Tuesday

We executed 2 people who did what Trump did with those documents (the Rosenbergs) and
a former FBI agent called Robert Hansen just died in the U.S. super max prison in Colorado
for doing what Trump did.

Just seven days after Trump lost the 2020 election to President Joe Biden, the Senate rammed through Judge Aileen Cannon—a Federalist Society loyalist—to the federal bench, again via the nuclear option. The seat? It would later oversee Trump’s classified documents case.

Think about that. Before he even walked out of the White House with stolen materials and a failed insurrection attempt, Donald Trump had already secured the judge who would protect him. He wasn't just breaking the law—he was fortifying his legal escape route in advance, with an assist from Senate Republicans.

Idiot. None of you entitled white guys ever learn from your mistakes. Baitball Blogger Tuesday #12

Considering all the indictments, trials, convictions, etc., pursuing trump didn't help us. Think both Biden and Garland Silent Type Tuesday #13

Prosecution was the right thing to do. We have never had a President try to violently overturn an election, on TV. SunSeeker Tuesday #19

Unfortunately, didn't work for us, unless you believe trump would have won by 10 points without the indictments, etc. Silent Type Tuesday #22

Ridiculous. Trump won the Popular vote by just 1.5% Wiz Imp Tuesday #35

Also ridiculous. Silent Type Tuesday #36

Not being able to complete those prosecutions is what cost us. SunSeeker Tuesday #39

Relying on courts to determine election by convicting trump is the mistake, IMO. Silent Type Tuesday #40

We were not using courts to "determine an election." We were trying to convict a criminal. SunSeeker Tuesday #41

Sorry, we thought he would be eliminated by courts. The right wing talk is trying to convince people Silent Type Tuesday #44

We thought he would be eliminated by the truth. Lies (and sexism and racism) won. SunSeeker Tuesday #45

Tough for some to accept truth. Hope we don't run on retribution and payback because we'll lose again. Silent Type Tuesday #47

Running on retribution worked for Trump. SunSeeker Tuesday #49

OK. Still hope we don't run on retribution just because it worked for trump. Silent Type Tuesday #50

Your hope will be fulfilled. We don't run on retribution. We will run on restoring the economy & rule of law. nt SunSeeker Tuesday #54
