"If he [Trump] were any other person, he would have been sentenced to prison many times over with no real hope of release: Sexual assault. Decades of fraud. Attempted extortation of a foreign leader. Stealing classified documents. Flagrant acceptance of what very much looks like bribes. Attempting to overthrow democracy. Inciting a violent riot that got people killed."

Four years ago today, the U.S. officially became the global epicenter of the Covid pandemic amid Trump's botched response, with more confirmed cases than any other nation.

I guess that's one way of putting "America First."

2/ Via Joy Reid:

This is a BFD. The U.S. always vetoes in Israel’s favor. Biden clearly has had enough of Bibi.

Yeah, Trump now IS a massive national security risk. He is now 'invited' to go seek every foreign despot to contribute to his emergency bond fund

Ah yes, the famously impartial judicial system once again giving a billionaire crook a different set of rules. Do you think they’d let a working class african american dude post a reduced bond? Fuck no! They’d take his house and put him on the street.

Matisyahu interview with the AJC:

“The Jewish people don't really give up. They’re fighters. … a vision of peace, and a vision of hope, and of empathy. I really, truly believe that that is at the core of who we are. And that is what we are actually fighting for.” #Matisyahu #Jewish #Mazeldon

Off the ledge folks. Only the bond amount to appeal is reduced. He still owes the half a billion and it's still accruing daily interest.

Secondly Trump still has to post this $175 million dollar bond. He has 10 days to do so. If he can post the bond in 10 days, this ruling is 'stayed' so delayed for over a year

If Trump has not posted this $175 million dollar bond in 10 days, then Letitia James can collect $458 million dollars

Dinesh says “We should give Hitler a hearing” as some kind of twisted free speech argument. Goes viral, hundreds of thousands of views, hundreds of replies saying “Wow, this Hitler guy DOES seem to have a point.”

If you feel like saying Trump gets away with it every time, you have the full right to say so about this. This is not justice. The rich white dude gets away with less than any other criminal. This is a bad call by the NY Appeals Court

Trump legal maneuvers pulled a rare win for him, but only delay

The #UnitedNations #Security Council on Mon passed its 1st resolution calling for a #Gaza #CeaseFire after 4 failed attempts. The #UnitedStates abstained, allowing it to pass. The resolution, backed by 14 nations including #China & #Russia, demands an immediate cease-fire during the Islamic holy month of #Ramadan & the release of all hostages. 4 previous cease-fire resolutions had failed, including 1 proposed by the #US on Fri.

NBC #meetthepress has an EXPLOSIVE interv with #ronnamcdaniel

She still sides with #Trump, lies on high crime, the high cost of food, but #KristenWelker pushed back that crime in major cites are all down

Translation: Local faculty concerned over RWNJ-biased campus "think tank". Campus admins get pissy because that faculty is not being deferential enough (i.e. kissing ass).

@AlliFlowers Same. He has some good guests but it's really cringey to me when he's on a dead serious subject for 10 minutes and then ends it with something like "as T-Pain said, I don't wanna be a rude dude man." It ruins great points and also great songs.
