'Donald Trump is sick': Cop battered by rioters furious ex-president may escape justice

"It was pretty difficult listening to the Supreme Court justices debate this in the abstract, having experienced so much of the end result... firsthand," Fanone said.

"Listen...Trump... is a sick individual, and the idea that he would align himself with criminals who attacked and assaulted law enforcement officers who were only there doing their job, it's sick."

We May Finally Get to Write: “Convicted Felon Donald Trump”

The former president’s lawlessness has dodged many an obstacle over the years, but he’s facing a new challenge now: a jury of his peers.

The only real question here is why this took so long. It’s not as if it wasn’t obvious in 2015 that Trump had total contempt for the law. That was easy for all to see. How has he gotten away with it for this long?

Liz Cheney urges the Supreme Court to stop aiding Donald Trump’s delay tactics

"I think it’s very important that the Supreme Court realizes, that what he's doing, is a delaying tactic...

It cannot be the case that a President of the United States can attempt to overturn an election and seize power, and that our justice system is incapable of holding a trial, and holding him to account before the next election."

Trump’s Unbearable Temptation to Dump His Truth Social Stock

Would he really screw over MAGA investors to cover his gargantuan legal debts? Don’t bet against it.

How worthless an investment is Truth Social? Looking at what killjoys call “the fundamentals,” the platform’s monthly active users fell 51 percent in February compared to the previous year

DJT is what brokers call a “meme stock” and what the rest of us call a “sucker bet.”
