Multiple Witnesses Have Received Significant Financial Benefits From His Businesses, Campaign

Witnesses in the various criminal cases against the former president have gotten pay raises, new jobs and more.

If any benefits were intended to influence testimony, that could be a crime.

Unpopular opinions:

#Mastodon’s obsession with #ElonMusk is unbecoming (I’ve been on here around 9 months & it does not let up 👀)

It’s time we grew out from beneath his shadow, stopped defining ourselves in contrast to him & weaned off feeding on anger/contempt towards him.

I feel much the same way about #donaldtrump, btw, who also thrives on attention—positive or negative.

For the Women Who Accused the #Trump Campaign of Harassment, It’s Been More Harassment

Trump is well known for publicly bullying his #political rivals, but the former president’s campaign has also used similar tactics to launch private, relentless attacks against some of its own workers.

Note to self

Any journalistic investigation of Judge #AileenCannon would have to include the fact she's married to #JoshLorence, who, I've been told, worked for #Florida-based ex- #NewYork (alleged) #mobster #JohnRosatti, who just happens to be a lifelong friend of and current contributor to #DonaldTrump. They ran #TrumpLimousines together, along with #JohnStaluppi and #JackSchwartz

#DillingerGaines

Investigative journalists, do you hear me?

P.S. I've said all I'm going to say on the matter

“It’s the #Constitution of the #UnitedStates that’s disqualifying the former president from higher office …. It’s not President #JoeBiden, it’s not the #Democrats, it’s not the anti-Trumpers—it’s the Constitution of the United States.”

Chris Licht is a moron. The CNN CEO believed he could court the MAGA crowd without losing the left. Instead, the network now finds itself hemorrhaging viewers and in the ratings basement behind Newsmax. Fire him.

'Donald Trump supporters have been creating and sharing AI-generated fake images of black voters to encourage African Americans to vote Republican.

BBC Panorama discovered dozens of deepfakes portraying black people as supporting the former president.'

I had a student who was chewed up by the justice system in NYC— he was in my calc III class at the CC — and he could have gone on to a 4 year school with a scholarship— but that was not to be it’s a very nasty and remorseless system and I have no sympathy for someone who has only seen the concierge in kid gloves version.

This is a very good way of putting it.

Our justice system screws up with the innocent.
Our justice system abuses the guilty far beyond that which they are ostensibly sentenced.

And so my patience is rather thin for those whom it has gone out of its way, far beyond any standards of decency or justice, who can only now cry foul.

CNN:
Have you learned nothing from 2016?
You’re giving this twice-impeached insurrectionist asshole free, worldwide media coverage, AGAIN. Why not go all in, you ratings whores? Recruit that Goebbels clone, Tucker Carlson, to moderate your “town hall” event.

You’re normalizing, legitimizing, and promoting this fascist asshole all over again. It’s all about the ratings and the money, isn’t it? Of course, it is. Face it; you’re more like Fox than you may care to admit.

Is the press trying to help elect Trump? And how not to help them.

So who’s going to update to use this as his photo?

(And I’m not even kidding. It is an official portrait and in the public interest and what separates him from every other US President* so entirely relevant and already well cited.)

  • Although, goodness knows, in a just world it would be just one of many.

I redid the model following the instructions posted by @TilliAtHome. Thanks for this one. 🙏🤣 It looks better now. I rendered the sad figure from roughly the same angles as I originally did. All bricks now have valid (available) colors too. The first version I did, had same non-existing colored bricks. Also, the #StableGenius #DonaldTrump now finally has his unfinished #Wall. 🤣

Enjoy. 👍😝
