¡Cállate

“If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon’s, but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition, and ignorance on the other.” - U.S. Grant, 1875 

This is the guy who would know. 

Meanwhile on Monday Judge Chutkin in DC told the former president to watch his mouth. ¡Cállate nino rico. 

She issued an order that he cannot disparage prosecutors, witnesses, or court personnel. The former president promptly called all the names on the Vietnam Memorial Wall in DC morons for being stupid enough to die for their country. He also said that in general jurors who got picked for cases were stupid for working for free. He then disparaged the Red Cross, Mother Teresa, Moses, and ER doctors and pre-school teachers before promising that the Yankees would have been in the post season if Biden hadn't stolen the election from him, and that the Giants would have beaten Buffalo on Sunday night if he was calling the plays. 

So just the same old same old. 

How would you like to be Judge Chutkin parsing the language of the defendant in the run up to the trial? Does calling the DOJ a bunch of chuckleheads violate the judge's order? Does mentioning all the cases DOJ prosecutors hid discovery in the past violate the judge's order? 

Does criticizing the Federal sophisticated means enhancement because it was enacted in a time when computers were rarities and supporting the judge who wrote that applying the enhancement these days is akin to fining someone for speeding and then increasing the fine for using a car to speed, violate the judge's order? OK, we reached on that one, but you get the point. 

And what if he calls the lead prosecutor (whom we have named our winning fantasy football team after) "not worth a warm bucket of spit" which is what Vice President John Nance Garner once called he vice presidency when asked. What should Judge Chutkin do if the defendant blatantly crosses the line? Revoke his bond? Would any Desantis drone have the cojones to do that?  (Lots of Spanish in today's post because, spending fall in New England, we miss it just un poco. 

These are the things we ponder between collecting our money when the Raiders sacked Cheater QB Matt Jones in the endzone for a safety on Sunday as time ran out, giving the Raiders- who were winning by 2- two more points, allowing them to cover the three-point spread and Rumpole to collect on a sizeable bet. Sometimes you get good wins and not just bad beats in gambling and life.
