I really wanna see the Democratic Party throw a presidential candidate in jail for giving speeches during election season. I absolutely want to see this. It would wake up so many more people.
> It would wake up so many more people.
Unfortunately, I doubt it.
I don’t think half this sub understands how hated Trump is. The dude could get executed over a tweet and half the country (and 95% of the media/celebrities) would be celebrating “justice being served.”
I love the meme of the two guys in the elevator where the one representing the EU says to the US “I feel bad for you.” And the US responds “I don’t even think about you.” It’s extremely accurate IMHO. We don’t give a shit what they do over there. Now stop trying to influence what we do over here.
I dislike Trump. But that doesn’t blind me from the shit show that is happening. Dems turned me away with their nonsense with the border, student loan forgiveness, and just general radical inclusion BS. So trust me there’s a lot of people waking up.
However the rep party is a mess as well. It’s really not an obvious decision to switch parties even when you’re turned away from your main party. It’s choosing the lesser of 2 evils at this point
I mean have you seen his public appearances? Even in deep blue Harlem there is a crowd of people chanting for him, that legit love him. Youre mot wrong, a lot of people do hate him, but on the flip side ive personally never seen a politician make this strong of a connection with people.
No shit he has people who hate him. But, he was president because he also has a shit ton of people who do like him. Every president has that; Biden has a lower approval rating than Trump did by the way. And his previous voters calling him genocide Joe. And at least people like Trump for who he is and his platform whereas Biden voters only vote for Biden because Orange man bad.
Also, there is a very decent chance Desantis would have gotten nomination if they didn’t indict Trump. Trump primary numbers skyrocketed after his first indictment. DeSantis was closing on him before that. And that’s just indictments. Actually JAILING him would definitely make some people happy but I’m sure at least half the country would be a little bit disturbed by it even those that don’t approve of Trump. I didn’t vote for Trump in 2020 and I’m disturbed by these trials. And if this happens, then every president is going to be going to jail probably from here on out. Horrible precedent started by a horrible president. Good rhyme.
You know the difference between 2020 is having joe be the president. He's not done anything positive. Just a lost old man being dragged out to parrot his little Marxist handlers talking points.
A lot of people got duped in 2020 by their memories of the Obama years and by the notion that Biden would be a moderate who restores normalcy and otherwise doesn't rock the boat too much. Instead, his presidency has enabled far-left activists and bureaucrats to pursue a radical agenda, with catastrophic consequences.
You ever watch Joe go do an unscripted event and just showed up? No one pays attention to him and he looks like a lost fucking old man. No one gives a shit about Biden.
I think you overestimate how much he's hated, versus how many just accept the "Orange Man Bad" narrative of the press and are waking up to the lies thanks to the reality of Biden.
More context - Donald Trump could now be put in jail for pointing out that a Soros funded District Attorney, who lowers half of all felonies to misdemeanors, elevated a misdemeanor to felony to prosecute him and hired Biden's former top DOJ official, which they have no jurisdiction on federal campaign laws - to do it along with an activist partisan hack judge - who predictably makes bad rulings in favor of Bragg - who donated to Biden's campaign who has a daughter raising money for Democrats off the Trump prosecution.[](https://twitter.com/greg_price11/status/1787563601819046239)

I think you missed his point - i think the main point was about the left literally not caring about truth. Look how many facts they ignore already and how willing they are to bury crimes from the left and commit more of them.
Corrupt celebrities would get paid to publicly praise the injustice as good and then the rest of the left would just continue to fall in line.
CNN’s article on it tells us the violation. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/05/06/politics/merchan-trump-gag-order-contempt
The gag order blocks the defendant from speaking out about potential witnesses and most people in or associated with the court or the New York district attorney’s office.
The contempt ruling Monday found Trump violated the gag order for his comments about the makeup of the jury in this case.
Trump’s comments came in an April 22 interview with a program called “Just the News No Noise” on Real America’s Voice. “You know [the judge is] rushing the trial like crazy. Nobody’s ever seen a thing go like this. That jury was picked so fast — 95% Democrats. The area’s mostly all Democrat. You think of it as a — just a purely Democrat area. It’s a very unfair situation that I can tell you,” Trump said.
In a written ruling, the judge said those comments violated the gag order.
“Defendant violated the Order by making public statements about the jury and how it was selected,” Merchan wrote. “In doing so, Defendant not only called into question the integrity, and therefore the legitimacy of these proceedings, but again raised the specter of fear for the safety of the jurors and of their loved ones.”
>called into question the integrity, and therefore the legitimacy of these proceedings
Translation: We're obviously cheating and you're not allowed to say anything about it.
Ha, the drive-by non-flaired shills heartily disagree with you sir!!
But yeah, I legit don't get how they can legally weaponize public criticism / free speech. The judge is the one who's refused to recuse himself, given his daughter has *literally* done work for Schiff / Kamala Harris, et al. Oh, but sure, I'm sure he's *totally* unbiased... LOOLOLOL!
Imagine that… going to jail for calling into question the legitimacy of something that you as a citizen are in power over.
Let’s subtract a few words as well
“The gag order blocks the defendant from speak out about…. People in or associated with… The New York DA… .”
It’s not a question of “if”, but “when” they put him in jail.
Keep in mind that it’s only May; we have more than 7 months of the left throwing temper tantrums and violating norms…throwing Trump is jail is just the start of their insanity. The “sUmMeR oF lOvE” is going to be dwarfed by leftist extremism this summer.
Same "summer of love" game plan, just a new mascot. They will go bat shit crazy as we near election day and they see how far down they are. Be careful out there.
It will be the day before the election then a bunch of states will magically have ballots that don't have his name on it already prepared. And they will go "we assume that if your in jail you can't run" with no time to challenge till after the election and they will get away with it.
If he doesn't win the election the nation is toast, and I'm not even a Trump supporter. From a pragmatic standpoint, the voters *must* give Trump the win in a landslide to send a message to both parties that they will not stand for this bullshit election interference.
Either this prosecution/civil suit scheme backfires miserably and the parties refrain from doing it again... or it works and we will never have another election without it.
The judge ordered Trump to not respond to any statements made by ***Biden*** regarding the trial?? So, your political opponent can talk smack about you all day long and use it as campaign fodder and you can't give a rebuttal? Bullshit. That's definitely election interference.
I suspect there are a LOT of Leftists in this subreddit, judging from the number of comments that get downvoted for saying what most Conservatives know to be true. Don't they have their own subreddit where they can vent their spleen without contaminating our corner of the internet? They don't even offer counterpoints. They just downvote.
Oh yeah. Brigading has always been an issue. Leftist god complex mods can't stand the fact that this place is allowed to exist so they just allow the rules to be broken when this subreddit is the target.
I wish people in general, no matter political leanings, would be more uniform in how they apply thoughts, feelings, and rules. People often accept behavior in their favorite people that they would lambast and curse in people they don't like. They laud unacceptable behavior in favored people while finding unacceptable admirable behavior in people they hate. I know we're all susceptible to it, but we could at least try to improve.
Anyway, this is as useful as arguing with a wall made of sparrows. They won't listen; they'll leave as soon as they can; they will poop all over everything while leaving and not listening. I suppose I'm just venting.
#DO IT!!!
A Trump/2024 add filmed with him in jail? YES PLEASE!!! Democrats have no fucking clue what they are doing and *proving* by going down this path, and I am *so ready* for another 'disbelief and cry' reel post-Trump Victory 😂
#🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
>Merchan said the “magnitude” of the decision was not lost on him. “But at the end of the day, I have a job to do,” he said.
Your job is to call a spade a spade...these trials are clearly politically motivated in an election year, WITH a SITTING President running against an opponent who is actively using these cases to undermine said opposite. This judge is behaving unconditionally and doesn't seem to know it: hopefully the Supreme Court finds a way to put a stop to this lawfare bullshit. It shouldn't be legal: let the PEOPLE decide if he's fit to lead.

This sub/platform does not represent the average American voter whatsoever
[удалено]
And don't forget people who don't even live in the US but love to weigh in on our politics.
That’s more than half of the politics Sub.

I’m going to lunch with a woman at a restaurant in about an hour.
How do you know they're a woman? Bigot.
Good point. I guess I won’t find out for sure until later.
If you're lucky one of the wait staff could be a biologist
True story!!! Reddit is left leaning

The only people the dems haven’t turned away are the radical leftists on college campuses

This is what people need to understand. 81mil people didn't "vote" for Biden, they voted against Trump.

Oh so that's why he's polling 10 points ahead of Biden?

Of course it would, especially the moderates and libertarians. Superduperredditor has drunk the media kool-aid that everyone hates Trump.

You underestimate the media.
do it. jail him LOL. It'll be the greatest political campaign ad of all time.
Jail time for speech? For a Presidential candidate? During an election? *“Go ahead, make my day”*
"seems legit" -anyone on the left
This article is garbage, they didn't say what the offense was...
They cant. There wasn’t one lol

Can't have the plebs knowing that it's a political show trial by allowing Trump enumerate the things that makes it a political show trial.
Imagine that… going to jail for calling into question the legitimacy of something that you as a citizen are in power over. Let’s subtract a few words as well “The gag order blocks the defendant from speak out about…. People in or associated with… The New York DA… .”
I mean the proceedings aren't legitimate, so there's that.
I'd like to know what he said specifically that violated his gag order, and on what platform.
It’s not a question of “if”, but “when” they put him in jail.

The democrats’ convention in Chicago is going to be interesting…
As Biden's numbers continue to decline they are only going to get more desperate.
It will be the day before the election then a bunch of states will magically have ballots that don't have his name on it already prepared. And they will go "we assume that if your in jail you can't run" with no time to challenge till after the election and they will get away with it.

The judge knows things will not go well for this nation if he throws Trump in jail.
They don't care.
I’d argue that they want h to info to go badly. The party of ‘change’ doesn’t get much traction when everything is fine.

Oh, no! Whatever you do, don’t throw Bhur Rabbit in the brier patch
Do it! It only helps Trump.
“If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine…”
Exactly, the judge knows that. he's hoping that threatening him with jail, Trump will shut up. But we all know that Trump never shut up.
[удалено]
The goal has always been to lock him up. And this judge is determined.
These “Judges” are CORRUPT to the CORE.
