Lots of us are not, though, and we are both ready and willing to use deadly force against insider threats if the rules of engagement and deadly force compel us to. We swore oaths to defend against enemies both foreign and domestic and to refuse unlawful orders which are contrary to regulation and the Constitution.
Lots of military men may be tRumpers, but that doesn’t mean they’re ready to commit treason and die for him. Some sure, but I bet that number is much lower than they want you to think.
Rules that would poison the right to a fair trial, or stifle free speech would give Trump a reason to appeal, and win that appeal. The judges have their hands tied. I am sure that each judge and prosecutor saw it coming, but acted anyway.
When judges have to knowingly allow attacks on their family in order to eliminate grounds for appeal, that’s just another indication of how fucked up our legal system is.
Trump’s criticism often comes at a cost for his targets. Merchan, Engoron and the judge presiding over his federal election interference case in Washington, D.C., Tanya Chutkan, have all recieved threats following Trump’s complaints.
[…]
While he didn’t initially issue an order at the start of the case, the judge said he was acting now “given the nature and impact of the statements made against this Court and a family member” as well as district attorneys and witnesses, adding that “given that the eve of trial is upon us, it is without question that the imminency of the risk of harm is now paramount.”
[…]
“Indeed, his statements were threatening, inflammatory” and “denigrating,” and the “consequences of those statements included not only fear on the part of the individual targeted, but also the assignment of increased security resources to investigate threats and protect the individuals and family members thereof,” the judge wrote.
That this is being reported on and treated as somewhat rational is the slow march into fascism that will destroy us.
Oh nooooooooo trump may have to pay another twenty cents! Just for creating the environment by which like-hinged persons can attack the judge and family. soooo unfaaaairrrrrrrr
I can’t figure out whether some of his public statements regarding cases are legitimately because he’s just being an idiot and disregarding his lawyers or because he’s got some kind of calculated position that it’s a good idea to work an image of victimization for his political campaign.
I’d like to add, I had unexplained dry heavings in the mornings, nausea that lasted from the moment I woke up until the moment I went to sleep. I couldn’t eat anything because everything including the smell of food would make me dry heave. Any strong smell really. Turned out to be PTSD from the army. A friend recommended and provided a joint. I had been to neurologist, psychiatrist, and every known medical profession in between and nobody could help with the symptoms. The medications prescribed made things worse. That one joint literally saved my life. I say all this on the odd chance that you haven’t tried cannabis. Your symptoms and your anxiety sound so much like what I went through for years.
My apologies though, I don’t mean to pry. I just know how you feel right now. Hugs brother.
I have read great things about (magic) mushrooms with regards to PTSD also.
EDIT - I remember reading your post detailing your issues with food/smells somewhere around here not to long ago. That’s great that you’ve found something to provide some relief!
You have posted about this on multiple forums and have sent it to me multiple times privately. I have said over and over again that I do not want medical advice from internet strangers.
You think you know better than the best doctors in the U.S. about someone you’ve never met and whose symptoms you don’t understand. Even when I told you in PM that it had been ruled out, you still insisted it is. You don’t even know my medical history. All you know is I use cannabis and that there is a digestive issue that some cannabis users have and that’s what I have.
I don’t care if you’re the world’s expert on gastrointestinal and neurological problems and you went to Most Holy Medical School where Jesus himself taught you how to heal. You don’t know anything about me or my medical history and that alone makes any “diagnosis” you’ve come up with bullshit.
You’re as bad as my mother. But I can’t block her.
Even actual doctors will either decline to speculate or will discuss but make it abundantly clear that they are not your doctor and they are not giving you medical advice.
That’s because even real doctors need your history and your overall health picture in order to do their job correctly. There are ethical AND legal rules to enforce this.
He loves the Mexicans. I know this because one time he posed for a photo OP and gave a thumbs up to the taco bowl some worthless peon brought him from the taco place in his building before he ended up spraying diarrhea all over his gold-plated shitter and clogging it because he forgot to take the ultra-classified files out of it first.
The judge’s daughter is involved in politics and has worked for Kamala Harris and Adam Schiff’s campaigns. So, of course, he thinks that makes her dad irrecovably biased.
Apparently she quit Twitter and closed her account. It got hacked and reactivated and now there are photos of Trump behind bars. It’s all staged so that he can screech about how biased everything is against him.
