Trump Gagged? No Way! - 04/03/2024

The New York supreme court judge Juan Merchan in Trump's "hush money" case has expanded on his earlier gag order which tried to restrict what Trump could publicly say about the case. The order came late yesterday which gags the former president from speaking in public about Manhattan D.A. Alvin Brag's family members and all others named including jurors, potential jurors, counsel, court staff, witnesses, and their families. The judge wrote, “This pattern of attacking family members of presiding jurists and attorneys assigned to his cases serves no legitimate purpose, it merely injects fear in those assigned or called to participate in the proceedings that not only they, but their family members as well, are ‘fair game,’ for Defendant’s vitriol.” He further wrote that courts are "understandably concerned" on restricting defendants' free speech, especially for those who are publicly notable. He further wrote, “The circumstances of the instant matter, however, are different. The conventional ‘David vs. Goliath’ roles are no longer in play as demonstrated by the singular power defendant’s words have on countless others.” In his ruling arguments he cited from the prosecution, “multiple potential witnesses have already raised grave concerns [...] about their own safety and that of their family members should they appear as witnesses against the defendant.” On those fears he wrote that they would "undoubtedly interfere" with the proceedings, and he continued. “The average observer, must now, after hearing defendant’s recent attacks, draw the conclusion that if they become involved in these proceedings, even tangentially, they should worry not only for themselves, but for their loved ones as well.” State prosecutor Matthew Colangelo wrote, “Defendant’s dangerous, violent, and reprehensible rhetoric fundamentally threatens the integrity of these proceedings and is intended to intimidate witnesses and trial participants alike—including this Court.” The state attorney's office was referencing Trump's remarks about the judge's daughter.

This judge, Juan Merchan, is compromised with a serious case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, and Trump's lawyers think he should recuse himself from the case because his daughter, Loren Merchan who owns a Democrat political consulting firm, heavily profited from her fundraisers dedicated to hurt and remove Trump from the political scene. The judge's wife, Lara Merchan, used to work for New York Attorney General Letitia James, who prosecuted Trump for a victimless crime of "over valuating" his property to get a more favorable loan, and to which he paid back fully with interest that made Duetsche Bank (no complaints) a lot of money. Another ridiculous, unconstitutionally brought case, which, like all the others, is nothing more than political persecution. Judge Juan Merchan's profile picture on X was of Donald Trump behind bars. I think it's fair to say that this judge is compromised, or as Trump would say, "by a lot!"

Of course, the mainstream media's talking point's echoe-chamber put out that Trump made threatening remarks about the judge's daughter, when in fact he did no such thing. One of his Truth Social posts reads, “Judge Juan Merchan, a very distinguished looking man, is nevertheless a true and certified Trump Hater who suffers from a very serious case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. In other words, he hates me! His daughter is a senior executive at a Super Liberal Democrat firm that works for Adam ‘Shifty’ Schiff, the Democrat National Committee, Senate Majority PAC, and even Crooked Joe Biden.”

As I have said before, I think all of these cases against Trump should be dismissed and thrown out, as they are obviously political witch hunts directed by Biden's crooked administration and their weaponized justice department. So, Trump appropriately calls them the "Biden trials." The left thinks they can stop him from coming back to DC, and this judge thinks he can silence him, to keep him from pointing out all of the obvious corruption in that's clearly in plain sight for anyone with a functioning brain to see; --No Way! No Way! - will they ever silence or stop him, and No Way! - will they ever silence or stop us, we the people. Trump is right when he declares these trials as being "election interference," and that they should never, ever take place in the United States of America: abso-futting-lutely; -- No Way!

i do genuinely get the idea that electing a facist democrat who might keep policies in place that will protect vulnerable communities while keeping trump out is ostensibly the morally right thing to do, but i also do not trust you white libs to continue showing up for poc and palestinians once your own personal safety is secured.

when biden was elected in 2020 you all took that as a final victory and stopped protesting with us. we went from burning shit down to business as usual, losing all the momentum we had built together over that summer… because you thought biden would provide a safety net for you to go back to living your normal life of white privilege.

but here’s the sticking point— biden was never going to save you, and neither is kamala harris or 99% of democrats with a lot of power. project 2025 has already been underway under the biden administration, and it will continue (albiet faster or slower) regardless of who’s elected if we don’t rise up as a singular american people to stop it

if a democrat wins in november, i better not see you leaving the streets. we need to fight on.

I love this, it's fairly lighthearted and she has great energy throughout the pseudo-interview, vote blue and vote Harris this election.

Kamala Harris doesn’t support an arms embargo of Israel?

I don’t support giving Kamala Harris my vote.

SIMPLE!

Change policy publicly to earn my vote.

SUPPORT AN ARMS EMBARGO OF ISRAEL

We need to smash the mythology of Republicans being fiscally responsible and good at economics. Shoveling vast amounts of money into the pockets of venal oligarchs who don't need it is not good for the country.

Former president Donald Trump approved almost twice as much borrowing as current President Joe Biden during his four years in office, according to the Committee for a Responsible Budget (CFRB). Trump, who presided over the federal government from 2016 to 2020, approved $8.4 trillion in new ten-year debt. But incumbent president Biden, who defeated Trump four years ago, has approved $4.3 trillion in new borrowing, said a new report by the committee. As for reducing the budget deficit, Trump cut it by $443 billion. The Biden administration has reduced it by $1.9 trillion. The U.S. is sitting on a total of $34.73 trillion in national debt, accrued over the country's history, according to government data.

I often say that Republicans create a mess when in office. And when they're voted out, the Republicans then try to make a campaign issue out of Democrats not cleaning up the Republican mess quickly enough.

During the Trump years, his tax cuts added $1.9 trillion in U.S. debt, while the budget passed in 2018 and 2019 generated borrowing of $2.1 trillion. Those two policy moves contributed some of the largest debt increases during Trump's tenure. Over the last three and a half years, under Biden, some of the largest contributors to the national debt included the appropriations bills of fiscal year 2022 and 2023 that generated $1.4 trillion of borrowing, while the American Rescue Plan Act was responsible for $2.1 trillion in debt, according to CFRB.

The Trump tax breaks for the filthy rich will automatically expire in a few years. That's why multi-billionaires are ignoring Trump's dictatorial behavior and criminality and are dropping HŪGE donations into Trump's campaign coffers so that he can renew their tax breaks if he gets back into office. Their rapacious greed is downright pathological.

When those tax breaks expire, provided Biden wins, the debt will then level off as it did during the Clinton administration after Democrats raised taxes on the filthy rich. Bill Clinton ended his presidency with a budget surplus.

As long as we're talking economics, a reminder that 90.9% of all recessions of the past 71 years began under Republicans.

... just sayin'.

The Harris-Walz campaign should consider itself on notice. With no agreement yet reached on a cease-fire, and with college students returning soon to their campuses, Democrats are not going to be given any sort of free pass on Gaza. Many who care passionately about Palestinian suffering believe that “Donald Trump would be worse” sounds like an excuse, not a policy.

everybody shitting their pants over having “only 3 months” to choose a new dem candidate please take a breath. it’s gonna be okay. on a worldwide scale, 3 months is actually a pretty long time for candidates to run— we’re just used to an ABSURDLY LONG campaign trail in the US, but there’s no real need for them to be like that.

there has been talk of 1.) an open convention, and 2.) a two-week mini-primary to choose a new candidate. this is an amazing opportunity for leftist voters to elect someone who can break the status quo! stay calm and vote for the candidate who can make real change

Alex Seitz-Wald, Jonathan Allen and Megan Lebowitz at NBC News:

CHICAGO — Democrats released their party platform document on Sunday, laying out more than 90 pages of policy priorities just one day before its convention kicks off. But the party platform was written and voted on by the Democratic National Convention’s Platform Committee before President Joe Biden dropped out of the race, and the document repeatedly highlights the president's achievements and positions — even when they differ slightly from Vice President Kamala Harris' comments. The platform refers to Biden’s “second term” more than a dozen times, underscoring the unprecedented timing of the top of the ticket shake-up.

The document was approved by the Platform Committee on July 16, just days before Biden bowed out of the race on July 21. Convention delegates will vote on the platform Monday night, a largely ceremonial procedure.  "This election is a choice between two very different economic visions for America: Donald Trump, who sees the world from his country club at Mar-a-Lago; and Joe Biden, who sees it from kitchen tables in Scranton like the one he grew up around," the document says in the economy chapter. The economy chapter emphasizes many Democratic priorities that Biden and Harris have touted, including improving infrastructure, supporting unions and pushing for a federal minimum wage of $15 an hour. The document also highlights Biden's proposal for a $10,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers, though the 2020 platform pushed for a $15,000 credit.

Harris, however, said last week that she would provide a $25,000 subsidy for first-time homebuyers, a more than twofold increase from the party platform document. The platform also touted Democrats expanding the child tax credit to $3,600 for "nearly 40 million families." Harris said last week that she would go further, touting a plan to offer “$6,000 in tax relief to families during the first year of a child’s life.”  The policy platform is divided into nine chapters, emphasizing the party's top issues, including lowering costs, fighting climate change and gun violence, and strengthening democracy. “It makes a strong statement about the historic work that President Biden and Vice President Harris have accomplished hand-in-hand, and offers a vision for a progressive agenda that we can build on as a nation and as a Party as we head into the next four years,” the DNC said in a press release.

Sunday evening, on the night before the DNC Convention begins, the Democratic National Committee has released its Democratic Party platform that comes out at 90 pages, beginning with a land acknowledgement.

The platform contains references to a potential Joe Biden 2nd term, since the document was approved on July 16th, 5 days before President Joe Biden bowed out of his re-election bid.

Blue MAGA Liberals Have No Answer

besides that they don’t care to take action. Or that they refuse to use their collective power, for feigned fear of being powerless against mega donors and lobbyists. When they know that we know they very well COULD choose to use their collective power, as they did under Trump. Hardline public statements ONLY. Nothing less.

Ben Wikler should be the next head of the Democratic National Committee. He is currently head of the party in Wisconsin where Dems have turned things around in the past six years by getting back to basics.

Watching the vid above will be one of the most pleasant political things you have done in the past few weeks. Wikler even impressed Jon Stewart who was almost getting orgasmic from his guest's comments.

Democrats have relied way too much on virtual things like online ads and analytics and have badly neglected in-person, on the ground reachout to voters. We need to stop talking at people and start listening to people – and not just those in deep blue bunkers.

Look up who your county and state Dem leaders are and contact them to urge support for Ben Wikler as Democratic National Committee chair.
