Donald Trump is begging to be put in jail for contempt of court. Whether this is eleventydimensional political chess, or non-existent impulse control after a lifetime of constant indulgence of his oppositional defiance disorder is probably a dumb question.

HIGHLY CONFLICTED, TO PUT IT MILDLY, JUDGE JUAN MERCHAN, HAS TAKEN AWAY MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH. EVERYBODY IS ALLOWED TO TALK AND LIE ABOUT ME, BUT I AM NOT ALLOWED TO DEFEND MYSELF. THIS IS A KANGAROO COURT, AND THE JUDGE SHOULD RECUSE HIMSELF!
Trump’s main defense lawyer, Todd Blanche, has apparently never been first chair in a criminal trial defense, like, ever. This morning he told Judge Merchan that his client shouldn’t be cited for contempt because his posts were just responses to “political attacks” on social media, so, um, First Amendment and stuff.
Judge: What attacks specifically?
Lawyer: Uhhhh . . . you know, some attacks.
I’m paraphrasing, but just barely.
