#IndictmentThursday is tomorrow. The Manhattan district attorney's office plans to charge the Trump Organization and its chief bookkeeper with tax-related crimes on Thursday, The Wall Street Journal reported.
No fake tan, no hair and make up. No indictment expected against the monster.
Allen Weisselberg who knows every dime in and out since the days Fred ran Trump Org is still going to work at Trump Tower, clearly loyal to a monster who is holding who knows what over his head?

President Biden says “such a verdict is much too rare. He cited “a brave young woman with a cell phone camera, a murder that happened for almost 10 minutes in broad daylight.”
Biden says people of color should not have to “wake up knowing that they can lose their very life in the course of just living their life.” He is urging meaningful police reform legislation in George Floyd’s name to be made into law as quickly as possible after one whole year.
President Biden spoke to the Floyd family today after the verdict. He told George Floyd’s young daughter Gianna, “Daddy did change the world.”

.@RepRaskin opens the 2nd day of Trump’s 2nd impeachment trial. He says “The Senate is sitting as a court of impeachment on the facts.” He is disparaging Trump’s lawyers’ defense that Trump was an innocent bystander. “The evidence will show that Trump was the incited in chief.”
Impeachment managers will be issuing warnings about the graphic nature of some of the videos that will be shown as evidence. Especially for teachers screening this historic hearing. Raskin refers to 1/6 as “A day that will live in disgrace”. He decried “insurrectionary justice.”
A most haunting line from Jamie Raskin’s opening marks, after he made a solid analogy about Trump being like a fire chief who helped ignite the fire, is this phrase referring to January 6: “a kaleidoscope of sadness and terror and violence.”
