He stormed out because he shit himself. Again. And was stinking up the courtroom. Again. If you watch the video, you see him holding his butt and waddling.

Is there video of it? I didn’t see any in the article and usually video isn’t allowed in a courtroom no?

Trump is terrible enough without making up blatant misinformation. That’s the sort of fuckery MAGA dipshits do; you should be better than that.

Don’t be so hard on the guy. He just needed a diaper change. Happens all the time to babies.

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.

this article- which I skimmed - seems like a left-leaning Fox News. Like massive hyperbole and exaggeration designed to get rage clicks

Looking at it, it seems worse than Fox. It seems closer to Gateway Pundit or some awful shit like that.

Unfortunately that’s the devolution of most media now… It’s ridiculous.

No no we can’t be the media or the press and simply provide information, we are ad revenue companies masquerading as the press.

Right, left, center, whatever. It’s all devolving into click bait shit.

Not that I’ve seen (doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist), but other coverage I have read makes it seem way less dramatic.

I’m guessing the only explosive or thunderous thing that happened was just Trump shitting his diaper as he waddled out.

Agreed. I thought there was some huge, unhinged rant. I only read about it, didn’t hear it, but it sounds pretty tame compared to this description.

Knowing this “justice” system, they’d just fine him and add one extra deputy to the court room, when we all saw what happened to Mr Hops when he assaulted a judge… frigging murder charges almost.

If he was a black man they would have restrained him and then claimed he was resisting while doing so so they could beat him.

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.

Unfortunately what happens in a situation like this in court is up to the judge to handle.

Trying to use this as a precedent on how you’re treated would be laughed at by other judge.

But… if you happen to have this judge, that would he very interesting to see.

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.

This has never had any impact on anything and idk why you people are so deluded into believing otherwise.

DONATE (bribe) to your representatives. That’s what they listen to.

I guarantee, not a single senator will read anything anyone here ever sends to them.

Call your Senators and Congressmen and tell them this shit is unacceptable.

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.
