Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Violation with zero consequences in 3...2...1...
IMHO, the judge is handling him with kid gloves so that, when he’s sentenced, he will have fewer avenues for an appeal. Because he wasn’t locked up and was given small (for him) fines, he’ll have fewer opportunities to mount miscarriage of justice claims.
Edit: sentenced, not convicted.
There’s always reasons why he gets away with it. Ultimately the reason is, “justice is a joke in this country.”
He's already convicted. This is sentencing.
He isn't convicted of anything. This is a civil trial.
Something like "received a judgement" would be more appropriate.
Correct. Finding of fact says he's guilty.
He was convicted one one charge. This is the trail for all the other charges. This isn't just for sentencing.
Doh. Good catch.
Womp womp. Choke on your own words, you stale Cheeto.
Sadly he'll only end up coughing up a few measly grand instead.
Well, the earth will keep spinning and the rest of us will have to do our best to politically bury this clown.
appeals court lifts gag order
Facepalm
appeals court reinstates gag order
Slow clap
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The one-sentence decision from a four-judge panel came two weeks after an individual appellate judge had put the order on hold while the appeals process played out.
Engoron imposed the initial gag order Oct. 3 after Trump posted a derogatory comment about the judge’s law clerk to social media.
The post, which included a baseless allegation about the clerk’s personal life, came the second day of the trial in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ lawsuit.
The former president, now the front-runner for the Republican 2024 presidential nomination, contends the lawsuit is a political attack by James, a Democrat.
Engoron later fined Trump $15,000 for violating the gag order and expanded it to include his lawyers after they questioned clerk Allison Greenfield’s prominent role on the bench, where she sits alongside the judge, exchanging notes and advising him during testimony.
State lawyers had sought to tie Trump’s comments to an uptick in nasty calls and messages directed at the judge and law clerk.
The original article contains 377 words, the summary contains 163 words. Saved 57%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Good.
The AP reports that the court made a one-line ruling, but didn't quote it for some strange reason.
Because it's 1 "sentence" consisting of 3 paragraphs across 2 pages, and nearly entirely -speak gobblygook, summarized perfectly in the headline"gag order reinstated"
The PDF is out there, I invite you to get any more information from it than what was conveyed by the article.
I'm staying pessimistic about all of the legal cases surrounding Trump because I don't want to get my hopes up, but this is a very good sign. I'm sure they'll continue to let him violate it with a light slap on the wrist at most, but it's a bold move.
I wonder how much ketchup is on the wall at the John Barron residence. For even the most minor of wrist slaps.
Woop the news I'd been hoping for!
