Ever wonder how the idea got spread that Biden was trying to assassinate when the FBI went to Mar-a-Largo with a search warrant?
On the @nicolesandler show Marcy Wheeler, @emptywheel talked about propaganda & the liar Julie Kelly.
She covered how Julie lies, how it's spread by RWers Mike Cernovich, Jack Posobiec & , & is repeated by Trump.
The MSM covers it, to debunk, but the lie is repeated.
But it's TRUMP who threatens people with violence & they DO IT!

Marcy calls out the liar Julie Kelly, who pushed the idea that Biden was trying to assassinate when the FBI went to Mar-a-Largo with a search warrant.

Do you want to know how much Laffy's story about the move is impacting my life? I'm watching MSNBC on my F-i-Ls MyDish app, and commercials for PODS are showing up! Then I got commercials for The Farmers Dog & a dog that looks like Hammy!

Now I'm getting "Open House Mistakes to Avoid."
What next?

Who organized & spread the "Biden told the FBI to use lethal force on Trump" shit? Because all the RW media spread it & the MSM spent hours debunking it.
All the while ACTUAL TRUE THREATS FROM THE RIGHT TO PEOPLE ON THE LEFT (INCLUDING JUDGES, PROSECUTORS, POLITICIANS & THEIR FAMILIES) IS NOT BEING STOPPED!

People need to be charged, tried & convicted & then the CONVICTIONS PUBLICIZED!

Death threats are not debate.

The trigger for the song was being pissed he had to put up a 10K appearance bond for Arizona's case. But it's necessary because he's a deadbeat.
He hasn't paid the $148 million he owes & for defaming them.
The parody is of the song 16 Tons. Lyrics in ALT
Rudy owes his soul to the Donald store.

For the first time today I added an "altered content" liable to my Youtube video because I used two photos that were generated by AI.

It is a new policy by #YouTube. I've read the guidelines & examples.
Since I'm very interested in #ContentModeration want to now what it means for political speech on YouTube this election?

Lisa Monaco, the Deputy Attorney General, recently said they will charge people for threats of violence via AI.
Thoughts @patrickokeefe ?

Reminder: Trump REFUSED the opportunity to testify in court.
He's STILL under a outside the court.
He knows there are no real consequences for him breaking it. He knows no one will confirm that he directed others to violate his gag order.
He'll complain about being gagged during his rallies, even though he COULD'VE talked in court.

What might change the status quo will be a public announcement of a true threat or seeing physical violence against the judge's daughter or jurors.

The system has failed to hold Trump, his GOP sycophants & MAGA mob accountable for their threats to witnesses, judges, prosecutors & their families.

If the jury finds Trump guilty, I'm worried about the jurors.
SNL satirized Trump mocking a juror's looks. He "joked" how his people will screenshot her face & dox her.
"Her life is over folks. Got to take the kids out of school sweetie."
This is a scarily accurate skit.
We can we do?

@GottaLaff

[Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson) holds a press conference outside of the Manhattan courthouse and identifies a juror. Text from the skit. You see, they do a terrible thing when you testify, which is they write it down and we don't like that. That was a juror. Did you see her face? Everyone just saw her face, and now her life is over, folks. My people are going to screenshot her face and dox her to hell. We love to dox. Got to pull the kids out of school, sweetie. [ Laughter ] pull the kids out of school. They call her juror 9. But to me she's like a 6 maybe.

Qs for sports people.
Why is spiking the #football after a touchdown frowned upon?

What's the equivalent in #baseball after a home run? Is it frowned upon?

NFL had fines & penalties against big endzone celebrations, why?

Do fines for unsportsmanlike conduct work?

How should winners deal with #SoreLosers?

Do fans STOP supporting a player or team if they are a sore loser? Or do they admire them for never accepting defeat?

What should winners do if opponents refuse to accept they lost?

The crew for Young Frankenstein kept laughing and spoiling the take when they were filming. So they got everyone white handkerchiefs to stuff in their mouths any time they felt like laughing. Mel Brooks said he knew he had a hit when he would turn around and everyone had a handkerchief in their mouth.

Tuberville is a bad co-conspirator.

Here is Trump this morning calling them his surrogates. Then Mike Johnson helping Trump violate his by attacking the Judge's daughter @JustJen @GottaLaff @atrupar

Mr. Trump are you directing surrogates to speak on your behalf? Mr. Trump will you testify? I do have a lot of surrogates and they are speaking very beautifully and they come all from from all over Washington and they're highly respected and they think this is the greatest scam they've ever seen and some are Democrats they're very embarrassed by what's going on. Then Mike Johnson And meanwhile along the uh among the atrocities here the judge's own daughter is making millions of dollars doing online fundraising for Democrats.

This morning Trump was asked about his surrogates,
"I do have a lot of surrogates and they are speaking very beautifully and they come all from from all over Washington and they're highly respected and they think this is the greatest scam they've ever seen and some are Democrats they're very embarrassed by what's going on."

Later talked about Judge Merchan's daughter.

Johnson is a lawyer & Speaker of the House. He knows exactly what he is doing.

@GreenFire Great point! "I suppose that they are counting on the Speech and Debate Clause to protect them from contempt of court charges,"
Exactly. Johnson is a lawyer. All would have consulted with counsel on this issue. They know how to "walk the line" & how to challenge objections to what they said, "They're trying to silences ME TOO!"
Remember, this is not just about winning in the "court of law" this is about winning with social media, RW media & MSM to send out a message
