Convicted of serious, heinous crimes against minors, her petition is an affront to the victims & a challenge to the notion of accountability. Regardless of legal arguments, the broader consensus is that her sentence is justified & her release would be both legally & ethically wrong on many levels.

"Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. Even Republicans in Congress are beginning to revolt against him. A tyrant can exercise tyranny only as long as the objects of his tyranny continue to allow it. Remember this."

Jim Jordan has subpoenaed Jack Smith to give a deposition behind closed doors.
I do hope Jack Smith cooperates as fully as Jim Jordan cooperated with his J6 Committee subpoena.

Agreed. But numbness perhaps is from the media, not the rest of us. And maybe because the media is unprepared with how to handle it. it’s time to rise up and fight back.

Apparently there is no bottom to how low the GOP and its supporters are willing to sink to.
Conservative Christian standards have bent the knee to lowlife criminal grifting operators.
White Christian nationalists are the worst things this country has seen in a long time.

I'm amused how we (including me) use the term "new low" for MAGA. Felonies, sexual assaults, caging children, pedophilia, war crimes, sexual trafficking and the list goes on and on and on. There is no "new low." There is no bottom for MAGA. It's difficult to wrap our minds around that fact.

There is no numbness. Only a weird shrug from media and journalists that make us feel we're living on another planet where nothing matters and everything is the same. Where ethics, morality and honor have gone to die. The Fourth Estate is the problem, not the American people.

The way I've looked at it is, there has never been, and never will be, a bottom with Trump and his ilk.
There is a temptation is to describe what happened yesterday as somehow a “new low.”
But it’s not a new low. It’s the same old low. A scene we’ve seen repeated so often there is a kind of numbness to it.

Wow…. They reached all the way back to Thomas Edison. Why not describe him as great as King Theoden? Stephen Miller is an excellent Grimma…just as scary

Trump naps all morning until noon. And again after 5. And on and off, but mainly napping from noon to 5. He also rarely stands for more than 15 minutes and has trouble with steps, and can’t walk a straight line. My 90 YO FIL with dementia has more energy than Trump.

Ever since I stopped watching cable news shows and ignore trump posts, I've been a little more at ease during these tough times. I highly recommend it.
