The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's criminal trial in New York held him in contempt of court on Tuesday for violating a gag order that limits what he can say about those involved in the case, and warned him that he could be jailed if he violates the order again.
Judge Juan Merchan said Trump violated the order nine times in recent weeks in posts on Trump's Truth Social platform and campaign website, many of which targeted Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels, key witnesses in the case. Merchan fined Trump $9,000, or $1,000 for each violation, and ordered him to delete the posts.
The judge announced the ruling from the bench and issued an accompanying written order. He wrote that Trump "violated the Order by making social media posts about known witnesses pertaining to their participation in this criminal proceeding and by making public statements about jurors in this criminal proceeding."
Merchan wrote that New York law doesn't allow him to impose a fine higher than $1,000 per violation, which "unfortunately will not achieve the desired result in those instances where the [defendant] can easily afford such a fine." He said a higher fine might be appropriate in those cases, but since he does not have that discretion, the court "must therefore consider whether in some instances, jail may be a necessary punishment."

All this dog story means is those so inclined will need to find some other way to disparage Donald Trump.
It's simply low-grade 'kibble' to put in front of the Never Trumpers.

Playboy model Karen McDougal told her lawyer about 'sexual' affair with married Trump
By Ben Kochman
Karen McDougal, the Playboy model who says she had a year-long affair with a married Donald Trump, told her lawyer about the "sexual" and "romantic" relationship, the attorney testified Tuesday.
"Ms. McDougal alleged that she had had a romantic affair with Donald Trump some years prior," lawyer Keith Davidson said, while describing a series of texts he traded with National Enquirer editor Dylan Howard in the summer of 2016.
“When you say romantic, does that mean sexual?” prosecutor Joshua Steinglass then asked Davidson.
“That’s what she expressed,” Davidson testified.

« Last post by unite for individuality on Today at 04:52:09 pm »I've always thought that the .223/5.56 NATO is too small to be sufficiently effective.
The old .308/7.62, and the older .30-06 are a good size for hunting bear,
but are too large (too much recoil) for tactical use.
They're now introducing the .277 Fury, which is a little larger than halfway between the two.
I was thinking that a .270 would be about right, but the military wants longer range.
The .277 Fury has a chamber pressure of 80,000 psi!
I suspect that those rounds will be reserved for the military,
and that a lower pressure version will be sold to the public.
(That, and the full pressure round is likely to cost about $2.00 each!)

It costs around $90,000 a year to attend Columbia University.
Most undergraduates do four years of studying there, which means that if they’re not getting any subsidized grants, their parents are coughing up a total of $360,000 just for their tuition, housing, food and books.
Add in other expenses like travel, and Mommy and Daddy won’t be getting much change out of $400,000.
That’s a lot of money.
But those parents would doubtless consider it a price worth paying to give their child what is supposedly one of the best educations in the world at such a supposedly elite institution with a supposedly world-class reputation.
I use the “supposedly” because Columbia has now proved itself to be none of those things.
Instead, it’s become a disgraceful hotbed of toxic terrorism-supporting insanity and its lunatic students have literally taken over the asylum.
