Some of them will overestimate themselves. It won’t be a Democrat-only bloodbath.

Politicians want to harm each other directly instead of harming millions indirectly? Fuck it, let em.

That makes much more sense. I should have guessed. Well, thanks for the explanation!

Oh, yeah, I’m not arguing with you. I just mean that those gag orders wouldn’t have been necessary if he had the self discipline of a ten year old. Most other defendants would have been thrown in jail for contempt of court.

I understand that, but they’ve gotta draw the line somewhere. So far, it doesn’t look like they have. All the various judges seem to have done is sternly told him things that are common sense to virtually every other defendant.

This is why they hate college. Isolated students who were sheltered by their conservative parents are forced to mix with people who are different from them… and the students realize the differences that they were taught to be afraid of don’t really matter. They start to think for themselves.

Independent thought is what scares conservatives the most.

Right? “I’ll never fly with that airline!” isn’t much of a threat when it’s coming from someone who’s never been more than fifteen miles from where they were born.

He assumed that since Trump gets away with insulting the judge, he could do it, too. This was partially a consequence of treating Trump with kid gloves and tolerating his shenanigans. I hope Trump’s other judges take note, but they probably won’t.

Yeah. The CROWN Act is the only reason I have any hope at all. Otherwise, I’d say this kid is fucked.

If the student somehow doesn’t win, I’ll have even less faith in the justice system than I already do.

Oh, and this isn’t quite the point, but I’ve seen pictures of his hair from other angles. It’s cool as hell.
