9/ "These are the stakes: dueling visions for America — not Democratic or Republican, with parades and red, white, and blue balloons, but brutal fascism or flawed democracy. The news media needs to stop with the horse-race coverage of this modern-day March on Rome, stop digging incessantly for proof that both sides are guilty of the same sins, and stop thinking that a war for the imperiled survival of the American Experiment is some kind of inexplicable “tribalism.”

#Ramaswamy shows once again he would fail the civics test he wants 18-25 year olds to pass to be allowed to vote.

LMAO -- Ramaswamy says Mike #Pence should've used the opportunity on #Jan6 to unilaterally implement universal single-day voting and voter ID. Beyond parody.

It will illustrate if she's able to be an impartial jurist, or if she'll recuse because she feels like she doesn't need the additional exposure.
nostr:npub1khh4zfl4hpcwwawj0w7qz9sq6a3r2s3yrj4l9wm8gkgwxqppmv3qmylk2m But we already know she's not impartial. She's ALREADY illustrated that several times. I wouldn't wish her on ANY case against Trump or his thugs.

nostr:npub1v2sycpx32th4h4aude3jq4g0kgj0p2t5062059l0fx0vcn8njs8spcmqq5 At this point though he's been found guilty, so is he even a defendant any more?
nostr:npub1s7yr2gas9hwdzjh7cs2rfjphettrwe2u9e8erxd50h6kjx5mnpyq36u8ak Where has he been found guilty? Which trial are you referring to?
nostr:npub1s7yr2gas9hwdzjh7cs2rfjphettrwe2u9e8erxd50h6kjx5mnpyq36u8ak I don’t refer to him as 45. I refer to him as Defendant Trump
Can someone please explain why this bot posted this under my CNN news link? I don’t understand what it is.

Overnight, five more defendants were booked at the #Fulton jail. That leaves two who must surrender by noon today: Trevian Kutti and Stephen Lee #Georgia #TrumpIndictment

The judge: Trump appointee Dabney Friedrich.

How did #Trump and #Giuliani
forge their friendship in the late 1980s? Trump was being investigated for organized crime. He offered Giuliani's campaign two million dollars and then the case against him was dropped.
So, the usual then... Sigh.

This is true, but it is also true that much of Trump's brand is that white men "like him" are being persecuted by black women, and so being arrested by one is a great campaign prop.
Philip Bump:
A good lens into #Trump's approach to politics is that he will turn himself in in #Georgia on Thursday to step on #GOPdebate coverage, believing that turning even negative attention to himself is more useful than letting others have attention at all.
Oh swell.
