The former president got very mad about his inability attack witnesses and jurors before reportedly dozing off in court again
Donald Trump claimed on Friday that he has been stripped of his constitutional right to speak to the press … while ranting to a giant gaggle of reporters.
The former president took time before entering court in his criminal hush money trial to once again complain about a gag order barring him from attacking witnesses, prosecutors, court staff, and jurors involved in the case.
“The gag order has to come off. People are allowed to speak about me and I have a gag order,” Trump said. “They are taking away my constitutional rights to speak, and that includes speaking to you. I have a lot to say to you, and I am not allowed to say it — and I’m the only one. Everyone else can say whatever they want about me. They can say anything they want, they can continue to make up lies […] But I’m not allowed to speak. I want to speak to the press and everybody else about it. So why am I gagged?”
Corrected headline: Trump complains he cannot baselessly slander and instigate violence against innocent people connected to his court cases.
Meanwhile he is still allowed to do it against everybody else.You DO have the right to speak.
What you lack is the capacity. At least for productive thoughtful speech.
Conservative voices are being silenced
😂 Her character was an absolute spot on portrayal (I have a hard time calling it a parody)
I wasn’t expecting that from Lisa Kudrow but she’s really good 😂
Her scenes in Death to 2020 just couldn’t have hit the nail on the head any better. I kept getting riled up and had to remind myself it’s satire.
Awww, the broke bitch baby snowflake is crying that he has to follow the law… Fuck this asswipe, and any dirt bag that votes for him.
He has far more right to speak than any of us would in the same situations. That clown has violated every gag order he’s been given with zero repercussions.
That’s patently untrue. They threatened to give him a slap on the wrist. After he only broke the gag order three times!
/s
If only they would.
Rights are granted to you as long as you follow the law that grants you them. Once you break the law certain rights can and will be taken away from you because you are no longer following the contract that allows you to have them.
There are certain inalienable human rights that every person should have. Slandering people and rallying up your cultists to attack those people is NOT one of them.
The big news here is that we have finally found a line that Donald Trump will not cross. He continued to defame Carroll after massive judgements for defaming her, but that was just money after all. Being in contempt of this court might send him to Rikers, though, and no amount of money will fix that.
I’ve always said he wants to be thrown in jail, because he thinks it will play into his followers’ persecution complex and lead to lots more fundraising. But Rikers is notorious, I bet he would do anything to avoid going there.
The big problem for him if he goes to jail is that he isn’t literate enough to write the modern “Mein Kampf”
I mean Trump in gen pop in a prison is a gang war waiting to happen.
He wouldn’t be in the general population at Rikers. They put his CFO in an isolation ward originally built for contagious prisoners. Still, all the facilities there are decrepit, and NYC is actively looking close it down and replace it.
Speaking of: what’s the deadline of the collection on that one?
I used to think he was intentionally coming up with the wildest shit ever because deep down it’s his way of being a loudmouth jerk to convince people not to vote for him, while still showing he’s a strongman/ ‘speak his mind’ because otherwise he’ll look like a pussy for backing down. But now I just think he’s just a gigantic asshole.
Make no mistake about it he’s a loudmouth jerk, gigantic asshole AND the world’s biggest pussy. The trifecta of douchebaggery.
Well said, Jim, Jim and Jim.
Hey man, don’t leave Jim out :(
When he was still on shitter, I replied to him “shut up” six times in one hour. My account has been restricted ever since (I can’t post). I stopped using it anyway, probably I should delete it
Have you considered that maybe your voice is being silenced?
My account was banned for telling him I hope he dies in jail
So anything that can be spoken is legal? Death threats? Insider trading? Collusion? Conspiracy? Bribery? Stolen valor? Classified info? Voter info?
Lol he’s like a child in time out
they’ve taken away my right to threateny opponents and send my cronies after their families
Oh yes, what a loss. Fuck Trump
Captain Snowflake is always whining about something, and always has. Ever since at least the 80s. The fact that so many people think he’s the ideal of manhood is laughable.
Someone should take a shit down his throat because he’s been shitting in everyone’s ears for a decade
That family is so pro free speech, untill you use that free speech to ask one of them who gets the first line of coke at the family get together? Or is it a trough like situation where you all get to go?
