      When and if he’s convicted.

      If the judge goes to far before he’s convicted the right is going to scream about first amendment rights.

      I’m sure they’re already screaming about it tbh. But they’d have more ammunition if the judge limits him before he’s convicted.

        I’m tired of this walking on eggshells bullshit. They can scream whatever they like. It’s the judge’s discretion. Their “ammunition” is useless.

        Trump is a danger on social media. He has used it to get his fans to threaten and attack people and foment insurrection. He needs to be banned from using it before he does it again.

          I do too, but so many R moves are designed to eventually escalate appeals to the cherry picked SCOTUS. Fucking scum, IMO

          But it’s not the judges discretion to violate First Amendment rights.

        They’re going to scream anyway, if they aren’t already. Who gives a shit what they think anymore?

        Well we better not hurt the feelings of the people who are perpetuating all of this, that would be mean.

      Kevin Mitnick was convicted. Trump is not yet convicted.
