“Nobody forced your client to go do that,” Merchan said.
Blanche replied: “Your honor, I agree with that.”
Okay. So lock him up.

Blanche the attorney might not get paid by Trump after that comment. I hope he received a large retainer paid in advance.

How the fuck did America come to this point? As far as I am concerned it may just be late to save the republic.

And, with that, Blanche just guaranteed he’ll never see another dime from TIFBG. Probably fires the guy over the weekend.

The hearing on Trump’s new contempt of court violations was held this morning. Trump’s lawyer said that he was simply responding to Michael Cohen calling him “Vonshitzenpants.” Story …https://t.co/VWcy5hwddY

AND then Blanche ‘explained’ that BIDEN had joked about Stormy Weather at the Correspondents Dinner so THAT permitted Trump to attack witnesses…The judge noted that Trump was free to attack Biden but…

“He did it. He should not have done it. I apologize for him, but he has difficulty controlling himself in these trying circumstances. I will do my best to keep him within the guardrails. Please don’t send him to jail for the remainder of the trial because that would interfere with his ability to contribute to the defense of the case.”

“Pretty please, don’t send him to jail for the remainder of the trial. Sending him to jail for the remainder of the trial would demean his dignity.”
< trump drools >
“Whatever you do, for the love of humanity, don’t send him to jail where he can’t dial us up at all hours of the night to offer his invaluable input and advice on our defense strategy. Don’t deny us the blessing of being awakened at 3 am with his bon mots of wisdom.”

“Please, Your Honor.”

Trump is like toxic waste and needs to be removed and stored away from mankind.

He is the cockroaches’ cockroach. Looks odd when you write that out, but still fits in any case.

The voters will show out. And if they don’t, a whole bunch of religious fucksticks are going to find out what Americans really think about their freedom.
I even have to admire the MAGA people and their fidelity. America wasn’t built by people who weren’t willing to hang on by their fingernails, long past hope.

The trouble with these snarky comments in quotes is that with Trump it’s hard to distinguish what is a joke from what is reality.

Your Honor, how dare you try to make my client face the consequences of his own actions? This is America (for now)!

Well, this will help to prolong the trial, thus further delaying and denying justice. One day the trial. Next day, the gag violation hearing. Rinse and repeat, all the way up to the Appeals process – and it starts all over again! By then, the election is over, raging hordes have attacked the Capitol building, and DC has a permanent military presence.
So it’s all good! Amirite??

“Please, Your Honor, bring the hammer down on this asshole and lock him up. Maybe then I can actually do my fucking job.”

Awww, Poor Blanche. Is he only now discovering that there’s a price to be paid for spending a life in a career where your morals and ethics are dictated by whoever is paying you the most money? Lawyers and prostitutes both sell themselves, but at least escorts can wash off someone else’s stink. Lawyers can never wash off the reek of the scum they swim with.
