UPDATE: State bar authorities in California say John #EASTMAN's disbarment proceedings should continue next week even though he's been charged in #Georgia.

He already waived his Fifth Amendment privilege by starting to testify in June, they say. #legal

I will be accused of being alarmist for posting this. I’m just working to keep history from repeating itself.

In retaliation for Zuck trolling Elon on Twitter, Elon should give Zuck a Tesla so when Zuck is out driving in public he is trolled by people for driving a Tesla.

"Why stop at Georgia? The federal indictment sets out conduct in six other states in which Trump and his co-conspirators allegedly sought to overturn the election results. Will he be prosecuted in those states, too? At some point, it becomes unfair — yes, even to Trump — to go state by state."

Unfair? He committed the same crime six different times in six different places. What's next? Leniency for serial killers?

No one is above the law.

Even if they break it a lot.

Perennial dunce MTG exclaims Fani Willis should leave Trump alone.

Instead she should be “going after rapists”

Agreed. BTW: “Judge clarifies: Yes, Trump was found to have raped E. Jean Carroll”

Gotta love those #Bidenomics. More people have jobs, but more people with jobs are homeless because the whores in Washington don't want to do anything about the housing crisis.

By prioritizing donors over voters, Washington politicians are convincing everyone that capitalism cannot work, and I'm not sure we should stop them from destroying capitalism on behalf of their wealthy donors.

Sky-High US Housing Costs Fuel Record Surge in Homelessness

The road to success for Black female lawyers has not been easy, especially as prosecutors.

Of the roughly 2,400 elected prosecutors in the US in 2019, only 45 of them were Black women, less than 2%.

Since then, two Black women have won high profile posts: Fani Willis in Fulton County, Georgia and Letitia James in New York.

They've proven to be two of Donald Trump's nemeses -- and the targets of his attacks.

"This is very newsworthy for #Canadians. Mike Roman, a MAGA Republican, who currently works under former PM Stephen Harper as assistant chairman for the IDU Right-Wing organization was indicted yesterday in Georgia along with Trump and 17 others.

This man assisted #Conservative leader Andrew Scheer in his 2019 campaign."

Police fatally shoot a Denver man. He was holding a marker https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/aug/15/denver-police-shoot-unarmed-man-marker-knife?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Did some digging on the pastor indicted alongside Trump (and 17 others) in Georgia:

He's a former police chaplain and (retired) pastor in the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod denomination, who served as an interim pastor in Illinois until this past weekend. https://religionnews.com/2023/08/15/pastor-indicted-alongside-trump-in-georgia-election-meddling-case/
