    Nothing will endear himself to the heartland like "Yeah, we're shutting down the NWS. Go out on the porch to see if a tornado is nearby."

    You only get the warning sirens if you have a subscription!

    The problem is most of those rubes won't ever hear anything about this. It would get shut down, and they'd blame Obama or Pelosi.

    "When Philbin warned Clark that there would be riots in every major American city if Trump reversed the outcome of the election, Clark responded, “Well, Pat, that’s what the Insurrection Act is for,” Philbin recalled."

    No seriously. Donald Trump would burn the country down if he thought he could personally gain from it.

    Trump fined a whopping $9,000 for violating the gag order.

    You're assuming he has $9,000 available.

    The judge's order is really well written and explains that his choices are a max fine of $1,000 or 30 days in jail for each violation. There's a section where he discusses the inadequacy of $1,000 fine for some defendants and laments his inability to tailor it. He also makes it clear in the order that jail is very likely if Trump doesn't come to heel on the gag order.

    Judge Merchan has handled the obvious violations of the gag order really well with a defendant who has put him in an incredibly difficult position. Nearly any other defendant would've gotten 30 days in jail, revealing once again that there really are two systems of justice in this country.

    Yes. Even if he put him behind bars for one day, it's what Trump wants.
