Trump Says Criticizing Judges 'Should' be illegal, Despite His Own Record

In early August, Donald Trump used his social media platform to push a curious argument: When the left criticizes judges and Supreme Court justices, the former president wrote, it's "probably illegal."

Like Trump, when he is dead. But, before Nadler dies, I doubt that he'll make free speech a criminal offense.

Need I say it? Trump is a Russian in heart and soul, not an American. So too anyone who follows him.

He will insert himself into our lives for the rest of his pathetic life.

Trump is a Russian in heart and soul,

I don't know about that, but he does want to be putin, permanently installed in power and able to do whatever he pleases while ripping off the treasury to enrich himself.

Right now he is afraid of it all collapsing if he loses and ends up convicted for J6 and the documents case.

But he is terrified of whatever putin holds over him becoming public.

@#1 ... Illegal*

*Except when Donald Trump does it" ...

Yeah.

That is the gist of what I've seen so far.


That gist seems to be, it is OK when fmr Pres Trump breaks the law, and he should be allowed to break the law, because, well because...

But if others break that law, then the hammer of Justice needs to fall on them.

Trump probably laundered money through the russian mafia.

And his cult just swallows this stuff.

I weep for the stupidity of our nation.
That we would even CONSIDER a completely incompetent, amoral, psychopathic grifter like Donald Trump speaks volumes to the state of our nation.

Trump has done it plenty of times but also, I see nothing wrong with it nor any way to make it illegal without a Constitutional Amendment. Judges, Justices, etc. should never be above criticism or even public opinion. They can and do ignore piblic opinion but they should be subject to it exavtly like anyone else. Personally, I think Clarece Thomas, Samuel Alito and John Roberts are all pieces of s**t who have been partisan hacks since Roberts became Chief Justice.

Don't worry. Those free speech absolutists like Jeff will be here ANY minute now to criticize Trump for this...

Any minute now...

Just you wait...

(Don't hold your breath)

Trump has repeatedly proven laws don't apply to him.

Trump is emulating Merrick Garland's remarks about criticizing the DOJ.

Never go full Merrick Garland.

Rich people's legal system merged with Trump's cultist attempt to turn America into what Russia is, a pretend democracy. To do that he has to make the media very afraid, and he has to have laws on the books that would let him at a moment's notice, send any of us to jail for calling the Supreme Corrupt Court, well, corrupt.
