At Trump's arraignment, one of his lawyers decided to wallow in the Trump muck and echo Trump's ridiculous propaganda. Ethics violation?

"After yesterday’s arraignment on charges that he conspired to defraud the United States, conspired and attempted to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspired to overturn Americans’ constitutionally protected right to vote, Donald Trump today flouted the judge’s warning not to try to influence jurors. He posted on social media: 'IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!'”

"Prosecutors from the office of Special Counsel Jack Smith tonight alerted the court to Trump’s threat when they asked the court for a protective order to stop him from publishing information about the materials they are about to deliver to his lawyers. They expressed concern that publishing personal information 'could have a harmful chilling effect on witnesses' or taint the jury pool by telling potential jurors too much before the trial."

I‘m watching Gardener’s World. (BBC) and they featured a garden based food coop and I had a vision of Station 11 (post apocalyptic story Max), a simpler time in my imagination when people work together in small groups for the common good. It was appealing and strange that it would take a post armageddon scenario or colonizing another planet, to possibly see that. The planet scenario would likely be high tech, but who know? 🤔
@skykiss While I whole heartedly agree with the sentiment directed at #TheHeadLiar, I hesitate to use an overused phrase by the Right to mislead the weak minded among them, during their upside down, Koolaid binging, group hallucinations.🤔

I'm definitely not a lawyer but I worry that every ruling from the judge opens up a potential delay or even worse might get the case up to the SCOTUS before we've had a chance to reform it.
@GreenFire @Huntn00 Excellent graphic. It really drives the point home that there’s way too much dirty money in our politics here in the US.
@GreenFire @Huntn00 (btw, "Fossil Fools," perfect 😂🤣)
@Huntn00
The last more than a few years have been a real wake up call towards alerting us to what some Americans think about our democratic republic form of government for sure.
I don't think that there's anything ethical or good for democracy that we can do about the anti-democratic Americans themselves. Hopefully, enough of them on the left side of the aisle are now going to get more involved in government and elections so that we can get and keep them out of power otherwise idk.
@GreenFire A combination of rationalizing, denial, and ignorance. A common problem for lay people is who they chose to vest their trust in, and commonly that trust goes to the source that resonates with their wishful thinking, prejudices, and perceived self interest.
