"Big losses for Trump."

“Defendant’s four-year service as Commander in Chief did not bestow on him the divine right of kings to evade the criminal accountability that governs his fellow citizens," writes Judge Chutkan.

This claim of racially motivated #prosecution is absurd. These two #black #Georgia defendants are being prosecuted by a black DA alongside 17 white co-defendants.

Today, at the 4th Saturday of November, #Ukraine 🇺🇦 traditionally commemorates #Holodomor - the largest #genocide of #Ukrainian people in XX century and probably during the entire history.

In 1932-1933, the #criminal #soviet government in their efforts to "build" the "new people"(c), in hatred and fear against healthy and reasonable Ukrainian society and its real and anticipated resistance, with false claims of fight against "saboteurs", bourgeoises, #capitalism, "enemies of the nation" etc., exterminated a few millions of Ukrainians and other people of Ukraine, subjecting them to starvation via artificially organized famine.

This crime has never been punished. The political "grandchildren" of that criminals keep committing crimes against Ukrainians and are ready to extend their geography to any country without strong military force.

"“The #GOP frontrunner is facing four #criminal cases and a civil #fraud trial, but that has not stopped him from laying out his plan for a second term,” said Seth Meyers... “complete his #authoritarian takeover of government and install an #autocracy of cronies and loyalists if he’s elected next year...

and it’s clear he’s got the support of the #Republican party, which has become a movement fundamentally opposed to #democracy "
https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2023/nov/14/late-night-seth-meyers-trump-rallies-fascist-rhetoric

#Trump #USPol #News

Text from article:
“That was supposed to be in honor of veterans? Which veterans were you honoring?” Meyers wondered. “You’re a former gameshow host, you’re not General Hux. Usually veterans want to hear something like we will honor your sacrifice, not ‘we will root out the vermin from within’.”

Jokes aside, “that’s openly fascist rhetoric, and too many Americans have become numb to it because it’s Trump, and he’s a big, sweaty moron who can barely string three words together and sometimes he dances on stage like a guy in locker room who’s trying to towel off his ballsack,” Meyers concluded.

“But Trump is very much planning his authoritarian takeover if he wins in 2024, and it’s clear he’s got the support of the Republican party, which has become a movement fundamentally opposed to democracy.”

Text from article:
Trump’s divisive rhetoric comes as he remains the clear polling leader in the dwindling GOP primary field and as he and his allies have already started to plot ways for the federal government to punish his critics and opponents should he win back the White House next November. The Post recently reported that Trump — who faces 91 charges across four criminal cases — is naming the people he wants to investigate and prosecute, and his associates are drafting plans to potentially invoke the Insurrection Act on his first day in office, which would allow him to deploy the military in response to civil demonstrations.

In addition to attacking the “radical left,” he also spent part of the New Hampshire speech lashing out at a New York judge overseeing his civil fraud case, calling New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) a “disaster” and reiterating his descriptions of Smith as “deranged.” Smith has brought two indictments against Trump: one in a case charging Trump with illegally hoarding classified documents and the other alleging he sought to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power by seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 election, leading to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Just minutes into his sworn testify from the witness stand in the State of New York’s $250 million civil business fraud case against him, Donald Trump attacked the Supreme Court justice presiding over the trial and reportedly made several “non-responsive” and “repetitive” answers, earning him several admonishments and an order for Trump’s attorney to “control” his client.

"A country tt didn't hold accountable its leaders for an outcome like what has played out in the horrific scenes around Gaza would lose its claim to being a genuine #democracy. But #Netanyahu's machine of poisonous political #disinformation is already at work .. No one shld be surprised tt Netanyahu wld resort to the infamous "stab in the back" narrative -- a conspiracy theory also peddled by the Nazis in the 1920s & 30s. How else could the inciter-in-chief explain his #criminal negligence?"

"The top prosecutors in each of the four criminal cases against Trump now require round-the-clock protection—as the New York Times recently reported. This is something you would expect to read about in a case with a terrorist leader or mafia boss, but instead it involves the leading 2024 GOP presidential candidate."

I greatly appreciate New York Attorney General Letitia James, and her staff, doing the very dirty job of prosecuting a family of notorious criminals. This family has cheated, harassed, and stolen from, the people of New York for almost a century! Let the trial starting today be the beginning of a very public and permanent reckoning against the Mango Menace and his truly awful family! I am sick of them and their ugly, greedy, loathsome behavior. I look forward to the day, hopefully soon, that we no longer hear about any of them in the news.

Abdul-Jabbar adds:

And: "One judge rule he committed fraud. Another judge determined he committed rape. Yet, Trump leads in the GOP polls. A grifter and a rapist—that’s who they want to be president. Meanwhile, Republicans are doing their best to shut down the government so millions, including the military—won’t receive their pay."

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar says that after Judge Engoron ruled that Trump is a fraud, he went online to see which major news outlets were covering the story. Almost all were — with the interesting exception of Fox.

Whose headline after the story broke was that Biden had nearly stumbled.

"Just as it’s hard to keep track of the felony charges Trump faces — he’s up to 91 now — the former president is also staring down so many civil lawsuits that you can be forgiven if your first question was, 'Wait, which case is this now?'”

"While the Detroit News reported on it, the fact doesn’t seem to have seeped into any of the coverage from the big agenda setting outlets like Axios, Politico, the Post or the Times. Weird!"

"A lot of coverage noted that Trump’s visit wasn’t really 'at the strike,' as a number of reports had it, but at a non-union auto parts manufacturer, Drake Enterprises. What’s gotten much less attention is that a substantial number of the 'auto workers' and 'union members' in the audience appear to have been phonies produced by the Trump campaign."

Witnesses tampering by prison Inmate # P01135809, the criminal defendant in four felony criminal trials on 91 felony crimes!

The Biggest Criminal in American history.

One question I have about Trump’s overnight attack on General Milley: Is he on the government’s witness list for Trump’s DC trial? He was a key Jan. 6 committee witness who said Trump privately admitted losing the election.

The reason it matters if Milley is a potential trial witness (which Trump would know based on discovery) is the part of his release conditions in which he specifically swore not to tamper with or intimidate witnesses:

‘Woman Life Freedom,’ One Year Later

It has been a year since the women of Iran took to the streets to throw their headscarves into bonfires, while chanting, “Zan Zendegi Azadi” —“Woman Life Freedom.” Their fury was triggered by the killing of a young Kurdish-Iranian woman, Mahsa Jina Amini, who died in the custody of the Morality Police following her arrest for the crime of wearing a “bad hijab.”

It’s so hush-hush that his spox, Steven Cheung, claimed no knowledge of its existence.

“I’ve never heard of a N Flagler office,” Cheung said, when… asked….

But it’s here, across the hall from an #IRS suite w/a door marked “#criminal investigation” & one floor below an outpost for #Trump’s #SecretService detail. 3 sources confirmed the location of the office.

"But, so far, no one has been willing to employ the power of the judicial system to stem the violent incitements and the danger they are to the process of justice and democracy.

That must change. Either there’s rule of law or there isn’t."
