So now we are paying public servants to sit in court for #traitor#trump... Their salaries come from our taxes, tell them to get their asses back to #Washington and do their damned jobs instead of supporting their cult leader on our dime!!! #MAGA = #DomesticTerrorists
@levampyre An upside-down American flag is a #symbol connected with false claims that the #2020election was stolen from #DonaldTrump. Individuals who were indicted and convicted for #insurrection on #jan6 used the upside down flag as a symbol of the #MAGA movement - so this is part of the symbolism used in the anti-democracy movement in America.
This is the same Bible that condones slavery.
"Religious traditionalists, particularly those among the Southern Baptist Convention, also opposed the federal government’s support for equality, although they got less press in the early years of that expansion. In their view, the Bible laid out hierarchical social arrangements, especially patriarchy. Government defense of women’s equality was a direct assault on their worldview." https://open.substack.com/pub/heathercoxrichardson/p/may-16-2024?r=63j6s&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email #MAGA#CivilRights#14thAmendment
I'm gonna just say it (and from the perspective of a former trial lawyer with 37 years' experience): the posse of GOP slanderers Trump's bringing with him daily, and Trump's defense's failure to finish cross-examination of Michael Cohen today, are partly because they're hoping some #MAGA idiot will kill Cohen before he's left the stand (because under the Sixth Amendment, no jury is allowed to rely on his testimony until his cross is complete).
Yes, I believe they're that evil. Stochastic terrorism is a tool, not an accident.
Deleting #ClimateChange from #Florida policies by #DeSantis is a weird (some would say: fucking dumbass) move, esp when hurricanes are already treating your state like a little bitch
Cross-examination of #MichaelCohen resumes, an opportunity for the defense to poke holes in his testimony & perhaps trip up or provoke the state’s key witness. The questioning of Cohen, #Trump’s fmr fixer, is the beginning of the end of Trump’s #criminal trial, which began April 15 & might conclude before Memorial Day weekend at this pace.
A man w/a sign reading “GTFO of NYC” on one side & “Bootlickers” on the other was removed by police.
Another man approached Rep #LaurenBoebert & handed her a “Beetlejuice” program, & asked for her to sign it — poking fun at when she was kicked out of the musical for outrageous & disruptive behavior — was blocked by security.
Across the street, someone else could clearly be heard yelling “Matt Gaetz is a pedophile.”
The #Republican bill was designed to divide #Democrats & embarrass #POTUS#Biden, & had no chance of passing the #Senate or becoming #law. But w/so many #Republicans off campus demonstrating their fealty to #Trump, they left open the possibility that the party’s own messaging bill gets defeated. Democratic leaders in the #House had advised their members to vote “no,” calling the measure “another partisan stunt by Extreme #MAGA Republicans who are determined to hurt President Biden politically.”
The #Republicans that showed up to the #TrumpTrial today in Manhattan were lawmakers who are all about disrupting legislative business & have no issue w/embarrassing their own party on the #House floor. It included many #HouseFreedomCaucus members who have frozen the chamber for days on end, most recently voting down their party’s own rules as an act of protest.
What's the difference between an evangelical #Christian conservative and a #MAGA 'Christian' conservative?
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, and a toot can only contain 500 characters, consider the reactions of each after it became public that they secretly paid a sex worker that they did 'business' with. #USpol#TrumpTrial
"Every Awful Thing Trump Has Promised to Do in a Second Term
The former president has pushed a slew of terrifying proposals, both publicly and privately, that he plans to unleash on America should he take down Biden"
5 radical, far-right, compromised, #MAGA justices on the current #SCOTUS are bought & paid for so I have little hope that they will uphold justice in this case as they believe their #DearLeader#trump will be president again this November for the rest of his life..
