Former President Donald Trump can continue showing up for his criminal trial in Manhattan — or, potentially, go straight to jail.
That was Judge Juan Merchan’s warning to the Republican candidate on Monday, NBC News reported, as jury selection continues in a case where prosecutors allege Trump conspired to falsify business records, covering up a $130,000 payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels on the eve of the 2016 election.

Er — well, I suppose we’ll see what happens, whether we like it or not. I have no faith that justice will ever catch up to this maniac. I can only hope his (surely brief) treatment by the American criminal justice system will grind his already failing brain into paste — because just watching it is not doing my failing brain any good, lemme tell ya. I’d love nothing more than to see this jumped-up con man consigned to a life of pruno and ramen upstate, but I feel like we’ll see the Sun die of old age before the courts can get that far.
