Interesting way to think about this.

@QasimRashid
I hope judges realize that leniency has no chance of working with Trump. He's shown that he is a habitual and compulsive criminal, so pardoning him or putting him on probation simply leaves him free to follow his compulsive bad and dangerous behavior.

This is unbelievable. Under Georgia state law, the names AND ADDRESSES of the GA grand jury members who indicted Trump and his seditious conspiracy cohorts have been made public. In a hot second that info was posted on a MAGA website.

For years, Red States like mine (Tennessee) have been passing laws designed to prevent people from protesting public figures, corporations, politicians and others tied to offensive views. But the second the shoe is on the other foot ... GUESS WHAT HAPPENS!

I'm sorry dude but going by the data, transphobia seems to actually damage people's brains to the point where they don't think so good no more. These idiots think trans women have an "unfair advantage" in chess https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/international-chess-org-trans-women

Dozens of teachers, students and labor leaders marched to a Miami school district headquarters Wednesday to protest Florida’s new standards for teaching Black history, which have come under intense criticism for what they say about slavery.

This is why I never take my boots off.

PREDICTION: The Sheriff in Fulton County says he will post Trump's mugshot, height and weight just like everyone else arrested there. My prediction is that he will claim the height and weight posted is false designed to make him look shorter and fatter than he claims.

Finally, those 2nd law of thermodynamics arguments will make some sense!

Per WHO, every twelve minutes four people die of acute covid. Three of those deaths are in the United States.

Entering April, for every three covid deaths, U.S. saw another excess death not attributed to covid.

The emergency is over. Covid is not done with us.

To make matters worse, Indiana AG Todd Rokita says he'll keep requesting medical records regarding medical procedures MAGA folks don't like to increase fees for medical providers, according to the WFYI article.

He sent requests to all of Indiana's Planned Parenthood locations asking for gender affirming care info.

Abortion records will be next.

Remember, Trump said he wants to punish women who have had abortions.
