I’m sick of hearing about Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek.

Some of you are writers.

Some of you are baseball fans.

There is a Venn diagram somewhere of writers who like baseball.

This is for you.

Bryson Stott, Phillies. With he Pencil Bat. That’s not photoshop. That’s the bat he was using last night.

I can see the email.

“Bail your FAVORITE PRESIDENT out of jail!”

Trump, and his gang of grifters and pickpockets, could produce overwhelming evidence of voter fraud and it wouldn’t make a lick of difference in the criminal case against them. Nor does it matter if they believed their own bullshit. None of that is material to the conspiracy of crimes they’ve been indicted for.

They’re guilty and they have no defense other than obfuscation or misdirection, which may work in public relations but not in court.

Trump hasn’t suffered with his base due to his many indictments, but he hasn’t improved his position either. Worth noting that he lost to Joe Biden by 8M votes and that his position has only weakened. Fewer old white people. More diverse young people. https://apple.news/AYm2ozrZ4T7-h6OpUok-6vg

I can’t believe young people wear crocs.

So fuck you

And your untouchable face

Fuck you

For existing in the first place

And who am I

That I should be vying for your touch

Said who am I

I bet you can't even tell me that much

If Trump were truly being held accountable for his litany of crimes, the indictments would be nearly endless.

Remember back when McConnell excused his unwillingness to impeach Trump by stating that if crimes were committed there were recourses within the criminal justice system.

“We have a criminal justice system in this country. We have civil litigation. And former Presidents are not immune from being held accountable by either one,” McConnell said.

Now, of course, he’s singing a different tune.

nostr:npub1xpcqmx422lf6cm6nzup53vfsfvyz7pjfarwdklj3apxaggjtdqmqg03t05 I argue the fact that he's allowed to run means we're doomed already. The nation is destabilized. The more frequent mass shootings alone are a giant sign that we're done as an empire. We're not ready for the worse things that are coming.

nostr:npub1psxdwsp9xgp7x2s3tef88ek5ywqgjw0ejm38qdrfddk5su5vtwrstnvzw5 Not so sure. It’s unprecedented to be sure, so there are no laws against it yet.

Jesus, could we be pleasantly surprised by a criminal indictment just once? Is that really too much to ask?

Are they releasing the indictment right now? They’re not fucking around.
