po1135809 led a coup attempt to overturn an election. Asking for a friend. Any repercussions so far?
For those wondering there are a lot of things one can do that aren’t protected like…
Sex assault
Murder
Stealing
Based on the live tweets, the hearing is not going well. It’s pure proof that Trump is being treated differently from any other citizen facing criminal trial, even as the judge wants it to be otherwise.
She simply can’t react to his overbearing attorney, or his threatening tweets, in the same way she would in any other case. In all other cases, the word and power of a federal judge holds real weight.
But here, Lauro and Trump will use every word to play the victim for their hoard of poor, put-upon qult followers. And they’ll likely coax one or two whackjobs to ruin their own life and innocent people with their inferred encouragement to violence.
Until he starts seeing repercussions for saying exactly what he pleases this is meaningless.
Things that should be unnecessary to say for $500, please Alex.
Trump treats the constitution like that Ron Swanson note that says “I can do what I want.”
At this point Trump shouldn’t have any rights other than the right to waste oxygen and consume H2O.
The less we hear from his bloated blowhole the better off the world is.
Trump has acted like being President is the same as being an Emperor since before running in his 2016 campaign.
If he hasn’t learned by now, he isn’t going to.
Consequences for his actions are required.
Yeah being arrested and detained before trial is one of the few examples of rights being suspended for those being criminally indicted. That is of course if there is no 2 separate justice systems.
He’ll stop doing it when you start punishing him for it.
Obviously he does, how many worthless gag is that now?
Apparently he does.
>Chutkan specifically pointed to a Truth Social post in which the former president referred to Smith as a “thug,” asking Lauro: “In what kind of case do you think it would be appropriate for a criminal defendant to call the prosecutor a thug and stay on the streets?”
>
>“‘Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest’ comes to mind,” Chutkan said.
This needed to be said. If ‘something unfortunate happened’ to any of those ‘meddlesome priests’, you know Trump would be smiling in to his bag of hamberders.
Not true at all… I call bullshit on this!!!!
This guy has said shit NOBODY else of his ilk and stature has ever even thought aloud, yet nothing, nothing has happened to him. No judge has put his orange ass in a cell, taken away his goddamned phone and made him sit there to contemplate the harm and discord he’s caused. None of us plebs could ever get away with 1/10 of the bullshit this clown has.
So prove it. Let’s see some consequences. Hell, even a *single* consequence for anything that he’s done.
but he does since he has never been held accountable for anything he has ever done. He should have been thrown in jail a long time ago. It is actually quite impressive how someone so stupid who does blatantly illegal things and brags about it has gotten away with it all.
Trump: I took that personally
Until someone puts him in a jail cell for his crimes, that’s exactly what he apparently “has the right to do.”
Cause no one is willing to draw a line and hold it.
>Trump’s attorneys have attacked the proposed order as fundamentally antithetical to his First Amendment rights and suggested the order is simply a way for President Joe Biden and the Justice Department to hurt Trump’s ability to campaign.
Nice admission by the defence that part of his campaign is threatening people. Not like we didn’t now this already, but still.
>Chutkan noted that any violation of her orders could result in sanctions.
Perfect example of a 2-teir justice system: Try violating a judge’s order, as a regular citizen.
You’ll be spending the next few nights in jail serving out your “sanctions.”
There is already clear jurisprudence on unprotected speech. We shouldn’t let the subject of that sentence desensitize us to the problematic nature of the government using that phrasing.
Since he doesn’t believe that his oath to the Constitution applies to him. Why should any other part of the Constitution apply?

He’ll violate the gag order by the end of. . .this sentence.
