DAMN! Many people are saying that trump HATES this extremely unflattering picture of the back of his fat head in a New York courtroom. Be a real shame if everyone reposted this and spread it like wildfire all over the internet. Real shame. 😏

Donald Trump was indicted Tuesday on four felony counts that accuse him of working to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in the run-up to the violent riot by his supporters at the U.S. Capitol. Follow @AP's live coverage here. bit.ly/44OX3HX

BREAKING: Trump's attorneys have just been informed that the former disgraced President WILL be indicted for his January 6th actions. Trump attorneys Todd Blanche and John Lauro were told by the Special Counsel's office to expect an indictment related to his efforts to overturn the election he lost in 2020. This would be an unprecedented 3rd indictment for a former President. How does this make you feel?

BREAKING: Donald Trump is hit with devastating news as Democratic California Congressman Ted Lieu exposes him in en epic speech on the floor of Congress, submitting into the Congressional record that “Donald Trump is a rapist.” But it gets even worse for rapist Donald Trump… The fiery speech, that you can read below, will now be forever engraved into the Congressional record so that all future generations will know the truth about the dangerous man who Republicans elected to serve as president of the United States. Here’s what Congressman Lieu said today in front of Congress: “On July 19, 2023 Federal Judge Lewis Kaplan rejected Donald Trump’s request for a new trial and confirmed that Donald Trump raped E. Jean Carroll. I’m going to submit this Court ruling into the Congressional Record, and now I am going to read you what the judge found.  On page 43, the judge wrote that Miss Carol testified that the sexual assault, the rape of which she accused Mr Trump, involved especially painful forced vaginal penetration. The judge further wrote that the testimony showed that witnesses Miss Bernbach and Miss Martin corroborated the essence of Mrs. Carroll’s account of a violent traumatic sexual assault. On page 44, the judge wrote that the jury’s finding of sexual abuse therefore necessarily implies that it found that Mr Trump forcibly penetrated her vagina. The judge further wrote, in other words, that Trump raped her.” Kudos to Congressman Lieu for forever engraving the truth about Trump’s rape into the Congressional record so that he can never, ever live it down. Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Congressman Lieu for exposing Donald Trump for all eternity — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter/Threads competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: tribel.app.link/okwPIHYCIqb

Meet Marty Decole “Cole” Wagner. He is the former chairman of an Alabama Anti-abortion group, “Alliance for a Pro-Life Alabama” and was until recently employed by the Alabama State Department of Education. He always emphasized the need to protect the lives of embryos, fetuses, and children. Wagner was just indicted last month on charges of sexual abuse of a child who was under the age of 10. Wagner has been freed on $60,000 bond and only faces between 2 - 20 years in prison. It's hypocrisy like this that drives me insane. How much time in prison should this guy get?

BREAKING: Trump is hit with devastating news as over 20,000 Nevada Christians sign a petition demanding that Las Vegas cancel plans to hold a pro-Trump rally featuring Eric Trump, Alex Jones, Roseanne Barr and Michael Flynn on public property. But it gets even worse for Trump… The Christian leaders who launched the petition didn’t mince words in a brutal takedown, declaring that Trump and his “Reawaken America Tour” are “some of the worst examples of Christian nationalism today,” and that the “toxic” event promotes “antisemitism” and “political violence.” But they didn’t stop there, declaring that, “Every ReAwaken America event is a toxic, two-day parade of pro-Trump preachers, MAGA celebrities, and QAnon conspiracy theorists mixing election denial, violent rhetoric, and deadly COVID-19 misinformation with baptisms and praise music — all in Jesus’ name. An event that promotes antisemitism, lies, and even outright political violence should never be welcome on public property. Let’s speak out together now and ask North Las Vegas Mayor Pamela Goynes-Brown to revoke ReAwaken America’s permits and decline to rent them public facilities.” The group concluded its takedown by declaring that “toxic nationalism has no place in a publicly owned venue,” and that the First Amendment “doesn’t protect the incitement of political violence nor obligate taxpayers to platform hate speech like antisemitism.” You can read and sign the petition here: act.faithfulamerica.org/sign… Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Las Vegas MUST cancel the upcoming Trumper rally — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new Twitter competitor that is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: tribel.app.link/okwPIHYCIqb

Republicans LIED when they said they wouldn't send girls and women to prison for having an abortion.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The teen is not facing charges for the pills; her charges are for, removing, concealing and abandoning a body. She pled guilty to these charges for her act in burning and burying the foetus after the abortion. Her mother is facing charges for facilitation. axios.com/2023/07/20/neb… cnn.com/2023/07/20/us/… nypost.com/2023/07/20/neb…

Rep Jamie Raskin is a national treasure.

The same Republicans who wouldn’t wear a lapel pin honoring a 4th grader who was murdered in her classroom, proudly wore a lapel pin honoring the AR-15 which was used to murder her. Any questions?

Yesterday a vile attention seeking bottom feeder, reduced the political conversation to parading pornographic images in a televised hearing on the House floor, with the explicit intent of embarrassing the President of the United States to procure campaign funding for herself from vulnerable voters. Voters who have been systematically programmed to donate at every instance of manufactured moral outrage. If Republicans think in their deluded tiny infantile minds, this is what Americans pay their hard earned taxes for, they need to seek help. Hunter Biden is a recovering drug addict who broke the law and pleaded guilty to those offences. He, like many addicts embarrassed himself and his family, just as many before him and many that follow will. I for one have no intention of defending the indefensible, but this taxpayer funded political feeding frenzy on the remains of his reputation is beyond reprehensible. In reality, Republicans could not give a damn about Hunter Biden, their sole objective is to taint a father with the alleged crimes of his son, and this marks a new low in their relentless quest for power. This whole circus is being orchestrated by a failed soon to be further indicted sexual predator, who is hellbent on destroying his political enemies, and might I add, the Republican Party, if it gets in his way to become king of America. They can’t win on the economic recovery, they can’t win on improving the lives of hard working Americans, so they want to create a toxic environment of mistrust and promote societal division to allow a monster back into power. They even wrapped a red bow around events, with Byron Donalds, a former drug distributor and fraudster, deliberately and falsely suggesting that this was the kind of content found in schools. Like every good father who finds himself in this situation, the president will support his son while not condoning his actions. I fear Republicans will live to regret their unconscionable actions in 2024. #DemsAct #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #ONEV1 #FAM46
