Republicans have zero respect for law and order, judges, juries, bailiffs, etc. This is their leader. The leader of the 'law and order' conservatives. A guy whose defenses strategy is to threaten judges, juries, etc. Shameful. Just a mob boss, doing what mob bosses do.
(Reuters) - The judge overseeing Donald Trump's criminal hush money trial fined the former U.S. president $9,000 on Tuesday for statements that he found violated a gag order in the case.
The fine is too low. Trump is happy to pay thousands of dollars to continue breaching the order.
it's just a first step, a shot across the bow. Judge will toss spanky in jail if he needs to.
of course, that's what trump wants, so he can fund raise off it.
and 'law and order conservatives' will continue to twist themselves into knots to defend Trump's criminal behavior.
President Biden unveiled his election-year budget pitch Monday, calling for $5.5 trillion in tax increases by raising rates on the wealthy and corporations — while spending $7.3 trillion proposals.…
David Rothkopf @djrothkopf Interestingly in America today shooting your dog is more damaging to one's political career than rape, fraud, leading an attempted coup, stealing nuclear secrets, pathological lying and playing a role in the excess deaths of hundreds of thousands during a pandemic.
It's a criminal trial. How many criminal defendants have you seen give daily press briefings?
How many administrations have prosecuted their political opponents in election years?
moran.
the 'administration' is not prosecuting Trump. Multiple states and the DOJ are.
And yeah, agreed that it's awful that the Republicans selected a criminal as their leader. I wish they hadn't done that, but now justice will have its way. Bad choice, 'conservatives.' Maybe don't nominate a criminal to be your nominee for president next time?
Trump did not start any new wars. Clinton did. Bush did. Obama did. Biden did. Trump didn't.
Yes American troops are everywhere and what did Trump say? He said bring them home if there's no good reason for them to be there. He said countries like Germany should be helping pay the bill for the troops that babysit them that we've been paying for for decades.
He said the US was $30+ trillion in debt and we couldn't afford to be the world's policemen for free anymore.
The deepstate/swamp/uniparty/forever war garbage infesting the government were so horrified at the thought of the gravy train getting turned off they rebelled. These unelected goons even lie to the commander in chief so they can maintain their own troop levels in wars no one voted for.
War mongering cowards like John Bolton resign when Trump refuses to follow their idiotic advice and the media runs stories about how difficult Trump is to work with. The same media that called John Bolton a neocon war criminal during the Iraq war years suddenly adores him because he's joined them on the TDS train.
1. John Bolton is a warmongering idiot
2. He was still right that trump has zero clue about geopolitics and is unable to think strategically about our military positioning. Trump was pounding the table wanting to completely pull us out of south Korea. Abolsutely fkn nuts.
