How long do you think it will take before Trump violates the order?

    Thank you for this explanation. I think it is important context to the discussion that needs to be spread far and wide so everyone better understands the legal calculus rather than getting mad because they think the judicial system is taking it easy on him.

      The judicial system is taking it easy on him because he’s rich* and powerful and will throw a tantrum whatever happens.

      Here’s a Tennessee judge who has prohibited these people from discussing their case at all or sharing the footage they obtained legally on cases that have been dismissed.

      Thousands of gag orders are issued from the bench that nobody hears about because there aren’t news reporters covering every courtroom in the country. Trump is getting special treatement because our justice system is inherently unjust.

      I know the judicial system is taking it easy on him.

      AG Garland can go on TV 1000 more times and tell me he treats all cases equally, it’s still a lie.

        There is still internal politics in apolitical institutions. You are shitting on Merrick Garland for taking the measured approach, but to do anything else would simply add further fuel to the fire of the vindictive psycopathy of the christo-fascist cult. The right way to exhume Donald Trump from politics is through the slow, methodical, dispassionate legal process of boiling him alive on full public display until he finally breaks.

        This was only ever going to work via imploying the “death by a thousand cuts” war-gaming that we are seeing. If you thought it was ever going to work via shock and awe or judicial blitzkrieg then you are beyond naive. If you are results oriented rather than emotionally motivated then I would think you could see that rather than yelling about some perceived lack of balls & strikes justice that does not exist in the real world.

          Garland deliberately obstructed any investigation into Trump (or speaking his name out loud in front of him) over J6 until the Hutchinson testimony humiliated both the FBI and him.

          As much as people would like to pretend he didn’t, Garland sandbagged like hell to protect Trump. Reporting is that it was because he didn’t want to seem political.

          And it’s really past time to encourage appeasement of MAGA rage. They will be angry regardless. There is no “right way” to behave that they will accept.
