But he didn't do it, so what does it have to do with what is being discussed?

You seem to be unable to join the dots. 

 

With no disrespect, you seem to have a disassociation issue with this case , perhaps this article may help you!

Already posted a link to it:

 

"The package, which reportedly contained a message that said, "Alvin—I'll kill you," came following a message posted on social media by former President Donald Trump"

Sure, it could have happened.  It could also be a false-flag.  A threat is very different to an actual attack though.

Doesn't take much to trigger anti Trumper's. Trump wasn't holding a baseball bat to Bragg's head it was a Photo. 

its the context, and even if it was not Trump, it is a threat being made.  You must be a MAGA supporter who believes that Trump can do no wrong.

The bat is next to Trump, not Bragg.  It certainly isn't next to Bragg's head.  I'm not sure that there is much more that we can discuss about an image that you are claiming shows something that it does not.

I am sure that you are being willfully disingenuous. Maybe if the photo wasn't in the article you would have a point. But the photo was included in the article. One would have to be either blind or benighted to understand what was meant.

Isn't that why threats are dangerous and illegal? Because it can lead to real world actions. Or should everyone just wait for a real attempt to take place before taking them seriously?

A threat is an act that can be acted upon by others and can be prosecuted, its not like his montage and statements would be considered free speech in the event that he claims that he had no idea someone would take him seriously and harm Bragg.  Just like his rhetoric for the January 6th insurrection his statements caused.

Let me help you connect the dots.

 

If we are discussing what Trump meant in a previous twitter post, the meaning isn't changed by the actions of someone following the post.

 

Someone sending a threat to Bragg doesn't prove the meaning of what Trump posted on twitter.

 

You're basically saying "See?  Someone sent a threat to Bragg.  That means that Trump meant X." when it really doesn't.

If you can't admit what is in the photo.  We cannot discuss the photo.  It's as simple as that, I'm afraid.

An interesting perspective.  I'm not sure that I agree with you.  I don't think what Trump has said in this instance could be classed as being an instruction to attack Bragg.

Possibly.  It's not something I would do or would want to happen to me.  But it's still different from an actual attack.

Your on a totally different plain and train of thought then.  As a DA Investigator I would be collecting evidence for the arraignment and prosecution after I helped in getting the judge to sign a restraining order.  However, maybe that is what Trumps trying to do so the day he does get arrested he can not be in the same room as Bragg.......

Its not about you, its about law and order. Here's another example of why real law works this way, to avoid people being intimidated or worse.

A judge said that they could become victims of “harassment or worse” from supporters of the former president as he faces a lawsuit by the writer E. Jean Carroll.

Desperate attempt to contradict and denying the facts.

No one is denying what's in the photo. It's clearly a montage. And anybody who saw that photo who is visually able and not benighted can clearly see what's what. You would have to work very hard and against common sense to maintain that headline meant that the photo was taken from life. Obviously the montage was created to juxtapose Trump holding a bat with an image of Bragg. You admitted as much when you suggested the motive was to make a joke. What would be funny about it if it wasn't for the fact that the 2 images were juxtaposed? How would it work as a joke if i the bat wasn't next to Bragg in the montage?

Why do you think Trump is holding a bat?

I just wish AG Bragg would concentrate on NYC’s spiralling crime rate, and stop letting criminals our early.  NYC is getting more and more like Chicago and LA in crime.  Showboating doesn’t help NYC.

Wise thing to do. You have done your fair share of defending the indefensible behavior of an incorrigible man. Cringe to think of him as the former President of a great country.

Most entertaining leader of our time.

Keeps going despite being shat upon

constantly.

Biden is pretty funny too

in his own geriatric way.

& Hunter ... 

Perhaps you missed it, but the traitor and incompetent trump inherited 4.8% unemployment and a growing economy from Obama, then left Biden 6.8% UE and a Recession.  trump also added 40% to the total US National Debt in just 4 years. That's $7,800,000,000,000, an astonishing bit of profligacy, befitting a guy who declared 6 bankruptcies even after inheriting $500,000,000 from his father.

 

You call that 'entertaining'.

 

As for the "geriatric", under Biden UE has fallen to a 54 year low of 3.4% and the economy is growing. Biden's deficit for FY2021 was $350 billion below trump's last year in office. Biden's FY2022 deficit was $1.3 trillion lower than trump's last year.

 

Funny is how bad trump was. trump---even before Covid hit---produced the worst economic performance in the US since Herbert Hoover in the 1930s.

[Walker88]

The coming indictment in NYC is a warm-up.

 

The big game will be when trump is indicted for Sedition for his part in 6 January 2021.

 

Sedition is a capital offense, which means it can carry the death penalty. If convicted, trump could get a seat on Sparky, the electric chair, and the fat guy will sizzle like Sunday morning bacon.

 

THAT will live up to the clown's silly slogan.

Personally, I don't believe that Trump is actually going to beat Bragg with a baseball bat if he chooses to charge him.

You are right, he is a coward. He will always use others to do his hitting for him, either by paying them outright or by deluding their weak minds.

Quite the claim. Is it borne from hatred for Trump, or did Trump pre covid really produce the worst economic performance since the great depression nearly 100 years ago? A broad spectrum of economic data would help to back up the unlikely factual claim.

This man is the lowest of the low. There are life forms that live in a pond that are of a higher nature than this hooligan.

 

However, as much bravado as he likes to express, most of us know if it really came down to it, he would wet his pants if faced with any real danger. What does that make him? A coward, an instigator, a trouble maker, a danger, and a half man.
