Locked Him Up
While I am sure it is a thing that happens, I hope you'll excuse me if I don't hold my breath waiting for Mr. 10 Strikes to get his turn.
Trump wants to be locked up. He has the tweets ready to go. Unfair, biased against him, did nothing wrong, silenced, caged, election interference, crying like a toddler as though everything isn't entirely his own fault, as though he hasn't been given, and taken, every advantage and benefit. He wants his legions of acolytes to take to the streets, demanding his freedom. He wants to raise funds with it. He wants the publicity to attract pro-bono lawyers to replace the ones who have quit for various reasons. He wants to sue and use pending litigation to further stall all court cases against him.
And the Judge knows this.
Fuck what he wants. I want to see that orange turd.suffer consequences for his actions. Let the crazies be crazy...like they're NOT going to to those things anyway?
Regardless of all that, it still would be a victory for the integrity of the legal system and the people to see Orange Man in an orange jumper on the front page news.
Of course letting him run free, facing no consequences at all for flagrantly breaking the law and ignoring court orders means that he and his rabid followers are harmless, right?
He might have contingency plans for when he goes to jail, but that doesn't mean he should remain free of consequences.
I like what I've seen others suggest. Community service. Send him to the must run down soup kitchen and make him clean the dishes.
It’s not ten strikes, it’s two. Although there were ten violations, there have been only two hearings. At the first, Trump was fined the state maximum and reminded that he could face jail time for further infractions. At the second hearing, Merchan fined Trump the state maximum, and after having expressed his disinterest in jailing a former President, he then stated that further violations would result in jail time. That’s the reason Trump has been so quiet this week.

Merchan is doing the right thing by following standard practice. He’s careful not to give the defense any justification to appeal his rulings based on bias. He wants his rulings to stick just as much as we all do.
