Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

The former president attacked Justice Arthur F. Engoron’s clerk in a social media post that soon disappeared. He was called to account behind closed doors.

What's the over/under? How long until he breaks the gag order?

[–] Nightwingdragon 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does anyone know what time he ordered McDonalds? (Yes, he seriously had McD's delivered) And how long does that take to digest?

Right around that time, when he goes to take a shit. That's when he'll do it.

(and of course, the "serious sanctions" that will be imposed is a strongly worded demand in a slightly harsher voice)

when he goes to take a shit. That’s when he’ll do it.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Justice Engoron said that his statement should be considered a gag order forbidding any posts, emails or public remarks about members of his staff.

Mr. Trump has spent much of the first two days of the trial attacking Justice Engoron, Ms. Greenfield and Letitia James, the New York attorney general.

She accused Mr. Trump of “staggering fraud” in the way he inflated the values of his assets, as a way to gain favorable treatment from banks and insurance companies.

Federal prosecutors who have accused Mr. Trump of seeking to overturn the 2020 election have asked a judge for a gag order, citing his threatening statements.

In a criminal case against Mr. Trump in Manhattan, which stems from a 2016 hush money payment to a porn star, the judge has restricted the former president’s ability to post about some evidence.

In a pretrial ruling, Justice Engoron found that the former president was liable for fraud and dissolved the companies he uses to run his New York properties.


The original article contains 465 words, the summary contains 166 words. Saved 64%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Am I the only one who thought the judge has a walking assist stick (staff) and he was told not to comment on it? Lmao really seems like something that could be real.
