Travis County District Attorney José Garza condemned the pardon, saying the board and Abbott "made a mockery of our legal system.""

"State Rep. Dani Isaacsohn explained that despite Dems’ and some Repubs’ pleas for “common sense gun legislation,” the lawmakers have only passed bills loosening firearm regulations... We’re letting an extremist ideology hold us back from keeping people safe."
It's the gerrymandering and extremism.

Ohio Democrats move to ban semi-automatic weapons, GOP lawmakers sticking to their guns • Ohio Capital Journal
Ohio Democrats continue to propose legislation to curb gun violence. The latest would ban semi-automatic firearms that fire more than 31 rounds without reloading. Unsurprisingly, the Republicans are sticking to their guns.

So the former prosecutor who popularized perp walks to humiliate criminal suspects and fry them in the tabloids while getting positive publicity for himself is now HIDING from prosecutors in Arizona where he’s been indicted for trying to overturn the 2020 election? Got it.

Neville Chamberlain sold out Czechoslovakia to the Nazis — and he’s regarded as one of the worst leaders in history.
Donald Trump tonight just sold out all of Eastern Europe to Putin — and if he gets back into power he will destroy Europe — and drag America to shame and ruin.

Tyler McBrien: We pick back up w/the delays in payment in the deal with Cohen and Trump. She displays People's Exhibit 282—an email from Davidson to Cohen, saying that no funds have been received
Davidson goes on to say that Daniels intended to cancel the settlement agreement if no funds received

Trump claims the payments to Michael Cohen was for legal fees
But Cohen was IN-HOUSE! He was the general counsel of the Trump Organization. He had a salary.
You don’t pay “fees” to your salaried in-house counsel.
One more reason Trump’s excuse is garbage.

No, Donald Trump does not sign a lot of checks.
Historically, Allen Weisselberg signed 99.99% of the checks from the Trump Organization.
The fact that TRUMP personally signed the Cohen checks is highly unusual. It shows he wanted to handle his dirty business himself.

Republicans (and their propagandists) want you to believe that inflation is due to Biden's policies. This is complete Bullsh*t. It's due to corporate greed.

Trump withheld military aid from Ukraine until he could extort its president for trumped-up dirt on Joe Biden and his son Hunter to sabotage our election.
President Biden is sending military aid to Ukraine in a matter of hours. No ifs, no buts.
See the difference?

You’ll see a lot of folks saying they block people with no spouts, profile pic, or bio. I think that’s silly—it’s okay to lurk. But we do love to get to know new people and bios are great for that. If the 140 character bio field isn’t enough, you can introduce yourself in a thread! Mine is below.

A 140 character bio feels inadequate, and I’ve seen some folks do pinned spouts or threads to introduce themselves to newer folks, so I thought I’d give it a try. The goal is to outline in a bit more detail the things that make me who I am. Here goes:

And Susan Collins voted to acquit him because she said she thought he had "learned from this case". And the entire Republican Party looked on, and learned that they could get away with doing this openly, all the time.
