And the consequences when he breaks this order less than 24 hours from now?
Fucking right?! Can we just lock him up just this once? I'm sick of him dominanting the discourse. I just want universal healthcare/ basic income.
You just want things that our current overlords will never give us. Don’t worry, I’m on your side. We’ll get there, eventually.
Vote.
Better happen sooner then later. America is just asking for a John Q moment.
Can you indulge a non American idiot. What's a John q moment. All I'm finding when searching is a denzel Washington movie with the synopsis not giving quite enough context to fit
It's essentially what took place in that movie. Health care wouldn't cover a life saving procedure for Denzel Washington's character's child. So he held up the hospital until his child got care. I honestly forgot how it ended. But if I had to guess he gets shot and his kid gets to live.
Edit:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Q.#:~:text=John%20is%20ultimately%20acquitted%20of,of%20kidnapping%20and%20false%20imprisonment.
I honestly think there's going to be a mass shooting at an insurance or pharmaceutical company. Someone's eventually going to go after a CEO out of spite
They may provide us with tasty cutlets though.
For some reason no media seem to have linked to a copy of the gag order, but prior reporting suggests that the judge's threat if Trump violates the order is to do one thing he really doesn't want the court to do, which is move up the trial date.
Which is a quite reasonable move.
"Dude continues with his threats? Alright, let's get this over with. And add his threats to the pile of evidence."
The theory is hey, if he's going to keep trying to tamper with witnesses and jurors, were going to expedite the trial to minimize his opportunity.
Probably along with fines.
Probably another huge influx of campaign cash.
Sneak peak from the future.

Unless you can show me a stealthy mountain
Gregor Clegane definitely isn't.
Mt Rainier
Stealthiest mountain I ever seen
"oooh are ya gonna see me today? Maybe, maybe not"
Edit: misspelled
Rainier? 😅🤦🏼♂️
The irony is thick in this one.
Oops
My family is from Seattle, they would be ashamed
It is so stealthy, people don't even know the name correctly.
Looking at you, Mr James Bond...
Lets hope for the best. Don't they have these solitary confinement cells that are painted in pink floor to ceiling?
Probably a big fine.
Gosh
I'm going to go with a double-serious rebuke.
No, this is a jury trial for the crimes of Jan 6.
The bench trial is the one for civil fraud in NY, in which Judge Arthur Engoron issued a more limited gag order.
My fault, deleted my earlier comment.
Supposedly having the trial sooner.
"That were three more violations in yesterdays speech, so we will move the trial back another three weeks. See you in court next Tuesday, Mr. Trump."
They'll issue another gag order...
Same thought here.
This ultimately means nothing if he doesn’t face any consequences for breaking the court order.
It's been widely reported that she will move up the trial date which is the last thing he wants since his strategy is to delay until after the election at which time, if he wins, none of this will matter. The theory is that doing so gives him less time to intimidate witnesses and officers of the courts.
I'm not a lawyer, but that should be felony contempt for violating a direct court order.
I think for people with a reputation for not paying bills, this kind of thing should be held as a deposit.
Just so they can't delay paying it for years.
It's just gone the moment the judge decides it, and he has to appeal it back
I mean, it's an awful precent for everyone else, but for him and Rudy and Alex Jones there's really no other way to get the cash out of them.
