How long do you think it will take before Trump violates the order?

      They apparently realize the implicit dangers of making a martyr out of a moron. It seems like the prevailing wisdom is to continue to give him enough tether to hang himself. For the record, I’m not sure I necessarily agree with that strategy, but I do understand it.

        From what I have seen, judges can do whatever the fuck they want in regards to a case and especially in their own courtroom.

          Yep. Only because it’s Trump and his massive cult of sycophants that they are using baby gloves with him.

          Wish they had the balls to actually treat him like they would literally any other criminal. But I guess its better to try to avoid another Jan. 6th.

            In some sick way, I would like to see them attempt another “rebellion”. There absolutely won’t be a minimal police force waiting for them this time around. Seeing those idiots go up against a proper riot force might be interesting to watch.

            However, I understand that the risks outweigh the potential entertainment value. No more lives need to be lost or destroyed over this garbage.

      The judge always has a duty to avoid appellate issues and therefore judges tend to be very lenient to make sure this case is done for good at the end of the court process.

      And just because ppl say this is a trump thing, NO. Sam Bankman-Fried, is one of a lot of other prominent cases where they have been swaths of leniency as well.
