Yeah, let me guess, the convicted felon also thinks he shouldn't be punished. If there is someone's opinion that is less valuable on this topic, I don't know who it might be. He literally wants to protect his cronies from prosecution so they cam protect him. Blatant public corruption on a scale rarely seen in this country. Dare I say Putinesque? Yeah, that's pretty apropos.

MODERATORS
The Second Amendment fans who say that their guns are to defend the other rights will actually do nothing about this clear and present danger to the First Amendment.
will actually do nothing
Even worse, they're cheering it on.
Blatant fascism from the GOP nominee? Who would have guessed?
Yes, Trump is a problem. But the problem runs deeper.
If not Trump, another useful idiot.
Useful-er probably. If they can get the votes.
Here's to hoping the bag of rats eats itself long enough for the Republican party to split.
Donald Trump accuses Supreme Court justices of bias in 1st direct attack as president
'Not fair': Trump rages over Supreme Court decisions involving his financial records
Following Supreme Court Rulings, Trump Attacks the Independence of the Judiciary
I could go on, but I think that the point has been made.

Thank you for this 🙂
Convicted Felon argues against the Bill of Rights.
Felon Says People Who Criticize Supreme Court Justices Should Be Jailed
FTFY
and nearly the next post sorted by new:
Trump Faces Renewed Scrutiny Over Allegations of Raping a 13-Year-Old Girl
Felon-Running-For-President Who Promised To Be A Dictator Wants Your First Amendment Right Violated
Even better headline.
The media is complicit.
I knew before I even clicked the topic that it would be pointless to get excited over the idea of poinhing this out.
You're the only human commenter, and thats the comment. It's such obvious bullshit that I KNEW someone was going to beat me to it.
Sweaty and gross and nervous.
Off-putting face.
Eeeeew!
looks plumb greasy
Dude went from Fritos original to Chili cheese flavor.
Of course any Magoo will just defend this as "ThAtS nOt WhAt He MeAnT! He SaId It'S aBoUt InFlUeNcInG tHeM!"
To be honest I kinda hope they do take that defense. Could be a nice time to bring up all the ~~bribes~~ gifts to conservative SCOTUS "justices."
The scary part is not that this idiot says these things
The scary part is that he has a well funded following
Drump is only part of the problem
The other part of the problem are the millionaire and billionaire backers that keep this circus of the insane moving.
The scary part is that he has enough extremist followers in law enforcement & sitting judges that it is possible they'd claim an interpretation of the law in someway where it actually happens.
Alito is a rancid cyst on American democracy. Jail me, clown.
While I explain to family for the thousandth time Facebook fact checks, even if biased, aren't a first amendment issue ..
Truly the avatar of free speech right there.
Next, people that criticise him
Pretty sure he already said that
The supreme court are an bunch of hacks! Come get me.
Boofer and Corrupt Clarence are both rapists. See you in jail, my friend.
I'ma learn law while behind bars and appeal to the Supreme Court myself. Then when I make my argument in front of them I'm just going to cuss those assholes out.
I don’t think Supreme Court works that way not sure you’d get to be there let alone talk.
If I'm representing myself, who else would be there?
tell him to stop putting clowns in judicial robes and we might respect them more
The Supreme Court is no longer part of the checks and balances it is supposed to be. It is now controlled by MAGA. Along with half of Congress. So that only leaves the White House now.
as of August 2024, 55% of Americans actively disapprove. of the Supreme Court enough to voice their criticism on a poll.

We should run this by each of them and ask what they think, then remove any who agree
Freeze Peach!!!
And I say they should be praised!
Why stop at the supreme Court. Maybe all judges should have this "protection".
Oh wait but then Donnie would be in jail.
Just be honest Don. You want to jail anyone who disagrees with you.
Oh joy lese majeste laws
