Trump has been charged by the Department of Justice with the following four counts:
-
A conspiracy to defraud the United States “by using dishonesty, fraud and deceit to obstruct the nation’s process of collecting, counting, and certifying the results of the presidential election,” according to the special counsel’s office.
-
A conspiracy to impede the Jan. 6 congressional proceeding at which the collected results of the presidential election are counted and certified.
-
A conspiracy against the right to vote and to have that vote counted.
-
Obstruction of, and attempt to obstruct and impede, the certification of the electoral vote.
In criminally charging former president Donald Trump for his efforts to reverse his 2020 election loss, federal prosecutors allege that Trump enlisted six co-conspirators to “assist him in his criminal efforts to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election and retain power.”

He just needs to be thrown in prison and left to rot at this point. Can’t believe he is still out and in public let alone running a campaign…
It’s worse than that. New NYT poll has Trump and Biden neck and neck right now. The right is so drunk on it’s own farts that nothing has changed. And honestly nothing will change their minds at this point. They like and believe the reality he sells, regardless of it’s basis in facts or laws.
Check that poll though. It’s all manufactured to generate clicks.
They over sampled Republicans and it was land line based.
Boomers far as the eye can see.
The only people who have landlines anymore are old boomers and people who need a landline for WFH jobs and they probably don’t even answer it. I know I didn’t when I had a landline specifically for work.
Decades of pervasive propaganda across multiple mediums, coupled with a systematic assault on public education and the very concept of critical thinking. The most noteworthy propagandists masquerade smugly under banners like “conspiracy theorist” or “patriot” rather than “liar” or “fascist.” They transformed the human-shaped turd Donald Trump into a folk hero, and they’re successfully pitching ordinary center-right statesman Joe Biden as a radical leftist.
I wonder if Donald Trump has ever washed a dish in his life. Or a piece of clothing. If he’s ever put a bag of trash in a trash can. Changed a light bulb. Boiled an egg. I don’t think he would even know how. He’s indicated at least once in interviews that grocery stores are completely unfamiliar to him. He literally doesn’t understand how they work. Food just materializes at his table, at the appointed time. Including his favorite, well-done steak slathered in ketchup.
I think if Donald Trump had to fend for himself for one week, even with a million dollars in a bank account, he would starve to death in dirty underwear. Yet about one half of America is convinced that he’s a man of the people who can relate to our daily struggles. Because of the machine.
I will memorize this passage and regurgitate it to all the idiots I interact with in the future. You have performed a service to us all. I thank you!
Why would you put a bag of trash in a trash can? Usually you put empty bags in, then take them out when they’re full (and put them in a dumpster or something).
Some garbage trucks can more easily pick from cans.
In some areas, bags get decimated by rodents, even the cans are sometime not enough.
Odors and/or overall cleaness of the place.
The ability to put bags outside without waiting pickup day.
In some weather, bags are sent flying or covered in snow.
Some trash services and infrastructure involves taking the trash bag from the kitchen, putting it into a can and placing that at the roadside. So, placing the bag in the trash can is step 2.
(Having grown up poor, I thought the fancy under-sink trash bags were just on Diff’rent Strokes. And a plastic trash appliance with a lid to hold the bag was an ephemeral luxury that only appeared every now and then :-) )
Boomers are more likely to answer a poll. With the progressive young people if they get an unknown number their cell they ignore it. And they don’t have a landline or answer mail. There’s no accurate way to poll everyone. They could try polling via the internet and then get all democrat responses.
But will the progressives vote?
After seeing the state of our country I would think so. Millions of teenagers just became voters and have been just watching from the sidelines this shit show. Everyone likes a common enemy. Going after abortion was probably their biggest mistake.
Let’s certainly hope so. I would have to imagine that everyone who’s just turned 18 and has younger siblings isn’t too keen on carpooling to work with a 14 year old so the book banning and child labor nonsense should spur some votes to stop the insanity as well.
Hot take: It would be more likely if the Dems actually helped the working class.
I’m hoping the trial stress strokes him out. Best case scenario
He should share a cell with GW Bush and Dick Cheney.
