It’s my fond hope that this will be the first of many such “no more fucking around” orders, directed at everyone in Trump’s orbit.

I thought Butthead was Eric, you know the easily led one?

He won’t be there.

I can just picture him sitting at the table running his hands through his hair and getting them stuck.

Oh yes he will. Out in the real world a subpoena has teeth. You can’t tell them you don’t feel like it.

This is how I always had them pegged. Your mileage may vary…

Ole Gums is going to shit himself in panic when he has to show up.
No amount of bloviating will spare him from being deposed.

He’ll lie under oath—because he really is that stupid.

OMFG! I’ve had them reversed all these years, sorry.

No matter what Eric does, he will fark it up. Papa Donnie is not going to be a happy camper. Even Donnie is smart enough to realize that he has no influence in NY State courts. And you can bet that NY State will go balls to the wall on this and other litigation.

No, Eric almost has a chin, so he’s more Beavis than Butthead.
They’re almost interchangeable, since both of them are about as sharp as a bag of wet mice.

Is Eric the smart one or dumb one? I always get confused.

Sorry for the cliché but IANAL. Can this be appealed? 'Cause it sure seems that every other order by a Judge has been.

Mr. Trump’s legal team is looking to run out the clock, putting forth aggressive legal theories often backed by scant precedent. The strategy risks periodic bad headlines in the short term and could lead to definitive rulings that hamstring future presidents — but it is demonstrably advantageous for consuming time.

So is Laura going to be carrying Eric Trump in her arms with a diaper slung on her shoulders protecting her clothing from his vomit, when she escorts him in court? Hope Laura plans to bring his pacifier too.

There is no smart one.

There’s just dumber and dumbest.
