Judge Threatens to Kick Trump Out of Courtroom
Federal Judge Kaplan is just about done with Trump’s disruptions.
In a fiery moment in New York federal court Wednesday, Federal Judge Lewis Kaplan threatened to kick Donald Trump out of the courtroom after he continued to cause a disruption during the proceedings:
Judge Kaplan: “Mr. Trump has the right to be present here, but that right can be forfeited and it can be forfeited if he is disruptive and if he disregards court orders. Mr. Trump, I hope I don’t have to consider excluding you from the trial. I understand you are very eager for me to do that, I know you would because you just can’t control yourself in this circumstance.”
Trump reportedly then threw his hands up in anger and said, “I would love it.”
Judge Kaplan replied, “I know you would. You just can’t control yourself in this circumstance, apparently.”

FL House Committee Passes Ban on Pride & BLM Flags in Classrooms
The War on Teachers continues in Florida
Rep. David Borrero filed HB-901, which would prohibit the display of any non-governmental flags or symbols from being displayed on government property, which includes “public schools, colleges and universities.” The bill specifically bans flags which “represent a political viewpoint, including politically partisan, racial, sexual orientation and gender …” The bill is clearly targeted at Pride and BLM flags that have become popular for many teachers to display in their classrooms along with other flags.
The bill passed through its first committee today with a party line 9-5 vote, with every Democrat on the committee voting against.
