1. Then perhaps he should be a bit more specific about the target when he issues threats

I have zero doubt who that threat was aimed at, and only his cult will believe otherwise.

2. Now that is funny. Stuffing tooth paste back in the tube. Really bad timing is a Trump trademark.

[Scrivener7]

3. That's the thing with him though. No one has to

believe him. He just has to provide a lie that his.followers can SAY they believe. The power is in the consistency of the lies between him and his followers.

16. Sad but dangerously TRUE

4. Typical threat behavior of a Sociopath

"It was a joke".
Sociopaths do not understand humor or jokes. The posting is the politic-speak expression of "I was only joking".

5. Trump's not walking back his threat..

his spokesman is...Trump doesn't backtrack..he doubles down...and the spokesman, the moron assigned to clean up Trump's verbal poop, attempted to qualify "IF YOU GO AFTER ME I"M COMING AFTER YOU!"...he wasn't threatening Jack Smith, he was threatening Trump-haters, RINOS, Joe Biden, and other prosecutors/judges and their families...

7. All of us!

who speak out against him - including the media.

[claudette]

6. Political speech

can also be a threat - which is a crime. This orange criminal is pushing the envelope and Jack Smith is ready for him. I'm wondering why the judge hasn't issued the order yet? or better yet, issued a gag order or an order to go to jail til trial.

11. Because the ambiguous in law offending post didn't trigger a jail request by the Motion?

[claudette]

23. Well

The judge has asked Dump for a response to the protective order by 5pm on Monday. We’ll see what happens

[Alexander Of Assyria]

24. Judge can't order what isn't being asked, it's fairly simple...now just asking for written

response to the ordinary motion for evidence discovery being made not public…already done in Florida!

[claudette]

27. I'm not sure

what your point is but he could be in big trouble

[marble falls]

8. No it wasn't. It was to Smith and the witnesses against him.

[JohnSJ]

9. and those witnesses he would consider as "RINOS"

[marble falls]

10. Exactimundo!

[Prairie_Seagull]

12. Could this be a 'walk it back or else'? nt

[dweller]

13. The definition of political speech ?

Is that what they teach at trump u ?


I call bullshit


✌🏻

[GoCubsGo]

14. Trump always makes things worse for Trump.

Yet again, he fucked around and found out. "Political speech" my fat ass.

[BlueIdaho]

15. Keep digging asshole.

Historically, the more he explains - the worse things get.

[newdayneeded]

17. lol!!

Now you just fully turned Koch against you. they've got billions to bury you in ads.

[kentuck]

18. He's just testing the line...

To see how far he can go before there are any consequences.

[Happy Hoosier]

20. I agree...

… if this is allowed to pass without comment from the court, we‘ll get more

[Prairie_Seagull]

21. It's a childish dare. nt

[Takket]

19. He can explain it in person to the judge and the judge can decide.

[Prairie_Seagull]

22. I posted this in LBN, in a thread that OS locked.

This mfer has never been shy about calling people out by name or organization in the past.

That he meant the comment toward some theoretical political adversary is absolute bullshit.

Lock him up, gag him or sternly warn him so it makes the front page of the times. Something FFS.

25. Nice Try

26. Prosecutors ask judge to issue protective order after Trump post appearing to promise revenge

The Justice Department has asked a federal judge overseeing the criminal case against former President Donald Trump in Washington to step in after he released a post online that appeared to promise revenge on anyone who goes after him.

Prosecutors on Friday requested that U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan issue a protective order concerning evidence in the case, a day after Trump pleaded not guilty to charges of trying to overturn his 2020 election loss and block the peaceful transition of power. The order, different from a “gag order,” would limit what information Trump and his legal team could share publicly about the case brought by special counsel Jack Smith.

Chutkan on Saturday gave Trump’s legal team until 5 p.m. Monday to respond to the government’s request.

Such protective orders are common in criminal cases, but prosecutors said it’s “particularly important in this case” because Trump has posted on social media about “witnesses, judges, attorneys, and others associated with legal matters pending against him.”
