In heaping praise on the rioters, #Trump is shifting blame for his own role in the run-up to the bloody mob #siege & asking voters to absolve hundreds of them — & himself — over the deadliest attack on a seat of American power in 200 yrs.

At the same time, Trump’s allies are installing 2020 #ElectionDeniers to the #RNC, further institutionalizing the #lies that spurred the #violence. That raises red flags about next year, when #Congress will again be called upon to certify the vote.

This Week in 1933

The Nazis opened their first concentration camp, Dachau.

The very first Nazi prisoners were the opposition party leaders that stood in the way of establishing a dictatorship. #Project1933 #Project2025

Much like our long history of not prosecuting NYers named Joshua MacTavish Holland for murder.

"Trump [argued] that the 'long history of not prosecuting' his predecessors demonstrates that the power to do so does not exist."

@Liliki yes or a more Dark Brandon solution. go to SCOTUS, arrest the 6 conservative Justices into solitary confiment, no phone calls, no attorneys until they resign. Go to Senate, ask for 6 new SCOTUS Justices, then return to SCOTUS and ask them to stop this Presidential immunity and he will no longer use that power... Quod Erat Demonstrandum

Can I help you laugh?

#trump will have a massive #tax bill next year to cover the sale of $.5 B in assets this year.

Heritage Foundation says The New Republic, in an article, falsely insinuated that it receives funding and direction from the government of Hungary as it receives no money from governments, but is “especially proud of our relationship with Prime Minister Orbán, whose leadership in Hungary on immigration, family policy, and the importance of the nation-state is a model for conservative governance.”

Anyone who falls back on the normal excuses:

"It's just a metaphor"
"He was only joking"
"He really didn't mean that"
"He was only kidding"
"That's not a dogwhistle"
"He just has no filter"
"That's not what he meant, even though that's what he said"

equals

"I agree with the guy's racist/sexist/violent comments, but he shouldn't be saying that stuff out loud!"

or

"I'm not affected by any of that so it doesn't matter"

EEOC data from 2017/18 shows 75% of people earning >$208K & 71% earning $163K-$207K are men. "There were no states, jobs or industries where women outearned their male counterparts." This pay disclosure requirement was discontinued by Trump in 2019.

I would pay an embarrassing amount of money for an uninterrupted split-screen stream of a repo crew removing the T-R-U-M-P from 721 5th Avenue on one side, and Trump's live reaction on the other

"Trump is a mob boss, and his speech should be viewed in that context. …

Trump is adept at skirting up to the line and allowing others to cross it for him. That is what a mob boss does, and why they had to come up with laws like RICO to sweep in the heads of criminal enterprises and hold them responsible for the actions of others within the organization."

BREAKING: Trump to re-hire Pro-Russian lobbyist and convicted tax cheat and bank fraudster, Paul Manafort.

#antisemitism is in vogue here in the US under the guise of "anti-zionism". Goes to the much older idea that Jews don't belong anywhere and should be thankful for their existence barely being tolerated.

Gardeners too! That is wonderful as gardens are a taste of what I’d think Paradise would be like.
