If there weren't different rules for Trump, he there would be no gag order and there would be no case.

Don't pretend you aren't happy about the different rules for Trump.

These people that are happy about it are fools. One day when the tides change as they always do, they'll be the victim of this politicized lawfare nonsense, and they won't like it.

We're getting into dicey third world banana republic nonsense and we just don't want to go down that route. This trial in NYC never should have even been brought forward, even the pinheads on CNN can't see how this case is winnable, was shocked when I saw that clip of them talking about how thin the prosecution's case is.

I believe the gag order does not restrict Mr. Trump from speaking about the Judge or DA.

Trump says bring it on.

“Frankly, our Constitution is much more important than jail," Trump told reporters. "It’s not even close. I’ll do that sacrifice any day."

I think Trump is daring the judge to send him to jail because he thinks that's gonna energize his base. I think the judge is refusing to do so because he thinks the same thing. There's not a snowball's chance in hell that you or I or any other 'commoner' would get ten contempt charges. Might get away with a fine for the first one, but the second time the baliff would be hauling us off to jail.


They could write a textbook on how to make a mockery of the judicial system based on what they've done with Trump.

#UngagTrump UPDATE: Timely e-filed our Reply papers. Timely filed hard copies at 9:50 AM. I was informed that the Clerk needs to review our papers and schedule Oral Argument. No Argument today. But hopefully soon.

Once again, Merchan is having the clerk stall the ungag petition...what's Merchan afraid of?

However. If one is pulled over by the police and believing you are being treated unfairly. Getting into with the cops and giving them an attitude only makes things worse.

I think Trump needs to shut up and respect authority just like you should do if you are pulled over by the police. Let your attorney handle things. Shut up and let them do their job. At this point I would be fine with Trump being locked up for not following the judges orders. Just like I am fine with people being locked up for not doing what the cops tell them to do.

There is a time and place to plead your side. In Trump's case that is not during an TV interview. In the case of a driver pulled over. Its not out in the streets but before the judge. Just like with Trump.

We need more law and order and less people who think they are above the law.

What do you think?
There is not always a time and place to plead your case, especially when there's a kangaroo court where the decision has been made ahead of time. Appeals are not automatically granted. An appellate court doesn't have to hear a case.
