Welp, it was bound to happen. Will a limited gag order work? Post your thoughts below.
(I’m going to say no. I’m going to bet that TFG cannot possibly keep his fly hole shut. Violating such an order could mean serious punishment, but I’m not sure TFG thinks those rules apply to him.)
That’s a rhetorical question, right? 🙂 I think the more pertinent question is whether any judge will hold TFG to account when he breaks the gag order (which he’s already done elsewhere).
The judge isn’t intimidated by DT. If anyone is going to hold DT to the gag order it is this judge. My money is on him— he’s not going to take any BS from DT.
I'm hope I am right. It is a narrow gag order, but still this judge seems serious. Poor DT he seems grumpy and put out to be in court. AG James is tough too -- did you read her comments after court today. She won't be bullied.
Why would anybody think rules apply when the law doesn’t? The cult leader and his followers won’t be happy until we commoners are feeding on stale bread and rancid vodka like Putin’s peasants in mother Russia!
I really want to believe that someone somewhere can convince TFG that he's only damaging himself when he does this. I know he doesn't care about democracy or decency, but maybe someone can convince him that being this walking id doesn't play well in court any more.
Actually, I seriously hope that he does blab soon and gets punished immediately. He needs to pay the consequences for his behavior. This seems like a good place to start.
My friend's co-workers and she are having a pool on how long it'll be before he violates the gag order. 🤣
Unfortunately, I do not believe that TFG is teachable. I believe the best that we can hope for is that he is mental disorder, and or illness is officially diagnosed and he will have the ongoing inpatient care he needs, and deserves. Other than his cholesterol taking over his blood vessels I believe psychiatric inpatient care would be the best solution for our country and TFG.
I certainly hope not! I believe just because you need treatment for a mental disorder doesn't equate to incompetence. Persons, con artists, with mentally uncontrollable greed and need to satisfy that greed without remorse for those injured do indeed know what they are doing.
Listening to him crying about not having a jury trial was beautiful , especially knowing that it was because his incompetent attorney didn’t check the box for a jury trial
And the video of him crying about it while she try’s to get in the frame when he’s speaking actually made me laugh
I keep thinking that President Trump really thought that his myrmidons and flying monkeys would bring down the government on January 6-and-following, and hand it to him.
I tend to read his actions ever since as effort at a redo on that, and am glad to feel pretty sure that his moment for taking over by coup, such as it was, is over. (I still think we need to act to prevent coups. I'm not saying that he's harmless. I just think him unlikely to succeed.)
And in that light, I tend to suspect that he's hoping that his being imprisoned or whatever will activate Yet More myrmidons and flying monkeys. So I don't think he'll shut up.
It depends on what you mean by “work”. If he ignores it, acts out and suffers the consequences; works for me. If he takes it seriously and behaves; works for him.

That will be incredibly interesting. The legal gauntlet has dropped.
The judge isn’t intimidated by DT. If anyone is going to hold DT to the gag order it is this judge. My money is on him— he’s not going to take any BS from DT.
I think you’re right. This game plan has worked before but most likely not now.
I'm hope I am right. It is a narrow gag order, but still this judge seems serious. Poor DT he seems grumpy and put out to be in court. AG James is tough too -- did you read her comments after court today. She won't be bullied.
I hope you are right!

I wonder what the shortest time is in that pool.

Oh, but then he'd have another out, wouldn't he? Not guilty of his crimes because of mental incompetence?

The saying “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” seems apt for this guy!
I predict the same. He doesn't know how to restraint himself.
restrain (not restraint)

I saw that. And I giggled.
Nothing will gag that guy, unless it’s a mouthful of fines he need to pay!

agreed.

ha. I knew that was what and who you meant.
