@MollyJongFast
A mass psychosis fueled by Facebook, Fox, and OAN.
Remember how people used to say, "I can't understand how those people in 1930s Germany went so crazy and allowed all that bad stuff with the Nazis to happen"?
Nobody's saying that anymore...
@lawofruby
Move up the trial date every time he runs his big fat mouth
Call him into court, read him the riot act, and then move the trial up by 2 weeks. Sanction his lawyers
More noise and threats?
Rinse and repeat, until it's back to January 2nd as DOJ requested, or until he shuts up
@JoyceWhiteVance
Count on the 6-3 majority twisting themselves into knots to decide that the orange criminal stays on the ballot.
"You see, we're all very strict textualists, and the 14th doesn't *mean* what you *think* the words *say it means*. You see, only *we* know what the words mean".
@lawofruby
Anyone else would already be in jail, held for trial
The two-tiered justice system is allowing the orange criminal to operate in a manner no one else would ever be allowed.
@maggieNYT
Yeah, it's harder to get seniors to vote for you when you want to take away their Medicare and Social Security.
You know, *welfare*, as defined by billionaires

So, who decided that "Keg Stand Kavanaugh" should get the special whitewash treatment for his background check/investigation, and who are all the people that went along with it?
@OurShallowState
I'd like the judge to require the orange criminal to stand and address the court and read out loud each tweet, and then explain to the court what he meant and what his purpose was for each one.
@CalltoActivism
If it gets to trial, waiting for the moment when Stormy is on the stand, and the Prosecutor says, “Ms. Clifford, would you point to the man you had sex with, who then paid you $130k to keep quiet”
And Stormy points at the orange criminal and says, “Him”
Courtroom gold…
@JakeSherman
@BizRoundtable
And he was found liable for sexual assault
And his business was convicted of fraud
Oh yeah, and his CFO is in Rikers, for the 2nd time
@MuellerSheWrote
@SenRonJohnson
The Cheese was up to his neck in the "Republican Nationwide Conspiracy to Subvert Democracy", along with Johnson, Roman, Kelly, Morgan and probably others we've never heard of
@imjdsharp
@acnewsitics
Yeah, the orange criminal's trial was biased
First, they got 23 random people for Grand Jury duty to enter a conspiracy and return indictments
Then, they got 12 random people for the Trial Jury, and they conspired to return a unanimous guilty verdict
It's all rigged, right?
@therecount
Make the entire Senate sit there, 24/7, and vote on each promotion, one at a time.
No breaks, no weekends, no holidays, just stay in session and vote on promotions.
See how long before Tuberville's Republican colleagues tell him his protest is over.
@sandibachom
The people in NYC with the *real* money always knew he was a fraud, a huckster, a conman, and a liar.
None of them would ever do business with him, and he was *never* accepted into the true upper class in that city
And that's been a lifelong humiliation for him
@donwinslow
@ChrissyXris
@GovRonDeSantis
And it's a very good bet that the *actual* FL deaths from Covid are higher than what Death Sentence DeSantis is allowing to be reported.
@juliaioffe
Clarence Thomas is the leak at SCOTUS.
And, he and Ginni are part of a Conspiracy to Defraud the US
Who’s going to tell John Roberts that he’s running the most corrupt Court in the history of the country?
@ChrisDJackson
@RonFilipkowski
He's like fat Elvis in Vegas in the 70s.
The act is tired and stale, and he's doing all the same old songs.
All the true believers are there, singing along because they know all the lyrics
But even so, about half of them are leaving early to beat the traffic...
@TheRealHoarse
How about suing Abbott for aiding and abetting his daughter getting an abortion?
What's that you say, she didn't get one? Make her produce her entire medical records to prove that she didn't, and that he's not guilty.
@lawofruby
Yeah, my "estimated value someday in the future" is $100 million because, "based on a planned course of action" I'm going to win the Powerball
See how that works?
Valuations are subjective...
On Earth, the value of something is what someone will pay you for it right now.
God said “I need a man who failed in everything but theft and broken promises to live in a golden palace and convince the poor he serves their needs.” So God made Trump.

An excellent question that has been out there and unanswered for far too long.
Why a hand delivered envelope?

@SenWhitehouse
@FBI
Sen Whitehouse is correct, and has been calling for an investigation into this for some time.
Wray swept it under the run.
SW also wants to know who paid off all of "Keg Stand Kavanaugh's" debts.
@lawofruby
@steve_vladeck
Nothing "baffling" at all about their actions
The Roberts Court is wholly corrupt
Back in December when Jack Smith asked SCOTUS to address "immunity", how many lawyers expected them to deliberately sit on it for 6 months?
However, anyone recognizing their corruption saw it
@antifaoperative
It's rarely the "strange creep hiding in the bushes".
More often, it's someone the child knows, a person in authority of some sort
They want access to children, by becoming clergy, teachers, coaches, LE, counselors, etc
Unsupervised access to children is what they want
@JustinElliott
@js_kaplan
@Amierjeski
Yeah, and Clarence is “incomprehensibly” corrupt
What will John Roberts do about it?
Nothing, because he and the court with his name on it are just as corrupt
@MuellerSheWrote
@maddow
Maddow's show tonight probably sets an all-time record for her show, and the orange criminal knows it.
If CH is going to drop even more facts about his criminal behavior and sexual harassment and hostile work environment behavior, it's likely to get a lot of replay.
@duty2warn
IF it's close, say, 1 or 3 seat majority, wonder if there are any R's in a very close district, who see the demos of that district, and see which way the wind is blowing, and decide, maybe this would be a good time to switch parties.
Longshot? Yes, but not impossible
@MuellerSheWrote
Wish the judge would make him appear in court, and require him to read each and every post, and explain to the court what he meant by them.
Then revoke his bail and jail him for a week.
And then go from there
@kyledcheney
Yeah, yeah, yeah, turn off the water works, Hon...
You knew what you were doing, and you were hanging out with Roger Stone.
You knew you were committing OoJ.
And no remorse for the damage you did to America
You're lucky you only got 15 months.
Should have been 15 years.

@lawofruby
Head on into a courtroom and start acting up.
You'll get a fast education about how the 1A works
It works like this: The judge is in charge; you're not.
@sandibachom
The corrupt Roberts Court *invented* new law to make all his illegal activities *retroactively legal*
If ever there was a SCOTUS that's been bought and paid for, the Roberts Court is it.
@RonFilipkowski
Who wants to tell her the orange criminal only got about 12% of the vote in NYC?
When she gets there, she's going to find out she's not in Gooberville anymore...
@MuellerSheWrote
The governor of legislature attempting to remove a prosecutor that was elected by the people in that district would appear to be disenfranchising those voters
If an elected prosecutor isn't performing as some desire, the remedy is at the ballot box
@MuellerSheWrote
Forbes estimates Trump Tower to be worth $160 million.
However, he owes $100 million on it.
So, after fees and taxes, he might net $50 million
Where’s the rest going to come from, since he’s barred from borrowing from any NYS chartered financial institution?
@Olivia_Beavers
Just in case anyone was confused about who was running their government and who was being represented...

I suspect the brakes get put on the "I'm going to sue all of you" when their lawyers explain to them what the Discovery process involves.

IF you don't understand the characteristics of a debt bubble bursting, you could make the observation that Obama's recovery was slower than you think it should have been.

Cannon has already shown everyone who she is and what she's all about.
Why are so many people expecting her to now, all of a sudden, act in a proper and forthright manner?

How much more do you need to see to reach the conclusion that she's wholly corrupt?
"If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, you better be betting it's a duck"
@shannonrwatts
"She said that neighbors would frequently shoot firearms on weekends and holidays and that the sound of gunshots overnight was normal"
Any Republican legislators in TX want to say that's the environment they want their children to live in?

Put the "Chief Information Officer" under Oath, and ask him about the plan for the device migration.
No competent CIO directs a device change without a written plan, and Step 1 on that plan is:
"Create a *verified* archive of all data and programs on all devices"
@BettyBowers
Has any reporter tracked down his "adopted, not really adopted son", and what his background/family history is?
Has any reporter determined what documentation exists on the issue?
How does a 20-something single man "adopt" a 14-yo boy?
The whole thing seems pretty murky

He'll be fleecing the goobers for "help with the legal fees" to sue the "lying media"

The House needs to invoke its Inherent Powers of Contempt, have the SaA deputize the US Marshals and DC Police.
Arrest them, throw them into the DC lockup, and keep them there til they’re ready to comply.
Don’t need any lawsuits, courts, DOJ, or anyone else.
No half measures!!
@CREWcrew
If he wants $1 Billion to get rid of policies and regulations, how much would you guess he was selling TS nuclear weapons documents for?
How much do you think Putin, Xi, and/or MBS would pay for those items?
@crampell
A serious government wouldn't have an absurdity like "the debt ceiling".
Once the government votes for, and commits to spend money, there's no sanity in saying, "Well, we might not pay for it, and in fact, we might default"
Do away with it!

If you're someone that likes to watch the odometer in your car roll over to a big new round number, the orange dirtbag's debt clock is about to roll over from $465 million to $466 million

Oh yeah, all the restaurants in NYC are empty, and they stopped running the subway and the trains because there weren't any passengers.
The hotels and the airports shut down next week.
Millions and millions...
