One thing I like about Nikki Haley hanging on is she proves that a substantial number of Republicans aren't MAGAs and aren't casting a vote for tRump
@wendy_resists
What a sensitive little weenie, now a self-proclaimed "victim". Murder a couple of people, voluntarily choose to become a RW media darling, and then complain that he can't "live a normal life." There was never anything "normal" about Kyle.

Here is what the crowd looked like after *everybody^ waiting in line outside was inside. About 2:30 pm. Venue capacity: 8,000. Maybe half full. Maybe. Fewer than 3,000 is my guess.

The Bottom Line:
tRump Tweeted over 3,525 times btw Oct 6-J6, occasionally more than 100/day, pushing his Big Lie about fraud and a stolen election. tRump wasn't banned, censored or silenced even once. Twitter was tRump's seditious conspiracy tool of choice.
tRump warns Judge Engoron that “the whole country is watching” so he better “do the right thing”
Surely tRump means follow the law
Right?
Or else what exactly?
Mob boss style stochastic terrorism
Trump says almost every legal expert agrees that his NY fraud trial should be dismissed, but Letitia James is “a racist scoundrel with total power & control over the judge.” He warns Judge Engoron that “the whole country is watching” so he better “do the right thing.”
@joncoopertweets
Confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett were held between October 12, 2020, and October 15, 2020. 3 days. It was "rushed" before the election on Nov. 3. The confirmation of Barrett should set the GOP standard for the timing of Beyer's replacement.🤨
@ThisIsKyleR
Kyle wasn't acquitted. He was found not guilty. It means the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. He may still be sued for wrongful death damages where the burden of proof is negligence; by a preponderance of the evidence.
Hunter Biden didn't orchestrate seditious conspiracy to overturn the will of 81 million Americans to illegally seize power after he lost an election; a conspiracy Lauren Boebert was in the thick of
That was tRump
A criminal against the United States of America

@Olivianuzzi
This is from the Casper Star Tribune, and was taken after everybody waiting outside was inside. It's obvious how that close cropped crowd pic of the floor doesn't really tell the Truth. The usual MAGA propaganda spin on what was a crowd of about 3,000. Venue capacity: 8,000.
@RonFilipkowski
What a hoot
Ivanka/Kushner raked in 640 MILLION DOLLARS "working" in tRump's WH
What were they selling?
Access to tRump
Influence peddling
Bribery
tRump knew all about It
But Eric didn't?🤔🤣
@morethanmySLE
Lindsey Graham is one of the richest Senators, worth over $100 Million. And is on the government dole to boot: "military retirement, Congress pension plan". Most Seniors don't have that kind of wealth. Cutting Social Security will force tens of millions of Seniors into poverty.
Trump says the NY Post is now “radical Left” because they “went bad on Trump,” and they better start being nice to him or they will go out of business.

It's not a complex case
-Were the docs clearly marked classified?
Yes
-Under the Presidential Records Act, did tRump ever have the right to unilaterally declassify them ?
No
-Did tRump ever have the right to take them with him to Mar-a-Lago or elsewhere?
No
Case closed
@RepMTG
Greene's politics entails frequent wild, incendiary and offensive comments, and then basking in the subsequent media attention and fundraising.
Acts of Congress such as policy, legislation, and constituent services are very much secondary.

Rep. Cammack is outraged that Biden’s administration provides pallets of "baby formula" for migrant infants while Americans deal with dire shortages. She appeared on FOXNews with photos. But the products were clearly marked as powdered milk, not formula.
@ACTBrigitte
Hillary didn't steal 15 boxes of classified intel from the WH and squirrel them away at Mar-a-Lago, or orchestrate an illegal coup to overthrow the US Government like tRump did. Or attack the integrity of Our Democracy by lying about a "stolen election". tRump is a criminal.
@RepBrianMast
@JacksonLeeTX18
Unless you are an Extreme MAGA R. Then the law forbidding desecration of Old Gory doesn't apply. Because they, like tRump, think they are above the law.
Apparently Mast was AWOL the day "flag etiquette" was the subject natter.

Election denialism weakens our Democracy and Our Nation. Disregard for the Constitution, be it State or the US, threatens the core of Our Democracy: the integrity of the electoral process itself. Joe Biden is America's President. Katie Hobbs is Arizona's Governor.

@RonnyJacksonTX
Mr. tRump's crimes are UNDENIABLE! He put our national security at risk to enrich his family. He's NEVER seen a bribe he wouldn't take

Month 7 of McCarthy's new House and still no plan to honor their Commitment to America to

Combat crime
Instead: Time spent on politically motivated persecutions: 100%
Time spent working for the American people: 0%
But Rs have no problem with Judge Aileen Cannon overseeing the stolen intel case in Florida, who was appointed by tRump in 2020 and has virtually no trial experience
This is judicial bias in favor of tRump
It’s unethical for her not to recuse
U.S. District Judge Tanya S Chutkan is an Obama appointee. She has sentenced Jan 6th defendants to longer sentences than the government recommended. And now, she is the judge in the case of President Trump’s indictment over J6.
This is not fair to Donald Trump. It’s unethical.
@glennbeck
@RobSchneider
Rob Schneider is willing to lose it all because he doesn't care about Freedom, Democracy and the Rule of Law. The R's are a Party of Far RW White Supremacist Autocratic Christo-fascism. CPAC proved it when tRump shared the stage with Hungary's Orban.
@cnnbrk
As a retired litigation attorney, this is what happens when your client insists that you continue to push lies as part of the "defense"; as in this case the Big Fat Lie that the election was "stolen", that tRump "won by a lot". And your morals, ethics and integrity prevail.

Hahahaha! That means that Kyle-boy has the burden of proving that A) he *isn't* a White Supremacist; and B) Biden said it out of malice as the Truth and not just an opinion.

By the same logic, shouldn't McCarthy reimburse We the Taxpayers for funding *three* border expeditions that produced zero solutions, but plenty of photo-ops? Just for show.

@elonmusk
Cry me a river.
Rittenhouse wasn't found "innocent". He ws found "not guilty". Meaning the prosecution failed to prove him guilty of murder beyond a reasonable doubt. If I were on that jury my verdict would have been gulity of murder.
@RonFilipkowski
Kyle may have been found "not guilty" on a murder charge by lying about self-defense and faking remorse, but he is far from innocent. He killed 2 people. And now basks in the limelight of Far RW MAGA gun culture celebrating senseless gun violence. Disgusting.
@CalltoActivism
As a retired litigation attorney who practiced in Federal court and understands how Rule 53 is supposed to work ( the Master Rule) I am appalled at the mockery of the law Judge Cannon made to protect tRump. Her allegiance to tRump/Federalist Society over ethics is an outrage.

CLAIM: Speaker Pelosi blocked the National Guard on J6.
FALSE: The Speaker of the House does not direct the National Guard. As the Capitol came under attack, she and the Senate Majority leader called for military assistance, including the National Guard.
@MarshaBlackburn
That's a lie. It's not a "gift to the rich". It's loan forgiveness, not a cash handout. $10/20K. Unlike these corrupt wealthy R politicians who pulled down PPE loans that tRump forgave. *That* was a cash handout. Where was the R outrage over that corruption? That is an insult.
@Out5p0ken

There's been a rumor circulating that one big reason that ex-45 hasn't been giving live in-person on-air interviews (you know, on the likes of OANN, FOXNews and Newsmax) is the apparent degree of visible and audible cognitive decline. Well golly jolly Molly, rumor confirmed.😬

Because Pence knew that part of the Plan was to make sure that he was "unavailable" to count the electoral votes. Paving the way for Grassley to step in and do tRump's bidding. I bet that by point as tRump's violent coup was unfolding in real time Pence feared for his life.

Considering that Conway was never qualified to hold that position in the first place, and that this was a product of tRump's corruption, excluding her from "extra unemployment" is justified.

You can't indict Biden for two reasons:
There is no proof of any wrongdoing by President Biden; and
You can't indict a sitting president
An issue we went over and over again about tRump's crimes while he was in the Oval
For those of us who remember the Ohio National Guard shooting and killing 4 and wounding 9 others during a Vietnam War protest, this is disgusting! It spits on their sacrifice.

Weren't Tennesseans "sick and tired" of tRump/Rs "wasteful spending of their hard-earned tax dollars" while they racked up a $7.8 trillion deficit over 4 years; 1/4 of the total? And raised the debt ceiling 3 times? That's worse than anything "Biden and the Democrats" have done.

@wendy_resists
It was more than a "moment of chaos". It was a violent coup led by tRump to overturn an election he knew he lost and overthrow the US Gov't so he could illegally retain power. tRump wasn't acting like the president. Everybody in that room knew what was happening and who caused it
