I’m not sure if being thrown in jail would be good politically for Trump or not. However, I see no reason not to find out.
Mein Kampf was dictated to Rudolph Hess in Landsberg Prison.
Hitler was in his mid-30s even he was in prison, though. Trump seems to be modeling his political career after him, 40 years too late.
He’s going a little out of order, and moving a lot faster than Hitler did. I’d say he’s averaging about 25 years behind. Which means his eventual suicide should be in about 4 years.
If he eats enough adderall and McDonalds that his heart stops, does that count?
I mean, I’ll take it.
Back then war(and dictatorship) was a matter of young. Now it is a matter of old.
The problem is that Trump will never be thrown in jail as we know it. He’ll go to jail and he’ll look tougher for it even though his stay would have been like a Motel 6.
This explains a lot. They also don’t think he’ll actually go to jail.
The ex-president’s legal advisers had long ago told Trump that his chances of winning at trial are close to zero — hence, their scorched-earth, “Fyre Festival”-style courtroom performances. According to the three sources, several Trump attorneys and other key allies have advised him that the more the New York judge supposedly “overreacts” — including perhaps remanding Trump — the better their case for an appeal will be.
The liability is what else comes out of happens as a function of this trial. It can materially impact his other trials.

I think Desantis is just waiting for all of them to dump trump so he can step in. He is far worse, but also not as charming by a mile. Also, the whole weak and wears lifts thing.
I think your 2nd paragraph there has merit but I had already downvoted you for your first. Once he has a conviction, the GOP will immediately dump him. Conservative news will be all about whichever other contenders will be in the top spot.
To paraphrase Stephen Miller, the democrats just don’t get it. This is no longer about law, but about power.
They’re about to grab the brass ring and so few people understand.
Once he has a conviction, the GOP will immediately dump him. How can you be sure? Trump did lots of things that would normally by disqualifying but somehow the GOP still supports him.
Add a double line break to separate your thoughts from the quote.
Good question. I’m not sure. The current talking point is that he’s fine because there’s no conviction. I suppose they could move the goal posts, but hopefully enough of them respect the law enough to not cause trouble.
but hopefully enough of them respect the law enough to not cause trouble.
You’re gonna be disappointed.
with convictions.hes barred from running in several states, so it’s just a non starter.
He’s not barred until someone declares him barred. Who’s to say that the GOP state leadership won’t let him on the ballot anyway because fuck you that’s why?
GOP isn’t a lawmaking body. There are rules in various states about who can be on a ballot.
I don’t know that the GOP would dump him. I think they’ll do whatever their base does and if that means doubling down on a convict then there we go…
“Celebrity Lawyer” Dershowitz? Dafuq. That’s like towing the line of journalistic malpractice. He defended Epstein, Weinstein, OJ Simpson and the subject of the fucking article Trump. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. Can’t wait for Rolling Stones Humanitarian edition for Kissinger
More like “Celebrity” Lawyer Dershowitz. As in: everybody knows his name, he’s a celebrity - for defending the most deplorable people who have ever faced trial.
Monday’s going to be fun… But keep in mind, it’s not televised, so we’ll have to wait for breaks and EOD for the full story.

What are you going to do, throw me in jail?
- jailed man
Contempt of court that arises during a trial has zero effect on the outcome. A judge can throw you in jail for violating decorum, much less violating an order.
Trump’s legal team needs to watch My Cousin Vinny again.
Yeah id love to see the shocked Pikachu face on the attorney who told him he wouldn’t sit in jail at all as the bailiffs haul Trump’s ass out of court.
It is the liberal democracy’s attack on the ideologue that clinches his victory. But we also have no choice but to try to hold him to account. It’s an ancient dance and we’re locked into it. I see no way out.
times are about to get a whole lot darker.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
As Donald Trump prepares to take the stand in the civil fraud trial that could destroy his business empire, the ex-president and his attorneys have settled on a strategy built on spite and unbridled antagonism.
The ex-president’s legal advisers had long ago told Trump that his chances of winning at trial are close to zero — hence, their scorched-earth, “Fyre Festival”-style courtroom performances.
In recent weeks, the former president and some of his lawyers in the New York civil fraud trial have discussed the likelihood of Judge Arthur Engoron very aggressively responding to Trump team’s strategy of relentless hostility and defiance.
The tactics have included attacks on Engoron’s court clerk, filibustering the prosecution’s witnesses with repetitive questions, and raising legal arguments the judge had already specifically prohibited.
On Friday, Chris Kise, Trump’s lead attorney in the case, appeared to test the judge’s patience by once again by attacking his court clerk, Allison Greenfield, with claims about her “excessive political donations” from a Wisconsin man who describes himself as “Applying the 69th Amendment to the Internet!” in his Twitter bio.
Fredin’s attacks had previously helped to land Trump in trouble with Judge Engoron when he posted a screenshot from the man’s Twitter’ account insulting Greenfield on his Truth Social platform.

He’s shooting for a mistrial. Regardless, we can try the jail thing. No cell phone while he’s in either.
