Get it over with already. If Trump’s team has a legitimate claim that they didn’t have enough time, they can appeal that, assuming (fervently hoping) Trump is convicted. By the time they work their way up to SCOTUS, it will be April 2026, just like they asked. /s

Dream sequence:

Judge to Lauro: If you and your firm lack the capacity to handle this matter in a reasonable time frame as is possible with modern methods you should have informed Mr. Trump so when he sought to hire you and turned the case down. You could have then directed him to firms more suited to his needs. He certainly has the resources to hire such.

I hope Trump is paying Lauro enough to buy a jacket that fits. That button’s about to pop off.

Lauro just did his bit to inch TFG that much closer toward revocation of bail, and jail.

Trump had little choice on lawyers.
No one with a brain will defend him.
Most important Trump is so stupid he believes if he orders a lawyer to defend him they will do it and win because he said so.

I am surprised I guess that the judge didn’t remand Lauro to custody for a couple hours to cool off.

trump’s legal team looks like a bad lawyer joke. Specifically:

Q: Why do lawyers wear neckties?

A: To keep the foreskin from sliding up over their heads.

Trump is well and truly screwed on this one. He has no rational defense, his Counsel has revealed himself to be a un-serious blowhard who is not up to this case, and Ms. Chutkan is a no-nonsense Judge, who is not impressed with Trump’s BS.

It is time for Justice to prevail. Trump needs to face the illegality of his behavior. If he wanted to stay out of jail, he should have NEVER run for POTUS.
