sledging not allowed.....

Former US President Donald Trump will not be allowed to criticize the special counsel, the court, or any of their staff members or families, Judge Tanya Chutkan announced on Monday. The gag order also applies to any witnesses and the substance of their testimony.

Chutkan stopped short of banning Trump from criticizing the US Department of Justice, President Joe Biden, or the fact that the trial is taking place in the District of Columbia, over 90% of which voted for the Democrats in 2020.

“This is not about whether or not I like the language Mr. Trump uses. This is about language that presents a danger to the administration of justice,” Chutkan said, justifying the ruling which granted the government a partial gag order.

Trump can assert his belief that the prosecution is politically motivated, but can’t engage in “smear campaigns” against participants in the case, Chutkan reportedly said.

Special counsel Jack Smith sought to silence the 45th president, arguing that his public remarks intimidated witnesses and threatened the safety of the prosecutorial staff. Chutkan agreed that Trump will not be allowed to call prosecutors “deranged” or “thugs,” or “vilify or incite violence against public officials.”

Trump is being tried on federal conspiracy charges, related to his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election. The 45th president has argued that the case is politically motivated and designed to remove him from running in 2024, and that a gag order would violate his First Amendment rights to freedom of expression.

“A Leaking, Crooked and Deranged Prosecutor, Jack Smith, who has a terrible record of failure, is asking a highly partisan Obama appointed Judge, Tanya Chutkan… to silence me,” Trump posted on Monday morning on his own platform, Truth Social.

He accused Smith and Chutkan of wanting “to cheat and interfere” in the 2024 presidential and of “destroying our Country” with “strictly Banana Republic kind of stuff.”

“Let's see what happens on Monday in Judge Chutkan's courtroom. Will America survive, or not?”he concluded.

Trump is the first-ever US president to face a federal indictment. He is also being sued in New York, by both the city and the state. He has dismissed all of the charges against him as a politically motivated “witch hunt” designed to sabotage his 2024 chances, given that he is the leading contender for the Republican presidential nomination.

Earlier this month, a New York judge also issued a gag order against “personal attacks on members of my court staff,” after Trump criticized one of the people involved over her alleged relationship with a top Democrat.

They’re all crooks……

(A RE-POST FROM 20 JUNE 2022)

Often I hear from someone decent say that Donald trump was and is a crook… I say nothing: of course Biden is made of angelic dust.

My sarcasm about the US presidents since the assassination of JFK has found no bound. I hate sarcasm. It’s a low form of loathing with a smirk. But the US presidents demand no less than a bucket of sarcastic shit on their head, including Carter who had the vilest advisor on his side, Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzeziński…

Take Bush Senior for example. The USSR self-immolated in front of him after having made a deal with Reagan — another deceitful moron in the “contra-affair" and who made bad Russian jokes behind Gorbachev’s back.

Bush Senior could not tell Gorbachev that the agreement about NATO not moving east was a lot of codswallop, could he? That would have been an instant mega-foul, leading to a few atom bombs falling on the Pentagon. Deceit is tortuous and demand non-genuine pat on the back of the vanquished adversary, with some clever patience, as the war stick is passed to the next president — while fiddling in the Middle East to control the oil flow. “Saddam, you can invade Kuwait, but then you cannot.”

As mentioned, the aim of the greater game is to destroy Russia (and China), but Russia still had a few bastions on the chess board, despite having willingly self-declared that Russia had lost the game.

The US president had to minimise chest-beating, in order to appear magnanimous in cold war victory, and not be vengeful (yet), knowing well that even disbanded, the USSR could still sting the Western world with nukes, should this “democratically fascist” part of the planet do a wrong move. Meanwhile the US financiers, helped by the CIA, were getting in on the raping of the Russian carcass, by handing Yeltsin, the brothel manager, cash up-front under the table.

So the next murderous president, Bill Clinton, like the debonair cock-sucked moron he is, went and destroyed Yugoslavia under false pretences. The US are very clever at creating falsehoods about their intent. The Western media bought the line that Kosovo had to be saved and that Belgrade had to be bombed ASAP. This had nothing to do with protecting a few muslims in Yugoslavia but in bringing down the walls and filling in the moats around Russia. Then, Billy Clintonus the Turd (or first, who knows) decided as planned since the invention of NATO to push eastwards while no-one was paying attention and when Russia was in disarray, as Yeltsin was counting his fingers.

In the same breath, Clitoniatus released the US banks from the restraint of being responsible gamblers on the world derivative market. The inverted dollar pyramid grew at a speed of light, robbing all the countries of their hard-earned cash. By the end of his tenure, having had his cock sucked many times, the Clintonator passed the war stick to young stupid George W Bush, who straight away got a 9/11 situation (like a “2019” in Monsters inc) on his hands — a convenient excuse to go and invade Afghanistan and then go and bash the shit out of Iraq’s Saddam, all by telling porkies that the English speaking media bought and licked like ice-cream. Few outlets apologised….

All this war on Saddam and Afghanistan was part of the conquest of the “RIMLAND” that borders Russia and its friends including Iran, a country that had been a naughty boy for throwing out the US chosen despot, the Shah famously marrying Princess Farah Diba who had been living in poverty in Paris, since the Arab republicans had taken over Iran.

In all these manipulations, one must be careful as a US president not to start WW3. It’s so easy…. So one has to destroy countries one at a time, according to a schedule planner that involved Admiral Cebrowski and Cheney (father of of that traitor dickhead Liz).

And the fucking American public reelected little Bushit to the job of fucking up the world some more… Yeepee!!!

By the end of his tenure, Bushit Junior should have ended up in prison for waging an illegal war with his mates, Blair the Weasel and John Howard Crappo.

So the fickle public of Americana voted for a sea change: OBAMA… HOPE and vague became the ideal driving this fake peaceful democrat. He’d been lucky he’d been born in Hawaii, just a couple of years after these islands had been declared the 51st State of the Union.

Being “blackish” due to his mum being white, did not help him understand the racial tensions of Yamerika, nor of the importance of the drum of peace. Well, I mean here that Obama discovered that it’s less taxing on the US troops to bomb other countries from 20,000 feet with drones. Seven countries in five years sounds like a tourist brochure.

In Libya, the best country in Africa then, Gaddafi had made noises about buying and selling stuff in his own currency — away from the US dollar. Sacrilegious! Another set of false excuses were devised for NATO to bomb the shit out of Libya in 2011, and since that day, Libya has been living in the stone and gun powder age.

All through the lives of the Presidents, the Western media have been more than compliant to the false narratives, writing some real doozies that would have put the disinformation unit at the CIA to shame.

But life goes on in the long game of destroying Russia (since 1917-1919)… There was the Georgia episode, the Chechen episode and a few more nefarious US inspired events in the mix. One where Russia said enough is enough, has been Syria. The US had sponsored some nasty Arab Muslims to destroy the Assad “regime” but these nasty characters started to believe in their own destiny, like bad genies out of the bottle. So the US had to let us know how bad Daesh was, without telling us the US had invented the caper. The Russians came in clinically with some newly developed expertise that surprised the West. Hum.

Meanwhile Afghanistan, corrupt, drugged and doing well with the US occupation, was not doing well. The Taliban was holding back patiently, raising kids born under US occupation to hate US guts.

Trump the dork came to be elected. Phew. Gus says phew because had the other Clintonyte be elected, the world would have blown up within five minutes. Who knows… Clinton Hillarious was more devious than her sucked-cocked husband and this is hard to beat.

Trump decided to pack up the US military toys and bring soldiers back home, while reinforcing the need of Yamericka making stuff rather than buying cheap from China. This of course was part of the second prong against the HEARTLAND: annoy the Chinese to make them loose their footing, become aggressive — and prepare for war in the proximity facing 120 US bases, including Taiwan.

Meanwhile, Trump faked a withdrawal of US troops from Syria, while planning getting out of Afghanistan in order to prepare the next sting. Here many pundit in the media deplored the way Trump negotiated with the Taliban that only represented 15 per cent of the Afghanis, but about 90 per cent of the nasty warriors.

By the time Trump got booted out unceremoniously (due mostly to his Covid “mismanagement” — question: was Covid designed to get rid of Trump?) and replaced by crooked Joe, the US hegemony was going to put back on track.

At all times, during all the US presidencies since Billy Clintonian, Ukraine was being groomed to become a prick in the Russian bear hide. The game of destroying Russia and China was being played around the clock — while avoiding a front-on conflict, which could have been disastrous for god-blessed America.

Once again, we know all the US machinations, including Madam Cookie Nuland and her husband of the nefarious PNAC (The Project for the New American Century) or whatever. Joe Biden was on the take as well, in Ukraine and in China, through his son, Hunter.

By the beginning of this year, it became obvious to Putin — a short little guy who understand the world in eight languages and six dialects, that the USA were playing a MORE crooked game. The warmongers in Washington were using Biden’s teleprompter to make him go to war, without going to war. That is to say, push all the stops of Ukraine’s little dictator to annoy Russia beyond the ever mentioned RED LINES.

We know the rest. Zelenskyyy-y is getting his arse whipped by Russia, but he can’t stop because the game is not about him, but about weakening Russia UNTIL IT IS DESTROYED.

There again, we guess that Russia is not too worried… The sanctions imposed upon its economy, only reinforced its desire to become more self-sufficient. The more Russia becomes self-sufficient, the more the US hates Russia.

Meanwhile, Europe has TOTALLY lost the plot. It has not understood the US game and has been used by Washington as a foil to carry the can… First all the refugees from Africa, then the refugees from Ukraine and now having to sustain energy loses and inflation becoming higher than Mount Everest.

So, where to from here? The US want the “war” in Ukraine to continue to the last Ukrainian — or until Russia tires of invading which it won’t. The war is already lost for Zelenskyyy-y, but he is not a clever man, despite being a shithead. He bombasts about regaining lost territories while these are already well and truly in RUSSIAN HANDS and not going back. More kids will die at the front. Soon, instead of guns and ammos, the Ukrainian military will have to send nappies to the receding front.

And the US Democrats still plan to present senile Biden to the next elections…. Let’s hope the moron does not fall asleep and hit the red button while thinking it’s the snooze on his deranged alarm clock.
