We all know he'll violate the order. Whatcha gonna do? BS fines that his PAC will cover? Utterly useless.

[–] Greyghoster@aussie.zone 24 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Maybe he should be held in contempt and slung into jail?

[–] Cruxifux@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Seriously. These gag orders are a fucking joke. Putting peoples lives in danger like that should mean you go directly to jail. And it does for anyone who isn’t rich.

[–] Greyghoster@aussie.zone 4 points 7 months ago

Especially if they are rich as money means a lot less to them. Penalties have to be meaningful.

Doesn't matter, he can get away with murder and the court system will delay his trial and appeals for the next 50 years.

This fucking guy....

I hope he has already specified the punishments fro breaking the gag order. Because he will absolutely need them.
