One guy is old. The other guy is an old lying pedophile philandering racist rapist, convicted of 34 felonies, liable for $464 million of business fraud, who ripped off thousands of people, stole top secret US military documents, and tried to violently overthrow the government.

Remember, Trump is only picking a new VP for his ticket now because he tried to get his last one hanged by a violent mob.

FACT: Donald Trump is in Jeffrey Epstein's newly released appointment logs. FACT: Donald Trump was sued by a woman who claims she was RAPED by Trump when she was a 12-year-old Epstein captive -- but the suit was dropped, 4 DAYS before the 2016 election, because of death threats.

Trump-aligned Heritage Foundation, group behind Project 2025, has now threatened a VIOLENT REVOLUTION if they don't get their way. That is literally what we are up against, folks. Democracy -- or dictatorship.

Our old institutions are crumbling with cowardice. The courts, the media, Congress -- they fear angering Trump or appearing biased against him, in case he wins. And in doing so, they make it more likely he wins. WE MUST RISE UP -- we are the only hope left.

Rudy Giuliani disbarred permanently by state of New York. Yes, you get disbarred for telling LIES to courts. Repeatedly. Trump LOST the 2020 election, fair and square. Claims of fraud were false. And now Rudy is finally starting to pay the price for those lies.

TWO FULL DAYS. That’s how long Trump’s plane was parked next to a Russian Embassy plane, all by themselves. WHY ISN’T THE MEDIA ASKING ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS?

The only reason Trump didn’t execute or murder people while president is because people told him he couldn’t. The Supreme Court just told him he can.

The Supreme Court is concerned about protecting the president from the people — when they should be concerned about protecting the people from the president.

What if Biden used his official powers to have the IRS, FBI, and DOJ investigate the Supreme Court justices to find out every penny they’ve ever taken from anyone, ever? Enforcing corruption laws is under his authority. And you can’t question his motive at all.

If the DC J6 case against Trump will now not go to trial until 2025, if ever — then Jack Smith should now unleash the rest of his indictments against Trump’s co-conspirators. Including his co-conspirators in Congress.

Small government. Original intent. Limited federal power. That’s what right-wingers said they wanted, my entire life. Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit. They want to control EVERYTHING, centrally run by a dictatorial president immune from prosecution. And it’s 100% un-American.

The Supreme Court ruled that evidence of “official acts” cannot be admitted at a trial on the “unofficial acts.” But that does NOT preclude such evidence from consideration in the proceeding to determine whether the acts were official. All the evidence is about to come out.

The decision before is now even more clear: Democracy or dictatorship? THAT is THE question for 2024. And if we answer it incorrectly, it’ll be the last issue we ever vote on.

BREAKING: Trump now trying to use Supreme Court immunity to kibosh NYC conviction He will fail — most of the events occurred BEFORE Trump took office One exception: repayments to Cohen in 2017 So repaying your personal lawyer for pornstar hush money is an “official act”? 😂

Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito should not have been part of the Trump immunity case. They were legally required under federal law to RECUSE themselves -- Thomas because his wife is implicated in January 6, and Alito because his bias was clearly displayed via his flagpoles.

Biden's next act with his new presidential immunity: Create 4 new seats on the Supreme Court, by executive order. He can add a binding ethics code as well. And a special counsel to investigate corruption on SCOTUS while he's at it.

The Supreme Court did not only pervert and distort the Constitution today -- they partially undid the Declaration of Independence as well. The ENTIRE POINT of independence was to separate from a king who was above the law. And now we just voluntarily put one back into place.

WE THE PEOPLE are the ones who will have to take down Trump. Not the courts - they've been corrupted. Not the media - they're desperate for access and cash. Not the prosecutors - the courts are stopping them from doing their jobs. Us, together, this November. #TakingDownTrump

Things Trump did that were NOT "official acts": - inciting the mob on J6 - activating fake electors - bullying Pence into exceeding his authority - trying to get DOJ to make false claims of election fraud - leading a conspiracy to keep himself in office after he KNEW he lost
Avatar
Biden's first act with his presidential immunity: March the FBI into Mar-a-Lago, Bedminster, and Trump Tower right now, finding every single last government document, every computer, every second of security camera footage, everything -- in the name of national security.

Donald Trump needs to be careful what he wished for -- the Supreme Court's decision now means Judge Chutkan will hold proceedings on whether Trump's actions were "official acts" of the presidency. This could be a trial before the trial, potentially RUINING Trump politically.

Donald Trump ADMITTED talking to Vladimir Putin about his planned invasion of Ukraine BEFORE it happened. Does this mean Trump was communicating with Putin in 2021-22, after Trump had left the White House? What did Trump say? And were any documents transmitted?

One guy is already in the job. He’s old, he’s slower, but by every measure he’s crushing it. The other guy is reapplying for the job after he was fired from it — and then led a conspiracy and incited a mob to attack the building so he could try to keep his job. Choose wisely.

The New York Times is now just the New York Post with a thesaurus.

The Supreme Court did do ONE thing right yesterday. They denied Steve Bannon’s last-ditch effort to avoid justice. Bannon goes to prison on Monday.

Chevron must be codified into law by Congress.

According to the Supreme Court: Judges know more about science than scientists. Judges know more about medicine than doctors. Judges know more about structural safety than engineers. Judges know more about climate change than meteorologists.

Think of the East Palestine disaster. Now multiply that by 20. THAT is what SCOTUS killing the Chevron doctrine means — safety rules tied up in litigation and the worst corporate actors running amok.

In 1984, Ronald Reagan had a bad first debate, and people questioned his age. He bounced back, performed better, and turned a close race into a landslide re-election win on the strength of the economy and his position as a tough fighter against the Kremlin. Sound familiar?
