I don’t think his appeal will work. It won’t even be a speed bump.

A tweet, do they still call it that, will pop up on Pravda, truth or whatever, that violates the gag order and tRump will claim one of the minions wrote it.

What are the odds?

Chutkan rejected that argument by saying that Trump should receive “equal treatment” as other criminal defendants.

“Other defendants” would be sitting in a fucking jail cell for the same behavior.

How/where will Loser Donnie violate the gag order?

  • posts on a social media platform
  • during media interview
  • via lawyers filing legal proceedings or motions
  • via campaign staff and campaign events
  • live while in court
  • all the above

Threat by proxy.
No one knows if something on the internet is real at first glance.

His shitspewing minions will churn out every threat he wants made public.

trump deserves to be in jail right now if not for his threats then for the felonies he has obviously committed and that he has freely admitted to on camera.

I read the order- it was well written and clear. It also included a smack down on DJT’s attorneys citing cases that did not support their arguments.

The defense’s position that no limits may be placed on Defendant’s speech because he is engaged in a political campaign is untenable, and the cases it cites do not so hold. The Circuit Courts in both United States v. Brown and United States v. Ford recognized that First Amendment rights must yield to the imperative of a fair trial. 218 F.3d 415, 424 (2000); 830 F.2d 596, 599 (1987).

Not a good way to conduct yourself Lauro and company.

He just got thrown to the mat. May he get such a beating that he just doesn’t care what happens in the showers afterward. Oh wait…

How will Trump be able to campaign if he can’t threaten retribution on ALL his enemies, not just MOST of them?

Cauliflower ear at a minimum. Very attractive in the steam room.

It’s frustrating and disheartening to see a so called “independent thinking Judge” put up with this shit from Trump. If you or I did a fraction of this crap we’d be sitting in jail waiting for an appearance. No matter how much love for Chutkan floats around she’s kissing Trump’s as just about as much as that quack Judge in Florida. No way to deny the exceptional and special treatment she’s giving this POS.

She has to give the order first before she can sanction/punish him. Of course any other court case has the assumption is do not talk about the case in social media or the main stream.

Has he violated her order already?

Guilty is as guilty does.

Is he going to go on about “Republicans eating their young” or is he still saying he beat Obama in 2016? Maybe he can talk about how water pressure of showers and toilets have suffered under the Biden regime*.

*this is all shit he’s spoken of during his campaign rallies/airing of grievances.
