Yet Trump wasn’t the target for possible gag orders and McAffee’s zingers, #FaniWillis was.

Via Kyle Griffin:

Judge Scott McAfee had written his order on Willis and Wade early last week, according to NBC News, but because he had been receiving threats, he waited to make it public in order to allow for proper security to be in place for him and his family.

    I’ve said many times that the US is going to need a task force to go after violent MAGAts. Threat actors need to go to prison for a while to put a damper on this. I would say the FBI should do it, but they appear to be so corrupted that it would be a waste of money. Maybe within DHS. Political threats and violence can’t be tolerated. Since everything is monitored these days, I can’t believe it would that hard to track these psychos down.

    She did run her mouth a lot, early on. And she shouldn’t have had an affair with Wade. But the charges looked very much like revenge from Bradley and the defendants.

    @GottaLaff It’s one of the reasons so few conservative GOPers who really hate TFG don’t speak out. Mitt Romney can afford $5K / day for personal security, but most other folks in the US House can’t.

    Hate to say it, but it’ll probably take a prominent judge / lawyer / congressperson / senator to be personally harmed or even murdered in cold blood before at least 1/2 of the US public will be outraged.

    The other 1/2 will probably say, “Let’s finish it. First, let’s kill all the lawyers.” 😱

        @GottaLaff@mastodon.social But that’s what’s precisely WRONG with our country.

        My wife and I are both IL election judges and next Tuesday we want to be focused on who wants to cast their damn vote or register for the first time to exercise their sacred franchise … not worry about what MAGAt skinhead shitbird is gonna threaten us with a gun until we install his Mike Lindell-approved $500 device in the election hall to “prove” our Dominion voting machines are talking to the InterWeb 🤦‍♂️ 🤬
