"NEW: Donald Trump just posted a series of articles targeting Justice Merchan's daughter and wife, despite a recent expansion of the gag order barring him from attacking family members of the judge."

Applegrove:

I hope someone asks MAGAs if they believe in sabotage is good for the country.

1. Lock him up ha yeah sure

[Celerity]

13. ...

[TheBlackAdder]

16. He'll look like Paul Manafort in a few days. No bronzer allowed so he is a pasty lily white ghost.

[Dan]

23. You forgot the Bible....:)

[ProudMNDemocrat]

32. Slap him with these conditions that are vital to him...

No makeup
No hair dresser
No DEPENDS...just regular tightie whities
No special diet...eat what is given you
NO access to Social Media
ONE phone call daily
No suits with red ties
No visitors other than spouse, maybe immediate family, and 1 Lawyer.(I doubt Jr. and Eric will visit. They could be next. Ivanka? She wouldn't dare.)After a few days of this, TSF just might cooperate. But then, maybe not.

2. Lock him up for 2 days, 1 for each vio.

When he gets out and does it again double the lockup time for CONTEMPT.

Keep doing that.
Double it each time.

[TheBlackAdder]

14. He won't be a martyr. Most will see him as an ass who taunted the court. Election is 6 months away.

Most people will forget he was put in the clink, except for his constant whining about it.

No one challenges the guy on things, and he needs the shit scared out of him.

[agingdem]

20. great idea..

the first time he's in a holding cell (no phone/no press) he'll play the martyr...and his brain dead militia will break something somewhere and law enforcement will be ready...the second time he gets his ass thrown in jail he can invoke Jesus and no will care..and other than some guy selling Trump tees out of the back of a van, Trump's weekend warriors will be somewhere else harassing drag queens...

[dalton99a]

3. Yep

[Poiuyt]

4. He's trying to get thrown in jail

He wants to play the martyr card.

[Timewas]

10. Fck it

Lock his sorry ass up, let them start riots and throw them in with him.

[Tansy_Gold]

17. Someone should remind him that martyrs

. . . are dead.

He wants to play the martyr card but without actually being martyred. He doesn't really want to go to real jail; he has no concept of that reality. It's all a fantasy to him.

The system's whole fear of what would happen if they DID put him in jail is what keeps him doing it. Lock him up -- as someone said, put him in on Friday, keep him over the week-end, hearing on Monday morning -- and I'd be willing to be good money (up to $5 USD) he'd sing a very different tune. It might not be a better one, but it would be different.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

5. If magas had a choice between sharing power and governing a nation, or ruling alone over the ashes of said nation...

I think we know what their choice would be.

[OAITW r.2.0]

6. Don't send him to prison. Make him wear an ankle bracelet, restricted to MAL, and no posting privileges.

Accomplishes the point but makes Trump's "restrictions" pretty comfy. No martyrs here.

[Irish_Dem]

7. The MAGAs think killing a sitting Vice President is great.

They probably feel the same way about a judge and his family.

[BlueKota]

8. My prediction

He won't suffer any actual consequences. Franklin D. Roosevelt said the only thing to fear is fear itself.

We are going to lose our democracy because we are too afraid of what he and his nutcases might do.

Guess what? They're going to find an excuse to do what they want to do no matter what our side does. We can't let the fear stop us from trying to stop him and them before it's too late.

If we give up without out a fight they win anyway.

[Silent3]

26. *I* am not too afraid. But the people with power to do anything about Trump right away sure are

I want no part of a "we" that includes those people. I don't want to be group-punished for their cowardice.

Other than work for Trump's electoral defeat, which I'm certainly doing and will continue to do, I don't personally have the power to force judges and prosecutors and law enforcement agencies to stop treating Trump with kid gloves.

9. Lock him up even for one day

When new convicts are taken in, they can shave their heads to protect inmates from bugs and head lice in the population.
That wad of carpet fibers on His skull is much more precious to him than his fake fortunes and fines.
Those fucking hats would no longer fit on his maingy Patchy bald skull and embarrass the hell out of him.

[TheBlackAdder]

12. Incarcerate him on Friday afternoon and have the hearing on Monday morning, like regular folk.

[Traildogbob]

15. Still shave that sticky mop

[republianmushroom]

11. Want too stop this crap, give him 5 days in county jail, second offense 30 days.

There won't be a second time.

[Think. Again.]

18. Do whatever would be done to anyone else in this situation, regardless...

...of who he is, who he was, or who his 'supporters' are.

Our justice system can not be bent like it has been for this guy.

[mzmolly]

19. Send the squad of 'indemnified' police

to arrest that MF.

[MOMFUDSKI]

21. Calling the judge. Pick up the house phone

judge.

[nakocal]

22. The judge should not hold him in contempt

Instead he should revoke Trump's bail and then jail until the trial is concluded. Then Trump will have some time served to go against his sentence.

[EndlessWire]

24. I don't think he has a bail bond in this case.

He has a $200,000 bond in Georgia for the Fani Willis/Judge Mcaffey RICO case, with multiple defendants out on bail.
He has an $175 million (?) Appellate bond in front of J. Engoron, which just got rejected.
He has an $86 million (?) Appellate bond posted in the EJ Carroll case.
I don't know why he doesn't have a bond in the docs case in Florida.

So, I don't think that he has any detriment other than to have to come to Court on a Show Cause why he shouldn't be held in contempt. He has probably been told that all he'll get is a fine. He doesn't care about that.

I am not quite sure if these posts actually are violations of the new gag order. He has been ordered not to use third parties, sure, but these are not the caliber of approving of kidnapping and killing Biden. Someone has told him that these are okay. Also, are these predating the new order?

I think he should be hauled in and kept waiting all damned day. Two can play this game, but I think that DA Bragg has to file something and ask the Judge to hold him in contempt. Otherwise, we'll just keep complaining.

Eleven days to go. Get him, DA Bragg!

[Silent3]

27. Whether there's a bail *bond* or not, he's definitely out on bail

If you've been arrested (Trump has) and are awaiting trial for a crime (Trump is), then you're either locked up or out on bail. That bail will have conditions, and it can be revoked if those conditions are violated.

[EndlessWire]

29. Do you have a link?

I'd like to read it, because I could not find it.

"What the Bail Law Does. New York's bail law currently eliminates money bail for most misdemeanors and nonviolent felonies. Those accused of these crimes are either freed without restrictions while their case plays out, or released under certain conditions like electronic monitoring."

Has this guy got an ankle bracelet we don't know about? One with a really long range? Because, I don't think this guy has a bond on him. I do think that there might be some self evident restrictions like, don't commit crimes, but I don't think he has anything in writing. I think when this case started, it was a misdemeanor, but was elevated when it became apparent that it could be a felony. So, maybe they should revisit the issue of bail! Get Bragg to motion for him to be brought in for bail purposes. Then watch him squirm to come up with that cash.

[Silent3]

30. I don't know the specifics of New York State law...

...but I'd guess that conditions like not breaking court orders about making threats would apply to anyone out on bail, even if it's so rare to have a case like Trump. I'd take "freed without restrictions" to mean "freed without restrictions, so long as you abide by the law and court orders".

If New York's bail laws omit that, then New York has fucked up.

[Initech]

25. Trump's trying to get people killed. What a sick fuck.

[ecstatic]

28. that's it. Lock. Him. Up!

Just do it!

There's no way to put the genie back in the bottle.

trump has already activated at least 1 would be killer.

[FormerOstrich]

31. Why is being Anti-Trump considered bad?

Any time I read his ravings I just stare and shake my head. Most law abiding citizens, court personnel (judges/prosecutors) and other people that care about our country are "biased" against those that are operating outside our rule of law, mores, and decency. Shouldn't they be biased against them? I am.

Trump has a great talent (and it kills me to give him credit for anything) of manipulating and coming out on top. I remember during so many things hearing someone say: "If we do that it will play right into his hands". But, everything is playing right into his hands because he makes it so. Or, coerces it so. Or, just declares it so.

Why can't he just go away....

[applegrove]

33. He's at 44 in the 3 way polls. He's not popular. He just has a

loyal base. Past Presidential candidates had much better numbers. He is not doing well. He lies and gets called out for being a liar every day. He tries to break the Justice system every day. His followers want to debase women and their rights every day. He threatens the economy every day with his talk of locking up millions of undocumented. Every day he proves himself to be an obvious fascist.
