well, that was fast: "JUST IN: Judge Chutkan enters a limited gag order against Donald Trump noting that the 1st Amendment can yield to the administration of justice and to protect witnesses. Trump cannot post or re-post attacks against Special Counsel Jack Smith and his staff, court staff, or court personnel." https://twitter.com/KatiePhang/status/1713954339184611352

Nah, he has overused his 1A rights already. What is this namby-pamby "limited" gag order shit? He needs to have his mouth sewn shut with 100-pound fishing line, and then thrown in a lead hole so none of his "Truths" can get out.

Nah, I want to see him physically ABLE to defy the gag order, then get in trouble. And they had better enforce it.

I totally agree. He has gotten waaaay more kid glove treatment than anyone else ever has in these trials. I guess if he ever were actually thrown into the slammer, he would become a martyr to his obnoxious deplorables. I say, so what! Heaven will be not hearing that whiny,cry-baby snit tantrum voice of his for like, forever.

"Can Donald Trump be gagged?"

This question has been driving me crazy. Of course, he can--if he breaks the law OF COURSE HE CAN.

He can be gagged like anyone else who breaks similar laws. I give two fucks that he is running for President. No one is saying he cannot campaign. No one is saying he cannot even defend himself.

They are saying he cannot intimidate witnesses, tamper with the jury, or threaten people.

Big fat duh!

Our legal system cannot function if someone could do this type of thing with impunity, and I seriously tire of people treating the man with kid gloves because he is a litigious bully.

Yah know, I used to babysit for this couple from New York, the kind of folks I am more than sure voted for Trump even the second time around. They didn't mind bloviating right wing radio talking points around me, wondering aloud why crybaby Blacks and minorities simply didn't pull themselves up by the bootstraps like they did (White couple who grew up upper middle class).

They were just telling it like it is--kinda like Trump!

One day while I was helping out with the babies (needed the cash), we were watching a news story about a cross burning on the lawn of a Black couple, and one of them replied, "That is horrible..."

On this we could agree --"I know right..." I replied.

"I mean," they continued, "why can't you people know here you don't belong?"

My mouth dropped.

"What happened to equal opportunity and freedom," I asked, only to be shouted down.

Needless to say they had to find a new babysitter (although I did feel bad--their kids were cute and awesome.)

I write this to illustrate a point. Those folks, freedom lovers by gum, who think everyone has the same opportunities, also think there is a place, I shouldn't go. Where I don't belong. They would also likely believe that the law applies to everyone--except Donald Trump.

Talk about cognitive dissonance.

Only you can't have it both ways. Either everyone has freedom or everyone don't--be honest enough o say that. Either the law applies to everyone equally or it doesn't. Be honest enough to say so.

Such people speak out the sides of their necks, and I am sick of them!

Humph. That is interesting. I do know that science has found that people prone to bigotry have lower IQs. Not to say intelligent people are not bigots, but I read somewhere that Hitler himself was not a very smart man. The smart folks I have met who are racist are either ignorant of the culture they attack or use it as a way to advance in certain circles knowing it is wrong.

This dipshit fuckface had gotten away with his bull 💩again!

Next, Justice C has given this dipshit fuckface another ‘limited gag order’!

What is it going to take to get justice? What is it different about this dipshit that he gets all these rights no one else gets?

Last I looked, he put his pants on just like anyone rise, man or woman, unless he’s Superman, and can jump into them from tall buildings! What the fuck am I talking about, he might be!
