What’s really terrifying is that his followers can’t possibly fathom that a guy with a 50 year history of doing shady stuff, is in fact, still continuing to do shady stuff.

It's not even the same for the rich vs poor. Let alone politics.
It’s gonna be an uphill battle with him getting the same judge who already had to be chastised for her meddling in the investigation.
I too want some long overdue schadenfreude but I am just going to hold my breath for the next 24 hours. At this point, it mostly the most rabid followers who still back him - The type who are most likely to start something.
I hope tomorrow doesn't go from protest to riot. I feel like the far-right groups are so full of feds after Jan 6th that anything too coordinated will be difficult.
I'm not going to be able to watch, just check my phone occasionally. Hopefully someone will post live updates on the fediverse. Breaking news from people on the scene was one of the things I liked searching reddit for.
Luckily nothing major happened. Just a thousand morons chanting "We love Trump" and a MAGAt and an anti-Trump protestor almost getting into a fight (they were separated).
Hopefully the violent idiots have toned it down since their J6 buddies continue to get their shit rocked by the Justice Department.
Are they going to perp walk him up the courthouse steps?
No, the justification is that everyone already knows what he looks like.
I read he’ll enter from an underground garage so we won’t see much of anything.
In New York they snuck him in through a back door. There was no perp walk up the courthouse steps.
You're right, English is not my first language, so I thought "perp walk" was when the media reported on every step of the orange man. Once I translated and understood the meaning, I had to delete my comment out of embarrassment
Well I can think of at least one case in the past few years where courtroom recordings turned the whole trial into a media fiasco and a witch hunt. I personally don't think it's healthy for justice.
For many reasons, some are already obsolete. For more details, I recommend this article from mtsu.
Keep in mind any and all of that he would just use to get donations and campaign ads. I think that's the main reason he hasn't gotten the perp walk with handcuffs, he wants it!
I feel like this is a rule that is going to be done away with at some point in our lifetimes.
It tends to turn court rooms into drama rooms. Everybody starts performing instead of acting serious. The OJ trial is a great example of how damaging cameras can be. Whether you agree with this or not, this is generally the reason why.
Anxious to see the results of all this.
Weird thought: what if no judge agreed to represent him? At first this idea sounds funny - but it could also be a tactic to help stifle proceedings and the logistics of law.
thanks for using Leebra!

Hoping to see him face actual consequences for once in his life. What he did cannot be normalized by either side of the house.
