Hardly anyone showed up to protest Trump's arraignment today... but Twitter sure had a lot to say about it

 



Maybe America is finally and fully waking up to DJT's real character. That of a mafioso crime boss.


Donald Trump is under arrest… again.

The disgraced ex-president was arraigned Tuesday at a federal courthouse in Miami on charges related to his alleged mishandling of classified documents. Last week, the federal government unveiled a whopping 37-count indictment against him, including 31 counts under the Espionage Act. Gulp!

Prosecutors, led by special counsel Jack Smith, allege that Trump transported a wide array of classified material from the White House to his private estate in Mar-a-Lago upon leaving office, and then was reckless with his handling of it.

Notable details include Trump storing boxes of apparent classified documents in his bathroom, and showing top secret papers to visitors without security clearances at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey–including the map of a military operation in Iran. Yikes.

The 2024 GOP frontrunner for president, who turns 77 tomorrow, pleaded not guilty to all charges after arriving at the courthouse today. One of his personal aides, Walt Nauta, was charged with lying to investigators and scheming with Trump to keep the documents at Mar-a-Lago.

Trump was granted pretrial release with no special conditions, aside from having contact with any witnesses, which could include multiple people in his orbit.

SKIP

The federal case against Trump started in May 2021, when the National Archives and Records Administration notified his lawyers that he may have improperly taken government records. After months of negotiations, his attorneys arranged for 15 of the boxes to be sent back to Washington D.C. Archivists found that 14 of the boxes contained classified papers.

That sparked an investigation, which resulted in federal agents raiding Mar-a-Lago last August, and finding more than 100 additional classified papers in a storage room and Trump’s office.

All the while, Trump’s team stonewalled investigators. In fact, one of his attorneys signed an attestation in June 2022 that no other documents were at Mar-a-Lago.

Obviously, that was not true.

Since Trump’s indictment was released, multiple high-profile Republicans have twisted themselves into pretzels trying to defend his allegedly brazen acts. Nobody was more shameful than the gay-hating South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham, who suffered a meltdown on live TV over the weekend.

But the bad news doesn’t stop there.

Trump’s legal issues continue to mount, even as he remains the heavy favorite to win the 2024 GOP presidential primary. Earlier this year, local prosecutors in New York more than 30 felony charges against him in relation to his hush payments to Stormy Daniels prior to the 2016 election...

"Buddhanature is the innate primordial freedom of the mind, which is naturally imbued with wisdom, compassion, power, and bliss."         Karl Brunnholzl  Capitalism is, or is soon to become a dying economic practice (system). The reasons are certainly many, complex, and interconnected. But the primary reason is that capitalism, particularly in the USA, has become entirely focused on increased productivity to maximize profits and increase shareholder's stake, ie increase the wealth of individual shareholders. Which means in truth, as well as in straight talk, to insure that the real (and obscene) wealth is funneled to and concentrated in the top 1 or 2 percent of the nation. When self interest becomes the driving force behind every decision, and selfishness essentially becomes a "virtue" as it is with folks like Trump, then the footing on which a society stands on begins to crumble. Which is precisely the situation America is finding itself in today. In these pr

Michael Moore... A Despicable Excuse Of A Man

Image
By: Les Carpenter III Rational Nation USA I have chosen, up until now, not to waste my time on that piece of d*g cr*p that is Micheal Moore. To say the man is unworthy of being given even a grain of respect is a huge understatement. This overstuffed butterball of American hating bile would do us all a favor if he found somewhere else to spew his useless yet dangerous  garbage. So much for the rant, no on to the point. Moore has recently came out and once again shown his true colors. He is not only calling Pfc. Bradley Manning, the traitor that leaked sensitive military documents to WikiLeaks courageous and a patriot, as well as donating to his defense fund, he is calling on his Facebook page to "LEAK EVERYTHING YOU GOT." This piece of human excrement apparently  has no idea of the danger these leaks have put our American soldiers in and possibly Afghan families. This from The Hill:   Michael Moore called Pfc. Bradley Manning, suspected in the leak of tens of thousand
