1. Recall the Pit you felt in your gut when O.J. was Aquitted. Same thing will happen here.

2. It is so grotesque.

How much taxpayer money did this ridiculous spectacle cost? Why the ever loving F is he being treated better than Royalty? Who approved and arranged that travesty?

[Rhiannon12866]

4. Excellent question, he requires a spectacle wherever he goes.

And did this entire spectacle stop with him at the RW meeting place where he greeted supporters??

[Richard D]

6. I dont know the answer to this . . .

. . . is the same deference shown to the Clintons or the Obamas?

[Rhiannon12866]

7. When was the last time we saw a motorcade accompanying either of them?

On the other hand, when was the last time they had to appear in federal court?

[Richard D]

8. They should have made him . . .

. . . take a frickin bus.

[Rhiannon12866]

9. LOL! Or made him drive himself like an ordinary American!

[Richard D]

10. I somehow doubt

He's ever driven anything other than a golf cart.

11. Well, there was that truck...

3. Judge Aileen Cannon was born to Cuban Mother

Coincidence that Trump stopped after arraignment at a Cuban restaurant???

I think not!

5. Sadly 'significant.'

12. "Don't look away!"

Strongly stated IMHO -- thanks for posting.

13. Steve Schmidt is continuing to speak out, saying what needs to be said, no equivocating

I still remember the first time I saw him, he was on with Nicolle Wallace and he delivered the best anti-TFG rant that I'd ever heard! And he hasn't slowed down or backed off...

[0rganism]

14. he's like the Bob Mould of political commentary

Something about the cadence of his voice -- just really up-front and solid on the beats, laying down the plain unvarnished truth of our peculiar situation which, hate to say, looks like it's going to be a sordid and disappointing slice of history's long-running indictment of humanity.

[Rhiannon12866]

15. Plus he previously worked for John McCain

So he must harbor resentments over TFG's attacks on him: "I like people who weren't captured" - not to mention Lindsey Graham's inexplicable 180! And I agree Steve Schmidt is a powerful speaker...
