Reminder—if Trump's indictment was meritless every top criminal defense lawyer in America would be scrambling to defend him. It’d be the case of a lifetime.

But instead they're avoiding him like the plague b/c they know he's guilty & refuse to sink with his ship.

US law holds "when accused of a crime an attorney will be provided if you cannot afford one."

Trump may force a change to, "an attorney will be provided if you cannot afford one OR if you are so unethical no one will take your case."

Roberts isn’t an institutionalist. He’s a weather vane. - Today's Supreme Court 99% Politics, 1% Law, 100% Credibility Shredded. washingtonpost.com/opinions/20 #SupremeCourt

@tultican Advocating the complete abandonment of the Democratic system and principles, better described as Revolution, the bad kind of revolution, where people die. 😬
6Jan was the first taste. We’ll have to see how much traction the losers get. At what point do these advocates for violence face legal jeopardy?

@Huntn00 They are out there supporting political violence as legitimate.

@GatekeepKen NEWSFLASH- Thump is ahead among his Orange Koolaid Drinkers, he appears ahead in the GOP clown show as the The Head Shredder (of democracy), but in a general election he’s way behind. 🤞

However, we should be shaken to the core that this sociopath-miscreant is viewed as a contender for not just any leadership, but the top leadership by some portion of the US populace who want to abandon democracy, thinking in some kind of modern fuedal, fascist system they will end on top. 😶

The media is trying to say that Trump is ahead of Biden in the polls. All of them. Why is this?
It's horse shit and simple math.
Dems haven't left the party, Republicans have and they've died in large numbers due to covid. Independents are leaning left because they see Trumps damage and threat.
Don't fall for the corporate bull shit..

@atomicpoet This morning NPR reported something about a bruhaha where Reddit has decided to charge tech companies to use their platform, they say they will leave, something about volunteer moderators, and a boycott. I don’t use Reddit, stumble across it on occasion during searches, and I don’t care for its format.

I really wish people would stop parroting the whole “Donald Trump’s indictment is unprecedented” discourse as if this happened in isolation. Donald Trump’s law-breaking was recklessly unprecedented; his indictment is a logical consequence of bad behavior.

"The main thing authoritarians have to do ... is change the perception of violence in public," says Ruth Ben-Ghiat. "So what once was reprehensible ... becomes okay and even assaulting the Capitol becomes a patriotic act." #velshi msnbc.com/ali-velshi/watch/-if
