Fox News Edited Clip Of WH Press Secretary’s Remarks To Stoke Fauxtrage | Crooks and Liars
By Conover Kennard — April 2, 2024
Fox News talking heads lost their shit over Transgender Day of Visibility landing on Easter Sunday, which has been a thing for 15 years now, long before President Joe Biden took office.
Biden is doing such a great job that Fox News has to make things up. The network edited White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s answer to a question about the fake outrage over Trans Day, as you can see above in the side-by-side video by Kat Abu.

[T]his pattern of attacking family members of presiding jurists and attorneys assigned to his cases serves no legitimate purpose.
It serves a totally illegitimate purpose, to rile up some MAGAts to take care of the problem for him.
Trump Beats Deadline With $175M Bond
I was really hoping that at the last second Trump would have gotten a call and told him “April fools”
The 2024 wannabe spoiler Robert F. Kennedy Jr. declared on CNN last night that Joe Biden is a greater threat to democracy than Donald Trump.
A BOLD attempt to totally ruin the Kennedy legacy.
I believe we’ll have to wait until after the election to see what 175M buys.

“While a gag order was a necessary step to protect the sanctity of the upcoming trial, it’s not going to be enough by itself to head off the political violence Trump has unleashed and keeps holding over the head of the Republic like a sword of Damocles.”
DIM…

Each of the judges in all the cases, should bring Trump into their court-rooms.
They should read the death-threats out loud, into the court record.
Then they should mention the exact date and time these threats began.
Then they should show Trump’s comments just before that.
Then they should force Trump to acknowledge that he has heard everything said in court that day.
His affirmative response should then be entered into the court record, too.
Then, should anything happen to ANYONE he’s threatened or doxxed, HE should be arrested for inciting the violence.

That would assume that RFK Jr knows what he’s doing.

Gag orders, which have degenerated into mere rhetorical admonitions from the bench, are not going to deter Trump in the least. Only confinement in conditions of being incommunicado as far as any public statements are concerned, will suffice.

Good news, although I don’t know what to make of this:
On Thursday, the latest University of Michigan survey showed consumers expect inflation to fall to 2.9% in the next year, down from expectations of 3% seen during February.
Consumers are differentiating between a 2.9 and 3.0 forecast for the year? I suspect there’s something behind the scenes for these numbers, so any explanation from financial wizards here would be appreciated.

Correct. The only deterrent is confinement.

If I were the judge, I’d dare him to say it to my face in open court and when he balked, like all bullies do when their bluff is called, I’d keep pushing and telling him to do it and that by not doing it, he’s admitting he knows it was wrong and that it’s meant to cause violence and demand that he admit THAT too. I would want him so utterly infuriated and blinded by ego-wound rage that when he left that courtroom after me reading him the riot act and ordering his fucking mouth shut, he’d find himself completely incapable of controlling himself and would violate the gag order by the end of the day so I could put him behind bars and write him a 6 figure fine.
Then again, this is probably why I’m not a judge…
