When will this woman be disbarred? We should start taking bets.
Why was she ever admitted to the bar in the first place when she doesn't understand basic courtroom etiquette?
She understands. She is trying to get attention and is desperate.
I honestly don't think she does. Why would she risk being thrown in jail for that? She did multiple things that made the judge reprimand her.
Rudy Giuliani was a prosecutor and deputy attorney general. He was also well known as “America’s Mayor” after rallying New Yorkers in the wake of 9/11. Yet that didn’t stop him from ruining his own life committing crimes to protect Trump.
It’s really bizarre!
I agree, but Rudy has never said anything remotely like this-
“Somebody said to me ‘Alina, would you rather be smart or pretty?’ and I said ‘Oh easy, pretty… I can fake being smart’.
And I don't think that statement was part of some sort of complicated 4-D chess to protect trump. The easiest explanation is she's stupid but pretty and willing to work for free. What more could Trump ask for?
I can fake being smart.
Not well.
she can fake being smart to stupid people quite well
She's not wrong. I have someone in my extended family who was a willowy 5'10 very attractive woman with no kids who couldn't have out-mathed my at the time sixth grader (really, no hyperbole, I was present for real world examples of this happening) who is the CFO of a company in San Diego with a beach front condo.
She could've used makeup and surgery to fake being pretty.
Well, we both know she didn't choose smart.
She knows the judge has on kid gloves for the trial so as not to give any reason for an appeals court to overturn. So she's pushing her luck. Also makes get famous for "sticking it to the judge" in Republican circles.

Because it really isn't a risk at this point. She's been in contempt of court many times already.
To perform for the base and lend credence to the "witch hunt" claim.
Or, you know, she's stupid.
Oh, I'm not certain she doesn't understand. Performative art. She got used to performing in a way her main audience (mango mussolini et al) enjoyed in the no jury case, with state level Judge Engoran - that she thinks she can use the same tricks that make him smile on a federal judge.
To me this is hubris, not ignorance. To be clear there is a fair bit of both, but thus is show work not trial work.
Her inability to properly file evidence is her ignorance. Sass is for show imo.

She's gunning to be his next wife.
Fourth Lady of The United States
If we're going by presidential succession we actually don't have a Fourth Lady because the President Pro Tempore of the Senate is a woman.
(I know what you're saying and it's funny I just wanted to say this)

I just read that she considers herself a very devout Christian. She has also been divorced and remarried less than a year later. What a garbage person.
That checks out. Exactly what I'd expect from a devout Christian.
Threatened over and over but doesn't actually do anything. Which is why they keep doing whatever they want.
This is the final final final final warning, once more and I'll warn you for good.
She's good looking and now famous, nothing will happen to her other than a spot on television.

I thought the legally blonde sequels were over. Why is this fall from grace trope playing out?
Don’t insult the legally blonde franchise like that.
Maybe it’s a spinoff; Illegally Fake Blonde with a low budget actress.
Or she could be the anti-Elle, who thinks that just because she's pretty she can get away with being a terrible lawyer, and Elle needs to teach her that impeccable style and grooming may be important, but that being a lawyer is about a whole lot more than knowing which shoes go with which purse.
She's not naturally blonde. That's a bottle. Look at those roots.
She’s a perfect cast character in the Faux World franchise.
Tbf legally and naturally are not synonyms.
is it really a threat if there’s no chance it will actually happen?
Oh his underlings can definitely take a fall. He's left a wide swath of them in his wake. I'd be happy if they just disbarred her.
