Summary
Donald Trump hinted at legal action against E. Jean Carroll, who previously won defamation suits against him, by reposting a Truth Social image suggesting women face jail for false accusations.
Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, indicated potential further legal action against Trump.
Trump has also threatened rivals like Liz Cheney, Joe Biden, and even poll workers.

And the fed is supposed to obey without thinking…?
In his world? Yes. Unfortunately there hasn’t been a whole lot of significant precedent for pushback against the man child in chief during his earlier tenure, so i wouldnt hold my breath.
And they have used 4 years to make plans to get «sympathetic» people into as many positions as possible.
And even after four years of thinking, they have trouble putting together the fucking cabinet :D
Thank you for brightening my day 😄
Well, tbf not like the Dems did anything to plug the holes in the system while they had the deciding vote the first 2 years.
Sigh. It’s gonna get worse the next 4, right?
The Dems are part of the problem, even if they are immensely better than what’s incoming.
Yes, it will.

Eventually. Like after the riot?
The CIA/NSA let a Putin puppet become President, twice.
Downvotes here are hilarious. What are you downvoting? The fact Trump is a Putin puppet or the fact that the CIA/NSA let him become President twice? Pray tell.
What was the CIA supposed to do?
Well, for one, there was surely at least one grassy knoll near many of his rallies.
Ok I was trying not to go there, but alright so… then who and/or what criteria does the CIA use to determine who to wack? Do the corporations tell the CIA who to wack? Are we to assume there is some benevolent good intentioned body within the CIA watching over us with fairness and good intentions in their hearts?
I think that was my original line of thought, that this isn’t really their job. This is why we are supposed to have courts. But those are broken too.
I mean, if you want a serious answer: if the President is overtly and actively damaging US national security, that’s a situation I would have thought that some shady stuff might be done against the president, up to and including helping the line of succession… succeed, as it were. But that clearly isn’t happening.
Not to mention, the CIA is foreign espionage and assassination. Not domestic. NSA is a global intelligence gathering. And even less assassination oriented.
The people that likely killed MLK would be the proper group. But they practically line up to wash the orange turds taint with their tongues.
That didn’t bother the CIA when it was about domestically poisoning poor black people.
Were one of the agencies responsible for killing undesirable presidents they would set up Trump to die of something that looked natural
Lemmy downvotes ad nauseum.
Isn’t this exactly why the demons that wrote up Project 2025 have lots and lots of purges planned?
They also planned for violence during implementation.
Yes.
As the head of the executive branch, the President is ultimately in charge of them. Now, the President is supposed to avoid conflicts of interest and allow the DOJ to operate independently to carry out their duties and not to interfere with investigations. Historically that has of course been spotty to say the least.
And Trump definitely doesn’t give a single fuck about conflicts. If the department heads won’t do it he’ll just fire them and get someone in the office who will. The normal check on this system is Congress, and they won’t do anything to defy Trump, at least not enough of them to actually stop anything.
How is it that we are supposed to remain within the “ToS” when we have this shit going on?
If he gets to do whatever he wants, I should too.
Do you have insane amounts of capital? No? Then get in line
/s but only sorta
I mean, if we all did it at the same time…
If only somebody could organize people like me with a limited future due to medical reasons. Thing is, though, most of us are pretty tired.
That’s the essential appeal of agent orange - his deplorables think he’ll enable them to just do whatever the fuck they want.
Well, that mindset is spreading for other reasons.
That’s the danger of the insurrectionists. The party of “law and order” seems to find themselves above it most of the time…
Hard to be above anything when you’re 6 under. 🤞
I don’t know that I like the option of the next several alternatives should Trump become unfit for office
Do them too

I’m sure this will provide economic relief to all those feeling that “economic anxiety”.
How are those egg prices coming along?
I’m not an economics major, but I think it is a market fundamental that every time donvict bleats out something about “nasty women” that have wronged him that the consumer prices for everything drop some percentage points, including eggs.
It’s just science.
Hints? That orange shitbucket has been pretty clear that he has every intention of weaponizing the justice system against everyone who opposed him.
He has said it outright.
Trump is a diaper wearing bitch. Fuck that russian tool
again and again we can see so much previous rhetoric from the “conservatives” is just projection.
Man gets beat in a court room, gets group of men to go beat her. Nice. Presidential material.
Would it be cowardly or prudent for Carroll to just leave the US?
I would probably just leave.
If you can’t try a sitting president then you sure as shit can’t defend a law suit from one. She will end up getting fallen out of a window.
Yeah he’s definitely a sicco
And as I understand it, the feds have no obligation to follow through if it’s a bogus accusation.
He doesn’t get to just make people just do shit.
