When does he NOT look āglumā?
Via Adam Klasfeld:
#Trump enters the courtroom for the start of his $250M civil fraud trial.
He's flanked by his lawyers, looking glum, and taking slow, deliberate steps before sitting at the defense table. 1/ā¦
This concept that a vote for anyone else is a vote for Trump is clearly silly at best and undemocratic at worse.
No, a voter is entirely within their power to refuse to support #Biden without supporting #Trump either. To say otherwise is to disenfranchise the voter.
#Takei has never been a deep thinker, but we need to call out stuff like this in particular because of how undemocratic it is.
Folks should vote for the candidate they think best, all things considered, without having words put in their mouths like this.
Republicans have proven the King wears no clothes. We were all deluded into thinking a civil union was possible; one built on respect, dignity, and the rule of #law. America is broken at the hand of the unruly mob.
So be it. But before they elect their Czar, #Trump will face justice whether they like it or not. I do not care if he gains #political advantage. He stands accused. If there is no #justice, we will soon know it. A nation without justice is not worth saving. #scotus

Dear Reader,
If you have some time, let's read the 45 day Republican spending bill they are voting on today.
I did a document search and the word "Ukraine" does not appear a single time in the document!
Russian Republicans want to cut off Ukraine funding completely.

Scientific American put it this way:
Dehumanizing and vilifying a person or group of people can provoke what scholars and law enforcement officials call stochastic terrorism, in which ideologically driven hate speech increases the likelihood that people will violently and unpredictably attack the targets of vicious claims. At its core, stochastic terrorism exploits one of our strongest and most complicated emotions: #disgust.

Trump's ex-lawyer might not testify due to threats: 'I don't want to meet my maker'
Former President Donald Trump's one-time attorney turned key legal critic Michael Cohen is sounding the alarm that Trump's violent rhetoric needs to be stopped before he gets witnesses in his criminal cases hurt, or worse.Matthew Chapman (Raw Story - Celebrating 19 Years of Independent Journalism)
So the guy (1) unanimously adjudged a rapist by a federal jury, (2) whose namesake company was convicted of tax fraud, has now (3) been adjudged to have committed a multi-billion dollar fraud over the past decade.
Meanwhile, the same guy has 91 criminal counts outstanding, and judges are imposing gag orders and mob-boss style jury secrecy rules to protect against witness or jury intimidation.
Yet #Trump is still the overwhelming frontrunner in the self-proclaimed law & order party.
None of the family-owned #pharmacies in the #Trump worshipping town I am still living in will order the new #covid #vaccine

Where Is the Trump Panic?
The right-wing elites who promised to save America in 2017 are MIA. Plus: The Tao of Coach Prime.Tim Miller (The Bulwark)
The big story here is that millions of Americans ā perhaps approaching half ā have lined up for the coming elections to say, "Give me more of that. I want more of the corruption and crime, the fascism and faux morality, the immigrant-bashing, woman-bashing, race-baiting, gay-hating. More, please!"
And white Christians are heavily represented in that group ā to their great shame.

"Even before the trial officially starts, the ruling handed New York Attorney General Letitia James a near total victory, meaning that next weekās trial will mostly focus on damages that could pulverize whatever is left of Trumpās many business entities and bank accounts."

As AP reports, "Judge Arthur Engoron, ruling in a civil lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, found [yesterday] that Trump and his company deceived banks, insurers and others by massively overvaluing his assets and exaggerating his net worth on paperwork used in making deals and securing loans."
Engeron found that this fraud went on for years and the evidence is so overwhelming there's no need to go to trial.
āI marvel at people who don't realize Donald is, and always has been, a con man who lies, cheats, steals, and got away with it using threats of ruinous legal action, etc."
