1. Right-wing pundits have slammed Trump's indictment as "petty political vengeance," "a travesty," and "a sham."

But what did those same pundits says when a Democrat was charged for very similar conduct?

I did the research and found out.

Follow along if interested.

BREAKING: Tennessee GOP leaders try to EXPEL 3 members of legislature who stood with student demonstrators at the state capitol today asking for gun safety regulations.

Expulsion up for vote, and their member IDs have already been shut off.

Absolutely unconstitutional.

Feel free to leave our beautiful city, Marjorie.

Speaking of Gotham City, you are not the joker, but you are a joke.

@StillIRise1963 @Blanco @No_One I think a lot of us want to so something, but don't know what to do. Talking online gets the word out, which helps, but what can we actually *do*, right here right now, to fight against it? I'm at a loss.

For years the West built Putin up as being a shrewd and cunning former KGB agent. Now his economy is wrecked, his army is in shambles and Finland who is on his doorstep will join NATO tomorrow. Putin failed! #StandWithUkraine️

“If every single one of us objected to the promotion of military personnel whenever we feel passionately or strongly about an issue," Schumer said on the Senate floor, "our military would simply grind to a halt."

BREAKING: Trump has lied about being forced to come to NYC for arrest and arraignment. He was offered the chance to be arraigned over Zoom from Mar-a-Lago and refused.

He’s not a martyr. He’s a con man.

In 2019, trains in the US traveled 777 million train-kilometers and experienced 1,338 derailments.

The same year trains in the EU traveled 4.5 billion train-kilometers and experienced 73 derailments.

Japan: 2 billion train-kilometers and 9 derailments.

If I were the NYT I would simply not publish 46 stories about trump in 4 days and then wonder out loud why he’s still a viable candidate

BREAKING: Trump himself hid documents at Mar-a-Lago, and DOJ has proof, including witness testimony, texts, and video footage.

AFTER getting the grand jury subpoena, Trump went through docs personally — and then they were moved elsewhere at Mar-a-Lago (including his office).

Look at this bullshit from Ted Cruz. Ted is an attorney who graduated from both Princeton University and Harvard Law School. He knows damn well that his claims about the Trump indictment are complete nonsense. Why? Because he hasn't seen the indictment! He doesn't know anything about the charges or underlying evidence! So how can he possibly justify these assertions? Ted is a pandering liar who is intentionally gassing up the ignorant Republican base.

How do prosecutors handle the circumstance of a defendant being prosecuted simultaneously in multiple jurisdictions? Given that this is precisely what Trump will soon be facing, I discuss that topic+others on this weekend’s
