Donald Trump has been in a New York court today to defend himself against charges of longtime financial fraud, but during a recess in the proceedings, he targeted the judge hearing his case with a livid, deluded eight-minute rant.
… He ruled we lost a big part of the case because he’s a Democrat club politician. He’s a Democrat operative. And he’s a disgrace to people that call themself judges. And I hope my lawyers go in, and I hope they fight him very hard. ‘Cause this guy’s getting away with murder. And his clerk should not be allowed to be in his ear on every single question. You take a look at what’s happening with her. She hates Trump more than he does. […]
This is a judge that should be disbarred. This is a judge that should be out of office. This is a judge that some people say could be charged criminally for what he's doing. He’s interfering with an election, and it's a disgrace.
Referring to Judge Arthur Engoron, who will decide the financial penalties that Trump might owe, Trump repeatedly referred to him as a “rogue judge,” an “operative,” and a “disgrace.”
At other points in the rant, he snarled that the attorney general overseeing the case, New York’s Letitia James, is “a corrupt person, a terrible person driving people out of New York,” and said that “people” saw this “egregious trial, this horrible, horrible trial going off, while at the same time people are being murdered outside on the streets and nothing happens to those people that do the murdering.”
As usual, Trump’s speech was laced with apparent threats aimed at his judge.
And somebody has to fight because if you don't fight, our country is just gonna go down the tubes. This is election interference. This guy's a highly partisan person, and we can't let this stuff happen.
Members of Trump’s base have regularly taken this “fight” language as permission to mount harassment campaigns and death threats against Trump’s enemies of the moment, whether they be public figures or private citizens.
“I’ve been going through a witch hunt for years, so this is really now getting dirty between Jack Smith and between all of these DOJ people helping them along. This is a pure witch hunt for purposes of interfering with the elections of the United States of America,” Trump falsely claimed before storming off. "It’s totally illegal. This judge should be disbarred. He shouldn’t be allowed to be a judge.”
If I pulled this shit on a judge, my bond would be revoked immediately and the bailiff ordered to remand me to custody in a concrete and steel box to await the trial’s completion.
Fuck me, I had a judge threaten to revoke bond because I had the temerity to inquire about a public defender. Last month a judge sentenced (deferred) my ex to 10-days for fucking me on spring break visitation. And she had the fucking sense to STFU for the whole trial! Trump acts like these judges are his personal peons talking back at him.
And yes, I get it. The justice system has to be more than fair in these cases. You have to admit, it’s a wild historical precedent and we must step carefully when throwing a President of the US in jail (yes, I believe he still gets that title). And I’m OK with that! But we can’t get a solid gag order on this animal?!
(Not sure he’s out of bail for this one. FFS, I literally can’t keep up with the charges, courts, etc.)
Congratulations on the sex

Goodbye, sexless guys.
Ugh. Not with a 10-foot frog. Not on a dare. Not even for green eggs and ham.
Okay, but just hear me out… I’m just throwing this out there…
Would you could you in a boat?
Would you could you down her throat?
It’s disturbing that every single line could be talking about having sex instead of eating green eggs and ham. With a mouse? With a fox? With a goat?

He literally doesn’t have the self control to comply with a gag order and also he can fundraise off it saying his freedom of speech is being violated
How? Trump doesn’t listen to reason and he has been getting away his whole life with stuff less rich and powerful people would have been thrown into jail a long time ago. That’s the only thing he has ever learned. And as long as he keeps getting away with it he will keep doing so.
If we want him to keep his mouth shut and stop interfering into the justice process, he would need to be locked up with no access to any internet.
the more likely reason they threatened to revoke bond is your insufferable attempts at shoving the thesaurus into every sentence.
Which word was too big for you? That was written to a 6th grade reading level and it struck you as pretentious? (sorry, big word again.)
explain in a more global context
6th grade in the US is for kids that are generally 11-12 years old.
Why? It is clear but the story he’s talking about the US legal system.
Critical reading, and vocab issues. Damn dude you r bad at bookz
Ironyception. Can we go deeper?
I wanted to make sure he understood that line.

Looks like a pretty common term in many countries to me.
not mine.
It shows.
Understandable. But a simple search gives a pretty straightforward answer here. I would understand the need for clarification if it were a complicated concept, but this is isn’t that.
so now i have to waste my time searching for further clarification because an american thinks they’re the center of the world? cool.
He says, in a post about American politics.
How do you know it’s a common term in a country that hasn’t been mentioned in this thread until you brought it up?
I’m sorry - did you assume that poster’s country?

Okay I’ll bite, which words in his reply do you think needed a thesaurus?
Needed a what? You mean a wordy-likey-bookie-wookie, college boy??
Uh, that seemed like a pretty normal vocabulary, and wasn’t overly flowery.
Maybe you need to brush up.
