Trump Judge: Jail May Be Necessary | Students Should Be Allowed To Protest | Blankenship For Senate 

The World has...

Great joke structure. Though technically you have “held contempt for Trump”, rather than holding him in contempt

Trump's the most contemptible individual ever.

@@tylerkochman1007 Technically true, but as a quip it works better the other way.

Apparently they are courting him 😊😅🤷🏼🤣🤣🤣

Curious fact: I saved a quote years ago from a book published in 1922: “Anyone can 'outwit' a person who trusts them --- it doesn't take any brains to do that --- all one needs is no sense of honor.” ( Shirley Watkins, _Georgina Finds Herself_ )

Ahhh but why do they think cohen deserved jail? Because he ratted. 😂 They don't care about the laws he broke. 😉

It's how Donnie had avoided criminal responsibility for all this time. It's the very mafia-like tactic of the boss putting as many "loyal" mobsters in front of him so they end up being the ones who get their hands dirty, and they're the ones who take the fall so the boss can remain free.

@@glennwelsh9784 Remember Al Capone...all the crimes everyone knew he was involved in..but how did the law finally break thru all his covers and proxies and shields? tax evasion. if you are going to live the life of an outlaw...you have to otherwise live within the law...or they will nail you hard.

Lets go brandon

is that when he tried to hang himself?

Darn, I THOUGHT that name sounded familiar... though it does put his falling off the bed and hanging himself in a new light.

Felons should not be allowed to run for office.

As terrible as BP promoting climate change and causing oil spills

PERFECT!!!!

It was a clip taken out of context. Rfk Jr. was saying even those who oppose Blankenship call him the most honest ceo in america. Then he used that as a pretext to ask him if it's possible to do mountaintop removal mining without violating the law. They were debating clean energy. The way colbert shows makes it seem like RFk Jr. is endorsing Blankenship.

EXACTLY!!

what makes you think he will not pay? He'll pay 9.000 $, wich is peanuts to him, continue to violate the gag order until the judge FINALLY throws him jail and makes him a martyr. Being thrown in jail is a badge of honor for Reputincans. It means ( to them) the fought against an illegal government. Wacky, I know.

The good thing is that now IQ45 has effectively breached his release conditions in all his other trials there's at least 3 other judges who can now jail him. Time for one of them to step up. It would be priceless if loose Cannon was the one to do it.

The last thing the judicial wants to do, is to rock the boat. Don't expect them to clean up the mess created by politics.

To date has he paid anything. I'd have millions too if I didn't have to pay for anything.

sadl, its not gonnna happen for some whos #abovethelaw

Yup.

Well I am not sure it would do much anyway he can still run for president in jail. Now imagine being Biden and LOSING to someone who is in jail lol

​@@maekklynimagine anyone being ridiculous enough to vote for someone in jail.

@@Clemlove17 If the alternative is Biden then ya they would vote for him in jail...wouldn't be much choice right?

Yes

and a bunch of other related crimes. he's also failed in his attempts to run as both a republican and an independent candidate.

That is Donnie's possible veep

Growing up on a farm, we raised animals to provide food for our family. We never took pride in killing a chicken for dinner; it wasn't a matter of boasting. This woman seems to be trying to align herself with a certain group by boasting about her love for guns and her willingness to use them on animals that disappoint her.

@@rpdx3 Republican Kristi Noem just released her book and in it she tells a story about how she shot her puppy in the face because it was too happy and killed a bird after taking it on a pheasant hunt. After she got a taste for the thrill she dragged other animals she disliked to the gravel pit she shot her puppy in for the same, one was a goat she killed because "it smelled bad".

DJT attorneys really just have 3 options: go to jail for him, get disbarred for him and at best get fired and not paid by him. If they tell you I fell off the bed and hung myself, I didn’t.

Judge, please show mr. Trump that agression in criminal court, can lead to jailtime.

Trump, the whirling drain that sucks in everything around and drags it down with him. Save yourself, T. Blanche.

He wants his lawyers to have an aggressive stance at all times. Just like him. That's not always helpful (vid. Judge Merchan saying to Trump’s lawyer Todd Blanche :"You have lost all credibility.”) but Trump cannot understand that.

​@@myriamickx7969Trump is a hypocrite since he has shown to be passive as a newborn kitten at times when he is in court because he knows if does something wrong a judge can have him contempt of court and send him to jail...sometimes his instincts give correct judgment when to shut his mouth but not often... only in courts😂😂😂😂

What's the story? And what creepy s*x thing is he up to that involves (not) falling off his bed with a n00se?

Those ghosts he killed must be the culprits why he always feel like he fell off bed and hung himself 😂🤔😂

I've said it ever since I heard about the hush money, he paid her not to tell the public his nickname is Mr. ED.

She should have asked for more. If this keeps up he will end up paying more to the judge for violating his gag order.

😂😂😂🏌️‍♂️💨💩

Trump can pay the $9,000 fines as easy as farting.

The Art of the PLEA Deal lol...

Yyyyep. As long as you can pay your “fines” you’ll be just fine. Prison is for the poor and unconnected, according to America.

Minor detail of a fair trial and conviction being required.

Yup. I always say if there is a two tiered justice system then Trump has the platinum plan!

@@marcpeterson1092 And with money you can delay the trial and conviction until you are 6 feet under.

Yep yep. Contempt is a crime and one of his pre trial conditions for his other trails is that you cannot commit any crime or else you should be thrown in jail. Guess how likely it is they’ll enforce that on any tier of our corrupt “justice” system? Yep none and none.

Do you think it was an inadvertent Jeffrey Epstein reference? And Why?

@@fijimermaidfadeto8 Have you ever met a crazy conspiracy nut who DIDN'T think they were going to get offed the moment they tell anyone anything???

Colbert forgot to mention that Don Blankenship is a convicted criminal and responsible for the deaths of 29 miners at Upper Big Branch mine. He should be spending the rest of his life in prison.

A Q-anon reference I believe. That powerfull people like the Clintons killed Epstein to shut him up.

​@@fijimermaidfadeto8That's my thought. Probably a misguided attempt to appeal to the Qanon qaucus. Seems a little dated at this point. When was that, twenty years ago, right...?

Wow. Said perfectly.

Right. So there is absolutely no comparison between Charlottleville's racism and "jews will not replace us", and common chants in current protests, that call for violence against Israelis and Jews, and justify the atrocities conducted by Hamas, the mass mu"*rder and ra*e of innocent Israelis, grand majority of whom were peace supporters? No comparison at all? Trump is a danger to America and the free world. But have you ever considered that you are also trapped in a progressive bubble with no self critisism? That you are in your own mirror vision of Fox news? Can you really only see antisemitism and blind hate when it's from conservatives, but don't stop for one second to consider your own mob mentality?

Like you to your parents.

Not just any stains, but the kind that comes from the inner crevices of diapers.

Your mother birthed a stain on our history.

I know, it's not like he kept it in an unlocked garage on the floor, without Secret Service protection and no onsite skif or anything🤔

@@user-hq7sc2wk1i Then throw him in jail as well. Your argument does not excuse Trump.

Why is he not in jail then? Because he is so smart? Is it because people don't watch his every move 247? Maybe because he is so well liked? Or maybe juuuust maybe you watch msnsbc and cnn?

@@j.7701 or maybe, just maybe, justice isn't blind in the "land of the free"? He showed classified docs to people without authorization, he set a crowd on the capitol, he paid a porn star hush money to influence an election, he undervalued his properties to commit tax fraud, he overvalued his assets to get bank loans, ... these are all facts, not matters of opinion. For any one of these facts he should be in jail.

@@j.7701 Or maybe, just maybe, because in the "land of the free" it turns out justice is not blind. Trump showed classified documents to people without clearance, he paid a porn star hush money to influence the result of the election, he undervalued his assets to commit tax fraud, he overvalued his assets to get bank loans, he instigated a crowd to attack the capitol, ... the list goes on. These are facts, not matters of opinion. Any one of these crimes deserves a prison sentence. And I am not American, I get my news from CNN, BBC, different non-English European left-, center and right-winged news outlets. Where do you get your news from? Fox, who claim they are an entertainment network, not a news network? Or facebook? Or breitbart? Give me a brake, little onion.

Yep

The justices don’t want to impose the rules and laws that applies to the rest of us. When we have a system where “precedent” is more important than justice WE have a problem. Judge Merchan must make a new precedent. Put Trump in jail. I am not even saying for days. But he can start with hours. Let’s start with four and keep increasing the time accordingly. But at least APPEAR to be doing something which is better than doing nothing. 9K in fines is pocket change for Trump.

@@garaf1246 I agree that something more visible would send a message. The problem is preserving the integrity of the court and building a case that is unimpeachable on appeal.

> nor do we ask any man's permission when we ask him to obey it. Oops, the SovCits are not going to like that part...

@@garaf1246 THE JUDGE SHOULD START WITH DAYS THEN GO TO WEEKS !!!!!

@@rcpmac PUTTING A DEFENDENT IN JAIL FOR JURY INTEMIDATION IS NOT AN APPEALABLY THING !! most people are not able to come up with bail !!!!!

Stop making sense. People don't like that anymore🙈

Apparently not. Thankfully these courts are under a microscope and can’t abuse their powers.

NYC, with one of the most liberal courts unbalanced in the dispensing of justice? Sounds like you are a person lacking a brain if you can't see the incompetency of those state government puppets.

Prison would be much better.

For what crime?

@@Persondada go ahead and slink back under your rock if you have to ask LMAO

@@MilkieMouse what crime has he been convicted of? Answer; None. 😂 you don’t go to jail unless convicted.

@@Persondada well, fraud, for one. He also was found liable (not convicted, liable) for r*pe. So there's no question that he's a shyster and a pervert. But now he's sitting on his first criminal trial. Now we'll see what convictions he'll receive. I get the feeling, though, that one day all the things you and I know he did are gonna catch up with him regardless. Men like him always get what's coming to them. Always. :)

You don't get prison for contempt.

That's right... Prison food, No KFC, Taco Bell, etc., No TV, No Internet and NO Anti-Social Media... And the best part... *Solitary Confinement!* It would be just him and Al Capone's ghost... And Capone's ghost would put a hit on him for being such an f'n whiner! *_:)_*

@@TimBear-px9gj Remember that stretch where he was constantly yammering about Capone?

From my understanding, prison is for sentences of a year or more, jail is for shorter sentences.

Ppl like you make me sick. How can you wish that upon your ex president. Get a life

By chanting death to Israel and handing out flyers? Blocking Jewish students from going to class? You lefties just don’t get it.

A zillion likes

No... No to terrorists...foreign or domestic.

​@@meziahdanieljolley8842if your govt is aiding genocide, what would you suggest someone do who doesn't support those acts? thoughts and prayers? "the hypocrisy was the worst part!" ffs, these protesters are protected by the first amendment. we just want to stop the sanctioned murdering of a people group, and you're equating those who object to genocide...with terrorists?? if I was supplying weapons to somebody who was actively murdering your loved ones (and obv you didn't approve of said murder), then you would be, by your own words, a terrorist. wtf, dude

Just don't misgender! That's hate speech.

Some of these people don’t realize it’s a different era. The internet is here. They live in the past.

Steroid use may explain RFK jr.

Judge using reverse psychology on trump. lol

He was looking for an excuse to get out of court. Wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't show.

That was my exact thought. Hate to break it to Baron but he was just a talking point, I hope he doesn’t expect his father to go. If they tell you I fell off the bed and hung myself, I didn’t.

I suspect he’ll claim he was told Secret Service couldn’t make it work without too much disruption. And then play golf instead of using the opportunity for a campaign event …

​@simonsancartier7417 He didn't attend the graduations of his other 4 kids and I bet he won't show up at this one.

He's the same guy who came up with the nickname Cocaine Mitch for McConnell six years ago and McConnell has made it his own so well that people forget it was originally an insult.

The guy seems to have no interest in his own campaign. He sounds so bored that he could barely be bothered to speak in his own video. lol (He's an obvious republican/big money plant to be another Sinema or Joe Manchin.)

"In 2016, Blankenship supported conservative advocacy groups to remove Democrats from the legislature." I'm sure that will bring out the Democratic party faithful to support him.

Yep. He's a Republican through and through - coal baron in Virginia for over thirty years, anti-union, profits over safety and got literally dozens of men killed in his mines. When he was going to be prosecuted for it, he bought himself a Judge. Absolute sc*mbag.

He's joking, isn't he? I thought those ads were a skit! 🤯🤯

Yeah, I thought it was especially telling that when the media were discussing student protests with words like armed intervention and snipers, that state prominently mentioned was Ohio 😮

also like who tf cares about private property of a campus when theres literally murder being funded by the same university

unfortunately that's what Trump wants so he can cry persecution.

Liberial tears you cant stop thinkkn about dinad j. Trump

Those republican vlues

We’re not better off under Biden! Are you that out of touch or a typical seal who claps at propaganda?

One of them must be a squirrel fancier.

I can only assume it's a backwoods WV saying of some sort.

And it's not even close! That guy was jailed for a year for downplaying safety issues in his company's mines that lead to an explosion killing 29 miners!

But at least he didn’t fall off the bed and hang himself, can you say that?

🎵"If they tell you I fell off the bed and squished my cat, I did it!" 🎶 -- Kristi Noem

I agree. Protesting against Israel and Netanyahu does NOT equal antisemitism. 😢

Difference is protesting the Vietnam War got US out of the war. Protesting the Isreal Gaza war is a pub crawl so the students can feel like they're accomplishing anything. Isreal doesn't care what students in America think, those students aren't their potential voters or soldiers.

Yeah it’s not antisemitism to protest Israel but a lot of these students who were arrested were preventing students from attending class and the library during FINALS SEASON (yah know it’s a school still and they are there to learn) and many of whom because they were Jewish. You can look at news reports to verify that as I did. That I will say is antisemitic.

Are you thick or something? What exactly do you think "from the river to the sea" means? I mean, other than ethnic cleansing of the jews. If your press (BBC or CNN) had any integrity whatsoever, they would have told how bloodthirsty are the protesters at columbia university, how more than a hundred thousand Israelis are now homeless and whole cities now vacated. There are 133 kidnapped citizens in Gaza who are being tortured and raped, arabs among them. Not to mention that among the 1,400 murdered Israelis of 7/10 there were arabs, or are you okay with arabs murdering arabs. The double standarts of the west truly know no bounds. And no, I do not support Netanyahu, in fact I think he is scum and I feel horrible for the non-combatants dead Gazans

Honestly the comparison of the protests to Charlottesville are pretty damn on point - especially considering the nature of the slogans that are being chanted. (How many call for the destruction of Israel and Jews everywhere?) Not to mention, The Iranian Regime & Hamas have applauded the current protests.

Good 1

Kavanaugh was an absolute disgrace at his hearing. ANother example that makes me wonder if this world is just a show put on by some jokester and not real at all. It would be an explanation.

At this point we can only wait for one of the other 3 judges to revoke his pre-trial release since Contempt is a crime and committing a crime of any sort in any jurisdiction violates his bail conditions in all 3 cases.

We'd be thrown in jail the moment we showed the slightest bit of attitude in the courtroom.

that or he's in trouble with the mob or something

Yeah, the same people who think the Clinton's wacked a guy in the 2016 election season for the emails thing

OH, LIKE "IF THEY SAY I KLLED MYSELF THEY ARE LYING" TYPE DEAL? That makes sense now .... except no because why in god's name did he choose to phrase it like that?! Now it just sounds like he once did fall off the bed and accidentally hang himself and wants to act like it didn't happen. I mean if someone is talking to you and they randomly say "by the way, I absolutely did not have sex with a pig", you'd think "I never even thought or heard that you did, but when you say it like THAT..."

A sly buffoon?? Or just another panderer to the morons in the voting pool? Allowing schools to become killing grounds sure puts out a fire for wanting to learn. Instead, the pandemic lockdown became the scapegoat for the declining public interest in education for more than a decade.

​ @alexandradaniele I'm no fan of Putin. Please point out what is inaccurate in what I wrote about the snipers

I'm an IU grad (many years ago). The snipers on top of the Student Union broke my heart. That was unnecessary. The students have the right to protest.......but not on University property when they're told to disburse. Two wrongs don't make a right.
