Trump had asked to deliver part of the closing arguments himself, but Engoron rejected the request Wednesday in a contentious email exchange with Trump's lawyers after the former president refused to commit to only speaking about the facts of the case and not engage in any attacks.
The judge didn't really reject their request, they simply ghosted him when he told them the terms under which he would accept their request, and after 2 or 3 deadline extensions their opportunity lapsed.
Been hearing about threats to the judge for some time now. Can't wait till we start seeing these people charged and prosecuted.
It's only a matter of time before one of these fucks actually does something.
Edit: They've already done plenty... I don't know why I worded my original comment like that. I guess I'm just waiting for someone to do something that even the most head-in-the-sand people can't ignore, as if J6 wasn't enough.
A great example of how his followers just want to blow up and maim anything and everything that gets in their way..
All of those judges, attorneys and critics might end up in jail when big orange comes into power again. You just have to listen to his „Project 2025“ agenda.
And nobody shall say they didn’t know what they were electing…
of course he faces threats of violence.. any time a Trump supporter doesn't get what they want, they threaten violence and anything else they can think of..
This doesn't happen after a coup, does it?
I've never lived in a place where the people in power took over in a coup. But, when I read about them, I never hear of the people who live there sending bomb threats to judges who are siding with the perpetrators of the coup. When a group takes power in a coup, they're normally ruthless, they kill people who threaten them, and they make it clear that dissent won't be tolerated.
So, these MAGA / Q-Anon types believe that Biden took power in a coup by stealing the election. But, they also believe that it was such a soft coup that they didn't bother to jail or kill Trump. It was such a gentle coup that the only "political prisoners" are the people who stormed the capitol, and then only after long investigations and public trials. It's such a kind coup that they are happy to allow demonstrations, TV networks that oppose them, discussions on the Internet that they can't control. These people also think that they can get away with sending bomb threats because the regime that took power in the coup is even softer on crime than the typical government, which would arrest people who sent bomb threats.
How do you send a bomb threat to a judge without thinking are we the baddies? At some point you have to stop and think: our side is doing X, their side is doing Y.
| "our side" | "their side" |
|---|---|
| Sacking the capitol | Stealing an election |
| Sending bomb threats to judges | Killing babies |
| Abusing presidential power on day one as retribution against enemies, but only for one day | Charging Trump in several open criminal and civil trials |
| Paraphrasing Hitler | Charging and trying people who rioted on Jan 6th in normal, open criminal trials |
| ... | ... |
Like, how do you make a list like that and never once consider whether your side might be the baddies?
Nothing screams innocent more than making bomb threats.
When are we going to designate MAGA Republicans as the terrorists they are?
He’s just trying to delay the decision because he knows he’s guilty.
I almost want to see what these bozos would come up with if they tried to build a bomb. Not exactly the best and brightest America has to offer so I'd expect some duds and premature detonations from "Jim-Bob's Truck Nuts and IED Emporium".
r/conservative not caring, yet gaslighting with BLM name calling these days. They have no shame.
