#RomancingTheVote, a genre romance authors-led effort that raised over US$750,000 for the 2020 and 2022 elections, mostly through silent auctions and funneling donations to Democratic candidates.
They're ramping up their efforts again, but since Xitter is, well, shitty, you can sign up for email notices here: https://forms.gle/h4yHf8VKQmsGaNQS8
The classified documents case will make use of a recording which indicates that #Trump had a highly sensitive document which he knew was NOT declassified.
The chain of evidence looks strong and while there is much news media spinning, a court of law is more rigorous environment where focus on fact is primary
Much of the ugly anger that currently swirls through #USPolitics is directed at the #LGBTQI community. A significant portion of that rage is based on an interpretation of Biblical verses translated into English.
What if that post war translation was wrong?
This is a #film that needs to be supported as it attacks religious bigotry at its root
Make sure you watch to the end where the former speaker is called out for kissing #DonaldTrump’s ring at Mar-A-Lago only weeks after condemning Trump for fomenting the attempted #Jan6 coup
Reporter Robert Costa does not pull any punches when he accuses McCarthy of ignoring #Trump’s incipient #Fascism and thirst for retribution. There is no core to McCarthy, just an empty suit
Let’s be clear what is going on here. It is not about budgetary prudence nor is it about the #SouthernBorder.
It is about what #Trump wants and #DonaldTrump loves #Putin. The continuation of European democracy is irrelevant to the Trumpist #GOP who care for nothing except for what #garchs desire
Lets be clear here. the GOP congressional concern on the security of the #SouthernBorder is simply a convenient blocking deflection
Congressional #Republicans are busy tugging their forelocks before #DonaldTrump. Republican Senators don't care about geopolitical stability, they just want to keep #Trump happy who in turn wants to keep his friend #Putin happy, so no funding from the US for the #UkraineWar
Oh dear, file this one under when bad things happen to bad people.
Naturally this will be appealed and recent news articles indicate the #RudyGiuliani’s personal finances are in poor shape. Bankruptcy looms as part of the final humiliation for #NYC’s former mayor
Hard as it is to believe the word #Fascist is being used to describe the #GOP candidate for Preident. Even harder to belieft, that description is entirely apt.
I was reluctant to use the word until #DonaldTrump started trotting out his #vermin and #PoisoningTheBlood stump speech usages. The show is fitting all too well
We have a Fascist running for President, he deserves the moniker
File this one under not surprising. I have my doubts as to whether #DonaldTrump has ever read any book
I'm guessing #StephenMiller has Mein Kampf committed to memory and whispered a Cliffs Notes version into #Donald's ear. I'm sure they both find it soothing
I've seen some hairsplitting around the 14th ammedment which is the basis for this ruling. Specifically whether the oath taken by #Trump makes him subject to the provision. Interesting that the arguments don't focus on the notion of an insurrection on #Jan6.
In an unsurprising development, #RudyGiuliani has filed for bankruptcy and will spend the rest of his life in an endless appeal cycle as he tries to evade his legal debts etc
One wonders how a single individual can run up debts in excess of $100 - 500 million. While we know, he owes $148 on the #Georgia case, is that all that it is the bucket or is there more?
That said, filing will not protect him from collection on the judgement
I’d suggest that it is a good idea to keep #DonaldTrump talking about Hitler comparisons
He’s made his bed with Nazi rhetoric, let’s keep him tucked in there and busy defending himself.
His attempts, to wriggle away and pretend he wasn’t referencing one of the most murdeous regimes of human history, just doesn’t pass the most elementary of sniff tests
I guess we shouldn’t be surprised that the #SupremeCourt decided to avoid taking a position on #DonaldTrump’s assertion of extraordinary presidential immunity.
Likely they’re hoping that the case will be strung out past the election
What does #NikkiHaley’s flub of the most basic of #CivilWar questions tell us about the state of the #GOP?
Simply put, the #RepublicanParty is committed to pandering to #racism both overt and subterranean.
#Haley’s choice to avoid acknowledging slavery is the worst kind of pandering to retrograde types who would have us pretend that the disgusting, “peculiar institution” was not central to America’s great conflict
