Remember: Trump's jury was made up of ordinary citizens — selected with input from Trump's own lawyers. The jurors were not politicians or members of the "Deep State." They were Americans who did their civic duty.
@rbreich#Trump Supporters will first repeat the lie of a 'rigged' trial and a "conflicted judge" (what the hell is that even supposed to mean, can he speak English? Being conflicted is not the same as having a conflict of interests). Anyhow, when pushed about the verdict being handed by a #jury not a judge, supporters say & I quote 'ah but that's #NewYork, it's clown show, what do you want?". Yes. Can't wait for Trump's #America flag to contain 11 states again. What will that country be called?
#POTUS#Biden addressed #Trump’s #conviction & said “the American principle that no one is above the #law was reaffirmed.”
“The #justice system should be respected, & we should never allow anyone to tear it down. It’s as simple as that,” Biden said.
“It’s reckless, it’s dangerous & it’s irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don’t like the #verdict,” Biden asserted. “Our justice system has endured for nearly 250 years, & it literally is the cornerstone of #America.”
“#America just witnessed a confused, desperate, & defeated Donald #Trump ramble about his own personal #grievances & lie about the American #justice system, leaving anyone watching with one obvious conclusion: This man cannot be president of the United States,” #Biden communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement.
From 31st May through to 1st June 1921 the Tulsa Massacre took place. Deputized whites killed more than 300 African Americans. They looted and burned to the ground 40 square blocks of 1,265 African American homes, including hospitals, schools, and churches, and destroyed 150 businesses. 1/2
White deputies and members of the National Guard arrested and detained 6,000 Black Tulsans who were released only upon being vouched for by a white employer or other white citizen. Nine thousand African Americans were left homeless and lived in tents well into the winter of 1921.
This assault was met by a brave but unsuccessful armed defence of their community by some Black World War I veterans and others. 2/2
Previously, Donald Trump was found guilty of defrauding the government. You or I, we'd be facing possible jail time, but for someone like Donald Trump, it was only ever a civil matter. More so, when he failed to pay the fine, he was given more time, plus given a discount.
Donald Trump has repeatedly, ignored court orders, suggestively threaten members of the court, shared information about the judge's daughter, and was given 12+ so-called "final" warnings, but never once was held in contempt or jailed overnight. You or I, the average American, would have been locked up.
Today, Donald Trump has been convicted of 34 felony charges. I do not doubt, he will not face any jail time, much less house arrest, even though technically those are options. Because, as Donald Trump continues to demonstrate, the wealthy and political experience justice "differently" than the average American citizen.
Donald Trump will likely be given a fine, which he can fairly easily pay off, as the cost of doing business, and if not, given all the time in the world, plus a possible discount, once again.
First English settlers in North America ate dogs to survive
“Archaeologists excavated about 181 canine bones in Jamestown – representing at least 16 dogs that lived between 1607 and 1617 AD.
The dog remains showed evidence of bone modifications “consistent with human skinning, skeletal disarticulation, and meat removal” – meaning they were consumed by the colonists.”

Cavalier South vs Puritan North? Hypocrisy and Identity in the American Civil War
“This article highlights the ways Southern ministers claimed the puritan identity for the South and accused the North of hypocrisy, for having fallen far from the theological ideals of their puritan forebears. Furthermore, Southern ministers noted the hypocrisy of Northern puritans for having escaped religious tyranny only to impose it upon those who did not conform to their form of Christianity; they had thus fallen into the very sin which they had decried.”

This traitor still facing dozens of felony charges across multiple jurisdictions,
This is who #Republicans have chosen to represent them. This man is their hope for #America; their collective idea of a leader and role model.
And this is why we must #VoteOutEveryRepublican, in every #election, across the board. Because this man is merely a totem for the fascist brain-rot that's consumed the entire #GOP. #VOTE!
