Trump couldn’t do it. He couldn’t obey a simple gag order not to continue to threaten court staff. Judge Engoron was furious at Trump for doxxing a court clerk of his, and he ordered Trump to take down the post and stop the harassing. But Trump left the post up on a campaign website, and now the judge is rightfully furious. The campaign calls it an “oversight” but it sure feels like a direct violation of the order. Sanctions are likely, stay tuned…
@georgetakei LOCK HIM UP
@Phiend @georgetakei Lock him up AND TAKE AWAY HIS INTERNET ACCESS.
@georgetakei He was found in contempt and a $5000 fine imposed.
@georgetakei I believe a $5000 sanction has already been handed down.
@georgetakei May the dildo of consequences be so un-lubed & dry the Sahara desert goes "Damn!"

@georgetakei Fuck trump, completely, but Engoron made the right decision for now since it was an automated email loop back that someone probably setup 5 years ago and hasn’t thought of since. I can actually see how an attempt to remediate might miss that.

He gave him a break so that the next time he fucks up, because he will, he can skewer his ass. It’s only a matter of time.

@wesleyradcliffe @georgetakei

Or he will huff and puff more and give out another token fine (what I expect).

@georgetakei

$5k fine and he's still not in jail.

@georgetakei I am going to be so very sick of popcorn after all is said and done.
@iamKhris For sake of not getting too tired of popcorn, try other poppables, corny or otherwise.
@georgetakei
@riley @georgetakei Great point! There’s going to be a lot of snacking involved, might as well have a variety. 😂
@georgetakei $5k is nothing to this thief
@reconbot Considering that he had to use a bail bondsman for a slightly larger bond, he'll probably be requesting rescission of the sanction on the basis of being unable to find anybody who would lend him the money.
@georgetakei
@georgetakei I wish they would not continue to give Trump special treat - he violated the gag order. Throw him in jail.
@georgetakei Enough threats. No more fines. Consequences are the only thing he understands. Let’s see them applied immediately.
@georgetakei right, furious to the tune of (check notes)… five grand. Not nearly enough. People of colors other than orange spend months, if not years, in jail for a lot less than that. Happy it happened but certainly insufficient and inadequate.
@georgetakei
The only problem with sending 45 to jail is that the Secret Service has to serve the time with him.

@ballista11 @georgetakei

He has plenty of phone-destroying bootlickers in the secret service who'd like nothing more than to spend their days with the Great Pumpkin.

@georgetakei Throw his lawyer in jail.
Repeat until he is representing himself pro bono.
@georgetakei being a decent human being is an oversight for him

@georgetakei I wpuld like they forbid trump to use any computer or digital communication device for 5 years. They do that for hackers...
Trump should buy some dial phones, he will need one.
@georgetakei Going to fine the billionaire $5,000. That ought to put the fear of God in him.
@georgetakei 5 grand fine. Pocket lint. Judges don’t know what to do to stop his defiance of their orders. Sad, really.
@georgetakei Judge to T: No takebacks.
