Using His Appearance As Your Only Means of Assessment,
Does This Judge Look Like
A Good Guy Or a Bad Guy?
A judge delivered a withering put down to Donald Trump‘s lawyer’s claim that the former president was being unfairly targeted by New York Attorney General Tish James on Thursday, saying she had every right to go after him if ‘he’s just a bad guy.’
At the end of the hearing, New York Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Trump and two of his adult children to testify as part of a probe into the family’s business dealings.
Trump’s attorney Alina Habba argued that the former president was the victim of discrimination.
James has ‘such disdain for this person because he was president, because he is Donald Trump and he could probably win again in ’24,’ she said, according to Newsweek.
‘He has First Amendment rights. He’s allowed to be a Republican.’
Engoron responded: ‘There’s no viewpoint discrimination. I’m just saying there is none.’
Habba then contended that Trump was part of a ‘protected class.’
‘The traditional protected classes are race, religion, etcetera,’ Engoron responded.
‘Donald Trump doesn’t fit that kind of mold or model. He’s not being discriminated against based on race, is he? Or religion, is he? ‘He’s not a protected class.
‘If Ms. James has a thing against him, OK, that’s not in my understanding unlawful discrimination.
‘He’s just a bad guy she should go after as the chief law enforcement officer of the state.’

Thank you Judge Engoron for reminding me that I have to watch the season opener of "The Walking Dead" this evening. You could easily acquire a second job as an extra.
NYC needs a meteor.
Maybe ~ 17 meters by 6 meters, traveling at 115 meters a second. . .
