    You can screech all about what he did, but if we ultimately aren’t going to stop him from running, then what’s the point of the circus?

      Watch and learn how this is theatre and you have no actual say.

      Maybe we should consider other ways to regain control for the benefit of the 99.99%

      I’m not defending the guy or saying I agree, but there is already precedent of a Presidential Candidate running from prison: Socialist candidate Eugene Debs.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Republicans in Michigan testified in a Lansing court that Donald Trump’s campaign was directly involved with putting together a team to create a false certificate that said he won the 2020 presidential election.

    Zammit’s testimony came in the preliminary hearings of six Republican electors charged with “intent to defraud” by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel’s office.

    The 16, all charged with criminal forgery, signed a document that falsely said Trump won Michigan and was filed to the National Archives and Congress.

    Upon reviewing evidence and testimony, Judge Kristen Simmons will rule at the end of the hearings if there is enough to send the cases to jury trial.

    During the hearings this week, former state GOP Chair Laura Cox testified she approved a document that Republican electors would cast votes for Trump if the election result was overturned.

    Also in Michigan this week, the state Court of Appeals confirmed that it would not prevent Trump from appearing on the presidential ballot in 2024.

    They’ve flipped Meadows. Some random fake elector giving up his handler in the campaign is helpful, but not exactly crucial.

    Jack Smith has a mountain of evidence. He has everything. The cases just need to go to trial before the election.

    A politically motivated attack on the greatest president America has ever seen, better than Lincoln even, to uphold the principles of democracy!
