Judge rules 'Trump raped little girls' signs are not obscene and bars government from threatening to pull permits

Source: Law & Crime

Jun 30th, 2026, 5:37 pm


The Trump administration's efforts to pull permits from protesters displaying "8647" flags and signs on National Park Service property near the National Mall hit a judicial wall on Tuesday. The government ordered such flags be taken down in the aftermath of the alleged assassination attempt against President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in late May.

In response to National Park Service officer's commands, a volunteer with the Accountability Now USA plaintiffs complied, and was told that replacing the flag would result in a violation of the group's permit. While the litigation had been filed the month before, the officer's threat prompted an amended complaint later that very same day.

Early this month, U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss, a Barack Obama appointee sitting in Washington, D.C., issued a temporary restraining order in the plaintiff's favor, reasoning that it was "difficult to fathom how" the government "could have concluded that a reasonable observer would view the flag as a true threat." In the middle of the month, Moss doubled down on his earlier findings, extending the original restraining order and enlarging it to cover other flags and signs that display versions of the "8647" message.

Now, for the third time, the judge has sided with the protesters, ruling on a motion for summary judgment and permanently enjoining the government from threatening their permits over the flying of the flags in question or any other signage with "substantially similar" messages.

Go back and read about the things people used to say about Washington and the early Presidents. It was tabloid shit. They would talk about the President's family and his bastard children and say was a drunken lech. If you want to be President, you're going to need a thick skin. People are going to spread all sorts of crazy stories about you, but you need to stay above it all. Of course, as in the case of Thomas Jefferson, most of the rumours were true.

...But even then, one can hardly say that settling disputes by dueling (pistols or swords) was common in the US, let alone in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Nor would a pre-pubescent child partake, ever.

Sorry, this post somehow detoured around my funny bone. I know---"Lighten up, Frances."

What "all sorts of crazy stories"---that, of course, connotes if not denotes untrue, whacko, conjured, and even bizarre lies---might pertain to Trump (the topic)?

Unless you mean the "all sorts of crazy stories" of how he's a good, honest, and decent Christian; a humanitarian; a decorator of exquisite taste; a caretaker of the Treasury; a uniter; a peacemaker. THOSE are for sure crazy stories!

Someone noted that Donald has not sued anyone for saying that he raped a thirteen year old girl.

Trump has sued many, many people for other things.

Fear of discovery?

Or for calling him a pedophile?
