    Charges from two years ago continue their document process. Legit. Suck it up bud.

    The people this amount of evidence could persuade already know this. The people this won’t convince won’t be convinced by any level of evidence. That or at least they won’t admit they are convinced because democracy and self-determination are not a core value of theirs.

    So….yes…. That’s a given. This guy has no business even standing on the lawn of the White House.he should be in jail.

    He knew he lost a fair election and he used lies, manipulation, and intimidation. to stay in office.

    He gathered goons around him to help.

    He duped and used his supports and they cheered while being conned.

  5. As others have said, this won’t convince a single person that wasn’t already convinced, and I haven’t seen anything in that PDF that wasn’t already provided during the well-crafted Jan 6th hearings by Congress.

    The timing of it is *all* thanks to Trump’s crack legal team. That’s why this is big. He delayed a 2yr indictment right up to this perfectly inconvenient fall moment.

  6. I can’t believe that it’s now 2024 and this is an actual headline. We’re pathetic.

    Crazy how shocking it is to hear charges of what everybody knows happened, even the MAGATS know, they just love their clever RUSSIA/GOP coordinated talking points.

    Wont do a thing. His cult is so devoted it doesn’t matter what he does they’re down for the Kool-Aid. If he wins again he might try shooting someone on 5th Ave just to see if he can get away with it.

    It was insane watching the amount of coordination from whoever was spreading them on the late-night of November 6th to early-morning of November 7. It was even more insane seeing derivatives from that misinformation pop in in the coming weeks until January 6th and mind-boggling seeing those claims pop up in court cases.

    I read 50 pages of it. It’s necessary reading. On one hand, it says a lot of what we already know, on the other hand it very thoroughly describes that Trump was told that his claims were wrong by those around him and those in the states that he questioned. One theme that echoes throughout is that he was asked to provide proof of his claims and he never did. And his claims were refuted to his face and he would immediately turn to Twitter and broadcast the falsehoods. It paints a very clear picture of a liar and a bully. He really should face the strongest possible punishment for this

    Section 1 is a must read. It lays out everything in a timeline to show what Trump knew and when. It simultaneously showed what he said and did, both in public and in private. It covers texts made by Trump’s people where they are literally calling out their own bullshit while in a meeting to defend it. That’s what makes this such a big deal. It shows, with an overabundance of evidence, that Trump knowingly manipulated his base into distrust in the electoral system in a conspiracy to overthrow the US government.

  12. Lordy if this was a Reddit headline 10 years ago it would have 100k upvotes. Now these are barely getting north of 10k. Whatever you wanna call it the republicans have completely normalized this idiocracy.

    What part of this new? He’s still intentionally spreading lies about the 2020 election? It’s not like he’s been doing it on accident for several years.
