Yeeeees!

How are you coming on?
a routine protective order, why wasn't it submitted when Slobby was arraigned just days ago? 
Together, all the context you need.
No bullshit deflection.
doesn't know to whom he is referring. 
but it's pretty nifty how it got revised in a heartbeat to include Trump's latest threat against the Court. The swiftness of the motions and orders is satisfying. Trump's attorneys must have a real headache, thinking up excuses for his vile anger.
I doubt that these Judges will be swayed by the phony excuse he now offers. At any rate, here is an admission that it was a threat. He's just trying to steer it into a dead end that he thinks will fly.
Trump makes it easy for Jack: Judge, this is what we need, and oh by the way, look at his contempt of Court! LOL, I keep wondering which DU member won the guesstimate for how long it would take Trump to run his mouth.
Judge has given herself until Tuesday to decide what to do. She might have to do this as a matter of course, but I'll bet that she is more interested to hear whatabout the threatening post than anything else. The Magistrate took extreme care to instruct Trump not to do this, and basically instructed him that if he did it, he would be subject to whatever punishment Chutkan thinks is appropriate, up to and including pretrial incarceration.
Of course that is what we want to see! Of course it is! Not ashamed to say it, and it seems fair and appropriate. This is contempt of Court. If he gets away with it, he'll do it again. How arrogant of him. She should order him into custody (have the SS surrender him by Wednesday) and then let the attorneys argue in open Court about why they think it is not contempt.
At the very least, she should put him in lockup for the length of the argument. Or, several hours. She could take it under advisement, have a long lunch, and let him go before 5 p.m. That would be enough of a warning. Bring him back in and tell him AGAIN not to threaten the Court, the Prosecutors, the Jury, the Witnesses, or anyone else that he wants to claim was the subject of his tirades.
Trump deserves to be in the cooler.

Walters’ new book tells the Jamaican story

Calling it a masterpiece and significant literary and historical body of work that all Jamaicans should be proud of, University of Toronto professor emeritus Dr. Keith Ellis hopes that Ottawa resident Ewart Walters’ new book, We Come from Jamaica: The National Movement 1937-1962, will be published in Spanish. The renowned scholar, translator and Latin American literature critic is confident the book will appeal to the public in Spanish-speaking countries, particularly Cuba and Venezuela who, he said, relish books and are voracious readers.
“This is the book of an outstanding essayist,” said Ellis who was the first Jamaican-born scholar to be awarded an honourary doctorate by the University of Havana and the first Black to be elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada which is the highest honour a scholar can receive in the arts, humanities and science. “There is the literary art that he’s aware of and that he has practiced to perfection in the book. It’s that literary art that draws readers to the content.
“We also find him zooming in an out and capturing the ubiquitous and constant movement, the vibrancy of the country and the people he portrays. He has found this fitting technique which is itself a symbol because of what comes through as his real motivation for writing this book and that is his enduring respect, his love and wanting the best for the Jamaican people.” The publication charts the course of the national movement, a period and group of people who were instrumental in propelling Jamaica out of slavery and ‘apprenticeship’ to nationhood and independence. The Toronto book launch took place last week.
“This was a period when people were really serious about taking on the task of doing for themselves what the colonial masters didn’t do, didn’t allow us to do or didn’t give us an opportunity to do,” said Ellis who graduated from Calabar High School and taught Spanish and History for three years before migrating to Canada and lecturing in Latin American Literature and Culture at the U of T for 37 years. “It was a very challenging era and it was good to see Jamaicans in one way or another taking up the challenge.”
Writing is an obsession for Walters. After spending a year with The Public Opinion that folded in 1962, the Jamaica Gleaner and the Jamaica Daily News with which he worked from its inception in 1973 to 1976 (the publication ceased in 1983), Walters started The Spectrum monthly newspaper in August 1984 after leaving the Jamaica Foreign Service, having served five years as counsellor in Ottawa and a year as consul in New York.
