Trump has now attended several proceedings linked to his civil and criminal trials and has been disruptive at some of them.

When he showed up in January for a trial in Manhattan to determine how much money he would have to pay the writer E. Jean Carroll, he made noises of disgust and muttered so loudly that the judge, Lewis Kaplan, admonished him.

During closing arguments by Carrollā€™s lawyer, Trump went so far as to abruptly stand up and walk out of the courtroom. At another point, when the jury wasnā€™t present, Kaplan threatened to remove Trump from the room.

The judge ā€œadmonished himā€ and ā€œthreatened to remove Trump.ā€ Lots of WHY I OUGHTA and fist shaking there, I bet Trump was worried he might have to stand in the corner or not get a snack.

How we got here: Attorney General Merrick Garland proceeded with by-the-book caution in the election interference investigation that led to an indictment against Trump, but he may have made a mistake by not recognizing that he could end up racing the clock.

LOL. We STILL have people pretending that the 2024 election somehow caught Garland by surprise instead of him viewing it as the finish line he needs to cross to be able to say ā€œthe people will decideā€ and wash his cowardly hands of this mess instead of seeing it through.

Under the fuck you theory of law.

At some point the blame has to fall on Biden for the most disastrous appointment in my lifetime.

Apparently Trump made the appointment by thinking about it.

Just some lite hostage taking of your opponent campaign stuff. Perfectly normal

Any of us do that and we are sitting in an FBI interrogation room by now.

I think youā€™re right. With as many crazy zombie cultists as he has, itā€™s amazing authorities donā€™t take the danger he poses more seriously than they do. What this speaks to for me, is the unlimited power of the presidency (and former presidency). I assume Obama could get away with shit like this too?

Iā€™m sure the Secret Service will take this just as seriously as they took Kathy Griffin pretend posing with Trumpā€™s severed head.

Maybe you guys donā€™t live in some of the wilder parts of the country, but Iā€™ve seen fully a half dozen pickup trucks with wraps on the tailgate they look like Biden is tied up in the bed. The FBI ainā€™t calling anyone.

Seems like a fun opportunity to write down license plate numbers and call the FBI so that they do

Norms! Time for a strongly worded letter. Dems engage!

Probably the only thing he could do that would actually cost him votes.
