I’ll state this right up front—I have a problem with the entire concept of “gagging” persons who are being prosecuted. Especially because it seems now to be standard procedure for federal prosecutors in any case that generates broad publicity to leak grand jury information. When was the last time you heard of the government side of a prosecution being disciplined for such behavior? Let me rephrase that: Who investigates leaks?
I have a feeling that Trump will ignore any gag order. He knows they are going full out to get him, so he might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb. At this point anyway, it's actually good that things are getting worse because it pushes us faster towards the breakdown and catharsis our society needs.
We have truly turned into a travesty that makes third world countries look like bastions of freedom and judicial probity.
The judges are blatantly corrupt, the DOJ is blatantly corrupt, the msm is blatantly corrupt and almost all politicians are blatantly corrupt. The feckless Republicans in Congress sit idly by while the country slides into one giant shit storm and the best they can offer is to tell Joe Biden to kiss their ass because one his minions wants to limit everyone to 2-3 beers a week! We’re looking at pathetic in the rear view mirror!
I’m so furious at this continuing dumpster fire that can clearly destroy the republic!!
And I certainly have an entirely new appreciation for the phrase, “ these are times that try men’s souls.”
I’ve always had an uncertain sense of foreboding about 2023 and the further we move into the year, the more oppressive that feeling becomes.
2024 might make 2023 look like The Summer of Love. The neocons, globalists and uniparty are clearly pulling out all the stops and are increasingly desperate. The worst their actions are, the greater the reaction will be.
Trying to gag and railroad the former president and current leading candidate. In front of the whole world. Because they think they can get away with it.
And precisely who’s going to stop them? The Republicans? Not holding my breath. Roberts? If you believe that, can I show you a nice bridge that I own in Brooklyn? DOJ? Stop, let me catch my breath from laughing so hard. The country is poised to go down the toilet and no one but us peons seem to give a crap. I’m so disheartened right now that I don’t know what to do, other than watch helplessly as this slow motion train wreck continues unabated.
There's always hope, SMH. Look at Russia in the 1990s. Who would have thought that it would bounce back like it has done? The Russians are tough folks - but so are many Americans. The DC system is irremediable; it has to disentigrate. But something better will rise from the ashes, probably at the regional or state level. There's no doubt it will be messy and probably violent, but who wants an easy life anyway?
It is so blatant I just do not understand how there's fence sitters today, all on the R side should be grabbing for all they're worth to expose all this yet ........if they think with Trump gone the Left will settle down, no such luck, it's just a part of the plan. Big as rain they'll muzzle Trump while Jack's handmaidens in the Press will leak leak leak and the Judge will go Doo, Tadoo Tadoodedodedooo, we're on the verge of having no Republic at all, poor Ben will be disappointed that we could not keep it let alone teach about it.
A gag order wd just make him more of a sympathetic hero to even more people. He's already said he's not afraid to go to jail - which wd also draw more sympathy & new fans, just as the GA arraignment & mug shot. I'd hate the time, energy & resources that wd be eaten up by appeals to a pro gag order ruling, but it's time for the hypocracy of prosecutors leaking vs the persecuted speaking out against political persecution to be addressed. Rushing to get to chores - plz 4give lousy sentence construction.

This is where we stand up and fight back, this is what "They" want, for you to give up and curl up in a ball! Do not let them Win!

That is an option but if the US breaks down like that it's ripe for the picking and that will be even less pretty.
I can’t imagine Jack Smith coming up with this on his own. This is multi-faceted involvement across DOJ.
Examples included were more insurrections and violence… purely speculative.
I was amazed at that part. Totally without shame.
Exactly why he is where he is, his track record is as Fixer.

I too am puzzled about the complete lack of interest that most normies show. On a good day, I put it down to shock and disbelief.
Well, I'm an American and I choose Bourbon.
The French dynast or Kentucky? ;o)
I should have bought more popcorn…
Interesting precedents, the problem is how long the appeals will take:

There's a lot of truth in what you say, Pete P. Trump thrives on publicity, good or bad. They turned him into a symbol and a martyr.
