If Trump is convicted of federal crimes, he will have to be incarcerated. The question arises as to how this would be done for a former president with Secret Service detail. I doubt he would be under house arrest at MAL where some federal crimes are alleged to have take place. 🧵 2. The Secret Service has no protocol for a protectee who has been convicted of a crime & imprisoned, so one would need to be developed if such a situation arose. One option? Shift agents in a secure federal facility.

Straight up Russian propaganda that benefits the GOP. This man is a useful idiot doing the work of Putin & the fools on the left will fall for it the same way they fell for the Russian asset, Jill Stein. Imagine running for president & claiming NATO provoked Russia into genocidally attacking a sovereign country. Meanwhile, only tools of Russia propose peace talks since they will involve sacrificing Ukrainian territory.

This man in UNFIT for the presidency.

On this historic day when for the 1st time a former president has been charged with federal crimes, I have thoughts. A brief thread follows. /1 For more than 20 years (yes, that's going to age me, millennials - my favorite dating pool), I have written about the world for a living. /2

Oh my God. Trump lawyer Parlatore is on tv flapping his lips about events in the grand jury. It is bloody shocking. Andrew Weissmann wisely points out that there is no way Parlatore would not be in the room with the Grand Jury unless he was a witness. Parlatore goes onto explain why he had to be in the room. GO BACK to Weissmann, @MSNBC !!

Borrowing from Dostoevsky, Ogarkova calls Russia a culture where you have "crime without punishment, and punishment without crime." Indeed, "the powerful murder with impunity; the victims are punished for no reason." For Russia, war crimes ARE THE POINT.
theguardian.com/commentisfree/… Russia claims to be a powerful “pole” in the world to balance the West – but has failed to create a successful political model others would want to join. So it has nothing left to offer except to drag everyone down to its own depths.

I don't know about you, but I am ready for more indictments for the MF-er. There are 4 separate criminal probes involving Trump:

- hush-money paid to Stormy Daniels
-DOJ probe into Trump's efforts to block Biden’s 2020 victory
- Georgia probe into Trump's efforts to block Biden’s victory
- purloined papers stored at Mar-a-Lago

Justice Department and FBI investigators have amassed fresh evidence pointing to possible obstruction by former president Donald Trump in the investigation into top-secret documents found at his Mar-a-Lago home,
washingtonpost.com/national-secur… Investigators have new evidence that after the subpoena was delivered, Trump personally examined boxes of documents out of a desire to keep certain things in his possession. Evidence indicates classified material were moved after the subpoena was served.

Take a good look at this graph from AFP. The reality is that if Joe Biden were not president, this would not be happening. Trump, the Russian Agent, would be doing Putin's bidding instead. Ukraine has a fighting chance against genocidal Russia because Joe Biden is president. Republicans have already said that if they win the midterms, funding for Ukraine will be curtailed. They do not seem to grasp that victory for Ukraine is NECESSARY for the free & democratic world. Then again, democracy isn't really their thing.

LOL - Tulsi going full MAGA would be the LEAST surprising development. She's belongs to a religious cult that is homophobic, she's a Russian asset & Assad apologist (which go hand-in-hand), & she's most comfortable talking to the white supremacist Tucker Carlson on Fox News. Let me take you for a walk down Tulsi Lane... For YEARS, yes, YEARS, I said she was a homophobic bigot. Here you go:

Trump had another Nazi rally. Kanye is spewing anti--Semitic hate. Tommy Tuberville gave a racist anti-black rant. MTG is spouting replacement theory with regard to immigrants.

Look, if you're black, brown, Jewish, or, immigrant, the GOP hates you. Vote Democratic for your life This all happened within roughly a 24 hr period. They've gone full racist fascist. I've said it before & I'll say it again: If you vote Republican, you're either a blatant racist fascist, or, you're complicit with it, which makes you an accessory.

Today, Brazilian voters will go to the polls & hopefully liberate themselves from Trump of the Amazon, Bolsonaro, by electing Lula decisively.

Bolsonaro has already followed Trump's lead by undermining the electoral system. /1 The new playbook for autocratic right-wing leaders across the world has been to undermine confidence in their country's electoral systems in order to protest election results unfavorable to them. Bolsonaro is no different from Trump in this regard. /2

In a formal ceremony, Russia has illegally annexed at least 40,000 sq miles of eastern & southern Ukraine, about 15% of Ukraine’s total area.

Meanwhile, on the ground, Ukrainian forces have completely encircled Russian troops around Lyman in Donetsk. So while Putin drones on (and on) with his greatest hits narrative regarding Mother Russia, Ukraine is actually kicking their ass. According to Reuters, Ukrainian forces now have an open path to seize more territory in Luhansk & Donetsk provinces.

According to this poll, despite enthusiasm growing, Democrats are still less likely than Republicans to say they’ll definitely vote.

See here: cbsn.ws/3BLAkiE

What is it going to take for Democrats to wake the fuck up? After seeing that poll with Democrats trailing Republicans in their commitment to vote in November, I see it is time to re-up my thread:

There is a lot going on but spare a moment to think about the fact that 1/3 of Pakistan is under water. Like Pakistan, many poor/developing countries will bear the worst of climate disasters. The global #ClimateCrisis is also eco-racism on steroids.

cnn.com/2022/09/02/asi… Why do I say the global #ClimateCrisis is also eco-racism on steroids. ? Because the countries doing the least amount of damage to the global ecosystem will suffer the most from the climate crisis.

Today's hearings have started with a discussion of Trump supporters' enthusiasm for hanging Trump's VP, Mike Pence.

I am no fan of Mike Pence but every patriot should regard this as VILE and horrific. Trump knew what he wanted was a violation of the ElectoralCountAct. He was repeatedly told that Pence would not act to overturn the election results, but Trump & Eastman plotted to pressure him anyway. As Cheney noted, Trump's pressuring of Pence was "illegal & unconstitutional."

This article from @CivilBeat literally says Josh Green has been "pocketing campaign donations." Meanwhile @kaikahele is running a people-powered campaign.

Let it be known that @HawaiiDelilah 100% stands behind & endorses @kaikahele for governor of Hawaii
civilbeat.org/2022/05/what-a… If you're as sick of the insider politics in Hawaii as I am, & you agree that "the challenge of raising enough money embodies the core problem in Hawaii’s politics," & that we deserve better, then @kaikahele is your guy. He's definitely getting MY vote.

I don't want to hear one fucking word about how you're not enthused about voting Democratic. Gun violence is on the ballot. Reproductive freedom is on the ballot. Climate change is on the ballot. Democracy itself is on the ballot. Grow up, show the fuck up, & vote Democratic. Before you land in my mentions pissy and pouting because Democrats haven't delivered unicorns, take a remedial course on how legislation works. And if you still appear here, you should be shamed, shunned & blocked for actively promoting voter suppression.
