Justice Engoron, in a plea to Trump's attorney, Chris Kise, implored, “Mr. Kise, please control your client.” However, the attempt to rein in Trump proved futile as he continued his tirade, even bringing up the prosecutor's alleged political motives, including what he called her "failed" run for Governor.

Should have charged him with contempt.

Then some asshole judge in East Bumblefuck will charge Biden with contempt, for reasons

So? If you let fear of fascist reprisal stop you from upholding the rule of law, then they've won.

Joe Biden isn't on trial for anything.

  1. So what?

  2. Biden is not on trial. This would be an apparently senile judge yelling at the wind.

This happened in Illinois, some downstate dipshit judge was going to hold the governor in contempt because of emergency declarations during COVID times. It was a political stunt by this jackass named Daren Bailey who then ran for governor and lost. Him and this other dumbass named Dan Proft are funded by the Uihleins who own Uline and are constantly trying to cause problems.

Wait a minute. Judges can't make the right calls because other judges might make the wrong call?

So the answer is for the first judges in question to make the wrong call?

This is what happens when you engage in mental gymnastics. Things just stop making sense unless you're an idiot.
