Pritzker zeroed in on Trump's mental decline. Every Democrat should be!

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

the way Republicans are in sync on ranting about and attacking #NoKings is a tell. A big tell

they're worried about the growing popular protests underway against their King

Their own polls must be showing the backlash - and they
they know their dearl leader has dementia and is flailing

She lives in hiding and was not allowed to run for President in 2024.

The guy Trump picked to lead the office that’s now investigating Jack Smith:

— said Niki Haley is ineligible to be president
— has neo-Nazi ties
— was Andrew Tate’s lawyer
— 2x Claremont fellow
— wrote for Gateway Pundit
— called for Pence to be hanged
— called for secession after 2020 election

What people do not understand is that there are federal prosecutorial guidelines. Even if Leticia James violated the law (and we don't know she did), federal prosecutors would not bring a case for $18,000. I indicted cases for DOJ. This is a vindictive prosecution.

The replies on the editorial include many versions of “thanks for finally convincing me to cancel.”

Anna Bower @annabower.bsky.social · 2d

You’ve gotta be kidding me.

This WaPo editorial presents a misleading revisionist history of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s criminal cases against Trump.

Then it has the gall to compare that to Trump’s overt targeting of his perceived enemies.

Really embarrassing stuff.

But the mere fact that a legal tool might be available does not mean it should be used. The
current rage over Grassley's revelation shows why. Smith showed little restraint in his pursuit of a former president. He charged Trump for official acts he took as president. He sought a gag order to limit Trump's ability to criticize the prosecution. He tried to accelerate the case to try a leading presidential candidate before the 2024 election.
