A tired, haggard, sleepy, old criminal defendant.

Just another defendant that looks like a clown…

Prosecutors raised that last point in arguments for sanctions, asking Judge Merchan to impose a $3,000 fine on Trump; $1,000 apiece for three posts which, prosecutors say, ran afoul of Merchan’s gag order. Merchan replied by setting a hearing on April 24 to discuss the matter.
With all due respect your honor, why do you need to set a separate hearing on this matter? Look at the posts and decide whether or not you feel that they violated the gag order that you set. Rule immediately. It shouldn’t take an extra nine days - during which time more might go up - to slap a repeat offender of violating gag orders down.

I just came here to gawk at that picture of a madman.
Look at that flat-top. The bags under his eyes. That orangey moonfaced dullard. The scowl. I mean, where’s a good blowdryer when you need one? Getting up early really is gonna be the worst part of his day in all this for Mr. Tiny Hands tRump. Can’t wait for the reach around hug tRump likes to give himself when he’s really in over his head.
Yeah, I’d make a terrible jurist.
He’s in a heap of trouble but the only thing he’ll care about is how he looks on camera before and after they let him out of the courtroom. Not to mention the whining he’ll do about how unfair Jesus tRump is being treated…like nothing anyone has ever seen before…EVER!!!

I was noticing the amount of pad in those shoulder pads. Sticks out so much, his arms look like they are sliding off his torso.

Wonder if that is some joke by his stylist. “You look great and powerful, Sir!”

Dear lord let this be the start of accountability for this cretinous heel. I hope they let the Central Park 5 come and visit his trial and sit directly behind his fat orange ass.

What do you expect from a man too cheap to tailor his off-the-rack suits? Even my spousal unit had to have his last suit tailored – one shoulder is about a half inch higher than the other. A little bit of padding, and voila, a well-tailored suit.

“scheduling elements of the trial amid the Passover holiday,”
I have no idea why this is relevant. Sedar will take place after court is over for the day.

I’m sure there will be room, because Mel sure ain’t there, or any of his three oldest spawn.

So happy that Josh persevered and got in. Maybe get there an hour or so earlier tomorrow?

Defense was complaining they hadn’t had enough time to present all their exhibits. Seriously? The indictment was announced over a year ago.
Trump 47 Cabinet:
AG: Alina Habba
Commerce: Jared Kushner
ATF: Wayne LaPierre
DHHS: Ronny Jackson
SecDef: Michael Flynn
State: Lara Trump
Education: Stephen Miller
Anybody got any other nominations?

The Seder (effectively) marks the start of the holiday, for which the first two days and last two days are considered holy. Passover is not just a dinner outside of court hours.

Ya, but, if that’s Trump’s torso I’ll eat my shorts.
