He should be in jail right now-revoke his bail-and no one should be allowed to call him or visit him except his lawyers.

13. It will be more difficult. The cult follows their idol, their leader.

If he is in prison, he will be less powerful.

But yes he is still dangerous.

3. The judges are being irresponsible for not getting Trump under control.

Someone is going to get killed and the judges bear the blame for allowing Trump to incite violence.

11. Not buying this. Criminals have bail revoked every day for far lessor violations.

And it doesn't take judges months and months to obsess about it either.
As people are getting threatened and maybe killed.

And Trump is now threatening high ranking military officers, a threat to national security.

The judges need to get off their backsides and start acting more quickly.
To save lives. To save their country.

If they are too afraid to do their job, they need to turn it over to someone who can.
Who is not afraid of Trump.

This is no longer about Trump. It is about the American criminal justice system.

14. You don't have to buy it! In the court of public opinion, no one has to observe

federal jurisprudence. Emphasis on the last word.

As long as you're not out on bond, you're 1A free to criticize all you want, like yell to the world that Trump is threatening, assaulting, intimidating, dog whistling, etc., You're free to denigrate the courts, judges, call them all the names you want.

But know this:
You, me, no one else outside the federal courts gets to tell the courts what jurisprudence content, pace, timeline, behavior, merits or the law to suit their public idea of justice -- not yours, mine, or anyone else's.

If you think it's about the American criminal justice system, saving lives and country, lay out what will constitutionally improve on the DOJ and the judiciary. Be careful, though.

6. The coward knows he's guilty

So he encourages other cowards to fight his fight. They have and they will because they are stupid and for that the coward loves them.

He’s never been held accountable until now, and republicans in Washington who know he’s guilty are also doing his get me out of trouble work.

You suck as an American if you vote for a Republican at the state or national level.
