Six travailleurs sans-papiers découverts dans un restaurant buffet à volonté à Albi. Corvéables à merci et victimes d'exploitation 7 jours sur 7 pour un salaire de misère, ils sont traités comme des délinquants par la préfecture du Tarn, qui a essayé d'expulser l'une d'eux. Le resto est toujours ouverts. L'employeur a osé rappeler ses anciens employés pour les faire trimer une dernière fois https://www.lemonde.fr/societe/article/2024/06/03/a-albi-soupcon-de-traite-d-etres-humains-dans-un-restaurant_6237079_3224.html
Rs strategy is weak. July 11 sentencing: they’ll be forced to pivot *good for Biden.
R Senators' appalling & predictable response -just a warm-up for coming onslaught. #TFG's campaign raised $52.8M in 24 hrs after verdict -underscores certainty -Rs won't run from his crimes but lean into them as proof of pol persecution -bent on burning it all down. We should brace ourselves for them to exploit their power to condemn our system of #justice, bedrock of #democracy. #Felon https://www.americaamerica.news/p/how-will-the-trump-conviction-affect/comments
For some a stressful week has ended well, #justice having been served at the ground level, even as Sir #TrumpVirus claims vindication (pre retribution) - while attacking the jurors his attorneys chose.
(Wonder if they'll be paid now!)
But the verdict resulted in lots of new contribution$, driving the #DJT stock up.
8 #Republican senators announced Fri they would boycott #Democratic#legislative priorities & nominations as payback for #Trump’s #guilty#verdict.
In a joint statement, the senators said they would not “allow any increase to non-security related funding for this administration, or any appropriations bill which funds partisan lawfare.”
They also said they would refuse to vote to confirm President #Biden’s political & #judicial appointees & vowed to block “expedited consideration & passage of #Democrat#legislation or #authorities that are not directly relevant to the safety of the American people.”
MSM needs to interview Independents too. Few will support the #Felon as the GOP presidential nominee, & most will likely support Pres Biden for president:
"Better late than never I guess. CNN did something that's been sorely lacking in the media these days, which is to talk to what's left of some of the sane voters in the Republican party who are disgusted with Trump and voted for Nikki Haley in the primary."
#POTUS#Biden addressed #Trump’s #conviction & said “the American principle that no one is above the #law was reaffirmed.”
“The #justice system should be respected, & we should never allow anyone to tear it down. It’s as simple as that,” Biden said.
“It’s reckless, it’s dangerous & it’s irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don’t like the #verdict,” Biden asserted. “Our justice system has endured for nearly 250 years, & it literally is the cornerstone of #America.”
“#America just witnessed a confused, desperate, & defeated Donald #Trump ramble about his own personal #grievances & lie about the American #justice system, leaving anyone watching with one obvious conclusion: This man cannot be president of the United States,” #Biden communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement.
