What's this "put Trump in jail for a few hours" BS?

[Pototan]

And I mean bullshit. I have heard some pundits that I really like, and respect say that Trump may be put in jail for a "couple of hours or so". That won't be much of an inconvenience, and he gets the talking point with no real punishment.

If Judge Merchan is going to incarcerate the orange piece of shit, it should be at least overnight. And it should be after a Monday session so he can get up from jail early in the morning and get ready for court by himself. Let's see how his hair and makeup look when he has no help.

1. I would like to see that!

“Let's see how his hair and makeup look when he has no help.”

The more I think about it, the more I want to see it.

7. I'd like to see it, also.

Hopefully, he’ll also have a backache from sleeping (or tossing and turning) on a prison issued cot.

2. Yeah, if that threshold is going to be crossed, it should be overnight.

TFG has already complained about sitting in the courtroom for so many hours per day. A few additional hours in a different room during the afternoon/evening isn't any kind of punishment, not really.

It would need to be from the word "go" until the following sunrise to even register as anything qualitatively different from what he's doing several days per week already.

3. Over the weekend

Would be a good start.

4. Three day weekend.

10. The judge probably won't interfere with the only campaign time Trump has now.

Jail would have to be during court time or overnight.

[Old Crank]

14. That is what he gets

For delaying the trial.
Throw him in for a weekeend. FAFO time.

15. What Trump really deserves is beside the point.

He should be locked up right now for life in a supermax prison with 24 hour isolation.

But we have to deal with reality.

The judge doesn't want anything turned over in appeals court.

And he doesn't want the optics of looking like he is interfering with a presidential campaign.

He most likely is looking at baby steps in his actions.
Appeal courts like that.

And the public will accept it better.
And less likely Trump can use it to play victim.
He will look like a baby. Like whining about the courtroom temperature.

[Old Crank]

16. This thread is a wish list

not what will actually happen.
In a just world he would have been tried and convicted already.
Fake Judge Cannon wouldn't be still holing his hand and the Supreme court would have slapped his lawyers down for trying to make him king.

[Irish_Dem]

17. I think the judge may order jail time.

He has already threatened it.
He doesn't seem like a bullshitter in the least.

But he will do it in very measured terms.

The thread was intended to be based in reality.
But I am fine with it being a fantasy list.
My fantasy is Trump in Supermax for life.

5. Yesterday a fellow DUer suggested that a better punishment would be community service

Like picking up trash along the highway along with fellow convicts. He might complain about jail, but that would involve no effort on his part. And it might mess up his hair and smear his makeup.

[Irish_Dem]

11. Interesting idea, but Trump will refuse to do it.

And so we are back to a standoff with the judge or jail time.

[Rhiannon12866]

12. There's a jail cell through a door in the back of the courtroom for incarcerated defendants waiting for trial

He can spend the rest of the trial there.

[Irish_Dem]

13. Yes I think that is an option.

Put Trump in isolation and he can view the proceedings via a TV feed.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

6. I have a suggestion...

[Staph]

8. If he's going to be held overnight,

make sure that his height and weight are formally taken at the jail. And then released to the public. That would embarrass him bigly!

[Irish_Dem]

9. I think overnight is a good option too.

We have to face realty.

Judges don't seem to have the courage to do the right thing with Trump.

So we have to come up with ideas based on that fact and use psychology in our favor.

Trump going to jail overnight or a few hours is going to be hell for Trump.
Humiliating and terrifying.

He is a coward and baby.
