I keep getting errors when trying to upload photos on the app but I am cracking up at the MSNBC image of the caricature being displayed of Trump and his attorney.
Ugh Trump is talking now and it’s a big campaign speech and I am getting twitchy. MSNBC just cut coverage because they say he’s airing grievances and telling lies.
I just read he could have done all of this via zoom, but chose to do it in person. This motherfucker is using all of this for more donations. I hate him.

I saw at least one person on Twitter mention this yesterday. Did not see it in any news articles though.

I really can’t believe in the face of all this, we are still waving around rigged elections. Dude, you are 75 years old facing prison. Get a damn grip.

Where he looks like the fucking Grinch? Lololol! That artist obviously doesn't think much of him.
Do we know if this would be a judge or a jury trial? I can't even understand how they'd pick a jury who promised to be fair.
Maybe they're aiming for completely apathetic nincompoops who say "all politics is same" and don't vote? But, let's be real, the defense does not want fair. They want the magats, the sycophants.

I think the defendant gets to choose bench vs. jury trial and that hasn't officially happened yet. I don't know what his long game is, but it seems like he's laying the groundwork to claim the judge was prejudiced.
Maybe I'm naive but I do think there are some people out there who could objectively weigh the facts against the law regardless of their political affiliation, like there were in Fulton County. But how you insulate those people from all his nonsense, I don't know. I suspect the trial process will drag out and being sequestered for a long trial would be miserable.

I am grumpy this morning and this is aimed more at the talking heads than anyone in this thread but I am absolutely floored by people who are downplaying this arraignment and the charges. Obviously there are implications for future elections and such, but it feels fundamentally important that there are efforts to have this fucking guy face some consequences for his illegal actions. He’s spent his entire life conducting business as if he was above the law, and regardless of what happens here it feels really critical to the future of this country that prosecutors are willing to go out on a limb to try to get some shred of justice. It will never be enough and maybe it isn’t satisfying to see a bunch of stuff that’s been rehashed for the past 5+ years turn into felony charges but that doesn’t make any of this less worthy of prosecution.
Not to mention as someone who constantly has people opining about my professional choices when they have an incomplete picture or lack relevant expertise, I kind of cringe at all the speculation that the prosecutors are overplaying their hand etc. It is so irritating and feels entirely for sensationalist media headlines and dramatic panel discussions on air.

I fully agree with you!! I finally turned off CNN because I felt so discouraged listening to them talk.

Not that this is in any way a surprise.
Trump’s “campaign has milked the indictment for all the fundraising it can — even sending out a pitch on Tuesday morning that it touted as “the last email before my arrest.” They were also selling a “NOT GUILTY” fake mug shot photo on a T-shirt for $47, though no actual mug shot was taken. The pretend mug shot showed Trump’s height on the lineup as six-foot-five, an extra two inches.”
Do yourself a favor and go find Michael Rappaort’s IG and watch his videos heckling Trump in front of the tower and MTG as she left.
This is very random but the actor Michael Rapport appears to have stolen my video of MTG leaving the Trump court today and then added his own voice to make it sound like he was screaming at her the own whole time.
