He is relentless in attacking. His latest outburst toward General Miley, which prompted Gosar to double down with more threatening rhetoric is sickening!

It really is. Now. Do we ban him from speaking thus?

When the precious right of free speech includes death threats and calls for violence those spewing such venom need to be held accountable! Otherwise free speech is really not free!

A former president is still a citizen of the US and beholden to our laws and at one time our moral standards - where did they go? Oh we know the answer to that. But back to #45 being a citizen and not above the law - gag order is in order - soonest!!

I’m response to your last sentence, YES!

Monkey see, monkey do.

Campaigning is essentially Trump’s job at the moment. If any of us ignored a judge’s order like he is doing we would be held in contempt and not be able to do our jobs. The magnitude may be different but otherwise it seems the same. Maybe I’m getting numb but I worry less and less about the MAGAS going crazy if the judge drops the hammer.

I actually worry very little about that, too. Let 'em. That is no reason to tread carefully when someone ignores the law.

Tell but not get, I’m afraid.

The carceral system may be required. And should be invoked if the order is made.

At the moment I am in the heart of Trump country, ie metro-Atlanta for my (ex) brother-in-law's funeral. All but four (my sister, deceased's brother and nephew who live in Cali and me) of the eight of us staying in one house are Trumpers (15-year old grandniece is a Trumper on steroids) with a sprinkling of Sandy Hook Truthers. Everyone "behaved", and other than the sharing of a few memes while we were playing on our phones, politics were tabled. Once we get out to the main road, there's a business (construction equipment - large lot) flying EIGHT Trump 2024 flags. My sister is horrified as she didn't raise her daughters to be this way (that's another whole story LOL). But I digress... while gag orders are not necessarily the best, if this man child cannot keep his pie hole shut after repeatedly being told to keep it shut, it's game over. He is making a mockery of the courts. As someone in the legal field, I take to heart what a judge says. That being said *looks at clock* in 7 hours I will be on a plane heading back to civilization. P.S. This weekend I learned that there is a beautiful national military cemetery in Canton, GA. It so reminded us of Arlington National Cemetery which made things even more poignant as the deceased was in the Presidential Army Honor Guard, and among other things, participated in JFK's funeral and LBJ's inauguration.

This defendant has exhibited enough disturbing actions that more than one judge is seriously considering stopping his actions. These actions a danger to the country or to the judicial process. No other defendant would be given this much latitude.
