Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Holy contempt of court batman! that lawyer's gonna habba bad time.
I keep thinking, this is where the judge throws someone in jail for contempt of court. Right?
In a sane world, yes. In the world we live on where money is the main thing that matters and everyone is afraid of what the 30% of America that supports a literal dictator will do as a response to any negative actions taken on trump is seen as an attack on their entire culture.
Which I believe Trump is banking on when hiring bad lawyers. To his base it looks like he's being treated poorly, which will make the base more militant. That way Trump can get the SCOTUS stormed if he's about to be convicted in the January 6 trial.
Agreed. It also helps that no competent lawyer will work for him.
Since Trump has a reputation for not paying his legal representation, and money is what lawyers crave, I'm sure Trump could get decent lawyers by paying up front.
Not even. He also tends not to listen to their advice and undermines his own case by blathering in public. He's not worth the headaches.
.. and force a mistrial?
Finding a lawyer in contempt of court does not force a mistrial.
