In re that gag order I find this bit mentioned by the NYT even more telling:
In an unrelated order Tuesday, Justice Merchan issued a stern warning to Mr. Trump’s lawyers as well. He reminded them to behave professionally, or risk being held in contempt.“This court emphasizes that it hopes for and fully expects zealous advocacy from counsel as well as spirited contribution from witnesses and parties alike,” Justice Merchan wrote. “Nonetheless, the court expects that the line between zealous advocacy and willful disregard of its orders will not be crossed.”

This is not how you want to be addressed before the case has even begun.

i'm sympathetic to the idea that truth social is actually worthless and that the 3.5 billion valuation (that i've seen attached to it in various headlines/articles over the last few months) is way too high and is being propped up by professional liars.
Supposedly most of the market was people who were buying DJT in order to short it. But I'm afraid of some sort of The Producers scenario, in which between the would-be short sellers and the true believers who HODL on to stiggit to the libz, somehow leads to TS having enough market value for Trump to realize substantial gains.
(Disclaimer: I have not seen any version of The Producers.)

Not being a US citizen probably makes it easier but after this guy got voted out I decided to excise him from my head, UNLESS something bad is happening to him like being hauled into court. Trump said something bad? Don't click the link - the substance of what he said is irrelevant. He whined about a witch hunt? Who cares. Life's hard enough without some clown (who's completely unaware of your existence) poisoning your precious thoughts.

Same here. Now that MSNBC has retreated to its did-you-HEAR-what-Trump-said mode on its non-Chris Hayes broadcasts it's way easier to tune him out.

Back in SE Pennsylvania again, there are still no (literal) signs of the guy, which is passively reassuring. But I was just driving around the North Carolina research triangle and environs - Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Greensboro, etc. - and I know that area is probably an outlier but I didn't see any signs or stickers there, either. Some Biden, some pro-choice billboards, some lingering Haley yard signs, but no Trump. Probably because this one exception was hogging all the flair:

SE PA update: still no Trump flags, but I've now seen a couple of pickups with big American flags mounted on the back, so I assume they are in the zone.

Like when the Eagles are in the Superbowl
I don't think David Lynch has ever openly supported Trump but he did say something like "Why not just give him a chance? See what he can do." (This when Trump was president.) Which he walked back pretty quickly, as I recall.

I've said this before but I had never seen more Confederate flags in my life in one place than in rural Southwestern Pennsylvania in 2016 or so, more than even in the parts of the South I've traveled (never been to Mississippi or Alabama). And waaaaay more than I've ever seen in Maryland.

I've mentioned in the past that the small town where my mom lives in rural Illinois (1,700 population) has a Trump Store that sells (as far as I can tell from the road, fuck if I'll investigate more closely) flags and stickers and such, in a small strip on the main drag. Whenever I visit I always hope to see it vacant again, but sadly this weekend I saw that it has doubled in size, now taking over an additional storefront. The economy must be booming if there is that much money flowing for Trump merch!
