "official act" that SCOTUS has insinuated would be legal.
The mugwomps will be the easiest to get out of the way.
@br00t4c "His followers" means the bottom feeders that are core members of the cult.
Even among "his followers" between 10 and 20% will walk away if he is convicted.
@StillIRise1963 I lived in Alabama for 35 years. I believe it. Since I moved back up north, it is more subtle, but it is still there. I give a 100% discount on my assessment of any person who says "All black people..." Before the finish their sentence, I am working on how to avoid them in the future.
@LiberalEd@GottaLaff NFL According to O'Donnell, when he said he wasn't "allowed to testify", TFG was confusing it was the fact that the gag order prohibited him from answering the question that was asked...in other words, "No comment". But TFG is such a stable genius he doesn't know the difference.
If you get mad when you see employees at a business you are patronizing laughing, enjoying each other's company, and goofing off, you're a dick. Empathize with people working a shitty underpaid job, and let them enjoy what little fun they get.
@kerouac666@RickiTarr I am really surprised that there is not an OSHA regulation against it. There is absolutely no reason a clerk can't be seated, most of the time. They may have to get up to scan certain merchandise.
In fact there is no reason that reasonable accommodation cannot be made for wheelchairs. There is no reason the register station cannot be set up to put the clerk at eye level when seated.
@samhainnight@kerouac666@RickiTarr Maybe we need to figure out how to address this. This is unnecessary physical stress on the employee. As was pointed out, this is mainly a problem in big box stores. Frankly, complaining to them is like spitting in the ocean...even their website.
Directly to OSHA?
Letters to the editor?
Maybe, if a journalist is reading this, he or she could write an article about it.
I told y'all, cops don't do what you think they do.🤷🏿♂️
Black folk know this from lived experience. Some white folk only learn this when they go to report a theft or sexual assault and find out that the $11B/year NYPD are not equipped to handle that.
@mekkaokereke The protesters at Columbia are mostly very well to do. Some of them are Jews. It sure would be sweet for one of the to sue this cop and the NYPD for defamation of character and denying them a fair trial because of the false pretrial publicity they created.
@mekkaokereke Yes. But remember they can be. Remember that some of these trust funds would put a major lawsuit in chump change. Remember the Chief is a political appointee. That he can be. This cop can be called to testify under oath that he lied to the press or he was misinformed and will have to point a finger up the command structure, which will ruin his career.
@mekkaokereke It would seem that a responsible press should be putting that up. The officer said, xxx but we have found the first LEO statements have been factually incorrect and are investigating the truth since they are unable to.
@StillIRise1963 Note to other white people. If you really examine yourself, you will find that you are to some degree, racist.
It isn't because you are an evil person, it is because the media from which you get your information is racist. Ergo, you have biases that you may not even be aware of.
One thing is for sure. If you ever have to say, "I'm not racist, but..." you ARE racist.
@Eka_FOOF_A@GottaLaff They are not Checker (but then, look what happened to them) they have not update their models significantly for years.
You need to look at the innovations in other cars. For example, his so called Full Self Driving is still not at Level 3. Honda and Mercedes are shipping Level 3. The former does not have a subscription on the service and the latter is minor compared to the cost of the car. Toyota's TSS 4 will be at Level 3.
Three Chinese manufactures are shipping Level 4.
@golgaloth The other day, I found out that cheetahs in captivity like humans, they purr, meow, and hiss like housecats. Now, if we could teach one to be a house guard...I don't see anyone running away from them.
@GottaLaff I'm waiting for Carroll to hit him with a billion dollar lawsuit.
I'm hoping she'll come out with statement that she'll take Trump Tower for that and rename it
Me Too Tower.
@Sherifazuhur@israel The important thing to note is that some consumer quad copters are capable of handling a heavy payload.
Swarms of quad copters can be used to disperse them in a preset patterns.
Any quad copter can be turned into a weapon
@Sherifazuhur@israel I was thinking that the Israelis were giving lessons to terrorists throughout the world.
How about an armed drone "light show" at a major sporting event?
@thepoliticalcat@TCatInReality@benroyce@GottaLaff I actually find it amusing that the GOP wants to nuke Gaza. The prevailing wind is westerly to north westerly. That means nuking Gaza will kill millions of Europeans with the fallout. Also, local fallout from a nuclear event will affect everyone out to Be'er Seva and Ashdod.
It would probably kill more Jews than the Holocaust.
@gratefuldread The Judge needs to extend the gag order to anything about the trial and to put on notice than anyone helping him post on the subject will be jailed.
