It was 30 minutes, after which the judge yelled at them some more. Seems ok in this instance.

That's nothing. I guess people are a bit jumpy when it comes to delays after the Judge Aileen Cannon fiasco

With literally every court case against Trump: the stolen secret documents case, the election interference case, the hush money/other election interference case, the rape case, the bank fraud case....

Trump has just been running out the clock and getting away with every kind of criminal activity.

To be fair, donald did originally say He could walk up main street and shoot someone and nothing would happen to him. That it would probably make his followers love him more. He's been telling everyone this whole time he is untouchable and so far it seems like everyone is proving him right.

Imagine destroying a whole entire country and a quarter of a millennia worth of democracy (give or take a little) just because you didn’t wanna face your time in jail.

I hate these people. I really really hate these people

Thank god, thought they were saved by their own staggering incompetence to do anything but mindlessly agree with their leader and harm others.
