    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

        Judge said they had thick enough skin to deal with whatever he said.

        I doubt the judge is OK with Trump openly calling for people to do harm to them.

    This dude gets more unhinged and desperate every passing day, but a huge chunk of Americans just can’t see it. It’s crazy.

    Remember, guys: defending free speech for Nazis is totally the best way to “preserve democracy”

    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!”

        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

    “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.
