DL Open Thread Monday April 3 2023
Only 4 Mass Shooting events so this April with 6 dead. That’s a slow start. The Delaware Sportsman’s Association is plugging away to get that number up.
Delaware joined the deadly tornado club this month. I wonder if there is some connection between all of these deadly storms and climate change? Hmm…? We may never know. Just one of those unfathomable mysteries.
32 dead as tornadoes torment from Arkansas to Delaware
“The transgender movement” is militant and dangerous according to the rightwing hate machine. The GOP and Fox News is ratcheting up the vitriol and prepping for an “end times” battle with militant and dangerous “activists” that only want to be left alone.

Thanks for that link. Now on to the questions of “was it malicious?” Again, doesn’t look good for Fox News.

Is it me or does the ‘gag’ order on trump seem to be, again, made up by the right wing press to start a new propaganda machine about free speech. why would the judge order a gag order knowing its more likely trump will continue to self-incriminate?
Precisely. A gag order, should there be one, would be issued to save Trump from himself. If he keeps his mouth shut, he cannot further incriminate himself.
OTOH, Trump will claim that a gag order violates his constitutional right to freedom of speech, and he will once more incriminate himself.
A gag order would make it more difficult for trump to use each turn of the trial to raise money (to pay his lawyers. et. al.) which has become particularly annoying lately.
An actual gag would make it more difficult for trump to use his mouth.
I see no downside to people giving Trump money. They otherwise would have used it to buy more guns.
I won’t be gagged, but I will most certainly be gagging.
