I think you misspelled infuriating.
Different rules for the rich and powerful.
What baffles me is his supporters all rage against stuff like this but don’t recognise their orange idol sits at the top of the pile.
They're not against it in principle. They want to be the one doing it. It's others winning they object to.
They're not against it in principle
Exactly, they have no principles just wins and losses against the other side where everything is a zero sum game
How about we stop acting like this is a goddamn game and take this seriously?
Throw him in jail until the trial starts.
Wouldn’t that be considered witness tampering or something like that?
Add it to the list. Neither he nor his voters care about that stuff
When he said he could shoot a man in cold blood in the middle of times Square, he wasn't kidding. He's literally raped children for God's sake.
As often as he projects... i'm kind of wondering if he's had people murdered... like the time he accused Joe Scarborough of murdering his intern... i remember thinking holy shit... start searching trump properties for buried bodies.... i mean shit he buried his ex wife on a golf course.
I mean he wouldnt do it himself. He'd hire a hitman. Which then he'd short the hitman on paying him. Its the trump way to never pay the ending fees on a contract. I dont think he himself has had a direct hand with murder. But I 100% believe he's a child rapist. He talked fondly of jeffrey epstein, and went to his parties, and commented himself on the young girls at the parties.
Just ask "Katie Johnson" the pseudonym of the little girl who was raped by trump and epstein when she was just 13 years old.
He’s a convicted rapist. No conjecture or hyperbole. A convicted rapist.
The word convicted is in fact hyperbole here because it's a criminal law terminology and this context it is used in is from a civil litigation. The civil judgment of his guilt in this case is different from the criminal convictions that he faces in his newer indictments from federal and state prosecutors
Does the justice?
No, worse its witness intimidation. Essentially tampering "you should x" intimidation "I'll do x" one effects current witnesses while the other implies they'll go after current and potential witnesses.
That only counts when you don't have money.
I thought this was directed at the judge?
Edit: Given the context it seems aimed at the witnesses.
Possibly, but it depends on how the judge interprets it.
How is this statement open to any other interpretation than as a direct threat.
idk, i'm not a lawyer
The prosecutors said Trump’s post raised concerns that he might improperly share evidence in the case on his social media account and they urged that he be ordered to keep any evidence prosecutors turn over to his defense team from public view.
He probably gives a flying fuck about this. He is already in deep shit creek, and any chance to rally his fans is more important than just another half inch of extra mud he is sticking in. Because if those morons vote him back into the white house, the first thing will be to pardon himself from all the crimes he did, and retaliate against the juridical system with prejudice.
He is already in deep shit creek
It's either:
He is in deep shit
or:
He is up shit creek (without a paddle)

Trump is incapable of not saying or doing stupid shit.
Feral genius presents as saying stupid shit.
The guy is a monster but somehow slips the snare over and over again.
I would love to lose the bet, but my money is on time, nullification, or pardon ensuring that he isn’t particularly inconvenienced by the four indictments.
Trump wrote in all caps Friday afternoon
What a dumbass. Can't really read his tweets without hearing him losing it or having a stroke.
on Truth Social, which is run by a media company he co-owns.
Does it still work? What a surprise. Unpleasant one.
I wouldn't mind him having a stroke.
Not like they have to do much, it's just mastodon with federation turned off
Throwing an ex president in jail would bring a myriad of problems, but at some point America should bite the bullet, own its mistake, and fucking do it.
But not throwing him in jail sends a pretty terrible message to his contemporaries, causing more problems.
Or when you see idiots post things like this. If you want to complain that's fine but at least look at the facts what you're comparing. Apparently Trump supporters are incapable of that. Yes Hilary questioned the election results and even Democrats objected to the electoral count of the certification of some of the rust belt states Trump won. But they didn't try to get Joe Biden to send the results back to Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Obama wasn't calling up state officials to overturn the results. Democrats didn't get an angry mob to storm the capitol.
Also, while I don't doubt that there were more than enough people voting for Trump anyway, considering the fact that he has attempted to fiddle with the results before, what is the guarantee that he hasn't before that?
I'm not saying Hillary was right (it doesn't matter in hindsight anyway), but at least now I understand her doubts a bit more.
For his first dumb tweet he'll get the protective order. If he does it again I could see a judge definitely thinking of putting him behind bars. Whether it happens or not depends on whether he wants to double down. I'm hoping he does.
He's so Mob.
He got so fucked over by Roger stone who is so Mob.
America's dead.
The mob never went away they just became politicians and learned how to hide in plain site. Like every other us "achievement" JFK breaking down the mob was all for image to push more false security to a country of blissfully ignorant consumers.
Puts on a bigger tinfoil hat...
Now the Kennedy's are under mob control and next in line as the mobs puppet is Robert.
They gotta work carefully to make it look like these poor mailable maga types are making a movement and take any criminal blame, while they (the mafia) move deeper into the government.
What’s he going to do to a federal judge’, groip in the street outside the judge’s house? That’s against the law.
