how about that reporting from The Independent? turns out they were 100% correct. I hate it when someone on the internet is wrong, and that someone is me

IIRC you weren't wrong -- you just urged everyone not to assume they were automatically right. Turns out they were.

Yes, you’ve taught me how to spell “fuuuuuuuuucked” [with 9 “u’s]. Thank you.

The way McCarthy frames this is so dishonest and dangerous. I can’t believe they’re trying to sell it this way. Biden having his political opponent jailed. What a fucking crock of shit. No wonder Republicans are so fucked up when their leadership feeds them these lies.

Doing cartwheels here, or I would be if I wouldn't wake up in the hospital with the doctor looking very grave.

Peeked into Twitter, just briefly, and nobody is indifferent about this. The redhats are having cows.

I might revisit as long as I can hold my breath and point out how many of the "this is like Cuba" people were yelling "lock her up" not long ago.

After a month, we finally got rain, but even better, the Fungus from Yuggoth got indicted. Life is very, very, very sweet.

I came outside this morning to sun and blue skies with white, puffy clouds, after 3-4 days of smoke clouding the air from the Canadian wild fires. I'm in So. CT and can see and smell the smoke. I cannot imagine the people in Canada having to endure this. Sending positive thoughts to all.

On a better note, DONALD J. TRUMP WAS INDICTED BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE!!! I couldn't be happier! Stay tuned because there's lots more to come!

Yeah, Donald Trump does quite resemble a Shoggoth.

That's too flattering a comparison.

🎯 on trump's forehead. I have said that if I, with a high school education and some community college credits, knows that the grand jury handed down the indictment, and that it's not political but the rule of law, how is it possible that Ivy League trained LAWYERS don't? Or any lawyer for that matter? Ladies and gents it is not only impossible but also highly improbable. So sick of the Morons of MAGA. Anyone still supporting trump is anti-American. Americans do not support traitors. Trump will have his day(s) in court. I hope it's televised so everyone can see the evidence for themselves. I read that cameras aren't allowed in Federal court and that a rule(?) would have to be changed to allow the cameras. I don't know any more than that and haven't read more about it yet.

They know. They are just using their education to lie which is shameful but they have little character or responsibility to feel it and do better.

It is shameful. Disgustingly so.

Hi Jeff, I’m walking around as I notice the sun is shining brighter, the coffee tastes better and a large grin as I wait to deal with all my Trumpista friends today. It is a day when I would take the Dom champagne out of the fridge, but the docs say no drinking... so it’s a day to enjoy the best of AZ flower. My oh my, the tears from the Trumpistas will fill my bong today, the grinding of their teeth will serve as a condiment for the shit sandwich they will endure, and the crying of “he’s innocent” will serve as an excellent appetizer for Shabbat dinner tonight with my family. We must remember this is only the first few steps of the victory lap, we must remain committed, confident in the main goal of repelling MAGA, repelling fascism and our goal of preserving and advancing democracy for our country. So let’s celebrate🎊 To all fellow travelers...have a wonderful weekend, come back refreshed to deal with the loonies that will be falling all over themselves defending the indefensible.

I was celebrating until I saw that (so-called) Judge, Aileen Cannon has been assigned to this case....OMG.....that is not good.

Don'tBlameTheDog's avatar

The judge who signed the initial search warrant also appears to have been assigned. Cannon is so out of her league her decisions will, once again, be summarily overturned. IMHO. 🐝

Yes, but she’ll slow down the process and No 2024 is looming.

The glorious part is that no amount of screaming on Twitter will stop the process. The legal wheels are turning, and dipshits like Hawley and Cruz, as they know, might as well try to stop a running freight train.

I'm not worried. The govt lawyers will file a motion. The 11th circuit has been embarrassed enough by her. They'll make her recuse.

HOW did she get this after her other decisions being overturned by a higher court? Some days...1 step Forward And one back and 2 or 3 sideways..

Not only that, but there’s nothing to stop Trump from campaigning and if he were to win, he will be allowed to hold office, even if he is convicted. He might wear an ankle monitor, but there’s nothing to prevent him holding office. So, espionage isn’t a deal breaker? That’s unnerving. Exactly why are we even bothering? Remember him inquiring about POTUS pardoning his own crimes? No you know why.
