Donald Trump wants to prevent the release of Jack Smith’s report, even though special counsel reports that serves his purposes were released. The lawyers making the ask are headed to Trump’s DOJ. Nothing here is normal.

Donald Trump has never been exonerated for the crime he committed on January 6th. Reelection does not absolve him of complicity in the events of that day.

Unfortunately, the Rolling Stone is correct: Trump fomented an insurrection, and by legal maneuvers and feckless Republican allies, he has gotten away with it.

Four years ago today, “a mob Donald Trump inspired marched on the Capitol and stormed the building to stop Vice President Mike Pence from fulfilling the duty that now falls to Ms. Harris.” She will perform it with dignity, declaring Mr. Trump the President-elect.

People are asking how to hold John Roberts accountable for making Trump immune.

What needs to happen is every time Trump does something that is likely a crime--like getting kickbacks paid to his personal account--there needs to be someone (like @whitehouse.senate.gov) blaming Roberts.
NEW: Proceeds from official inaugural merchandise usually fund inaugural events.

But Trump’s merch sales?

They’re heading to the RNC and his Never Surrender PAC—a fund he can tap into for personal expenses.

Rather than flowing to the nonprofit organizing his inaugural, some proceeds from merchandise sales are being directed to Trump's PAC.

If McConnell protected Trump, McCarthy resurrected him. He said he would push Trump to resign, but instead visited him for a photo-op at Mar-A-Lago before the Senate trial. Trump grasped this lifeline of legitimacy to begin the path back from his pariah status. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

Trump tried to overthrow the United States government, have his VP murdered & stop the election from being certified on January 6, 2020.

Even worse? Trump has promised to release these violent offenders from prison.

The people who didn't vote outnumbered both Trump and Kamala voters
A visualization of the razor thin margin of this election.

Of the 244+ million voting-eligible population:

31.5% voted for Trump
30.6% voted for Harris
37.7% did not vote

Popular is not a word that would accurately describe Trump or the MAGA movement.
