    “Patriotism means to stand by the country, not by the president” Theodore Roosevelt (a Republican)
  • @kilikinatoo
    The fact that people are trying to say his actions should be overlooked or don’t warrant consequences… Just because he’s a presidential candidate… We should be holding him to a higher standard because of it not a lower one.
  • @penguinista
    How does this play out with his other trials, since part of his bail agreement is not to commit crimes?
  • @Me97202
    0:20 BS. Not for “talking.” For threatening people and lying.
  • @boyfrmnewyork
    Make him do "Community Service"... Clean the courthouse including the restrooms...
  • @kkendell954
    Just add it on to his sentence …….lock him up
  • @gregrizzo8054
    Jesse Waters has forgotten that his company paid $850 million dollars settle a lawsuit when they were just talking.
  • @guinsey
    Send the Russian traitors to jail.

    “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” ― Carl Sagan

    Unless the judge has the balls or backbone to actually send Trump to jail, the judge needs to just shut up. Every parent understands this simple rule.
  • Trump will reiterate; and he must be charged with contempt and sentenced to jail time...
  • @ni7299
    Imagine thinking a guy who lost 60 court cases in a row back to back due to a total lack of evidence is going to do for your country what needs to be done.

    It's too bad cameras aren't in the courtroom for all of us to see what's happening.
  • @PatrickinCorpus
    I prefer a president who is not a criminal defendant and one who doesn’t need to claim immunity to avoid prison.
