I don’t need a black robe to hand down a judgment on the Supreme Court.

It’s corrupt, rotten and hurting America.

"They (Republicans) say it's unprecedented to bring charges against a former president.  You're damn right; it's unprecedented. We've never had a president of the United States who was making hush money payments to a porn star and then falsifying business records to cover it up. Yeah, that's unprecedented.

We've never had a president withhold classified information and then obstruct the investigation.  That is unprecedented. We've never had a president incite a violent attack on the Capitol. That is unprecedented.

And you know what else is unprecedented?  The fact that so many leaders of that party are perfectly fine with all of that. In their headlong pursuit of power, they're perfectly fine with that. They're going to nominate a convicted felon as their presidential candidate."

-- Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA) to Congress  (June 4, 2024)

San Francisco readies the 'Trump prison chicken' for display during ex-president's visit

by Kathleen Culliton June 5, 2024

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-chicken/

“San Francisco is readying a less-than-warm welcome for former President and convicted felon Donald Trump on Thursday when he attends a fundraiser tech billionaires are throwing him; a 3-story-tall inflatable chicken bearing his golden bouffant and prison stripes, according to the local Fox affiliate KTVU.

The Trump prison chicken will bob in the bay that is also home to Alcatraz Island, home to the now-shuttered notorious prison, organizer Danelle Morton reported said.”

"We want to give you a chance to speak your piece to the Chicken President when we sail our 33-foot bird in his Prisoner45 shirt slowly down the Embarcadero and further south this Sunday 7/22 in a prison transport boat," organizers wrote. "As he sails past, you can say anything you want to President Chicken. You can mock and squawk and swear like you’ve never sworn before in a proud expression of your First Amendment right. Bring your friends."

"Trump will be under house arrest in the White House": Former DOJ prosecutor on what could come next

By Chauncey DeVega June 6, 2024

- Kenneth McCallion, former Justice Department prosecutor who also worked for the New York attorney general's office as a prosecutor on Trump-related racketeering cases. -

“There is apparently a campaign by Trump's supporters to find and humiliate the jurors. I sincerely hope that the Trump crazies do not find them. The jurors could require a certain amount of protection for life, something akin to the federal witness protection program. The jurors in the Trump hush-money case are courageous people. They knew that they would subject themselves to this potential and very real danger. This story is far from over. They will have police and other law enforcement protection, but that does not necessarily stop a fanatic from causing them harm.  Look what happened to Nancy Pelosi’s husband.”

Mitt Romney bows to Trump, because that's what Republicans do

By Noah Berlatsky June 6, 2024

- Mitt Romney -

“I think it’s also demeaning for people to quite apparently try and run for vice president by donning a red tie and standing outside the courthouse. It's just — I'd have felt awkward.”

 

Romney dons the red tie of shame
