@RonFilipkowski Bannon is just remembering Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. Trump said how great it was to only have a few dozen dead, lauded his relief effort, threw some rolls of paper towels in a photo op, and went home. The actual death toll was 3 thousand.

@seanspicer Lol. Yes, Judge Merchan made $35 in donations. Justice Thomas, on the other hand, got loan forgiveness of more than $200k, free trips, and other goodies before making decisions affecting his benefactors.

@smerconish @eliehonig If Jack Smith held off on Trump's prosecution so as to not have an impact on the election, that too would be political. Trump deserves the presumption of innocence but what he is accused of in the federal cases is so significant, we need verdicts before people vote.
