I think it’s a great idea, but I’m not holding my breath. As a lawyer, I can see his attorneys appealing this as election interference because it would perhaps intentionally prevent him from campaigning and we know SCOTUS would agree with him either way, with or w/o any legal basis.
I think that the Judge recognizes that Trump should be jailed, should have been jailed for his gag order violations. However, he’s holding back so as not to risk any possibility that the trial’s validity would be compromised. That, as frustrating as it is to sane people.
I have been watching MSNBC this evening. Lawrence O’Donnell had a fantastic analysis this evening. He was in the courtroom today observing the trial, Trump, and everything. What he said was interesting.
Donald Trump, as a lot of people are hoping for, has been told if being out in jail if he continues his violations. There’s a lot of people that are wishing Yrumo was already in jail, and probably a lot wishing he never go to jail. But, he’s already in jail. Every day of the week he is forced to sit in that courtroom, keep his mouth shut, without his Diet Coke brought to him every hour, not get up and walk out, not speak or make sly remarks, or noise of any kind. Donald J. Trump is in fact in jail right now. Every day of the week.
If you think about it, he’s never ever been in this position in his life. He’s always fine as he wished. Now, he can’t. Now, he has to go exactly as he’s told. Nothing more.
Plus, his “home confinement” might be a hotel suite. There’s no telling what he’s going to have left after his other case in New York gets done taking everything that he owns.
Just make him stay in jail for overnight and weekends every time he shoots his mouth off. He will get tired of that pretty quick. Instead of breakfast at Tiffany’s, it will be breakfast in jail.
He’ll appeal EVERYTHING as a matter of course. Locking him up only on days of no trial increases grounds for appeal as election interference. HOWEVER! Locking him up would NOT cause any trial delays. Most criminal defendants are locked up during their trials—they’re brought fresh clothes each morning (if they’re rich or lucky) and appear at counsel table as normally as anybody who’s not in custody. That only means MAGA might start a war but hell, they’re planning to, anyway, right? Why wait till he loses the election?
I understand. And Gus appeals are fully expected. I believe that’s why this judge is not making any verbal rulings on these violations from the bench. He’s waiting and doing the rulings in writing expecting the appeals.
As for his war. Bring it on. I’m guessing they will lose it too.
Now, I’m curious about something ruse you brought out. I’ve heard him complain about this being “election interference” on numerous occasions. I’m trying to understand. No other person on this planet would be afforded the leeway this clown 🤡 has had. I never knew any court, or law, that gave a damn about one’s job, profession, if he was accused of violating the law. I have heard countless judges tell people in traffic court that he turns date about their work, or anything wise they had going on. All he cared about was justice, and their being in that court to face the charges. So, why is this prick any different? We all knii look w that he’s only running recluse he knew these legal issues were on the hurting and going to consume his time.
He’s doing all this for money, to build his cult, and the fact that he’s a narcissistic sociopath. It’s all about keeping him the center of attention. That’s why he’s never conceded the last election. He never will. Nor will he ever concede the upcoming election when he gets his ass kicked!

I fully agree, Knitwish. But, a question. If these steps were taken, mythologically, would there be any grounds for an appeal?
Plus, if he imposes the 30 days her violation to be served at the completion of the trial, again, would this be up fur shy appeal?

I guess we have to be satisfied with Lawrence’s astute observation in case it’s all we get. God forbid. Karma can’t be rushed, darn it!
No. No it can’t. But you know what they say. “Karma’s a bitch, ain’t it!”
I doubt it. At the very most, “home” (wherever that is) confinement.

Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

Yep. And his only crotch he’d be able to grab would be his cell mate’s. I’m sure he’d like grabbing that instead of shat he’s used to grabbing..
