S.E. TN Liberal

I worry for TraitorTrump... [View all]

...what if all of his lawyers get smart and quit on him, will the judge have to appoint a public defender to represent him?

Why should he be defended with my tax dollars? Take it out of Melania's shoe allowance.

How much will republican'ts whine about the sorry state of public defender offices where they are underpaid, understaffed, and overworked?
