#SCOTUS is supposed to rule this morning on #Trump’s claim that he is immune from prosecution on charges of trying to overturn the 2020 election.
The decision will determine whether & how special counsel #JackSmith’s case against Trump can proceed — although it’s unlikely a trial would happen before #Election Day. But the ruling could also set an important #precedent for how to prosecute presidents for their actions in office.
Damning Evidence Blows Up Trump’s Espionage Crimes
Documents with classification markings discovered in Trump’s private quarters months after prosecutors had subpoenaed them and the FBI conducted its own exhaustive search of the property. Investigators had “strong evidence” that the former president “intended” to hide classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort, according to newly released court documents.
He told his staff to avoid security cameras when moving boxes.
@ThomHartmann In 1968, #RichardNixon stole the election by committing treason, with no one objecting. In 1980, #RonaldReagan stole the election by committing treason, with no one objecting. In 2000, #GeorgeWBush stole the election by committing treason, with no one objecting. The time to use the label of #Treason was long ago, and is accurate for now.
@GottaLaff
Judge Training Wheels used the word "unjust" toward prosecutors?
Jack Smith is being "unfair" to her?
Stop, you're killing me #documents#treason#judge
"Before we discuss raising taxes on the poor & middle class, adding $1 trillion to the deficit, taking health insurance away from 13 million, raising premiums by 10%, defending treason and swearing in a pedophile, let's begin with a prayer."

Trump has less than a week to arrange a $454 million bond. There are 331.9 million US citizens. If each American spends only $1.37, then we can all buy a cheap chocolate bar to enjoy while we watch the State of New York seize Trump's properties.
@lowqualityfacts
I have a dream, of a monument to prominent Republicans -- a mountain of refuse and filth, to which every American can contribute something, and [those individuals] will be under it.

"This is objectively correct.Trump is the very worst—the actual bottom of the barrel—of the human beings our country has birthed.You can tell me that he is tied with some others ...Manson, Dahmer, and but as a Trump biographer I’m not going to have any difficulty arguing that no one exceeds Trump in being despicable. Keep in mind that the death toll from his actions during the pandemic will never be equaled by any serial killer or terrorist because it would be logistically impossible." s.a.
He is responsible for the death of many thousands of Americans.
Donald Trump is a horrid, malignant, narcissistic sociopath. He’s one of the worst exemplars of the human species I’ve ever witnessed. Period.
Let me get this straight. In #Russia a 33 year old #masseuse and ballet student working in a Beverly Hills luxury hotel holding both American and Russian citizenship is arrested for #treason while visiting her family after donating $50 to #Ukraine and supporting them in social media. While in the United States actual treasonists and traitors are elected to Congress and the Presidency.
Today in Labor History February 19, 1807: The authorities arrested former Vice President of the United States Aaron Burr for treason. They alleged that he was behind a plot to create an independent country in the southwest of the U.S., but had to acquit him for lack of evidence. Some believed he intended to take Texas or all of Mexico, but accounts vary as to how many supporters he had (anywhere from 40 to 7,000). In 1808, he traveled to England and attempted to garner support for a revolution in Mexico. The Brits kicked him out of the country. Prior to all this, while still vice president he had killed Alexander Hamilton in an illegal duel. He was never tried and all charges against him were dropped. Gore Vidal wrote an historical novel, “Burr,” written in the form of a memoir by Burr. The novel undoes the traditional hagiographies of America’s founding fathers, portraying them as the greedy, self-serving and often times incompetent men they really were. It was the first in his Narratives of Empire series.
"Hur’s description of Biden as 'well-meaning' has generally been ignored or interpreted as a condescending pat on the head. But in an election against Trump, it’s deadly serious. The special counsel investigations have found that while Biden acted with good intentions, Trump acted with bad intentions. And that’s why Trump, not Biden, got indicted."
@GottaLaff It's a good sign that this is really all the Rethuglicans have going for them: Biden might put a non-white-non-male in the White House. Meanwhile #RAPE#TREASON#NAZI#NATO#TRUMP
“Any suggestion that allies will not defend each other undermines all of our security, including that of the US, and puts American and European soldiers at increased risk,”
"Trump really has admitted an intent to commit treason should he win reelection and should Russia attack, all because he claims NATO members didn’t spend enough on their militaries. But ever since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, NATO members are now spending far higher on their defense. So why raise this point now, if not to send a clear message to the Kremlin?"
The other candidate is old, makes verbal flubs, faces 91 felony counts and wants to be a dictator.
If you focus only on the age and the verbal flubs, the two candidates are about the same, right? In fact, the one who doesn't face 91 felony counts has a brain that’s three years older than the other one, so the 'younger' guy is better, right?
These #Texas#traitors don't seem to be aware that the #Constitution explicitly prohibits member states from leaving the union. There is no legal mechanism for Texas to declare its independence from the #UnitedStates. So, what we're talking about is armed rebellion, and criminal charges for those who participate. These people are all about law & order until abiding by the law is inconvenient to their desires. Then, they're freedom fighters. 🙄
Today in Labor History January 25, 1787: Daniel Shays and 800 followers marched to Springfield, Massachusetts to seize the Federal arsenal during Shays’ Rebellion. The Massachusetts State militia ultimately defeated them. They were trying to end the imprisonment of farmers for debts, confiscation of their lands and other attempts by the wealthy to make the poor pay for the Revolutionary War. The authorities convicted and hanged many of Shays’ followers for treason. Shays, himself, fled to Vermont. He eventually won a pardon. The U.S. Constitution, written in the wake of Shays’ rebellion, was designed in part to prevent other similar uprisings by the common people against slave owners, bankers, landlords and businessmen.
