@TweetCindySwift @amy_blodgett @tribelaw @RepLizCheney Cassidy Hutchinson and Bennie Thompson will have droves of top notch lawyers lined up to provide pro bono defense. It would be hugely disruptive for sure, but they don't need to worry.

@amy_blodgett @tribelaw @RepLizCheney Gerald Ford gave Nixon a preemptive pardon and he didn't admit guilt...ever. Other folks like Cassidy Hutchinson and Bennie Thompson are not millionaires. Even if innocent...lawyers can drain bank accounts. Trump can hurt them in many ways.

I’m with @RepLizCheney here.

Donald, this is not the Soviet Union. You can’t change the truth and you cannot silence us. Remember all your lies about the voting machines, the election workers, your countless allegations of fraud that never happened? Many of your lawyers have been sanctioned, disciplined or disbarred, the courts ruled against you, and dozens of your own White House, administration, and campaign aides testified against you. Remember how you sent a mob to our Capitol and then watched the violence on television and refused for hours to instruct the mob to leave? Remember how your former Vice President prevented you from overturning our Republic? We remember. And now, as you take office again, the American people need to reject your latest malicious falsehoods and stand as the guardrails of our Constitutional Republic — to protect the America we love from you.

@TokenamicsV2 @KawhiElite @BillyM2k @GavinNewsom 😅 it was the Republicans who insisted Ukraine aid be tied to border reform.

BREAKING: Former U.S. Attorney Joyce White Vance sounds the alarm about Donald Trump's hush money trial, says that you only see this kind of jury fear in cases "involving violent organized crime."
And it gets so much worse...
"I can't help but contemplate that jurors are concerned about being publicly identified in a case involving a former president," tweeted Vance. "Typically, you would only see that happen in a case involving violent organized crime."
Vance made the observation on Twitter (X) in response to a report that one of the jurors was excused from the trial because she was afraid of backlash if her identity reached the public. Family and friends had asked her if she was a juror based on already-revealed information.
Vance voiced similar concerns during an appearance on MSNBC.
"What's so unusual here is this concern from the other juror who walked in after being selected and said, I don't think I can be impartial because of all of the outside influences that are being exerted against me already, even this early in the process," said Vance.
Donald Trump is doing everything he can to corrupt our judicial system. He wants the jurors terrified of him and his violent MAGA supporters because he knows that he can't win this case through legal means.
The jurors must be protected at all costs.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you support full anonymity and protection for the jury — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

Just fyi though, free speech and the 1st amendment is not spreading hate, lies, and fear, which all directly lead to violence, which is what you do sometimes Elon, along with Donald tRump and the Republicans.
Spreading Hate, Lies, and Fear and inciting violence is not free speech

I agree that Trump should only be convicted if the evidence supports the conviction. However, if Trump is convicted without sufficient evidence, he will have only himself to blame. The vitriolic invective he has used to great political effect has benefited him, but it has also fueled societal polarization. Just like in economics, the law of diminishing marginal utility applies, and a conviction based on insufficient evidence would validate that law. Therefore, Trump would ultimately become a victim of his own success.

Here is a question. Why can’t American and British jets also protect Ukraine airspace, at the request of Ukraine?
They can of course without escalation. But fear of escalation is a religion to some people.

Check this out:
Congressman Gerry Connolly had the PERFECT response to Republican who submitted a bill to name Dulles airport after Donald.
He said:
“Donald Trump is facing 91 felony charges. If Republicans want to name something after him, I’d suggest they find a federal prison.”
Sublime.

@Hlinsk1 @cscottadale @RebelWith1Cause @finazzo_t @CraigRozniecki @elonmusk 12 out of last 13 recessions (going back to Great Depression and not counting the Covid one) were under Democratic House.
Congress, not President, decides about budget, debt, spending, borrowings, etc.

@capitalism1 @cscottadale @RebelWith1Cause @finazzo_t @CraigRozniecki @elonmusk "From who Obama inherited great economy?" Do you live under a rock? Obama inherited Bush's Great Recession which took us 6 years to dig out of because Congress under stimulated the recovery.
English
@cscottadale @RebelWith1Cause @finazzo_t @CraigRozniecki @elonmusk From who Obama inherited great economy?
Obama made total mess.
Increased prices for everything, not just healthcare.
Socially took USA back to 50’s with his virulent racism and antisemitism.
It was Trump who lowered taxes and regulations, not Obama or Biden.

“If you look at the year-on-year data, the turning point away from the nadir of European defense spending happened in 2014, pre-Trump, and clearly due to Crimea,”

@cscottadale @finazzo_t @CraigRozniecki @elonmusk Yes, throughout the years they made lots of pledges but only Trump was able to force them to really increase the spending.

Ronna facilitated Trump’s corrupt fake elector plot & his effort to pressure MI officials not to certify the legitimate election outcome.She spread his lies & called 1/6 “legitimate political discourse.” That’s not “taking one for the team.” It’s enabling criminality & depravity.

Dementia is not the worst thing Donald Trump could have. He likely meets about a dozen different diagnoses, and dementia would be one of the most benign things he has, since everyone would recognize it. The worst thing he has is Anosognosia.

@SlightlyStrayng I truly think it was "merely" a dick move on Trump's part. Obama had created the Pandemic Response team, and Trump hates Obama, so he killed it. I don't think Trump understand (or cared about) any of the possible consequences. But we see what doing that resulted in.

(Tweet 7/9 should read "Four years ago today," not "One year ago today". But the first tweet in the thread had the date right. It was in March of 2020. The point though is that Trump would certainly try equally insane things--and would get away with them next time--if he can.)
