The judge overseeing the criminal trial of Donald J. Trump said he would be willing to jail the former president if he continued to violate his gag order. A banker who set up the account used to make a hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels is back on the stand.
$9,000? So now contempt of court has a price tag, and it’s one even his fraudulent ass can easily afford. Way to make things worse again, guys.
It’s the legal maximum fine. Judge can impose jail time, but didn’t this time. There are already four more gag order violations which will be discussed later in the week.
I think they haven’t imposed jail time on this fucking traitor because they don’t want to turn him into a martyr. I truly believe Trump wants to go to jail so he can fundraise from there. As much as I’d like to see him behind bars, I don’t want it to be a three week stint. If we’re going to put him in jail it needs to be for the rest of his life. Make El Chapo his cell mate. That would be nice.
He’s already a fucking martyr, it’s just a matter of when/where the bastard keels over. His base is riled up enough that no matter how he dies, it will be a conspiracy theory nightmare and probably trigger another january 6th style incident.
The faster he is removed from the public eye, they faster people forget about him and latch onto some other bullshit
They’ll also constantly insist he’s coming back from the dead. He’s effectively a religious figure now because humanity is hopelessly warped.
That and they’d have to set up room and board for secret service inside the jail along with a host of other security measures to make sure he doesn’t get murdered by an inmate.
They may have to put him under house arrest without an Internet or ohone connection. Force all communication with the outside world to go through his lawyers and a probation officer.
Sentence him to only getting his fast food from KFC
Sentence him to eating his vegetables and no ice cream.
ADX Florence would be nice and secure for him. It even has netflix and cable apparently.

That’s like fining a normal person a nickle.
Why aren’t these things based on net worth? These systems are so broken.

The system is functioning exactly as designed, to the benefit of those that designed it and to the detriment of people they consider enemies. Making crime legal for a fee is exactly what it’s supposed to do, as that allows the aristocrats to continue regulating the rest of us while giving them free rein.
