But it gets funnier later:

"Yo! I want a sweet deal to spill on trump's conspiracy!"

*Judge gives the DA the side-eye*

"Ahem. No. See you in court."

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

At that point they'll start saving it for tell-all books for a quick cash grab.

 

[wonko the sane?]

They were doing that anyway.

Rats escaping a sinking ship that's also a burning wreck

Donald Trump, who still hasn't internalized the problem with having one value for this loan applications and a different one for his taxes, came out to talk to the press during a break today and said the value of his properties was much more than what the financial statements said, not less. Which, if true, probably deepens his legal jeopardy.

 

[Ironbite4]

DOES HE NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING HE SAYS CAN BE USED AGAINST HIM!?

 

[wonko the sane?]

That would mean he understands that "the right to remain silent" means "shut up". Dude literally cannot not talk. Honestly it seems like he lacks object permanence and if he deliberately stop talking he thinks he'll disappear.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

While we're waiting on the legal slog, someone should get him tested for dementia.

 

[Pocket]

Why bother? That implies that any of the jive he's done isn't 100% his own fault, which is a road I'd rather not go down.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Besides, he's like half a year from going to jail. Plenty of free mental health care in jail.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

I'll take anything that keeps him out of office at this point. I want to have faith in the legal system locking him up before then, but at no time in my lifetime has the legal system shown itself effective at dealing with famous white guys.

 

[Pocket]

Neither have our mental health institutions.

Trump gag order back in effect in federal election interference case

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan's ruling Sunday reinstates the order to limit Trump's comments about witnesses or disparagement of prosecutors while his team appeals.

What's the over/under on how quickly Trump violates this one?

 

[Axaday]

2-3 days maybe

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Probably already has, the media just hasn't picked it up yet.

 

[wonko the sane?]

2-3 days maybe

Alright, so... a comparison.

You literally just predicted that there will be a supernova somewhere in the milky-way galaxy in the next 100K years. An estimate (in the case of trump.) so vague and large that nostradamus is scoffing at you.

 

[abates]

I feel like they're going to need to hit him with something more substantial than a $10,000 fine to stop him violating gag orders. He can probably find that much down the back of his sofa.

closer than the odds of him suffering consequences for it.

 

[Axaday]

He didn't make it a whole day. At some point, one of them is going to have to put him in jail for the weekend.
