Trump called fallen service members "losers" and "suckers" — according to his chief of staff — he publicly accused soldiers with PTSD of not being "strong," demeaned POWs, and insulted Gold Star parents & a widow. When he pretends to honor service members today, don't believe it.
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.

Shieber’s “Nietzsche Thesis” posits that our true aim in conversation is self-presentation and social standing, not necessarily truth-seeking.
(...)
In other words, we accept or reject statements based on utilitarian goals, not on their truthfulness. In Nietzsche’s words, we will accept and look for truth only when it has “pleasant, life-preserving consequences.” Conversely, we are hostile “to potentially harmful and destructive truths.”

Step back! The #MAGAts are doing #science! LMFAO 🤣 Grand juries comprised of #Florida citizens don't determine scientific #truth. That's not their job, and they are utterly lacking in the requisite knowledge, education, and expertise to evaluate scientific claims. And these are the same people who don't believe the NY grand jury is capable of returning an indictment on #Trump. But, I guess this is how dem Florida MAGAts do the science and book learnin'!
