It's impossible to think he won't violate it within 24 hours. Toddlers have better impulse control.

Punishment for criminal contempt, under New York law, is a fine not exceeding $1,000, jail for up to 30 days, or both.

I'm surprised he hasn't pre-emptively asked his idiot support to pay the fines he will rack up.

Given what a pointless exercise a fine would be as a deterrent, it has to be jail time or nothing. But, lord, the morons will be fleeced to pay for his defence fund. Somehow these dimwits brag about how smart he must be because he's so rich but also hand over their own limited funds so that he doesn't have to spend any of his own.

Sorry to be "that guy" and step on a joke, but just the occasional reminder that the core of trump's support is actually (relatively) well-off shitheads: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/th ... s-support/

I'm sure the majority of Republicans are better off financially then the majority of Democrats, hence all the tax cuts for large corporations that are the signature of their party.

But Rich or poor, Donnie is more than willing to grit 'em.

No mugshot expected. How much of that, I wonder, is to preclude him (and, to be fair, opponents) from merchandising off the photo?

Also:

Trump found guilty of sexual assault in the civil case. Jury was super quick on that.

Don't worry, he already knows the fix was in.

And of course he's already spouting off about what a "disgrace" it was and planning on appealing the verdict.

More opportunity to grift off the suckers. Cos it won't move the needle one bit for the right-wing victim constituency he represents.

Nope. This is only going to galvanize them more.

Sorry, you’re right. My language was imprecise—I meant that it won’t cause a re-evaluation amongst supporters and they would turn away. They know what he is. Like with Assange, a guilty verdict—even an outright admission—doesn’t change things because their support rests on a hatred of an enemy. Trump is a vessel for that hatred, not a real person to them.
