Don’t kick him out, that’s exactly what he wants.
F**KING ARREST HIM and charge him with contempt of court.
Judge doesn’t need to charge him, he can just be found in Contempt & held.
Yep, I don’t think I have the self control to be a judge. I think the maximum is 180 days and the very first time he uttered even a syllable off topic or without being asked a direct question his ass would be in for the maximum allowable amount of time.
Judge: Mr. Trump, I hope I don’t have to consider excluding you from the trial. I understand you’re probably eager for me to do that.
Trump: I would love it
Judge: I know you would like it. You just can’t control yourself in this circumstance, apparently.
Trump (muttering): You can’t either.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is a real conversation had by someone who once was and is again running for president. What fucking weird timeline are we living in?
Trump just can’t stand having to follow the same rules as everyone else.
Habba called the judge’s ruling “insanely prejudicial” and the judge soon afterward cut her off, saying he would “hear no further argument on it.”
Habba told the judge: “I will not be spoken to that way, your honor.” When she mentioned the funeral again, the judge responded: “It’s denied. Sit down. Bring in the jury.”
So… she would be spoken to that way.
Yeah, one thing a judge can pretty much do without question is talk to you however the hell they damn well please.
If they are enough of an unreasonable asshole it can come up in appeal though.
I would imagine using language bigoted against a protected class would not help their decision stick.
What do you expect from the lawyer who befriended a sexual assault victim, convinced to to drop her existing lawyer for her, then had the victim sign an NDA and accept a pittance sum for suffering through years of sexual abuse. At one of Trump’s golf courses.
Then turned around to Trump and said “look what I did for you”. Which is how she got the current job.
As I said above, Habba is stupid. Trump-level stupid. He likes her because she has Melania’s body type and I wouldn’t be surprised if he was fucking her.
Hold this asshole in contempt and throw him in a cell until he agrees to behave. And when he doesn’t, throw him back in for a month.
From the video:
“He didn’t speak but he expressed himself through facial gestures and hand gestures. At one point, the judge asked if any of the prospective jurors thought Trump had been treated unfairly by the court system, and Trump sort of slyly raised his hand, prompting some laughter from the room.”

i love how persnickety the courts get about decorum, it’s so pretentious. is being somber and serious the reason you get to put people away for life?
The atmosphere is intended to further respect for the institution of the court. You can be humorous if it’s done in a respectful manner, though (depends on the judge and situation, too). Some attorneys get away with it. I filled a court with laughter one time while pleading guilty for this total bullshit public weed smoking ticket and the judge was nice to me.
Presidents should not be above the law!
