      Be careful with what you wish for. Hugo Chavez once said “I am more dangerous dead than alive,” and he was right.

      Edit: downvoted by first world peeps. Well, I really hope I’m wrong.

    this should be a clear violation of the gag order. but it wont be. theyll be some hand waving and he wont be held to account. and no, a monetary fine is not justice.

      The gag order was in reference to court staff only, wasn’t it? Didn’t the judge explicitly leave himself off it? I forget which judge this is, there are so many

        Trump isn’t a actually stupid. He’s just an asshole and normal people don’t get it.

        But if the judge left himself off, and if Trump can make him adjust the order to add himself, or otherwise indicate that he’s upset that he’s being targeted himself, Trump can and will then argue that the judge is making personal decisions and ask try to make drama about recusing. Which won’t go anywhere, but will ramp his followers up further.

        He knows exactly what he’s doing.

          No he is just him. There’s no act. There’s no strategy. There’s no subterfuge. What you see is what you get and Trump is a very stupid person.

            Lots of people are saying he’s the dumbest, maybe the dumbest that’s ever lived. Just the other day he was punching a baby, and the baby miraculously spoke its first words, calling him dumb. If Nobel had a prize for being dumb, he’d win every year. No one else can compare to his ultimate dumbness.

      If he’s not in America, he’s not much use to Russia. If he fled, the US would freeze his assets and seize his properties. All of his value would shrivel like his penis in a Siberian pool.

        It’s amazing how many times I’ve seen historians say that this is exactly how historic examples of fascism come about. First people laugh and think 'that would never happen. It’s too absurd. Then as day turns steadily into night you look around and realize it’s there and it’s too late.

        I have zero respect for anyone who continues to support the Republican Party, let alone Donald Trump. I can’t help but see the same gullible, immoral, selfish fools that supported the likes of Hitler in the early 30s.

          The 100th anniversary of the Beer Hall Putsch was last week. History doesn’t repeat, but it certainly rhymes.

            I missed this somehow a year ago. Now with Trump actually in power again it’s more accurate than it would have been if I had replied to this a year ago:

            History repeats itself, first as tragedy, then as farce

    The Judge after a Right Wing Terrorist puts a bullet in his head: “Let this $10000 fine be a warning to NOT let this happen again!”

    “I wasn’t calling for violence when one of my supporters did violence to these people. I said citizen arrest. They misinterpreted when they thought I wanted violence. The knock-on effect of chilling any future prosecutions also isn’t what I wanted.”

    I’m watching a coup so slo mo, it’s dragging out for almost four years, while Congress, the courts and doj do nothing.
