The judge overseeing the criminal trial of Donald J. Trump said he would be willing to jail the former president if he continued to violate his gag order. A banker who set up the account used to make a hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels is back on the stand.
If you don’t want to let the system handle it, what actions are you personally taking to bring about the change you want to see?
Because the options are to try to handle this relatively peacefully through the system, or to bypass the system with violent action. The other side has been champing at the bit for decades for an excuse to turn to mass violence, so you might have some catching up to do in terms of organizing support and stockpiling supplies for the coming conflict you seem to want. If that’s the case, probably best to get yourself off Lemmy, don’t want to leave a paper trail, then go out and start hoarding guns and ammo, maybe dig a bunker somewhere.
… skipped a few steps there.
It is well within the judges right to incarcerate Trump for contempt. Now, does he refrain because he is waiting until it doesn’t risk a higher court ruling the Judge went beyond his authority and throwing out the case or is he preventing Trump from, “being perceived as a matyr”? I would guess the former. As we’ve just seen with Weinstein, judges can be held accountable if the defendant has the means to endlessly pursue litigation.
Now for Trump being seen as a martyr. Who gives a fuck. They already worship the ground he walks on (unless its the Hollywood star) and there is no point trying to appeal to his rabid base. Other than, maybe, avoiding death threats.
