2. That would certainly be a relief. We know TFG is not popular in NY, but nothing happened in other states, either

3. Never knew about the "Park Warning," 7:41. Very cool! It should be read in every criminal court in the country.

5. Exactly, that should be read to him every day since he forgets that he's only out on bail

6. I hear ya. I just think having it read twice is enough. No sense continuing the judicial coddling TSF's already gotten.

The man has no right to expect courts to accommodate his stupidity and forgetfulness -- most of all, his campaign schedule.

Nor should they accommodate Todd Blanche, who's up to his neck in multiple court appearances. Like Jack Smith has written, too bad for Blanche -- Blanche knew what he'd signed up for and should be expected to tough it out.

8. It was also explained that there's a jail cell just through a door at the back of the courtroom

Incarcerated defendants can wait for their court appearances there. And it would be very convenient for TFG if he acts up in the courtroom.
