A sad, sad, but very true commentary on the state of American justice. The corruption of values and our expectations of how the law is supposed to work in this day and age has taken some very severe blows. The Kool-Aid chugging repugs and their cult leader need to be restricted from causing any more damage.
Former Trump lawyer says Jack Smith has slam-dunk evidence on documents case
Special counsel Jack Smith’s criminal investigation into classified documents at Mar-a-Lago is compelling, and a bigger legal threat to former President Donald Trump than the Manhattan Stormy Daniels hush payment prosecution, argued former White House lawyer Ty Cobb on CNN Wednesday evening.“There is so much attention on the Alvin Bragg indictment,” said anchor Erin
This ‘toon Perfectly sums up ’Critical Race Theory’… which explains why the GQP goes incoherently insane any time it is mentioned. They have a Terrific aversion- one might almost say an Allergy- to truths- Especially Unpleasant truths which might cause them to examine their souls.
Mug shots would have been a waste of taxpayer money. We all know what he looks like. And I’m not sure handcuffs would work on him… given the size of his hands and all.
One disagreement, while it’s certainly more likely that a poor black man will be treated worse by the police, pretty much any poor folk will be treated orders of magnitude worse than any rich guy.
Welcome to America where most of the time the only Justice turns out to be rich folk saying we can get away with it because the courts are always in favor of Just Us
Sure.. but it’s a given the black guy is guilty whereas the rich white guy has a dozen lawyers to tell the world he is not.. in spite of your lying eyes.
And not only the above, but also the simple acknowledgement of it, in a school or wherever, is dismissed as “playing the race card,” as excuse making. On the other hand, what is the rich white guy busy doing as we speak? Whining that the authorities after him are racists… We white folks sure know how to rig the game. It’s not enough to adjust the rules so they favor the home team, but you also got to make sure that, after the contest is over and a victory has been procured, no one can point out that the visitors got cheated, that the rules are unfair, and that they need to be changed. When the emperor is as naked as a jaybird, as my grandma would say, and it’s in your best interests not to acknowledge this truth, well then he might as well be wearin’ the finest Armani suit ever made.
Can’t teach Critical Race Theory imagen when the poor whites find out the rich are treating them worse than the other minorities; then they won’t donate to the tRump welfare program and may want those rich (insert Benjamin Franklin’s kids status) to bring the 26 million U.S. jobs they sold to overseas workers back to the U.S. Nope got to blame it on those that the rich whites suppress and make the scapegoats.
Still up in the air on wearing cuffs and mug shots in Georgia and I have not heard anything on what Jack Smith will want for Cheeto’s presence when having to show up for his indictment. And there will be indictments.

That’s eight months UNLESS his lawyers ask for (and they will then get) an extension to further study the issues.

They didn’t walk the perp because it would be detrimental to the dignity of his (former) office.

Only inaccuracy in this is that the T-word is a rich ORANGE man.

Special treatment? Where? The worst treatment ever, lotta people say that.
No red carpet, no band, no flowers and no porn stars. Is this any way to treat a despot?

Not excusing the cops’ behavior regarding George Floyd, but remind me:
Which one was resisting arrest, and which one turned himself in voluntarily? Hardly an equivalency.

I hear Chauvin, the kneeling cop just got his sentence increased for tax evasion. What a paragon of the law.

The cop had something against George, and there is no plausible evidence against trump. All this is is a “He said she said.”

The fact that Trump wasn’t in jail decades ago is an indictment of our two-tiered justice system.
