Manhattan Judge tells Trump council "See you March 25th," after lawyer gets on his nerves!
This trial looks like it is gonna be a banger!
Been watching the live Fani Willis Nathan Wade Fulton County non-trial, which is as unnecessarily salacious and dumb as you think it is—see the Meidas Touch live feed below:

Because I was taking this all in for a potential write-up tomorrow, I had no plans to write anything today—that is, until I came across a snippet from the Manhattan trial, and it tickled me so bad I had to share.
A mighty fist bump to Judge Juan Merchan
Take Judge Juan Merchan, who is over the Stormy Daniels hush money case in Manhattan, New York. When Trump’s lawyer, Todd Blanche started grandstanding, Merchan shut that shit down real quick:
Per Rawstory reporting:
As reported by The Daily Beast's Jose Pagliery, Trump lawyer Todd Blanche tried to depict the entire trial against his client as a completely unfair procedure that should be thrown out.
"We strenuously object to what's happened in this courtroom," Blanche said toward the end of Thursday's hearing in Manhattan. "It shouldn't happen in this country."
This prompted Merchan to ask Blanche if he actually had any legal arguments to make as justification to delay the former president's criminal trial.
"That is my legal argument," Blanche replied.
"That isn't a legal argument!" Merchan shot back. "I'll see you March 25th."
March 25 is the date that Merchan set earlier on Thursday to start the trial against Trump involving claims that he falsified business records related to the Daniels hush-money payment as part of a scheme to defraud the American public ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
Love. It!
See, I think judges just are not having it with MAGA; they are fed up with the disrespect and are letting them know they ain’t taking their BS from the get-go.
Grab your popcorn and let the fireworks begin!

Gosh this outlier legal strategy of "insult the judges, scoff at the system, intentionally play games with judges, and continual witness harassment" isn't winning him any friends with black robes.
Then again he has a lot more experience with white robes.
Fucking around time is OVER!! The case that everyone thought was nothing is suddenly a big something.
