Donald Trump was aggravated by his lawyer’s advice that he not appear in person during the last E. Jean Carroll trial — so much so that he is attending this week’s trial to determine damages in the second case in which he was found to have defamed the writer, and may even testify, ABC New reported.
Frist.
Can’t the Judge just find him in contempt of court and order the Bailiff to confine him?
Cat.
There was a back and forth after that. Per Politico:
At that point, Trump threw up his hands, saying, “I would love it. I would love it.”
“I know you would. I know you would,” Kaplan replied. “You just can’t control yourself in this circumstance, apparently.”
Trump shot back: “You can’t either.”
What a fucking loon. He’s a rapist with serious impulse control issues (among many others it seems).
Time to stop threatening. Time to start doing. He’s no longer president. Treat him like any other defendent. If he causes disruption in the courtroom, ask that he be escorted out, hold him in contempt, have the bailiff cuff him and arrest him if it gets further out of hand. Endless indulgement of Trump is what caused all this in the first place. Enough.
It’s always about dominance. He can’t not have the last word. Anything he’s accused of, he’s innocent of and by the way, you’re guilty of it, not him. He’s a child. He should be treated as such.
So much winning by losing? I’ve lost my faith in nihilism!! WTF??
Our very own @drtv!!
Letting him stay there is letting him rape his victim again. So very sick of the leniency this demon gets.
Damn good point.

After suggesting he might appoint Musk to his cabinet
Let’s see now … how to respond to this without using the words “fuckwit troll” …
Anyone know whether Joey Tacopina ever got paid. Is Alina Habba getting paid for her legal services? Or is she simply doing Skanky, the Family, and the Organization a favor?
“how much [Donald Trump] owes [the victim] for defaming her after…”
…having raped her.
Taking a rapist to court is extremely traumatic for the victim. According to HHS stats, only about 6% of rapists ever serve a day in jail and the person raped suffers immeasurably through the process. E. Jean Carroll is courageous and a role model.
My question at this point is…just how long has Dean been on their payroll?
I’ve been wondering why contempt hasn’t been pushed yet. On the other hand, the Bailiff could be instructed to take TIFG to another room with closed circuit so he can still see but not disrupt the proceedings.
That needs to happen sooner rather than later.
Kaplan’s reputation as a “no-nonsense” judge:
That’s gone. He put up with a lot of nonsense from Trump, just like every other judge.
The GOP’s? Or the SVR’s? Might be different start dates, depending.
A while:
In the X Spaces forum, which also included billionaire X owner Elon Musk, Phillips floated the idea of cabinet positions for Ackman, Musk and angel investor and podcast host Jason Calacanis, with Phillips saying that if elected he would nominate the “best, the most extraordinary bipartisan cabinet in American history” that could include people “on this Spaces right now.”
“No nonsense”??I see plenty of “nonsense” going on.
I was in a courtroom, waiting my turn, several years back when a man was brought up before the judge. After he’d spoken briefly, the judge asked him “Are you high?” And then proceeded to ream him out about daring to come into her courtroom under the influence.
Then she had the bailiff take him to a holding cell where he could cool his heels for three days, and then return to court for his hearing.
Why can’t any judge do that? Put Loudmouth Louie behind bars? Money means nothing to him; his deluded minions will flood him with billions. Gag orders do not silence. So how about a turn in solitary?
