I hope this is day 1 of a whole lot of justice being administered.

When is someone going to tell the rubes who have been sending Donnie money for years to help pay for his legal defense, that apparently Donnie is keeping their money tight instead of going ahead and signing a massive retainer to acquire a middling Florida law firm that doesn’t normally deal in Alligator Tort Liabilities?

Just because no immediate electronic communication hardly means anti-climatic.

Kinda glad that this intake-judge is trying to dial the spectacle back.

We’re going to get a good look at the Florida people today.

The rubes have been told and been shown that their money is not being used for what they intended. They are so tightly incorporated in the cult of Trump that they only believe what he says despite all evidence to the contrary. They have also seemingly lost the ability to tell the difference between right and wrong. It’s very sad.

Make it seem as routine as possible? A common criminal (perhaps even an uncommon one) being arraigned per normal procedures.

There is zero reason to legitimately deny audio from the proceedings. Goodman is an ass.

“Legitimate” is less important than “infuriating.”

Just saw in Wapo:

"Miami police said Tuesday morning that they were helping respond to “a suspicious object” near the federal courthouse, with officers on the scene moving journalists back and taping off some of the area.

“Police did not elaborate on the object they were responding to, but officers could be seen near a television on a nearby sidewalk.”

Fortunately, it’s a hell of a lot harder to riot your way into a federal courthouse than into the Capitol.

Bullshit. This is an enormously important case and it serves the public interest to have everything that happens in open court available in real time. If the judge is concerned about security he can demand an army of federal marshalls.

Because Trump will just confess?

You know he spent hours in front of the mirror.

It’s already scheduled for Bedminster this evening.
Presumably, so all the folks who turned out to support Donnie in Miami can’t be part of it.

He may be a crook, but he’s OUR crook.

Do Comer and Gym Jordan (and several others) also suffer from premature ejaculation in other parts of their lives?
