Folks we need to make sure another man like Donald John Trump never even makes it to the elections. We need to deal with what got this man into The US Presidency in the first place. There are marginalized people that have been long ignored by both establishment Republicans and Democrats for decades. The needs of these marginalized people needs to be met to insure that someone like Trump never even gets close to the US Presidency.

Innocent until proven guilty - in a court of law. I was not in a coma while the destruction derby played/plays out. Guilty of the most grevious charges. Jan 6 was not fiction
I never thought or imagined that I'd live to see a day/time such as this‼️ The very fabric of American democracy, the Constitution, all things that made us uniquely respected and even envied by some around the World has come to such a point in time as America is now‼️ We're on the brink of the .... The chickens come home to roost‼️
Stunning - the one-sided (rather-biased) observations and "gang torture of Trump, when most Legal scholars define these charges as a political over-reach. Conversely, Biden's been stealing Classifieds for 20+ years, stashing them in his garage, unprotected and, likely shared with one of his & Hunter's employers: CCP. GET REAL, hicks - you're destroying a Free Society with a public lynching of a political rival...
I believe the evidence is damning and he will be convicted. But I can't shake the possibility that he'll slip out of it somehow. That would be tragic. Overall I believe that the rule of law will be followed and he will be put in jail where he belongs.
What I find absolutely astounding and frightening is the extent to which Republicans are either mute or defensive about the carnage to our democracy caused by Donald Trump.
Widespread racism and white Christian nationalism have replaced their respect / desire for democracy. They have declared that they will not tolerate being in a minority.
Like the voice of a prophet crying in the wilderness, House Rep. Adam Schiff pleaded with the US Senators in the first Impeachment hearings of President Trump. ‘How much more damage can he do? He can do a lot of damage....’
He was not impeached in the First Impeachment hearing.
He was not impeached in the Second Impeachment hearings after the sedition and coup on January 6, 2021.
Now SCIF documents, including nuclear secrets, were found inside his home and pleas for their returned were ignored for over a year.
Even though it seems like it should be a slam dunk case, I have my doubts. A fair trial is a trial which is "conducted fairly, justly, and with procedural regularity by an impartial judge. He will make it a mockery of the Constitution.
Trump's strategy is to shift the public's attention away from his blatantly criminal acts by attacking Biden with outrageous lies. Those with critical thinking skills will immediately dismiss Trump's bluster. But critical thinking skills are in short order among J. Q. public. Biden needs to counter these attacks through Democrats not directly associated with the administration. Newsom's interview with Hannity to see how it's done.
I clearly remember the Nixon days. Like most, I was transfixed watching the wall-to-wall television coverage of Watergate. The president WAS a crook, and collective jaws dropped across the country. At that point, in conjunction with Daniel Ellsberg's release of the Pentagon Papers, the somewhat blissful contentment and complacency of the average American which had existed until - and been heavily reinforced by - World War II died a prolonged and painful death. Until then, my parents' generation trusted our government completely. We learned in school that we were protected absolutely from tyrants by the Constitution and by the character and patriotism of the men who aspired to the Presidency and Congress. Well, so much for that. And yet - and yet - along came Trump, that fatheaded and malicious idiot, who now makes Nixon look like a slightly larcenous nine-year-old who tried to steal a candy bar from a grocery store checkout line and was caught before he could make it to the door. These are days we'll remember - and which hopefully will echo down the ages to come as a cautionary tale about how democracy must be safeguarded and cherished by every generation, lest we be undone by traitors within the gates.
Absolutely agreed! MAJOR difference - Republicans back then had principles and ethics, unlike today. Oh, there are a few, like Mitt Romney, with whom I will never agree politically but to whom I must give total props for his patriotism and courage in speaking out against the lockstep fascist trend of the rest of his party.
I was very young (about 7 or 8)and didn’t understand what was happening during Watergate but my mother made us watch and told us this was history. That’s how I remember it. I just knew that it was important.
it's way past time for the Rich & powerful to be held accountable for their crimes, especially The Orange Antichrist, who, being a lifelong fraud & conman and getting away with many violations of law, thought he could get away with Treason, Insurrection, Lies about the election, and defrauding his gullible low IQ cult members. If the DOJ fails to successfully try and convict this criminal, that will cause more division, civil unrest and violence, as it will show how the Rich & Powerful can get away with anything, and only the poor, middle class & powerless are held accountable.
There are GOP persons who say this will further divide our country. I don’t believe that. In fact, failure to try, and convict Trump, will cause greater unrest and cast our system of justice into greater doubt.
Yet further proof (if any were needed) that our education system, particularly in the middle and high school grades, has been dumbed down to the point that children have been graduating for decades without any understanding whatever of how our democracy works. Apparently my ninth-grade Civics class was the equivalent of a college junior level class today - if, indeed, any such exists. Sad and frightening.
Again, absolutely agreed! One has only to look at, for example, the likes of Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott (among others), who have been working assiduously to dumb down and critically edit their states' education curricula in service of raising generations of underinformed and undereducated "voters". The less you know, the better they like it, especially when it comes to American history and the Constitution.

Hopefully justice will prevail. Everyone I know can't wait until he is gone from the public's eye. Yes, concentrate on 2024! Go Joe!

You are correct David. Thank you !!
Respectfully, he was not "convicted." The "impeachment" is the charge, the accusation.
And like Cassandra, was ignored.
Actually, he WAS impeached in both the first and second impeachment hearings. But he was not CONVICTED by the spineless (R)s in the Senate.
Thank you for your correction!

.... a mockery of the Constitution🎯✔️👍🏿 💯 EXACTLY ‼️
He will try to make it a mockery, but he will not control the courtroom.
🤞

Gavin Newsom is impressive. I'm glad that he is a successful Democrat.

All true, but a huge difference between Watergate and today is that with Watergate, Republicans helped to hold Nixon accountable. Huge difference.
Absolutely agreed! MAJOR difference - Republicans back then had principles and ethics, unlike today.

He raised 87 million in the days following the indictments. As my husband said “How stupid can people be.” My reply “pretty stupid.”
Hard working people handing over not just their dough, but our collective democracy.
Yet further proof (if any were needed) that our education system, particularly in the middle and high school grades, has been dumbed down to the point that children have been graduating for decades without any understanding whatever of how our democracy works. Apparently my ninth-grade Civics class was the equivalent of a college junior level class today - if, indeed, any such exists. Sad and frightening.
Sadly, there are many people who are happy that our educational system does not work well. That's what they want, because it works to their advantage.

So what is this news that his numbers have improved by 8%?
