I’ll set the point at four months. Just about nothing would get him locked up faster, so I’m all for it! ---

He wouldn’t directly threaten. He’d say something like, “What miserable drones and traitors have I nourished and brought up in my household, who let their lord be treated with such shameful contempt by a low-born ~~cleric~~ judge?” Except much less eloquent, of course. ---

One “success” for that kind of appeal would be the quickest way to get every judge everywhere 100% against him. Not a break would he catch, not in any court, not about anything. Judges, as a rule, have no truck with face-eating leopards. Not to mention greatly increased security for any judges handling his cases, and their families. ---

I believe there are now 78 felony counts, and Trump is 78. Poetic, for a lifetime of crime. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > Feel free to add to this as more indictments come down the pike. I’m more inclined to poetry. Shall I compare thee to a summer’s indictment? Thou art more slovenly and more distemperate. Rough winds do shake the darling Bud Lites of May, And summer’s courts hath all too short a date. Sometimes too fat the guy of McDonald’s lies, And often is his tan complexion dimmed; And every UNFAIR! from UNFAIR! sometime declines, By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed; But thy eternal butthurt shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that UNFAIR! thou moan’st, Soon shall death brag thou wand’rest in his shade, When in eternal lines to Time thou grow’st. So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives lies from thee. ---

At todays hearing Trump waited for the magistrate judge to enter the courtroom for over 20 minutes. I hope he fumed the whole time while his precious time (and prestige) was wasted. ---
