11th violation of gag order : lock him up.

[-] DemBoSain@midwest.social 73 points 5 months ago

No, it's okay. He deleted it and nobody saw it. Absolutely nobody. Any rumors otherwise are just that, rumors.

[-] Kid_Thunder@kbin.social 34 points 5 months ago

He's not getting locked up. I doubt he'll even be sentenced to any time in a cell even if he's found guilty. He's not even going to get probation. He's going to completely show that the Justice system once again is not equal and fair but not for the reasons he will continue to whine about.

[-] alquicksilver@lemmy.world 32 points 5 months ago

Lock him up and Epstein away the key.

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 22 points 5 months ago

Why would you turn off the cameras and hang his key from the bars of his cell? That sounds like the easiest prison break ever

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

not to someone with short arms.

What, real consequences for deliberately and publicly ignoring yet another court order? You must be imagining if one of us was a defendant.

She detailed having met Trump at a golf tournament in 2006, when she was 27 years old and — as she tells it — Trump was already older than her father.

I'm sorry to be pedantic, but wasn't he always older than her father? Like, that's how age works.

[-] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 52 points 5 months ago

You should absolutely be pedantic about a paid, published article having writing like that. It’s not some random internet comment from someone who may or may not have graduated high school, this was approved by multiple people who allegedly went to college for the writing related jobs they have. It should at least pass the “does this make sense if you think about it at all for more than 5 seconds” test.

And yeah I know reporters and writers facing the same overwork/underpay squeeze as everyone else. This is more about the corporations that run these papers and magazines being responsible for things deteriorating to this point.

[-] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 13 points 5 months ago

I think you could also read it as "was already [so old he was] older than her father."

[-] androogee@midwest.social 12 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

That's the same reading. That doesn't change the meaning at all. Am I taking crazy pills?

I used to be older than my little brother.

I still am, but I used to, too.

No, he paid for age reduction surgery in 2017.

[-] herrcaptain@lemmy.ca 10 points 5 months ago

I'd say they should give him his money back, but we all know he never paid the bill in the first place.

My dad stopped aging in 2015

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 28 points 5 months ago
[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 19 points 5 months ago

Thank you, that's very sweet of you. While my statement was a bit tongue-in-cheek, if I live to see my 60th birthday, I'll officially be older than my father ever was.

Maybe it's one of those "at the time, Trump was older than my father ever was" kind of statements

Maybe he pulled it back to proofread for spelling, grammar and clarity

[-] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 43 points 5 months ago

Or to fact check it. He doesn't seem like the type to jump the gun

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 40 points 5 months ago

Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you something. Tremendous things, really. So, I tweeted something, and people are saying, “Donald, what’s going on with that tweet?” And I said, “Look, folks, it was a tremendous tweet, the best tweet, believe me.” But then, I thought, maybe it was too tremendous. Maybe it was too powerful. So, I deleted it. And people are saying, “Wow, that’s leadership.” And they’re right. Because I’m a leader, and leaders lead.

[-] TheFlopster@lemmy.world 26 points 5 months ago

Little bit too coherent. And he would never second guess a decision he claims he made.

Maybe trail off in the middle of a sentence, and then mutter something about the liberals making Twitter delete it? Because everyone is in awe of how much sense he makes, and how right he is all the time.

You didn't go off on a random tangent halfway through. Not believable.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

He wouldn't want a repeat of the embarrassing 'hamberder' incident, which haunts him to this day.

The former president seemingly remembered that violating his gag order by commenting on witnesses could land him in jail

Oh, he remembered. He just thinks he's playing 4D chess by tweeting then deleting because "it doesn't count."

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 38 points 5 months ago

I really don't think he can retain anything he finds boring for more then 5 minutes. He's not playing imagery 4D chess. He really is that stupid.

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 44 points 5 months ago

Bet he didnt delete it

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 35 points 5 months ago
[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 23 points 5 months ago

Dumbfuck has never heard the term 'surprise witness.' And this one wasn't even a surprise. Of course she testified.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 5 months ago

Now he’s threatening me with JAIL, & THEY HAVE NO CASE

I thought this shithead was ready to go to jail for ~~speaking his mind~~ committing multiple contempts of court. I guess that's not the case when it's not him talking.

Merchan ruled as court began that Daniels can testify about her alleged sexual encounter with Trump and “how she felt about it,” but that he didn’t want to hear any of the nitty-gritty regarding the alleged affair with Daniels. We don’t need to know the details of intercourse,” Merchan said. Prosecutors assured the court that Daniels would not be describing “genitalia” in her testimony, ensuring the jury would not be subjected to another mushroom-comparison session.

Anyone else notice the closing parentheses but no opening paren? Again, I'm sick of not having proper copy-editors in journalism!

Look, I'm just gonna say what no one else is brave enough to say: he's awesome, let's elect him again, it's ok when he breaks the law. Fucking pig.

[-] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

He deleted it therefor not contempt of court.

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 9 points 5 months ago

Meaning he posted it.
