usedtobedemgurl's JournalQuestion About Gag Orders
I think I know the answer but thought I would ask. Can a gag order extend beyond a trial? I assume it cannot. I fear for everyone involved whether the diaper don gets off or not but especially if he does not get off. He is going to get someone killed. He is so vindictive. If he somehow wins the election, a lot of people will pay for their lack of loyalty.
If donnie keeps rambling like he has lately....
They may have to change his name to don sequitor! Ba dum dum!
trump Said Not Paying Taxes Made Him Smart
After all of this, I wonder if he still thinks it is smart. 
Question About The Case Against Fani Willis
I just heard, on MSNBC, part of trump’s teams objection is the guy she hired was not experienced enough. I am paraphrasing, that is not the exact wording they used but it seemed like a weird objection to me.
If I understood what they were saying, it means they are objecting to the inexperience. In other words, (and I do not believe Fani would choose someone who is inexperienced on such an important case) trump’s team wants someone who will make a great case against him, instead of who thru are arguing is inept and Trump could possibly get away with his crimes. Am I understanding this stupid premise correctly? Their orange Cheeto gawd doesn’t want a weak case against him. Are they really worshipping someone that stupid? Well obviously they are worshipping the dunce but this is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard.
I know his only tactic is to delay, but to delay at the risk of coming across as the stupidest person on the planet? The argument his team is making is trump is a dumbass who wants these people removed because he wants really good people who will make an even better airtight case against dummy. And his worshippers think he is smart? Rut-roh. Stupidest folks on the planet, if I am understanding the argument correctly.

Am I The Only One Who Hears Rico Law....
And in the back of my mind I hear an alp horn and hear the singing, “Ricola?”
For those who don’t know, Ricola is cough drops that provide “Naturally soothing relief that lasts.” So, I guess that applies to the cough drops and to Rico law. (I hope)
The Alitist Supreme Court
The conservatives on the Supreme Court appear to be bought and paid for. They don’t care about the common good. Much like their political counterparts, pain and suffering is a feature, not a bug. They control us. They should not be referred to as the Supreme Court. They are more like a supreme taco from Taco Bell. In “honor” of Alito, one of the bad apples in the barrel, I call the. Alitist.
Can Anyone Help Me With Stimulus Card
When I did my taxes this year, it asked if I received a $1400 payment. I said no, because I had not. We received a letter stating I had gotten it and now I owe the IRS money.
Neither my partner nor I received the stimulus in the shape of a card or deposit in our bank. We called and the guy was kind of sketchy. We told him I had not received it, so he checked. He came back saying I definitely got one of the payments. I stayed I did not get it, so what can I do. It seemed to me if he could check, he could tell I did not get it. We were told to fill out such and such a form.
Today I got a letter stating I had received the card. We called the bank site so they could issue another one. We have tried every prompt and tried dialing zero but the system either hangs up on us, says I do not have an account or just ends up in a dead end. We cannot seem to get anyone at (I think it was) Meta Bank. No one. Nothing!
So I owe the IRS because of them saying I got money I obviously didn’t. They sent us to the banking site if we had any further questions and there is no way to talk to a person on the site’s phone number.
First of all, I should not owe the IRS, because I did not get the money. Second, I need to somehow get in touch with this bank site but cannot figure out how to do it.
Does anyone have any insight on how I can resolve this? I would be ever so grateful. Thank you.
UPDATE: there is no deposit in my bank records. I will call the IRS tomorrow and have them do a skip trace. This is what they said they will do. I assume they will find out I didn’t get it. If they still insist I did, I assume I will have to provide bank records and get it resolved that way. Thank you for all your support. Sincerely!!
For Those Who Said To Wait To Condemn CNN Until After The Town Hall....
The damage is now done. It is over. There is so much damage, but the one I want to address is to rape survivors, like me. For those of you who may recall, on my old account "demgurl" I wrote about my rape story and addressed it to George Will, who thought rape survivors come forward to get attention and become popular. What a load of excuse my French, bullshit!
Last night, a lot more damage was done than is being talked about. I see Stephanie Miller talking about how Trump joked and mocked rape. Everyone in the audience was howling with laughter.
If Joe Tapioca Pudding wants to know why Carroll did not come forward, it is because of displays such as the one put forth last night.
I did not go to the cops, because I had been drinking, and I did not want to be put on trial in the cop station, in the courtroom and by any friends or family who may "innocently" have the same questions about my past and what I was wearing. I am a survivor advocate. I put it out there that the person does not need to go to the cops, but if they do, I will be with them all the way.
The sad messages I've received would make anyone cringe. The wreckage left after rape is not for the faint of heart.
Last night, it set back survivors by at least 20-30 years. You think the jokes and laughter about one of the more heinous things that can happen to a woman will move people forward? Not a chance.
These thoughts are from someone who was mulling over whether it is a little more ok to bring rape charges after Carroll's verdict. (yes, I know it was civil and not criminal) I wondered if we advanced more than I'd given society credit for. Deplorable just is not a strong enough word for someone who jokes at or laughs about rape. They do not have even a drop of empathy.
While our Democracy was hurt last night, along with many other things, let's not lose sight of what damage was possibly done for accountability last night. If we had protested more, called out CNN more, or just made our thoughts known, maybe CNN would have caved.
For those who said we are Democrats and we should wait and see, have you been watching our recent history? This was bound to happen. I only hoped he would slander Carroll, so another suit could be filed today. We cannot normalize this "man" any more than already has been done.
For me, I am disgusted. Joking about rape is up there with jokes about the Holocaust.
My Great Aunt used to say," Show me your friends and I will tell you what you are." The people laughing at rape jokes are Trump's "friends." Hillary told us what they are. CNN had a duty to stop the damn fool last night. The whole program should have been cut off as soon as he started his shenanigans. Or, they should have pretaped it and decided if the optics would allow them to air it.
Trump, CNN and the town hall folks are a disgrace to this country. I cannot begin to express how traumatized I am at the jokes about rape. It will take a while for me to recover. I imagine it is that way for many other survivors. Before anyone goes on about free speech, that does not apply to yelling "fire" in a crowded theater. Trump is yelling "fire" in a crowded country and a lot of us are being trampled.
TW (Rape). Explanation of No Screaming Or Yelling For Help
With the rape case before the courts right now, the lawyer asked if the survivor yelled for help.
If you know someone who was raped or you were raped, please read the following:
There is something called TI, or Tonic Immobility. This happens a lot in rape cases. Your body has a fight or flight response. If you do neither, your mind takes over and plays dead. This is an involuntary response. It is nothing the survivor can control or even realizes it is happening.
Because rape survivors often do not know about this, they often feel guilty they did not call for help or resist. They cannot explain it to friends, family or cops. They have no idea it even happened to them.
Please know what is going on when you hear survivors did not call out. Please assure yourselves or those who you know went through a trauma.
I sincerely hope few people on this board need this information. It is a horrible thing to go through.
