Judge imposes limited “gag order” on Trump, $5,000 fine, threatens imprisonment

edited October 2023 in Off-Topic
Hope you can access the NYT. I couldnt possibly do this story justice.

NYT: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/16/us/politics/trump-gag-order-chutkan.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

Bordering on the comical: “They put a gag order on me, and I’m not supposed to be talking about things that bad people do, and so we’ll be appealing very quickly,”

Updated - CNBC Story: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/10/20/trump-threatened-with-prison-for-violating-gag-order.html

“ … Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron warned that future violations will subject Trump to “far more severe sanctions” — including imprisonment.”

    Ya, it's never his fault. Goddam child. (Next: don't look now, but a criminal traitor who was in cahoots with the Orange Disgrace re: overturning the 2020 election is about to become House Speaker. To hell in a handbasket. We've been headed there for decades, already..... No, make that "in a JET PLANE.")

    Yes, the entire situation is beginning to resemble a bad Alfred Hitchcock movie script.

    Relax, somewhere there is the real.... I died and this is my hell; you continue in a sane, alternate life, not my eternity where I just drug my memory of you. Believe me, it cannot be real....

    Well said @Anna

    Not a fan either, but he's one of the best of a bad lot. $1.00 seems a bit extravagant, though.

    ...And judge Engoron just had to threaten the Trumpster with jail for not abiding by the gag order. Trump = orange douche nozzle.

    Yes, I've had to step back from the news from out of the Middle East. I can take it in measured doses, because "I gots to know." But it's breaking my heart. Even the pastor noticed me on Sunday, when she had to tell us the hospital was struck. Some of the reports say "Ahli Baptist Hosp." But it's actually Anglican/Episcopal..... And after the service was finished, the pastor asked me point-blank: "How are you doing?" I'm holding it together, but it's still breaking my heart.

    Thanks for sharing. It’s hard to make sense of all the carnage. My mind continues to recall lines from assorted poems long ago remembered.

    ”But if he could describe it all
    He would be an artist.
    But if he were an artist there would he deeper wounds
    Which he could not describe.”
