SHOTS FIRED.

Trump violates the gag order, directly daring Judge Merchan to jail him.

Pretty sure Judge Merchan will be very happy to do that.

Pretty sure being jailed on the basis of a gag order would not bar him from office.

And all he's doing in doing so is turning on all the lights in the kitchen so everyone sees the roaches....

Trump just 'double-dog-dared' him.

Handcuffs in 5,....4,....3,....2,....

And if I was the cop they ordered to go arrest him my response would be, "Oh hell no, you do it!"

Need to break down and get a tee shirt that reads "I identify as a banana republican".

 

[Publius]

Lots of talk of this judge and his family taking million$ in bribes, so how is it the rest of the legal system is not going full speed into investigating the judge?

 

[von Koehler]

If jailed, will a despondent and depressed Trump commit "suicide?"

 

[Reasonable Rascal]

So, does his Secret Service detail get to carry their Uzis and such in the exercise yard while with him?

While we are at it, does Jimmy Carter still have a detail with him in hospice? Inquiring minds and all that.

@Reasonable Rascal Let me know if you do - I'll buy one (or maybe 3 or 4). I just don't have the time for follow thru right now!

Just found out, Trump hasn't violated his gag order.

The Gag and the Goad: Trump Should Appeal Latest Gag Order

Brian Cates..... I have not heard that name in a long time. Forgot all about him. He seems to want Trump in jail. Cates is off the reservation I guess.

What I expect from this crooked judge is another million dollar fine. Probably not jail time.

Because a lot of them do it. They don't want to be the first that gets thrown under the bus as a distraction.

If they jail Trump I will buy stock in everything Trump owns because it will skyrocket. Jailing jump will assure his victory in November. Even if you don't like Trump, you know this ain't right and it's gotta stop - else you and I are next.

JUST IN: Trump is expected to rake in $50 million at tonight’s fundraiser, doubling the amount Biden raised during his fundraiser with Obama, Clinton and Lizzo.

[Uhhmmm...]

As noted earlier, Trump is still permitted to criticize the Judge - and that is all Trump is doing in the OP. Trump did not violate the gag order.

This entire thread is a waste of space.

It’s concerning that many Americans place their trust in these shadowy online sources without thinking critically about who is behind them or how they may want to harm the country, said Kara Alaimo, a communications professor at Farleigh Dickinson University who has written about toxicity on social media.

“We know that foreign governments including China and Russia are actively creating social media accounts designed to sow domestic discord because they think weakening our social fabric gives their countries a competitive advantage."

Do you think that judge is stupid enough to jail Trump. Maybe a $85 million fine but not jail

Please note that Trump has not violated the gag order. So, there is no reason to jail OR fine Trump.

This thread is still confusing people, but perhaps that is the thread's purpose.

I have no clue. Bring me up to speed, okay…?

 

[packyderms_wife]

Are the dems not smart enough to realize that jailing him only increases his street cred with minorities?

 

[KFhunter]

I have no clue. Bring me up to speed, okay…?

If Trump is arrested and jailed, I don’t expect him to ever re-emerge.

As for the quote I may have quoted the wrong post but the point was about the possibility of Trump being jailed, and him essentially daring the judge to do so on truth social.

 

[Dobbin]

Riiiiight... It did serve a purpose....

Psychology...

The law of "intended consequences," harnessed and ridden by Trump.

Of course, the Judge (i.e the Democrats) may not have the sense to see this out to its electoral result.

AND, the beneficiary will be Trump in EITHER CASE.

This a case of knowing when to mount and take the reins.

Unless they jail and kill his ass…

One might hope that even the dumbest and most retarded of the Liberals no better than to try an assassination on trump. That would be the fuse that ignites an actual civil war. There would be no way to deny their involvement. Even if it was some radical Iranian terrorist. Because you know deep down somewhere there be Democrat money involved in getting that terrorist over here.

The thread's OP and headline boldly stated that Trump had violated a gag order and may be fined or jailed. However, as BE correctly noted in a post above, Trump has not violated the gag order. So, there is no reason to jail OR fine Trump.

This thread is still confusing people. It has become something of an embarrassment. I vote to lock it and move it off the main page - far away from discerning lurkers.
