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

[-] noride@lemm.ee 56 points 9 months ago

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.

There's a Key and Peele sketch hidden in there

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.

[-] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 22 points 9 months ago

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

[-] MagicShel@programming.dev 12 points 9 months ago

Oof... now I really hope she's getting paid up front.

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 14 points 9 months ago

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

[-] squiblet@kbin.social 2 points 9 months ago

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.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
