Jist imagine if NY courts made conditions of Trumps bail,

No direct nor indirect social media, including his own brand Untruth social, and confinement to Trump tower on electronic home monitoring with the exception of scheduled court appearances.

They should have: he is both a flight risk (in the literally sense as he owns a 757 and figuratively since he is friends with dictators of countries which don't extradite) as well as a danger to public safety (Jan 6).
A cell in an abandoned block on Rikers Island would have been better than tRUMP tower: more secure

@thisguy20 I can't believe he was not given a gag order from the start, that was very disappointing, the judge effed up

@SW-User The way I see it, the Judge is giving Trump enough rope to hang himself.
[quote]During Tuesday's arraignment in Manhattan, Acting New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan warned the former president not to make comments or engage in conduct that has the "potential to incite violence, create civil unrest, or jeopardize the safety or well-being of any individuals."[/quote]

We'll see if Trump can keep withing those parameters. If he can, all is well. If he can't, then Trump himself will have proven the need for a gag order.

BTW, be patient. This is just the side show. The main three ring circus will involve attempted election tampering in Georgia, misappropriation of Top Secret documents and obstruction of justice regarding their recovery, and incitement of insurrection.

@ElwoodBlues my thinking is if he had a gag order from the start, that would be real rope, with real gallows, which he'd already have hung himself with by now ... even Roger Stone couldn't shut up with his own gag order

what this judge did instead, to me, seems like a [i]proto[/i]-gag order, wtih no actual consequences
