Things are getting interesting over here. There is going to be violence somewhere over this, eventually.

He goes to court on Tuesday I believe? Have you seen what he has called the judge before he is even in the court? He could get 90 days for contempt without even opening his mouth (with luck).

He'll probably never see a jail cell, not even for the classified stuff, sad to say. It's where he belongs, as far as I'm concerned.

we'll see how he behaves in the arraignment, and how his various minions behave around the country. i think that will set the tone for what follows, at least in the short term.

That mug shot!

Apparently this is an example of the 'Kubrik Stare'.

...Which was monetized with impressive immediacy. You can has mugshot mugs, because you can do stuff like take shots out of a mug, but also T-shirts and a whole bunch of other merch. Read in our media that the sales already passed ten mill US.

I must admit, I kinda' want one of them mugs - just for the cheap puns.

The world is closing in on Mr. Trump. He has appeared in court where his usual arrogance and demonstrative facial expressions have not served him well.

He was recentl burdened by a gag order which he promptly violated. The poor man is incapable of keeping his mouth shut. Today a court Judge fined him $10k for ignoring the gag order. More to come I suspect.

Meanwhile his many former acolytes have thrown him under the legal bus, better to save their own asses.

 ;D

The fall from an elevation of extreme wealth to prison has to be about as far as a person could fall, methinks. IMO, he's had enough wealth to shield him from prosecution. He used to be able to fend off lawsuits just by being wealthy. One can buy "justice" to a point. The Federal well of money is deep. I hope that the US doesn't spend a billion on his prosecution, though it would be worth it, in the long run.

How come no contempt of court?

incremental, i guess. money is the only currency trump values. if he was cited for contempt and imprisoned he would just sell coffee mugs. making him pay money is possibly the best motivator.

5000, 10000 . . . maybe the next time is 20 000?
