Don’t hesitate. Don’t show fear. Don’t weigh. That’s a huge part of why all this bullshit that Trump does works, is because that’s how he does it because he’s too stupid to make it work any other way. I mean I’m happy if this guy wants to hold someone in contempt now, and I get wanting to think it through because no takes backsies if you escalate something further than you meant to… but. From my comfortable non expert safety position, I feel like it should have been:
Judge: “what’s up with these deportation flights after my order”
Trump lawyer a week ago: “well we’re not going to discuss that today”
Judge a week ago: “Okay sounds good 3 days for contempt, bailiffs if you can take him into custody. Do you have someone you want who can take your wallet, or do you just want it to go into jail property?”
