Lock. Him. Up.
The sweet revenge for when they were chanting "lock her up" about Hillary who WAS NOT INDICTED ON THREE SEPARATE CASES like this clown.
Well this violates 18 U.S. Code § 115.
Like, that's textbook. Also if this threat is taken seriously by other members in the trial, this could easily extend into witness tampering, jury intimidation.
Add it to the pile of charges!
Wouldn't that be amazing if voided his bond and he was thrown in jail till the trial?
That’s what would happen to pretty much anyone else. But we all know the rules never apply like they should to him.
I have a feeling he's about to fuck around and find out.
Here’s hoping.
I mean.. the guy is already crying that he is a martyr and his supporters consider him like one. Might aswel commit, right?
that well is gettin pretty dry
He is always Testing how far he can go and so far has never gotten shown consequences. He will never learn if he is not feeling any pushback.
right he's going to try to flaunt absolutely every rule he can.. if he can think of a way to thumb his nose at a law or rule, he's already started the tweet before the thought is finished..
I hope SO MUCH that Trump's trial has an equivalent to Alex Jones' "your lawyer sent me a copy of your entire cell phone" moment, where we get to see him shit his pants in real time.
He wears diapers
Agreed, but it is the truth that he does... And he does so because of his long sustained stimulant use.
Disagree. This "man" seeks to rule over us he doesn't get common decency of any kind.
That goes for every single politician, CEO, manager, boss, cop, etc. You want the job then get fucking roasted. Your job as this so called authority figure is to take it on the chin and be better than us to a point we don't feel the need to roast you over petty shit.
The problem with this world is we don't bully authority enough.
We won't get to see it. No cameras in federal courtrooms.
Then I look forward to the artist renditions. It'll have to do.
To clarify, this isn’t actually specifically about today’s threat - the lawyers have been jockeying for a few days about the conditions under which the government will produce discovery, and this order is mostly an attempt to speed up that process rather than let Trump’s people dither and delay. The business today just adds a bit of extra urgency to getting the trial done quickly.
Yay, you're standing up to him!
FYI: He's still able to run for president... from prison!
Scary part: thanks to "Electoral College" system, he's currently tied with Biden if the election occurred today.
Instead of trading cigarettes and toilet wine for other goods/services, he can offer pardons to his fellow inmates.
And then extend their sentence once elected. Fool-proof!
That survey that said they are tied was based on flawed data. It was not a random sample.
I hope that jack Smith had this as part of his strategic plan and knew this was coming. I really want to believe that he actually does have 9 dimensional chess abilities like the media has been reporting, but the media...
Revenge? Mfer this is the REVENGE!
This guy. I swear that after he's passed on, and they're lowering him into the ground, he'll somehow, some way, still be commiting felonies from inside the casket.
Fingers crossed.
appearing to, or actually doing it? cuz they're two wildly separate things
The news will always say “alleged” or “appearing” in order to avoid potential libel lawsuits.
Will allegedly always say…
This came from crew on the apprentice, plenty of stories from different people, but sure maybe that was an old phase in his life, or they were lying... But I have to say that the bad debates with him really struck me as that guy is on drugs, and that was before I heard about his Sudafed abuse
