#Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in connection w/a #HushMoney payment made to a porn star to influence the 2016 election. The case could be in the jury’s hands as early as Wed.
Meanwhile, President #Biden's campaign is holding a news conference outside the courthouse in Manhattan, a guarantee of attention since the media has been stationed here for week.
The speakers have focused not on the #TrumpTrial, but largely on the insurrection by #Trump supporters on #Jan6, 2021, & the threats the Biden campaign argues Trump poses to #democracy & the nation's future.
What the #OhioRepublicans are demanding isn’t “compromise,” but #extortion. Again, there is a clean bill ready to go in the state house, allowing #Biden’s name to be added to the #ballot. It’s a very simple matter to pass that bill, without any additional provisions. #Republicans are simply taking advantage of the situation in order to advance their own interests to the detriment of Ohio #voters.
Ryan Cooper at the American Prospect sums things up bluntly with but fairly:
“Biden makes some timid requests for Israeli forces to cool it a little bit; Netanyahu spits in his face, blows up another hospital, and then demands more free weapons.”
"If Donald Trump were in office today—presiding over full employment at a time when Americans enjoyed more purchasing power than ever before, and inflation was hovering steadily around three percent—he and Republican officeholders across the country would claim credit for building the greatest economy in history. In fact, if Trump defeats Joe Biden in November, they’ll all sing from that hymnal by early 2025."

Whenever I see young #protesters calling #Biden "#GenocideJoe" and threatening to not vote for him, and risking letting #TheOrangeMenace win a second term, and the #DNC Convention to be held in #Chicago, I can't help but see history repeating itself, where young anti-war protesters disrupted the '68 Convention in Chicago to cost #Democrats the election (arguably) and put "#TrickyDick" back in office (after being Ike's #VP for 8 years.) 😞
According to some recent polling, President Joe Biden has lost an extraordinary amount of standing with young and nonwhite voters. Is this because of the president's support of Israel?
