Buried in a new ABC News article today is that last week Trump "held a fundraiser for the Patriot Freedom Project, a group that supports those who attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021." Trump LITERALLY is raising funds for the Jan 6 terrorists who attacked our capitol. 1/2

Forgery is not speech. Violence is not speech. Conspiracy is not speech. Fake electors are not speech. Pressuring an official is not speech. Overturning an election is not speech. Obstructing a proceeding is not speech. Overthrowing the government is not speech.

A Democrat won the WI State Supreme Court race in a landslide this spring. Now the state legislative GOP threatens her with impeachment if she rules against the gerrymandered maps that have created their majorities. jsonline.com/story/news/poli…

🚨🚨🚨OUTRAGEOUS! Ten Republican members of Congress attended a Dec. 21 White House meeting focused on efforts to pressure former Vice President Mike Pence to help overturn the 2020 election. Those members of Congress were: -Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) -Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) -Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) -Rep. Brian Babin (R-Texas) -Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) - Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) -Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) -Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.) -Rep. Jody Hice (R-Ga.) -Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) The revelation underscores how deep the involvement of some lawmakers were in Trump's schemes to overturn the election even after the electoral college met to affirm President Biden's victory. THIS BEGS THE QUESTION: If Donald Trump has been INDICTED… …shouldn’t every member of Congress who helped him face prison as well?

BREAKING: Sources reveal to CNN that Donald Trump was furious with the judge after his arraignment yesterday for the new charges from Special Counsel Jack Smith because he felt he wasn't properly respected — all because of the way he was addressed. This one is just too perfect... Apparently, the ex-president was incredibly "pissed off" after leaving the courthouse in Washington, D.C. because Magistrate Judge Moxila Upadhyaya called him "Mr. Trump" during the proceedings. Trump has grown used to his minions and the supporters that visit him at Mar-a-Lago calling him "Mr. President" as a sign of enduring respect. There should be a rule that you forfeit the right to be called "Mr. President" if you've attempted a violent coup to overthrow our democracy. You must give respect to get respect and nobody has disrespected America more than Donald Trump. The absolute worst thing that you can do to a fragile man like him is insult his ego and there's a lot more of that to come. If he hates being called "Mr. Trump" just wait till he's being called "Inmate #54959495." Please retweet and ❤️ if you would NEVER call Trump "Mr. President" — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: tribel.app.link/okwPIHYCIqb

BREAKING: CNN's Jim Acosta destroys MAGA Congressman Tim Burchett on live television after he pathetically defends Donald Trump over his worsening classified documents scandal. It all started out with Burchett making a statement that sounds ludicrous to anyone who has been paying attention to the news... He claimed that right-wingers don't riot because the "conservative movement is just really tired of burning the country down and seeing it burn down all over." This is a common Republican tactic. They want to paint Democrats — particularly those who are people of color — as violent rioters and looters who want to destroy America. In reality, conservatives are the ones who violently stormed the Capitol. It's textbook projection. Things only got worse from there. Absurdly, Burchett claimed that it was just "New York bravado" when Donald Trump implied that his supporters would get violent if Special Counsel Jack Smith attempts to put him in prison, saying it would be "very dangerous." "Yeah, but why aren't more Republicans calling him out and saying don't do that?" asked Acosta. "I mean, the last time he was whipping things up like this, we had an attack on the Capitol. Shouldn't he just knock it off?" "If he was quiet about it all, we wouldn't be talking about it, and his numbers wouldn't be going up again," said Burchett, as if polling bumps justify terroristic threats. "It's just him being him, and I hoped to heck he wouldn't do it." Burchett went on to make the completely false claim that there was only "circumstantial evidence" against Trump in the classified documents case. He then rambled about the Biden family, spewing conspiracy theories before Acosta cut in— "In the documents case, it isn't circumstantial evidence that he had the documents and he was asked to give the documents back, and he refused to return the documents," said Acosta. "No, no, no, I'm sorry," said a flustered Burchett. "I'm sorry. No. Yeah, you're correct there. You're correct there. I apologize there." "And he did try to overturn the election on Jan. 6," Acosta pressed. "Absolutely," conceded Burchett. "Actually, I had discussions with leadership and others and I've called for a different scenario for those type of documents. I don't think they should ever leave the hands of the bureaucrats. I think they've ought to be assigned to somebody." The congressman then rambled incoherently for a while, clearly rattled by his own mistake and subsequent apology. "If [Trump] does these things and most folks can agree that it was wrong for him to retain the documents, refuse to give them back, a lot of people believe it was wrong for him to try to overturn the election results when it was clear... Shouldn't he be punished for that?" Acosta asked. "He did bad things. Shouldn't he be punished like anybody else?" "I don't have a problem with saying that he should. But at what level?" asked Burchett. "Is he doing it to disseminate those secret documents to our enemies, or what was he doing? What was the intent there?" "Was the intent just to be Trump and say 'I'm not gonna turn them back, you can't have them' kind of thing. I mean, the whole thing was ridiculous," Burchett went on. "You should have been returned them in the beginning." The idea that "being Trump" innately involves breaking the law but should be overlooked simply because he's Trump is an insane idea — and one of the central operating rules of the modern Republican Party. Acosta pushed Burchett to say if he thought Trump should be punished and the Congressman slithered back and forth evasively. Finally, the host asked him for a straight answer. "If he disseminated the information to some of our enemies, throw the book at him," said Burchett. "Put him in jail, cuff him and stuff him. But if he just kept them there at his place and we don't have any evidence that anybody else that could do us harm saw them..." Once again, we see a Republican politician reduced to an utterly spineless puddle when forced to condemn the blatant criminality if his party's leader. These Republicans are cowards and they need to be voted out of office.

Ex-FBI official says GOP is telling agents: "If you investigate our party, you are going to pay the price' dlvr.it/Ss4nTm

Nancy McEldowney, a former ambassador to Bulgaria under President Obama, and now a professor, said this about Trump and his relationship to NATO countries, “I have either been a student of or a practitioner of American diplomacy and foreign policy for over 35 years, and in the course of that time I have witnessed time of extreme tension between the United States and some of its allies over policy positions, over personal approaches of the president at the time,”But never over my entire career have I seen a U.S. president who was not only completely willing, but seemed to take great glee, in public insults, in obviously and intentionally demeaning ways of trying to tear down other heads of democratic states,” NATO, has promoted peace, united allies, safeguarded security, and deterred conflicts, serving as a anchor of stability for 70 years. The West, lead by Joe Biden, has accomplished one of the greatest logistical feats in western history, all while fighting tyranny and keeping us safe. If Trump was in charge, our nation, and our globe, would be in peril. He has no ability to lead. And does not care about anyone but himself.

Trump isn't indicted for "having boxes"--he's indicted for lying to NARA and FBI that he didn't have any, hiding them, moving them around to prevent authorities from getting them back. Biden did none of that. His people notified FBI about documents and returned them immediately.
