This is the indictment that those who were horrified by the events of Jan. 6, 2021, have been waiting for. The catalog of misdeeds that Donald Trump is accused of is extensive, some reflected in other prosecutions over classified documents and hush-money payments or in civil lawsuits.

    He is no doubt going to try spinning this into a talking point for his election campaign. The same old “they’re only punishing me because they’re crooked demonrats” and all that shit

      For sure. I am really still saddened that this works so well. Republicans are so tribal, it just doesn’t matter what they have on him. Never has hit a point where “ok maybe a lot was political but this is overwhelming”.

      It’s gotta be that the anger and hatred trump represents is core to their very being. They can’t examine it. It would mean their whole life is flawed.

        I feel this with my parents:/ Republicans used the abortion issue and it gets a lot of religious votes, and it works. Calling the democrats evil and saying they eat babies is something some of them really beleive in. So depressing.

          Exactly. Same. Mine don’t even watch Fox News. But they talk to their friends who do and they’re under the impression that the media has been out to get Trump and have treated him unfairly since day one. As if the media wouldn’t crucify anyone who runs for president with decades of skeletons in their closet. My mother has heard trump say “grab them by the pussy” and thinks it’s offensive to have an issue with that quote. The same person who grounded me for weeks for less. I got spankings for WAYYY less than this. Lost a ton of respect for my parents over this. The worst part? Anytime you present evidence against Trump, they don’t just ignore its implications. They get very mad.

            Dude, are we siblings :) same exact shit. I was punished so hard for the tiny things I did wrong as a child. Always told I have to be better, and that being obsessed with money and leing is wrong. and then trump comes and its all ok and even a little funny. They wonder why my generation is disillusioned by organized religion.

        Trump’s basic platform was ‘they’re all crooked and out to get us, you absolutely CANNOT trust them. I am the only one you can trust’. The people who bought that will deny any evidence you put in front of ‘em.
