    @THEMUGG

     Straight from the mouth of Trump, I think he said that almost word for word along with tons of other conspiracy nonsense at his court pulpit the other day. Maybe one day Trump will stop making excuses and insulting the world and try to set an example of leadership and moral character versus the sleazy way he leads now.

    House committee republicans have found little cause for any indictment against Trump in NY. The Jan. 6th committee was a sham, designed to allow only vindictive dems have their say.

    Not sure if Trump can get his bobber wet even in a shower...something about orange oil that causes slickness on a well coated deck...

    COVERS allows u to tell someone they are sexually frustrated so long as ur hands are clean

    @ABooksNightmare

     How many of these have there been and how many do we not know about? Trump is a flooze and this is the time he got caught being sloppy, one has to surmise that when you catch one there are ten you do not.

    I believe McDougal btw...seen many of her interviews and for some bonkers reason she really had it for Trump and her claims feel legit and not biased or purpose based. Trump has been around town for decades he has likely tons more dirty laundry out there and that stuff about Kwame Jackson might be much more toxic than his sleeping around is.

    Oh look - the death threats restarted again yesterday thanks to false MAGA reports about the jury instructions.

    The fascist MAGA domestic terrorism ring has no shame.

    Unfortunately, no reason to believe the death threats will stop. Haven’t heard Trump denounce them either. We all know he won’t - personal responsibility and accountability aren’t exactly his thing.

    To quote Blazing Saddles:

    ”Hey boys, lookie who I got here!”

    It’s a MAGA arguing that the Cheneys are somehow liberals! LOL

    Dick Cheney is a liberal. Liz Cheney is a liberal. Rightttttt … 

    Next you’ll be arguing that the Capitol Police beat themselves up! (Actually, MAGAs do indeed argue that. They now strongly oppose law and order.)

    Why does MAGA want to defund the FBI? Why does MAGA hate law enforcement?

    Shameful that lawless and disorderly republicans defend Trump lies after fair trial.  Blindly following cult leader, they make a mockery of the rule of law.  Trump has a history of attacking justice system to undermine its legitimacy in holding him accountable for breaking laws.   His contempt damaging public trust is reckless and dangerous.  For example, absurdity of promise to pardon capitol rioters if he is re-elected.

    WRONG again. The only incidents was millions pouring into the Trump campaign. Even Silicon Valley threw in 12 million.

"Threats against elections officials in the United States of America is domestic terrorism. Terrorism is defined as a threat or violence for a political outcome. That's what this is," Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes said on Meet the Press. He spoke as part of a panel of four secretaries of state who appeared on the show Sunday. https://apple.news/Ag9fBwVsdTqWRFKTh-GogKw "It strikes me how so much of these tactics to try to delegitimize democracy, attack election officials," said Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson. "It's about instilling fear -- instilling fear into us as professionals, in our local election officials, and instilling fear in voters." "It's really scary when people show up with guns outside your home in the middle of the night and you've got a kid inside you're trying to protect," Benson added. Many of the threats against election officials are due to Trump's false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him. He has repeatedly claimed the election was "rigged," which led many of his supporters to descend on the Capitol in a violent attack on Jan. 6 while Congress was certifying Biden's win. "We said a lot in our darkest moments after the 2020 election, when we were just inundated with lies and misinformation in an effort to overturn a valid and legitimate election, that the truth is on our side and that transparency is our friend," Benson said. Those dark moments have carried forward into 2024. Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold told Rolling Stonein March that she saw a 600 percent increase in threats against her since residents sued the state to block Trump from appearing on the 2024 ballot because he incited an insurrection. The 14th Amendment bars insurrectionists from holding office. Their suit was ultimately rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court.

    its not only going to continue   but from their own big mouths  its going to accelerate
