Why not put him in jail?

In the real world, people get tossed behind bars for their first contempt of court.

Breaking: Trump argues that since the memo line of his check to Cohen did not say "criminal payment" then he is innocent.

@SecularJeffrey Easy! Tap and hold the space bar. That turns the keyboard into a touchpad. Then you can slide to the exact position you want.

@SecularJeffrey iOS has a “swipe” style keyboard built in. You can slide to numbers for quick use, or switch to the numeric keyboard. I can help more if you provide an actual example of what you’re trying to do.

@tdwllms1 @GottaLaff NFL: I don't see why he can't be jailed overnights then allowed to shower and dress for trial at Rikers. Lots of prisoners do that. Doesn't need to interrupt the trial.

15/ Pagliery:

What was different this time was that Justice Merchan finally addressed the elephant in the room.

No, not Trump.

I'm talking about the potential for destabilizing the nation & directing the fury of MAGA on NYC.

Merchan understands the stakes. And they are unbelievably high.

@wdlindsy I’ve found opinions tend to differ when broken down by both race and grade.

@AmishSuperModel @GreenFire Anyways, Jefferson was the one to establish the principle of the wall of separation between church & state — the guideline officially confirmed by a number of Presidents after him.
Presidents, who were able to understand, what Jefferson meant to say - without needing tremendously beautiful drawings.😎

"...
1. Thomas Jefferson (1802): “I contemplate with sovereign reverence [quotes the First Amendment establishment and free exercise clauses] thus building a wall of separation between church and state.”
2. James Madison (1819): “Both society and religion benefit from the total separation of the church from the state.”
3. Ulysses S. Grant (1876): “Keep the church and state forever separate.”
4. John F. Kennedy (1960): “I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute.”
5. Richard Nixon (1960): “The separation of church and state is not subject to discussion or alteration.”
6. Jimmy Carter (1977): “I believe in the separation of church and state.”
7. Ronald Reagan (1984): “We establish no religion in this country, church and state are, and must remain separate.”
