(81,612 posts)Hell use their donations to pay his bills. I dont know how much theyll keep coughing up to keep his bills paid - assuming they even realize thats where their campaign donations are going.

(19,208 posts)on his legal and personal expenses, that's money he won't be spending on his presidential campaign.
It's a win-win in my opinion.

(5,072 posts)The others paying his fines include the Republican Party which he is rapidly bankrupting. He will destroy the party that was stupid enough to back his play.

(19,208 posts)of the TNC's bankroll is being skimmed off by Lara Trump into the Trump personal bank accounts?
There wasn't much oversight on donations before she took over, and I'd hazard a guess there is none now.

(5,072 posts)For all I care. The GOP did this to itself and I say serves them right. Evil bunch of hate mongers.

(804 posts)Let's start at a cool $1,000,000 per post. And double it for each subsequent post. After only a couple of posts, this starts to get pretty pricey !!!! $32M after 6, $64, $128, etc.

(32,917 posts)... then I'm down with your plan.
If Chump doesn't go to prison it won't bother me too much. Just convict him of his most serious crimes, and fine him into poverty. If Chump gets house arrest, no TV or internet, no news, no social media, and he stays the fuck out of politics forever - then I'm good.

Should NOT be held in contempt??
If he violated
he SHOULD be held in contempt,right?
StarryNite
(9,479 posts)I think it means the defense will be asked to explain why they think he shouldn't be held in contempt.
👍
Thx

(16,675 posts)I think it's legalese for "We think the defendant should be held in contempt, unless the Defense can show cause why he shouldn't."

(3,836 posts)as punishment? It would be much better than a "fine".
Often defendants watch their own trials via Zoom where the Courts can control them and even mute them when necessary. If there is going to be drama anyway, why not make it count as proof of truth and sanity from "The other side"? (which would be very good thing)
As long as defendant trump can see and hear what's going on.. what's the problem? I guess his capitulating lawyers could use 'removing him and his cancerous voice' as another (bogus) strike against 'Freedom of Speech'
But the disgraced ex-president needs to be punished in a way the whole world can see - punished with anything that will push back against Maga's urgent normalization of his pathetic, infectious and flourishing mental illness.

(3,836 posts)I've heard there is no security on public wi-fi so I don't go anywhere else either.
ShazzieB
(16,675 posts)I don't know what's defined as "high speed," but there's definitely wi-fi, and I'm pretty sure you're right about the lack of security.

about clothing because it will be provided along with some wrist jewelry. Not only did he break the gag order but
he showed up late for his trial today. He left his building @ 8:45 for a 9 am court date.

I do not understand why DA would state this. I would think NOT should not be in the sentence. Can someone explain?
RockRaven
(15,104 posts)The prosecution is asking the judge to order the defense to explain themselves (and unless the defense convinces the judge otherwise, find him in contempt). The "not" is what the defense is being ordered to do -- make a counterargument to the prosecution's argument that the behavior is contempt-worthy.
