To be fair, I don't think the gag order included attacking the judge

If Trump went after my daughter and I were the judge on his case, he'd immediately go to jail and be fined to the maximum extent.

There's literally a law for this and he's one of it's proponents, dude cried for years when people even mentioned barons martian looking ass. For real dude looks like a grey in a skin suit and that's coming from a fellow tall lanky white dude.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago

Agreed. I admit I may be looking for a reason to justifiably put him on ice for a bit, but I'm astounded at the restraint of a judge when a figure with a history of weaponizing hillbillies targets someone uninvolved in the current case. Even mafia didn't target the innocent relatives of doomed wiseguys.

I'd be ok if he went to jail

[–] [email protected] 28 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Why is this "innocent" man constantly attacking the children of the court staff? Why the children??? Hes pretty consistent about it too which is also strange and extremely dangerous.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Because children can't defend themselves or fight back legally, whereas the judge can. Trump knows the judge has to maintain his veneer of impartiality so he doesn't open Trump to an easy appeal, so he'll threaten and attack the people around him instead. It's the old mob trick of "well gee, if Bobby ain't getting off, well..."

Isn't he fantasies about dating his own daughter or something like that?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I tried to read this, but it looks like it's paywalled.

Never. Going. To. Happen

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (4 children)

You miss spelled "Execute".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

I've been saying it's time to lynch this traitor for years.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Fuck everybody downvoting you. Eat the rich

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

He's broke though?

[–] [email protected] -3 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I feel I should caution you about something that can be misread as a plan to incite homicide or harm against a current or former president of a war-like nation. The American FBI has taken people from other countries, for a long time, and for less justification. Especially people living within 100mi of their northern or southern border are at added risk of a misunderstood heckling jab being interpreted as any kind of threat.

#freeSpeech and all, but we also don't draw cartoons of a certain deity for fear of a fiery doom.

Good? Carry on.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

I mean it's probably hyperbole. They just said that and that in isolation can be taken as a joke.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Soooo remain intimidated and subservient?

Won't someone rid me of this meddlesome ex-president?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 5 months ago (3 children)

His mom should have swallowed instead.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Someone came in her rubber boot and let the flies do the rest.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 5 months ago

His mom was trans.

Given the history of the Trumps, I really don't think Fred gave her much choice in the matter.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago (1 children)

He’s proof of why abortion should be free and available to all.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

And sameday.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago (2 children)

You know I’ve decided to like trump. I think I’d like him on the wall best.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

You! Foot warrior. Have these two revoked.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Better reinforce it first.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Oh it’s okay, I’d just like to hang the top. The rest can probably go in the bin.
