Trump's m.o. is to insult, name call, and obfuscate. When all else fails, just insult everyone. He's truly the best example of leadership the Republican party can produce.

That is covered under federal court rules. The judge has to rule to allow it, not rule to stop it. The standard is for no broadcasting of trials, but the judge can decide to allow it in some cases. Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 53 provides: "Except as otherwise provided by a statute or these rules, the court must not permit the taking of photographs in the courtroom during judicial proceedings or the broadcasting of judicial proceedings from the courtroom."Photography is not a constitutional right. Bolshoi! If you are standing in a public place, you can photograph, and record, Anything. That includes FBI HQ as well as Trump Tower. There is no "expectation of privacy" within line of sight ... Telephoto lens' included. There are limits on how the material can be used commercially, but that's a civil matter.

Explain that to me again. You are galacticallty stupid. Would you prefer a legal explanation? No longer in active practice, but my Visa card reads "bar association". If not, perhaps another opinion, backed by an A.S.M.P. card. ( "American Society of Magazine Photographers" ). The only exceptions are the interiors of some publicly accessible buildings. They come under the umbrella of "The Airport and Courthouse Exception". Local governments can designate rooms the size of a closet as "courtrooms". That allows them to restrict access to an entire building as they see fit. It's a dirty trick, but small towns and rural counties get away with it.

Explain that to me again. You are galacticallty stupid. The Supreme Court declared there are three types of public forums. There are Traditional public forums like a sidewalk, park, and open meeting places where your right to public speech can not be infringed. You have constitutional rights to record events and take photography. You can not interfere with public officials working such a police officers involved in a crime, but you can record all you want. There are limited public forums like many government buildings. libraries, post offices, etc where they are allowed Time, Place, and Manner restrictions. You can record within those restrictions. The last is non public forums where your constitutional rights do not exist. Secure buildings, areas where confidential information may be, private offices, court houses. Your rights of free speech do not exist in such buildings. Social Security offices, Driver's License offices (but only the area where confidential material is. The waiting room is usually a limited public forum) Hope that explains it satisfactorily.

He's been planning this all along. To go to jail is his goal.

Considering the diaper, I'd consider him more Gandhi like. Well, except for the whole violent insurrection and trying to hang the VP thingy.

"King Midas In Reverse"
It seems that everything Donald Trump touches turns to crap.
Now, the bond he supposedly posted is being called into question.
There will be a hearing before judge Engoron ... who will have a few pointed questions.
The billionaire "king of subprime car loans" evidently has never posted a bond before.
Then, he went on numerous news channels and ran off his mouth.
It turns out that his subsidiary company, that supposedly posted the bond, doesn't have enough cash.
Not only that, but when asked where the money came from to secure the bond, he said "I don't know.".
This brings up several questions, not the least of which is: Have any money laundering laws been broken"?
The potential is here to blow up Trump's facade once and for all: He's functionally broke, and headed for jail.
His own business records will rat him out ... the court appointed monitor has new powers and duties.
She now has the entire web of Trump's corporations and trusts under her thumb.
If even that lowered bond amount can't be "proven", the interest will begin to accrue all over again.
Assets can and will be forfeited, and the slow slide towards ignominy will continue.

Well, where's the response from the Trump loyalists?

Still waiting ...
The next few days should prove interesting.
Less than a week before the attorneys begin to pick a jury.
"Peers" might be hard to find ... but I'm certain New Yorkers will rise to the challenge.

Just can't understand why his 70 million followers can't just cough up 175 million. Not to mention his Saudi, Ruski, and North Korean friends.

A personal donation, over $10K, might bring with it a hefty tax penalty. Should we be looking forward a heavy discount on "Golden Sneakers"? What new source of revenue could he possibly find? How low will he go to spend other peoples cash instead of his own? I predict that Trump will deploy an "homage" to Alex Jones, and start peddling boner pills. Admittedly, it's hard to visualize a pecker "printing" on a loin-cloth while Trump preaches from a cross. Watch out for that Crown of Thorns ...

"A group of 19 retired four-star generals and admirals and former secretaries of the Army, Navy and Air Force filed a brief with the Supreme Court on Monday, saying former President Donald Trump’s claim of “absolute immunity” from criminal prosecution is “an assault” on the military’s “foundational commitments” to the rule of law and civilian control." "In a bid for the dismissal of federal charges against him for trying to overturn the 2020 election, Trump has claimed that presidents have “absolute immunity” from criminal prosecution for all acts taken while in office, unless they have been impeached and convicted for those acts. A federal appeals court rejected his argument on Feb. 6, but he appealed that decision to the Supreme Court, which will hear arguments on April 25." "The former military officials say in their brief that Trump’s assertion of absolute immunity would put members of the military in an “untenable position,” where they would need to choose between their duty to follow orders within the chain of command and their duty to disobey unlawful orders." “Immunizing the Commander-in-Chief from criminal prosecution, as Petitioner argues for here, would fly in the face of that duty, creating the likelihood that service members will be placed in the impossible position of having to choose between following their Commander-in-Chief and obeying the laws enacted by Congress,” their brief states." “Some political appointees might prioritize their loyalty to the President above their oaths and transmit the orders to violate the law, thus passing on to senior military leaders the dilemma of whether to obey the President or the law,” Monday’s brief states. “Alternatively, should the President’s civilian appointees and senior military leaders resign in protest or be summarily fired for refusing to obey the President’s unlawful orders, the Department of Defense would be without the civilian and military leadership that is indispensable to safeguarding our national security.” "Indeed, a partial version of the latter scenario unfolded in 2020 after Trump fired Defense Secretary Mark Esper for publicly stating that the military would play no role in Trump’s efforts to overturn his election loss. Multiple top-ranking policy officials resigned in protest over Esper’s firing, while top military brass, including Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Mark Milley, discussed resigning if Trump should order them to deploy the military to execute a coup to allow him to stay in power." www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/retired-military-officials-issue-grave-warning-about-trump-s-claim-to-absolute-immunity/ar-BB1llTRV?rc=1&ocid=winp1taskbar&cvid=e8903ddddd1241e2d724557073559c21&ei=55
