Trump represents white supremacy.

Repeating the crimes is the mission of white supremacy.

America has to address the obvious double standards for white male racists.

No woman, no person of color, only a white man can get the privileges Trump enjoys.

Note: They're saying "alleged" because that's what journalists are supposed to do until there's a conviction. ABC isn't trying to cast doubt, they're trying to follow professional standards and also not get sued for libel.

"Former President Donald Trump, bent on staying in power, undertook a sweeping "criminal scheme" to overturn the results of the 2020 election, including repeatedly pushing lies about the results despite knowing that they were correct, and doubling down on those falsehoods as the Jan. 6 riot raged, a sweeping federal indictment alleges.

This is the third indictment faced by the former president, who -- as the Republican frontrunner in the 2024 presidential race -- continues to insist that the vote was rigged.

Prosecutors say the alleged scheme, which they say involved six unnamed co-conspirators, included enlisting a slate of so-called "fake electors" targeting several states; using the Justice Department to conduct "sham election crime investigations"; enlisting the vice president to "alter the election results"; and doubling down on false claims as the Jan. 6 riot ensued -- all in an effort to subvert democracy and stay in power.

The six alleged co-conspirators include several attorneys and a Justice Department official.

The sweeping indictment, based on the investigation by special counsel Jack Smith, charges Trump with four felony counts: conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights...

In the history of the country, no president or former president had ever been indicted prior to Trump's first indictment in April."

Republicans are eating themselves. Definitely good to run the country though, for sure.

This tweet sums up the bad faith throughout the rotted, fetid Republican Party.

You can't reason with the unreasonable.

You can't reason with fascists who must protect their corrupt, decaying, bankrupt leader.

It gets worse every day, and Trump not being elected matters more and more.

6 Jan 2021 - Another video has emerged from 6 January 2021. This one is hard to watch. It's a clip of a female Trump supporter getting beaten by US Capitol Police.

She is hit approximately thirty-five times over the course of 4 minutes and 30 seconds, while appearing to be begging for mercy. She is hit with the baton while facing away. She is hit with the baton while facing forward. She is speared and poked with the baton about the face so as to inflict maximum pain. She collapses more than once and is stood up by the officers only to be maced and beaten again. At some point, White-shirt puts away his baton, not because he is showing mercy because he has a clear avenue to her face. As such, he unloads on the defenseless woman punching her five times in five seconds, directly in the face.
