Thank you Jeff -I'm incredibly grateful for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. While the indictment now charges some key players in the Trump criminal organization, I have yet to see some elected members of Congress charged as accessories after the fact. The GOP Senators who voted to oppose the electoral college result, and the 147 House members should all be expelled from Congress and barred from any public office.
Me too, I am so proud in this moment to be a GA peach. Been toying with attending the trials. My husband is worried about potential violence but I just--the man tried to steal my voice and my vote. I want to see justice.
That is what I am thinking--it would be difficult for someone to pull any violent shenanigans, but not impossible I would say. This is history in the making though, and you are right, the courtroom is bound to be packed.
Oh, they're not done by a long shot. Hang in there - we can't try everyone all at once. This time, let's get the head, then go after the minions and posers.
yeah, that would require slowhand garland to wake up do his job and appoint a prosecutor to investigate the entire republican party and all of their shenanigans. not happening anytime soon. attention customers- the window for investigations of all the shit the fascists have done is closing.
August 25th is two weeks after my birthday. What a way to celebrate. I know he won't cry on camera but I still hope he does.
I like how he bitches about skating for 2.5 years when the Founders would have strung him up 7th January. He's beaten, raped, and stolen from Americans, sacrificed them by the thousands to COVID, and he still has the gall to not only play the victim, but have zero gratitude for all the easy treatment he's been given.
Dude gave out information on covert US agents and got many killed. Then turns around and says he's doing everything for us.
Fuck right off into your grave, you shitheel septogenarian.
There have been other POS people who have done evil stuff and cost others their lives. But what irks me to no end is the number of people who support this asshole and think that he was the greatest president ever. What the hell US? I once worked with a paranoid schizophrenic, who asked me if he wore a tinfoil hat, whether people could not hear his thoughts. I did tell him it was OK. There is no way to argue with a delusional person. Except that some of these people now are walking amongst us, and more importantly, VOTING!!
It's because he is a religious figure to these people. Some put him up there with Jesus, others hold him in as high a regard as Robert E. Lee. Even more see him as the next Hitler - literally. Some think he is a sort-of crooked pope. Because they BELIEVE in him, whatever that even means, explains how he's been so untouchable.
He's got that "Reality Distortion Field" like Steve Jobs had, only in a bad way.
They started grooming them real early when Donald asked them to pledge allegiance to him no matter what at his early pre-presidential rallies. He gave them permission to be hateful, bigoted and violent and his larvae grew fat in it. He plays to humanity's most base and nasty emotions and fears and validates them. No turning back for a lot of them even should he lose and go to jail. It's both sad and pathetic.
Voting. Driving cars, teaching impressionable children, operating dangerous machinery... The things that keep me up at night! They make the world a more hate filled, dangerous, low brow place. All we can do is sound the alarm and hope people wake up.
I clapped when HRC appeared with Rachel last night. Scared the shit out of the dog, but he'll get over it, unlike the scare all 19 'alleged' GA criminals lead by Fat Fungus 45.
As you stated Jeff, NONE of this had to happen. All he had to do was accept the loss and congratulate the winner, like every outgoing president has done before him. The republican party has also blown it… There was a window of opportunity during the impeachment for them to step away. But they doubled down, and doubled down again, and with each new criminal indictment, they have continued to double down. The window for them to save themselves is now closed.
Their behaviour exposes their guilt and criminal sociopathy. Abusers of power have only two emotional ‘modes’: Abuser and/or Victim. They play act whichever one will succeed in getting them what or who they want to use to satisfy their lust.
Ironically, some of these people were already on his shit list. He threw them under the bus; they are no longer disciples, but they now have to face their crimes FOR him. #sad.
Note to self: Stupidity is a sad thing, makes you do stuff you can go to jail for. Be careful how stupid you allow yourself to become. Reminds me of a great Christine Ohlman song, "Love Makes You Do Stupid Things," in this case it's "Stupid Makes You Do Stupid Things," and they're not entertaining.
And of course they’re already floating ideas like giving the governor pardon power in Georgia... the rules do not apply to them, or rather they will just change the rules to whatever benefits them
Looks like you get your wish for a televised fuckathon with the orange shitgibbon. I still hav mixed feelings about this. As in this entry in Wikipedia 2123...”The United States of America, near the end of its political existence and before splitting into the five separate polities of its current form, nearly was able to confront the impending climate catastrophe in the second and third decades of the 21st century, but a toxic preoccupation with the Trump personality cult consumed all of its attention, as the leading country on the planet obsessed over the legal perils of its cult leader.”
I absolutely agree. My point is simply that televising all these Trump trials takes all of our oxygen. We can walk and chew gum by prosecuting that piece of shit without making him the focus of our national conversation for another bloody two years.
Oh hell yeah. I am certainly capable of masticating my Doublemint while ambling along, but then again, I have a bit more attention span than Joe Blow, who is probably “undecided” over his choice for POTUS. I am cheering every indictment and hoping for a Shawshank ending to this movie.
If we are to have a democracy that can concentrate on anything even remotely progressive, we have the televise these trials. Trump will do what he always does--he will say one thing and act one way in court then go out and rile up and lie to his base at a rally, inciting more violence. When Nixon went into the Watergate hearings, he was at a 70 % approval rating. By the time the hearings were televised the polls were in the toilet--I think like 14 %. Trial transparency did that. Trump blusters at his rallies--he won't be able to do that in court. When people see the evidence many voters on the fence minds will changed--and we NEED that or we will lose, not only the election, but seats in the house and senate due to a sea of misinformation and Hunter Biden redirection. I don't want to hear his name ever again either, can't stand his voice of the mere sight of him, but turning our back and allowing him to frame the courthouse narrative without significant push back is dangerous and at our peril. A Trump win will dismantle the EPA, in fact, all progressive and liberal advocacy will be punished by jail time, count on it. No one will be able to speak up about any policy that doesn't line Rethug pockets. To me televising the trials is another weapon in the dem arsenal against disinformation and is essential to getting the swing vote. MAGA is already lost, but reasonable people can be swayed. Losing just ain't an option if we want to save our republic and be able to pursue a progressive agenda that includes climate change.
I respect the argument. But I have a few problems with the Nixon/Watergate comparison. Nixon wasn’t a cult. Nixon was never tried in court, nor did he appear at Watergate hearings. Trump was impeached twice, with televised hearings, which failed to convict him, but kept his face and his persona in a monopoly of national conversation. It is certainly possible that you are correct that televising a trial will win over low information people. I believe that a winning electoral strategy leaves Trump completely out of the picture, and just concentrates on the agenda.
Problem is Democrats always focus on agenda and yet we still get trounced. We simply do not win on our ideas alone even though they help people, even those who vote against us. If we won strictly on merit alone, we would win handily because the rethugs only have hate, vitriol and outright lies. They should not be able to win at all based on their ideas, so the fault kinda lies a bit with us. They also lie about our agenda, i.e., we want to kill babies at birth as opposed to the idea that abortion is a healthcare and bodily autonomy issue for women. Trump does have a cult following but some have been shaken awake with evidence. They have to get out of his thrall, however, and some might with obvious presented evidence. Video, firsthand accounts, testimony--all are evidence. I just think folks need to see the overwhelming body of evidence firsthand. Jeff is also right that a visual record cannot be disputed and can be put in a historical locker. They can say anything about the proceedings if we don't get to see it. My two cents anyway.
Thank you Jeff -I'm incredibly grateful for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. While the indictment now charges some key players in the Trump criminal organization, I have yet to see some elected members of Congress charged as accessories after the fact. The GOP Senators who voted to oppose the electoral college result, and the 147 House members should all be expelled from Congress and barred from any public office.
the a$$holes who gave TOURS OF THE CAPITOL ON 1/5 need to be indicted asap!!!!
Not to mention all of those treasonous MAGA SOBs who also met at the Willard Hotel on 1/5.
Me too, I am so proud in this moment to be a GA peach. Been toying with attending the trials. My husband is worried about potential violence but I just--the man tried to steal my voice and my vote. I want to see justice.
Do be careful. We need your voice and vote in 2024 and beyond!
Thank you :-)
Security will be intense and probably it will be nearly impossible to find room amid the crowds!
That is what I am thinking--it would be difficult for someone to pull any violent shenanigans, but not impossible I would say. This is history in the making though, and you are right, the courtroom is bound to be packed.
so if you think the rightwingdingdongs might blow up the courthouse would trumptydumpty be in it? along with his band of merry misfits? Hmmmm.
LOL, they probably won't Jihad themselves or their messiah--they'd likely wait till folks were out and about nearby.
If I could, I would certainly attend!
Oh, they're not done by a long shot. Hang in there - we can't try everyone all at once. This time, let's get the head, then go after the minions and posers.
Absolutely on expelling those in congress who aided and abetted the whole fraud.
Now you're talking!
yeah, that would require slowhand garland to wake up do his job and appoint a prosecutor to investigate the entire republican party and all of their shenanigans. not happening anytime soon. attention customers- the window for investigations of all the shit the fascists have done is closing.
That needs to happen.
Yes!
Jeff, we have a problem. I'm a lesbian. But goddamn, I love you. ❤️ lol

The dumbing down of America for fifty years. Again, brought to us by the GOP
And jumpstarted by the likes of Rush Limbaugh.
Among others.
Absolutely
that's what I say, but you can steal my lines anytime.
It's because he is a religious figure to these people. Some put him up there with Jesus, others hold him in as high a regard as Robert E. Lee. Even more see him as the next Hitler - literally. Some think he is a sort-of crooked pope. Because they BELIEVE in him, whatever that even means, explains how he's been so untouchable.

It’s called cult psychology. It’s real.
They started grooming them real early when Donald asked them to pledge allegiance to him no matter what at his early pre-presidential rallies. He gave them permission to be hateful, bigoted and violent and his larvae grew fat in it. He plays to humanity's most base and nasty emotions and fears and validates them. No turning back for a lot of them even should he lose and go to jail. It's both sad and pathetic.
Yeah the thing with Drumpf cultists is that we used to put reality-deniers like that in padded cells. And we stopped. I think I see the problem here.
Voting. Driving cars, teaching impressionable children, operating dangerous machinery... The things that keep me up at night! They make the world a more hate filled, dangerous, low brow place. All we can do is sound the alarm and hope people wake up.
And they can reproduce. Scary.
even scarier that they do--sometimes in record numbers due to religion.
Now that is the scary part.
as elsewhere noted, a certain result of drinking the Kool-Aid and sucking down the bullshit. ewwwe.
I prefer the guillotine.
Loved “legal sargasso of shit,” which is one for the history books!
I even googled 'sargasso' just to make sure I was using it correctly, because, y'know, journalism
😁
Love it!
I clapped when HRC appeared with Rachel last night. Scared the shit out of the dog, but he'll get over it, unlike the scare all 19 'alleged' GA criminals lead by Fat Fungus 45.
As they say Karma ain't a rhymes with witch unless you are. I am so glad Hillary is now getting the recognition she deserved for being right.
She looks great...doesn't she? It STILL pisses me off for what she's always gone through!
I saw it on twitter and immediately turned on MSNBC. Yeah, that was epic.
You outdid yourself in the intro today, Jeff. Respect.
Trump attorneys must be so vexed.
Not once in Fani Willis’s indictment did it mention the word “ASPIRATIONAL”
LOL!!
As you stated Jeff, NONE of this had to happen. All he had to do was accept the loss and congratulate the winner, like every outgoing president has done before him. The republican party has also blown it… There was a window of opportunity during the impeachment for them to step away. But they doubled down, and doubled down again, and with each new criminal indictment, they have continued to double down. The window for them to save themselves is now closed.
Double or nothing and they keep losing.
i would like to see the note he left for biden in the oval office, freedom of information act?
I'm sure Trump didn't write one. his too big of an insolent child to do the appropriate thing
Prob left a supersize hefty-man full diaper in the chair of the Resolute.
I think they looted the place before they left...and I don't mean just military secrets!
Their behaviour exposes their guilt and criminal sociopathy. Abusers of power have only two emotional ‘modes’: Abuser and/or Victim. They play act whichever one will succeed in getting them what or who they want to use to satisfy their lust.
100 percent.

Siding with trump in anything is the ultimate self-own.
I can’t wait to see the mugshot. This made my night
Yaaas, GA don't play--he will be finger printed--and they may ask him to kindly remove that cotton candy like creature from his head before the flash!
That would be very entertaining.
I would probably print that, frame it, and hang it on my wall ... lol
I'd hang it in an outhouse if I had one...
apropos
Isn’t Donny’s latest indictment delicious?
Served up by savvy, black, woman
Fani Willis.
Most satisfying f’king Karma ever!
Oh, I am schadenfreude' n like a mofo--don't play with a Southern Black sistah!
And of course they’re already floating ideas like giving the governor pardon power in Georgia... the rules do not apply to them, or rather they will just change the rules to whatever benefits them
While expecting the rest of us have to follow to the letter. A Black man can't even jay walk without being killed in the streets.
Hey guys, there are 30 unnamed co-conspirators in the 98-page indictment--I speak on it here: https://youtube.com/shorts/mvrbsFzq808?feature=share
thanks for posting that!
:-D thanks to you, Jeff!
Looks like you get your wish for a televised fuckathon with the orange shitgibbon. I still hav mixed feelings about this.

Take comfort that it doesn’t have to be one or the other; we can walk and chew bubblegum. We can save our democracy and work on climate change.
I absolutely agree. My point is simply that televising all these Trump trials takes all of our oxygen. We can walk and chew gum by prosecuting that piece of shit without making him the focus of our national conversation for another bloody two years.
That would be nice. I could live without ever hearing his name again but I do want to hear it when he’s convicted.
Oh hell yeah. I am certainly capable of masticating my Doublemint while ambling along, but then again, I have a bit more attention span than Joe Blow, who is probably “undecided” over his choice for POTUS. I am cheering every indictment and hoping for a Shawshank ending to this movie.
If we think of televising Trump trial as a history lesson in prosecuting criminality for future generations, it feels slightly better
...despite that we’re sick to death of seeing and hearing about the prick

This is all so fucking satisfying. Cheers!
Do we know what the specific crime was that Sporkfoot committed? She requested a pardon but isn't indicted. Could she have flipped? 🤭
I'm gonna bet she did NOT flip because a) she's in love with Trump and b) she's a moron.
I see your point.
hmmmmm
