The judge in Donald Trump's defamation trial threatens to expel him after he ignored warnings to stay quiet during testimony.

    Trump just can’t stand having to follow the same rules as everyone else.

    Habba called the judge’s ruling “insanely prejudicial” and the judge soon afterward cut her off, saying he would “hear no further argument on it.”

    Habba told the judge: “I will not be spoken to that way, your honor.” When she mentioned the funeral again, the judge responded: “It’s denied. Sit down. Bring in the jury.”

    So… she would be spoken to that way.

      What kind of ridiculous thing is that to say to a judge, anyway?

        Yeah, one thing a judge can pretty much do without question is talk to you however the hell they damn well please.

          If they are enough of an unreasonable asshole it can come up in appeal though.

          I would imagine using language bigoted against a protected class would not help their decision stick.

        What do you expect from the lawyer who befriended a sexual assault victim, convinced to to drop her existing lawyer for her, then had the victim sign an NDA and accept a pittance sum for suffering through years of sexual abuse. At one of Trump’s golf courses.

        Then turned around to Trump and said “look what I did for you”. Which is how she got the current job.

        As I said above, Habba is stupid. Trump-level stupid. He likes her because she has Melania’s body type and I wouldn’t be surprised if he was fucking her.

          I don’t imagine he fucks anyone. Aside from the every American.

            I hope nobody who does anything for Trump gets paid at all.

              Yes and no. Trump having less money, good, but people having an incentive to work for him, bad.

        It’s three-ring-circus clown riding a rodeo clown into a mime’s balls (which are wearing a jester’s cap) level ridiculous.
