Justice Engoron previously denied Trump's ask to deliver part of the closing arguments when his attorneys refused to agree to terms that Trump would not attack the Court and violate Court rules.
"Your Honor, I have literally no control over my client. He's essentially an aged, rabid dog at this point."
Edit: lol, I haven't gotten to this part of the article yet
Justice Engoron, in a plea to Trump's attorney, Chris Kise, implored, “Mr. Kise, please control your client.” However, the attempt to rein in Trump proved futile as he continued his tirade, even bringing up the prosecutor's alleged political motives, including what he called her "failed" run for Governor.
Your votes do... That does way more fucking damage than some stupid posts you could easily ignore...
But also, as a "conservative" I have to imagine you care about the "marketplace of ideas" and "freedom of speech" or is that only for you and your kind?
Definitely the actions of an innocent man. Lmao he's such a loser, and sore one at that. Hopefully they bleed his criminal organization dry with the verdict
This title is hilarious compared to others I’ve seen. Makes it seem like shit was crazy. Like they’re trying to top the guy who superman’d over the bench last week. It wasn’t. He spoke and the judge let him. And the judge will make his decision soon so let’s see how the EXPLOSIVE UNHINGED ATTACKS work out for him.
Yeah I was going to say, "stormed out"? I've never seen a courtroom where the defendant could just leave, especially not in a case that's this high profile.
Call your Senators and Congressmen and tell them this shit is unacceptable. Call over and over until their aides are sick of hearing your voice. Even if you aren't in the same party and you didn't vote for them. Let every gov't employee know enough is enough.

Hello, Mr. Ted Cruz? I'd like to file a complaint abou.... Oh, go fuck myself? No, that's fair. I'll just dial Mr Crenshaw and... Nope, it appears I'm being told that this phone call is uncivil and I can go fuck myself. Okay, well, you'll be hearing from my vote in a heavily caged and gerrymandered set of districts.
Call over and over until their aides are sick of hearing your voice.
Daily screaming matches with some telemarketing company paid to handle their calls will do more harm to me than to any of them.
I hope this is used as precedent by so many people to have tantrums in court and walk the fuck out. and that all of legal history looks back on this judge for causing this with his desire to let trump do whatever the fuck he wants without significant, meaningful repercussion.
Like a spoiled child who was forced to share his toys. What a baby. I sware, there are certain developmental milestones that are impossible to hit if you grow up rich.
Why is this a thing?? I don't get it. It's so stupid. Anybody else would get their ass handed back to them but he's the exception for some reason I can't fathom. Like, even if he has a lot of followers, so what?
I mean he was the President. As much as I hate the guy and think he is an awful leader he still has privilege above ours. Life has politics EVERYWHERE. His boss. His family. His community. There are certain things this judge has to balance in every decision.
I don't know the judge or the details of the case. But you ask why he is hauled off? Because MOST white old guys that fuck up are just slapped on the wrist, pay a fine, and do community service unless he actually was violent. Did he perpetuate violence? Absolutely. Has that been proven in a court yet? No. It's not so black and white.
to give absolutely zero room for mistrial complaints
My man standing up on the desk, pulling down his pants, shitting all over the place, then waddling out with his pants around his ankles and the judge turns to the bailiff saying "No no no, let him do his thing, I don't want to risk a mistrial".
He has zero room for complaints.
He's been indicted 91 times since he left office and we've yet to see any of them resolve into some kind of legal punishment. Everything is supposedly coming to a head between March and May of this year, but... In the middle of a heated election season, I'm not holding my breath on that shit getting deferred or extended or whatever.
And then if he makes it to November and wins (hardly unlikely, given the direction of the current polling) he's back to being Unitary Executive and immune to prosecution. And then we'll get four more years. And if the country doesn't collapse on itself after that, we get to restart the whole process and hope another four years of pretending to indict a former President now pushing into his mid-80s will mean anything.
Guy is going to die of poor health long before he sees the inside of a jail cell. The US justice system simply is not built to punish people like him.
I think this is a case of "I know you're going to appeal and say I was bias. They're going to look at how much I let you do and get away with and laugh in your face." I think she's playing the long game.
