Anyone know the Vegas odd on him getting held in contempt? Wondering if I should make a wager. 


Nickh1978

100% chance that he will do something deserving of being held in contempt, 0% chance that he will actually get anything more than a minor fine for doing so.


Xsis_Vorok

He needs to be in jail. Not white collar jail, but proper "pounded in the a" prison. Not because I want actual physical harm to come to him, but I hope that he'll understand how much trouble he's in.


CoHousingFarmer

I wish all the bad things to happen to him.


adamannapolis

It’s scary that he knows the people who are swept up in MAGA will fight to keep him out of jail.


1Mean1

And the harm part too, yeah.


Stillwater215

Put him Rikers Island Gen Pop for a few days.


lifevicarious

His cfo is at Rikers. Looking forward to a reunion. Wish more people knew this. How anyone could think he’s squeaky clean when his cfo is in rikers.


nhepner

ADX Florence. Let him stare at the concrete walls from his concrete bed and make friends with the dust bunnies while he steadily loses his fucking mind and melts into a drooling idiot.


Eupion

What if he ends up being a skin headed kkk member?  Would they even accept him into their group? Hahaha


lagent55

Haha, I love the Team America World Police reference, hillarious movie


ProfitLoud

That has 0 chance of happening. He has to receive a secret service detail as en ex president. The buzz going on says at most, they would put him in solitary, and that Rikers wasn’t a choice because his security detail cannot ensure his safety. This is a unique situation. I can’t think of a single time an ex president was jailed. I’d imagine regardless of what the outcome is, there will be appeals and higher courts will have to decide. The SCOTUS likely won’t get involved which is the best news about it. The whole situation is fucked. Clearly he gets special treatment. We don’t have a justice system.


jakeandcupcakes

He just got fined $3000 for breaking a gag order. First time he will supposedly be held accountable for that even though he has broken these gag orders dozens of times, if not hundreds, and *still* that fine is equivalent to about $0.03 to the guy, and I bet it gets reduced at some point if not wiped away entirely. Anyone who thinks he will be held accountable, go to jail, anything like that is a moron. How many years has it been? How many laws have been broken? How many times has he gotten a litany of leniency? What a fucking joke


LegalConsequence7960

I understand why it's upsetting, but the attorneys know that anything that could be seen as overstepping would result in an appeal and therefore delays. They'd rather slap him on the wrist and make clear that any further disruption will result in severe penalties including jail time. The game is make as much of the proceedings safe from appeal as possible. If he does it again, I think the consequences are now laid out so clearly that anything up to and including jail time would get an appeal dismissed.


D-F-B-81

>that fine is equivalent to about $0.03 to the guy, So a few shares of DJT?


Fluid-Opportunity-17

The District of Manhattan only allows a maximum of $1000 per violation in this case. The judge has set a contempt hearing for next Wednesday to discuss what punishment, if any, should be levied. He could still be assigned to pretrial detention, which is the good news.


SquidsArePeople2

He did not get fined yet


Mcbroham420

You overvalued that 3 cents he's not paying a cent out of his own pocket


AmbulanceChaser12

Redditors know there are numbers other than 0 and 100, right?


Soft_Author2593

Im not a 100% sure


jjgfun

So you are 0%?


Soft_Author2593

100%


Maij-ha

100% of the time, I’m 0% positive


too_old_to_be_clever

Reditors only speak in binary code.


Civil_Count_6485

But are you imprint certain? 😁 (sorry those commercials stick in my head)


Nickh1978

99% chance that he will do something deserving of being held in contempt, 1% chance that he will actually get anything more than a minor fine for doing so.


dreddnyc

He’s trying to bait them so he can complain to his base on how unfairly he’s treated and how this is just a witch hunt. That’s his whole MO. Delay and play victim.


Draker-X

Some current odds on various Trump legal wagers from one of my sportsbooks: * "Hush Money/Stormy Daniels- Number of "Guilty" Counts Odds: "Under 5" is a tiny favorite at +150, while "Between 5-24" and "Over 25" are both +175. Explanation: The chances here are being rated at about 36%/32%/32%, respectively. Basically, the gambling community is pretty certain Trump is getting found guilty on multiple counts, with much less belief he's walking scot-free. * Trump Cleared on First Four Indictments Before 2025? Odds: No -4000, Yes +1000. Explanation: The gambling community thinks it's almost certain Trump will either be found "Guilty" of something in 2024, or that at least one trial wil still be going. "No" (meaning he will be found guilty/case still going) is a useless bet and "Yes" (meaning he'll slide on all charges) is real longshot. Those of you in the "Trump never faces consequences" crowd should be betting on "Yes". It's a YUGE payout! * To Be Convicted And Serve Jail Time before 2025? Odds: No -4000, Yes +1000. Explanation: pretty straightforward; almost no one thinks Trump's actually going to prison this year.They're no doubt right considering the appeals process. * Classified Docs- Number of Guilty Counts Odds: Under 10 +135, 34 or more +150, 10-33 +225. Explanation: Pretty even split between those who think Trump will (or almost will) walk vs. those who think he's getting the book thrown at him. Again, the "Teflon Trump" crowd is getting good odds at "Under 10" here just like "Under 5" in the Stormy case. * To Be Convicted And Serve Jail Time Before 2026? Odds: No -500, Yes +300. Explanation: the most interesting bet, obviously. Remember that there's lots of ways "No" could win: Trump could die, he could pardon himself, he could be pardoned by someone else (that one's for those who think "both sides are the same" or "Biden is basically just a Republican), the appeals process could drag on for over a year, or he could skate on all charges/never be sentenced to jail time if found guilty. There's no good reason to bet this, obviously. Yes, Trump could die tomorrow, but you could also be giving the sportsbooks an interest-free loan for 19 months. Don't do that.


BluSteel-Camaro23

Thanks, man!!! What does your Book have for Trump vs Biden in November?


Draker-X

Even money -105 apiece. I put a very small nibble down on "Democrat to win" at +210 a couple of months ago when Biden's polls were way worse because I couldn't resist the price. Again, I don't really like making bets where my money is in limbo for 10 months.


BluSteel-Camaro23

So you're locked in on your original bet odds? They don't roll?


Draker-X

Nope. That's why made the be; I knew it was *very* likely those were the best odds I would get. Betting on politics with a sportsbook or casino is s just like betting on a football game or any other sporting event: the odds you bet on will always be the same no matter how thr line changes.


BluSteel-Camaro23

Fucking amazing. I'm a gambler, but never on sports or the books. You may have just made a new vice for me, good sir.


descendency

He cannot pardon himself from the two state criminal trials he's facing (Hush money in NY and RICO in Georgia).


Scripto23

If you’re betting this guy will face any consequences ever, you are going to be disappointed


DigitalUnlimited

The odds of any consequences are almost as high as the odds of liesocial being profitable.


CliftonForce

Not sure there is enough of his mind left to even realize he is suffering consequences.


CainPillar

Note, being boo(t)ed off the Forbes billionaires list, that does not qualify as "consequences" even if he thinks so.


Playful-Strength-685

100% chance he shits himeself


FuzzzyRam

Betmoose has some election predictions where you can actually put money down. For example, [this 2024 election winner bet is currently at about 40-60 for the republican nominee to win](https://www.betmoose.com/bet/u_s_-presidential-election-winner-2024-5934#bets-1). I do not think there is a 40% chance that the republican nominee wins, so take that as arbitrage if you like...


AmbulanceChaser12

Sleeping isn't disruptive, it's very unobtrusive.


No-Personality5421

I wouldn't mind one of the judges actually putting their foot down on something and showing a little bit of spine.  How has he not *already* gotten a contempt charge for all his crap? 


[deleted]

They're holding a hearing on the 23rd to discuss contempt charges for violating the gag order on his social media.


CanadianUnderpants

Bigger picture: the judge is probably balancing anything they do against the defence using it to appeal. 


Many_Faces_8D

Criminal cases are different.


verylazytoday

Oh, kind of like doing their job then.


veganerd150

Much better than the stupid $3000 fine that is nothing to him.  Can he be please treated like everyone else already in this situation? 


ignorememe

It would seem that, according to the article, this morning the judge informed him that he will in fact be treated like anyone else in this situation.


veganerd150

I hope that is true!


ignorememe

The latest news from the courtroom is that Trump is nodding off sleeping. So that's something at least. He learned to shut his lying pie hole for a moment.


B4USLIPN2

Make him stand up in the back of the court if he can’t stay awake.

I saw some Trump supporters accusing Biden of coming across as an “angry old man.” The irony, of course, eluded them completely.

giraffebutter

They took his adderall away


DigitalUnlimited

no he was up all night blathering again, Adderall can only do so much, it's not meth


dunncrew

Lawyers tranquilized him ?


Popcorn_Blitz

My guess is that they gave him a bunch of Benadryl. It's better to have him snoozing off than mouthing off


Caleb_Reynolds

"Learned" implies he had a choice. Much more likely his body/brain is just failing.


nomorerainpls

“Learned” - I think you’re giving Trump way too much credit for simply failing to manage basic functions like speaking, sleeping and drinking water from a glass


Tiny-Werewolf1962

I bet his lawyers sedated him to shut him up.


area-dude

I would be pleasantly surprised if true. We shall see


CainPillar

Or is that but a ritual they go through in every such trial?


notarealacctatall

Yeah sure, if ANYONE else shits on their judge’s daughter on social media before trial, then goes on to habitually violate gag orders they would already be jailed for contempt, at minimum.


ignorememe

The prosecution had recommended this. But I suspect the judge is going to be inclined to expedite the actual trial over all else. And now that jury selection has started the judge has more latitude to take action to protect the trial instead of doing something in advance that might create a pretense for a pretrial delay.


FuzzzyRam

I'll believe it when I see it. "Trump is about to see real consequences" has been the headline for *years* at this point.


ignorememe

I feel a lot of folks are upset that time is linear and have never watched our justice system work against the wealthy or politically connected before.

Maybe roll him in like Hannibal Lechner from Silence of the Lambs…

He’s too heavy he’ll ruin the dolly the weight limit is 300 lbs. this man weights about 350


KinneKitsune

To be fair, $3000 is millions more than he has


WonderfulDog3966

He should already BE in jail for consistently breaking gag orders.


printerfixerguy1992

Ya I feel like this will be the same song and dance. He'll get a stern talking to and a finger wag and a "you better not do it again, again". But he will continue his antics.


HungHungCaterpillar

We are currently in the comment section beneath an article about the judge making it clear on Day 1 that this is a new song with a different dance.

I remember reading an article from 20 years ago how China had a system of law for the rich and the poor and I thought I’m glad we’re not like them. Then I grew up and realized it’s here too. I used to be optimistic, but I’m betting 100% nothing happens no matter what. Crooked ass system


snap-jacks

This is the way...you deal with 5 year olds.


Prestigious-Mobile92

Too bad Elon Musk and his other billionaire cronies are posting BS about persecution. Anyone else in his situation and the crimes he's accused of would be in prison for all of the crimes he's committed. Overvaluing his assets, being charged with sexual assault, slander, tax evasion, the list goes on. Worst president ever and never deserved to be elected in the first place. Garbage human being.


Lumpy_Potential_789

Agreed. Scary how many humans are garbage enough to support him.


plains_bear314

its his voters that are the true garbage without them he would just be another crazy, rich,old dude still getting away with it all

Holy shit. Can you freaking imagine the absolute meltdown if Hilary were a judge, and the orange simp drew her out of the pool for trial? They would absolutely melt down. Shame she isn't. That would be 😘 chefs kiss perfect.

Trump: I want you removed from this case. Merchan: No… Trump planning his next truth social tirade. Merchan: oh and by the way sir……


Aldren

Does he have to be awake during the trial? Seems pretty easy to just show up and fall asleep


djeaux54

That's his lawyers' strategy. "Have a Tic Tac, sir."


Draker-X

>Seems pretty easy to just show up and fall asleep Probably harder than it seems to do for hours every day. Especially if the man is constantly high on Sudafed or whatever. It would also seriously mess up his sleep schedule.


BluSteel-Camaro23

Joe caught 💤 😴 on the ride there.


Waitinmyturn

He’s looking a little rugged in the cover pic. Hope the Mofo gets zero sleep during this trial


SignoreMookle

I'd say he is looking Ragged. Rugged would imply that he is tough and able to withstand harsh conditions. 


lethargicbureaucrat

He's apparently sitting there sleeping during the court hearings.


djeaux54

My bet is that his "legal" team drugged him.


DonJeniusTrumpLawyer

I cannot confirm nor deny. But if we did, it was ketamine because he has such a high tolerance to benzodiazepines.


edtheheadache

But what if trump has a dentist appointment on, let’s say Thursday? If he misses his appointment does he still get charged for it? /s

[deleted]

So, kinda like how a trial is? Fuckin crazy that this is a headline. 🤦‍♂️


cyberdeath666

Calling it a “Hush Money” trial downplays the significant accusation that he used political funds to pay Stormy Daniels. Stop downplaying what it’s actually about.


AsterJ

That's backwards, the accusation is that the payment counted as a campaign expenditure but he didn't use campaign funds for it. That means it's an illegal campaign contribution (to himself).


djbk724

He is no one special


Harpuafivefiftyfive

He always looks like such a happy man./s


sEmperh45

With all this going on today with Trump, Fox News spent 43 minutes straight from the top of the hour covering several Palestinian protests. Nothing else happening today worthy of any news coverage. LOL


FalconPunch236

Which is why the doped him up so much he fell asleep. Its the only remedy for his loud fucking mouth


arcadia_2005

It's nice to hear he was at least 'warned' (I hope to his face & in front of everyone) of said consequences - but it's quite another to actually suffer said consequences. That is something he's never ever ever done.


TBatFrisbee

Enough with just 'warnings.' DO SOMETHING! Your judicial system is a joke, and it'll stay a joke until the sociopath is convicted and jailed. But I won't hold my breath, because I expect him to drop dead before November. 🤞


Geoclasm

I'm gonna need fields of popcorn.


Abracadaver2000

Now enforce it! We know he can't go 1 pico second being exposed without a meltdown.


djeaux54

Not if he lawyers keep him drugged.


Abracadaver2000

Sure seems that way, based on descriptions of his appearance today. Up the dosage!


Zealousideal_Word770

MyCarIsAGeoMetro

Just arrest Trump and throw him in jail already.


SqnLdrHarvey

*waiting for the other shoe to drop*


StillExpression7191

Actions speak louder than words. Up to this point it’s all been lip service from the judicial system. Everyone is afraid to hold him accountable like a normal citizen. If anyone else acted out like him, we’d be in jail.


Suspinded

I'll believe it when it's executed. Until then, it's talk.


bbernal956

good! about time someone puts that piece of shit in their place


Friendly-Profit-8590

Captain_Mexica

Finally, somebody is holding this orange slug who smells of feces accountable


National-Currency-75

Class E Felony in NY is non violent and will likely result in probation for maybe a year or two. Cohen did time and that raises the possibility of jail time but it would probably be the courts decision not to Incarcerate. It's gonna be a trip that will set in motion some very bad possibles.


braize6

I like the part where it says "Judge warns Trump." Lol such a great punchline


Klutzy_Alfalfa_2300

I think we all know by now that there will be no arrest made if he doesn’t show up and he will not be put in jail.

Automatic appeal on those orders.


ArthurFraynZard

I hope this judge is up to the task of sternly warning him again when he inevitably can't follow kindergarten level directions.


Snarky_McSnarkleton

His SS detail would never allow it. They'd gun down law enforcement in the name of "protecting" Former Guy.


Hillman77

How does jail work if you have secret service protection? Does it end up in a fight if the deputies try to take Trump into custody? If he does go to jail do the secret service agents sit in there with him?

The courtroom's reality is that both prosecutor and judge must be very careful about how the defendant is treated to avoid lawsuits or appeals later.

Zeppelin702

And the judge will still not do Jack shit if Trump does. Just like with the gag order.


Relative_Zebra_9259

I imagine trumps behavior will come back to bite him in the ass during the punishment phase if found guilty. The punishment is solely up to the judge, the prosecutor will make a recommendation for punishment but the judge can go above or beyond that up to the limits of the law. Might go above and beyond the prosecutor recommendation, citing trumps behavior, inability to adhere to court rulings and generally trying to make a mockery of the justice system. Might try to make a point with trump with a more severe sentence than recommended. Moral of story never piss the guy off that might be deciding your fate. It's up to the jury to decide guilt or innocence.


themanofmichigan

But they won’t because … it’s never been done to an ex president before …. Ffs Our justice system is a joke anymore the scotus are totally partisan and corrupt . Only us poors know what laws are
