Judge grabbed him by the pussy
They let you do that when you're a judge
Dog, not cat.
You ever try telling a cat to sit? It's best to not.
Man, I found this weirdly satisfying: "But just as the judge neared the end of his sentence, Trump abruptly stood up—apparently thinking the day was over. Immediately, Merchan turned his face to the former president and said in a firm voice: 'Sir, can you please have a seat.' His long, black robes dangled from beneath his right hand as he waved it down, like a man addressing his dog. It wasn’t a question. Without hesitation, Trump went and plopped straight back down into his maroon leather chair at the defense table—and remained for another minute, fuming as the judge gathered his paperwork and strolled toward his chambers."
I have never once called my dog “sir”. This is a sensationalized headline to the maximum.
Trump stood up to early and a judge, politely, asked him to sit back down. Trump did so without bitching.
This actually made the news.
Edit AND NOW ITS A TOP STORY HAHAHAHAA
To be fair Trump doing literally fucking anything that someone other than Vladimir Putin asked him to do, without bitching about it, is incredibly newsworthy. In fact I’m not sure it’s ever happened before.
Man must be sweet for Trump's pr team who can just take the day off and go suck each other off instead. Another media cycle secured
If he really was clicking his tongue as he walked out of the court, that’s what my MIL started doing as her Alzheimer’s dementia started getting bad.
Your dog deserves the title more than Donald does.
I call my cat "madam" kind of a lot. But she's very fancy.
I call my cat sir all the time. I also tell him to get a job all the time.
When my dog is acting up I tell him he's adopted. Sometimes it backfires though cause he just looks happy at the fact.
Maybe my cat bites me for disrespecting her station. That's a good tip, thank you.
Wow do you even respect your dog?
You don't have a dog do you?
You don't? I call mine Mr. Floofers, Señor Flooferson and, around St. Patty's day he wanted to be Shamus O'Floof. None of those are anywhere close to his actual name.
After only a few years, my dog has been knighted, has an honorary doctorate, is a king, and occasionally a monsignor. He also has a deep lineage on both the Floofington and Sheddingsworth lines.
Yeah from the headline I thought the judge said "sit like a dog" to him.
“The fair and impartial jury cannot be selected in New York county as evidenced by the extreme difficulty in procuring a venire resulting from the significant bias against President Trump that permeates the jury pool,” they wrote.
Pro tip: if you don't want to be tried by a New York jury, don't commit crimes in New York.
Normally I’m not a fan of these nothingburger stories, but this made me chuckle.
I think I am going to have to agree with you. Headlines like that tend to just turn me off. But thinking about it they should have just gone full send and said "made him sit like a cute cat girl."
For all his anger, Trump couldn't even stay awake:
Trump appears to have fallen asleep in court again. It happened several times just now. His eyes were closed for extended periods and his head dropped down twice.
Its by no means uncommon for people to nod off during court proceedings. Especially in the early stages like this, you'd be hard pressed to find any activity that's more boring. You're rarely engaged with, can't get up or play on your phone, don't understand anything that's being discussed and are stuck in the least interesting room in the world.
Though, you'd expect the goddamn president to be able to at least fake attentiveness. It's not like he's never had to sit through a boring briefing before. Fucking hell....
Court staff didn’t illustrate the documents so he could understand
Meanwhile I was enthralled with the updates every minute on CNN. I guess it's different when you're on trial.
He’s so tired, why do they keep making him run fir president?
Dispute all his rage....
Without hesitation, Trump went and plopped straight back down into his maroon leather chair
Plopped? This just made me think about the consequences of him plopping down on a diaper that must be rather full after all day in court. That poor chair...
I've just started seeing memes today for Diaper Don. The little I can find dates back to the Apprentice.
Anything else to confirm the hateful right are putting their all their hopes in a senior wearing depends and taking streaming dumps in front of others?
Yes, it does go back to the Apprentice. One staffer from the show, comic Noel Casler, who worked on the Apprentice for six years, blew off the NDA he signed and did a set in which he claimed, among many things, that Trump was incontinent from all the Adderall he's taken. I recommend that your read this interview with him or find the set he did on Youtube (sorry, I don't have a link). Other celebrities, Kathy Griffith and Tom Arnold, both came out as supporting Noel Casler as a credible person.
Personally, I take his claims with a grain of salt. However, there some things that make me think that there very well may be some truth to it. Foremost is Trump's complete lack of response or even comment on Casler's accusations. With as litigious as Trump is about NDAs, I can't understand why Trump hasn't sued Casler unless the claim has some truth to them that Trump knows will come out in a trial.
In addition to the above, several people have come out in the last year or two and started talking about Trump's smell. For example, Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger said:
I’m genuinely surprised how people close to Trump haven’t talked about the odor. It’s truly something to behold. Wear a mask if you can.
There are also plenty of pictures and videos where it certainly appears that Trump is wearing a diaper. On the whole, I think it's more likely than not that he wears diapers.
He would look good in a shock collar.
Maybe rub his face against the border wall while firmly stating "NO!"
If he starts acting up in court, just start squirting water from a spray bottle at him.
This is sad. The judge should have thrown him a treat once he did sit.
Reward the good behaviour or how else will Trump get house trained?
"He looked straight toward the wooden double doors in back, ignoring reporters in the pews and clicking his tongue as he approached the EXIT sign." Uhhh... Like in Hereditary?
To be fair, clicking one's tongue did exist before Hereditary.
What saggy beta bitch loser, sit dog SIT.
Judge Kagome: "~~Inuyasha~~ Donald Trump, SIT BOY!"
O SU WA RI!
Trump will continue doing stupid shit like this through the entire trial, get convicted, then complain the whole thing was unfair because he didn't get to do what he wanted.
Once they get them house trained he might just be presidential material!
Actually, waving your hand up instead of down is a better Sit motion, because dogs can't look up easily without sitting.
if it makes him feel better he is not a good boy. I hope it doesn't.
