A political commentator I was watching pointed out that the trial jury won't necessarily get to see all the evidence the grand jury saw, so we need to use caution in counting our chickens...

As an Illinoisan, I want to welcome you all to the absolute party of seeing a politician you despise and have always been sure was breaking the law be indicted. So happy you all could make it.
Of course this wonderful moment in history gets its own thread to commemorate this momentous occasion! my husband is napping so I canβt even talk shit. βΉοΈ Thereβs always you guys and my feral Facebook shitposts, though.Β
I need more Feral FB Shitposts in my life, wanna be friends?Β
Peacock is actually streaming MSNBC tonight. I havenβt noticed this feed on the app before, and itβs been almost 2 years since Iβve seen Chris Hayes π₯°π₯°
I hate to rain on the parade, but I'm also really worried about Alvin Bragg's safety. Who knows what these angry MAGAts are capable of.
My husband said the same thing. Heβs very afraid how ugly this will be in general. He and Alvin were at law school together. He was a year below him but they were in the same Black law student club.

Very cool that your husband knew him! But this is all pretty scary.
I will add the most British thing to say here (directed at Trump): See You Next Tuesday.
LOL. I was just in a conversation with a Brit and Aussie about this word. The Brit was the most uptight about it. I don't use it except in extreme circumstances (this would count, except, no, I will not sully my cunny with that rat bastard) in American company, but it flows freely with my Aussie friends.
Our family has a trip to DC next week and I think visiting the White House and Capitol building will feel a little lighter knowing that accountability train is chugging along π

The media keeps reporting that he'll turn himself in on Tuesday like it's a done deal. However, this is Trump. I would think his base would want him to fight back, and DeSantis already said he won't assist with extradition. So what's to stop Trump from being a big baby and staying put in Mar-a-Lago? I doubt he gives a shit about further charges.

Also DH of course has his monthly standing meeting this afternoon in downtown Manhattan so I hope it doesn't take him a million hours to get home. But so far it doesn't seem chaotic yet. And I say that while living in the MAGAville part of NYC, but it's pretty quiet so far.
