Trump posts video with an image of a hog-tied Biden, drawing a rebuke from campaign "Trump is regularly inciting political violence and it’s time people take him seriously — just ask the Capitol police officers who were attacked protecting our democracy on January 6," said Michael Tyler, the Biden campaign's communications director. The U.S. Secret Service released a statement saying it "does not confirm or comment on matters of protective intelligence.” (POLITICO)
I might imagine that if you or I, and perhaps any other living American, had posted this image, by now, every one of us would have had a visit fr both the Secret Service and the FBI.
“If Not Now, When…”
In a letter to New York State Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan dated Thursday and acknowledged as received by the court on Friday, prosecutors said that potential trial witnesses and prospective jurors were likely to fear attacks that could extend to their families after Trump on Wednesday blasted Merchan as “biased and conflicted” and took aim at his daughter for a social media post that a court spokesperson said was wrongly attributed to her.
"As a result, this Court should make abundantly clear that the March 26 Order protects family members of the Court, the District Attorney, and all other individuals mentioned in the Order. Furthermore, the Court should warn defendant that his recent conduct is contumacious and direct him to immediately desist," they wrote. (NBC News)
Threats, direct, very deliberate, threats which are dog whistles for harm and violence, even Crime Bosses have been chastised, called out, and ordered to stop their intentional harassment. But once again and again, and again, Trump receives little to no consequence for his words, his deeds, and his actions. Imagine you or I and almost every other American permitted to remain a VERBAL BULLY!
I have grown oh so tired of the double and triple standards, the hypocrisy, and the rampant disregard for law, order, truth, and fairness. But I see very, very, very little in any TRUE effort to inform Trump that he is not above the law.
