Redford and Jane Goodall died. Dolly Parton is sick, but somehow that Fanta menace, that buffoonish, idiotic receptacle for sodium, trans fats and cholesterol still keeps keeping on 😫. Make it make sense.

When a president prosecutes opponents while shielding friends, the Republic is in danger. The Comey case isn’t law enforcement, it’s retaliation with a badge.

Think about what this means:
– Career prosecutors said no case.
– A key witness undermines the charges.
– Trump demands “justice.”
– Charges magically appear.

That’s not coincidence. That’s coordination.

This case is the textbook example of selective and vindictive prosecution. Trump’s enemies get charged. His allies get pardoned.

That’s not democracy. That’s the death of it.

#TwoTierJustice #AuthoritarianTrump #Resist

Cannaman @midem.bsky.social · 19h

They’re stretching statutes of limitations, cherry-picking old testimony, and inventing timelines to make the charges stick.

This isn’t prosecution. It’s persecution.

#TrumpCorruption #JusticeForComey #DOJWeaponized

Cannaman @midem.bsky.social · 19h

Trump literally posted demands for DOJ to charge Comey immediately. Within weeks, his loyalist prosecutors complied.

This isn’t due process, it’s dictatorship cosplay.

#TrumpLawfare #AbuseOfPower #MAGAJustice

Cannaman @midem.bsky.social · 19h

Career DOJ prosecutors REFUSED to charge Comey, citing no credible evidence. Trump’s team replaced them until someone would.

That’s not independence. That’s authoritarianism in a suit.

#WeaponizedJustice #CorruptRegime #ProtectDemocracy

Cannaman @midem.bsky.social · 19h

Federal prosecutors themselves said their key witness, Daniel Richman, was “problematic” and wouldn’t hold up before a jury. That means the case was dead on arrival.

So why proceed? Because this isn’t justice. It’s political revenge.

#DOJAbuse #TrumpVendetta #DemocracyInDanger

Cannaman @midem.bsky.social · 19h

This is obscene. Trump’s DOJ just indicted James Comey, not on evidence, but on orders. The case already fell apart when prosecutors admitted their “star witness” was unreliable. They’re pushing it anyway because Trump demanded it.

Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant.

No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

“There’s no reason why I couldn’t have been sworn in,” Grijalva told The Hill. “It’s very problematic… we’re facing a government shutdown, and my constituents have no voice.”

Mike Johnson’s job is to uphold democracy, not hide predators. Swear in Rep. Grijalva. Release the Epstein files. Stop protecting abusers. The American people deserve truth, not cowardice.

Cannaman @midem.bsky.social · 22h

The Epstein files don’t just expose a trafficker, they expose an entire network of elites, donors, and politicians who abused their power. Every day those records stay sealed, justice stays buried. Johnson knows this. So does every Republican backing him. #EpsteinFiles

Cannaman @midem.bsky.social · 22h

This delay isn’t neutral. It’s a calculated move to shield the powerful. Grijalva can’t represent her district. The House can’t act. The public can’t see the files. That’s how coverups work. Stall, distract, and hope people stop paying attention. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Cannaman @midem.bsky.social · 22h

Johnson’s excuse? “Procedure.” But two Florida Republicans were sworn in during pro forma sessions earlier this year under identical circumstances. When it helped the GOP, it happened overnight. When it helps transparency, it’s blocked. #HouseGOP

Cannaman @midem.bsky.social · 22h

Arizona voters chose Rep. Grijalva weeks ago. Yet she’s still not sworn in. Johnson refuses, because her first act would be signing the discharge petition to release the Epstein files. That signature would make 218. The one that forces action. #EpsteinCoverup

Cannaman @midem.bsky.social · 22h

Speaker Mike Johnson is blocking a newly elected member of Congress to protect Epstein’s secrets. This isn’t politics, it’s obstruction, plain and simple. 🧵 #EpsteinFiles #MikeJohnson

The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear Ghislaine Maxwell's appeal. That means her conviction and 20-year criminal sentence remain in place.

OMG, SCOTUS did the right thing. What's next, upholding the Constitution?

This could be the term that ends the balance of power and crowns the presidency supreme. The Constitution won’t die by coup, it’ll die by this handpicked, illegitimate Court. #WakeUpAmerica #SCOTUS

Cannaman @midem.bsky.social · 2d

If this term breaks the way it’s expected, America will lose voting rights, campaign fairness, and the separation of powers itself. Not a slope, a cliff. #SCOTUS #DemocracyInPeril

Cannaman @midem.bsky.social · 2d

All roads lead to one outcome, unchecked presidential power. The “unitary executive” theory is just authoritarianism in a suit. #ConstitutionalCrisis #Democracy
