Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

An adult bear popped open a parked car in Gatlinburg, and the whole family piled in for a little retail therapy. They raided the car, grabbed what they could, then dumped the loot in the parking lot.

Just in case it wasn’t clear, when they say the U.S. Government’s paying for this, that’s YOUR taxpayer dollars they’re using. I’ll say this as many times as I need to: it is ILLEGAL to use American taxpayer dollars from the government to pay for candidates’ or parties’ political ads.

Trump's EPA paid staff roughly $200 MILLION to NOT work last year. Trump's Interior Department paid staff $156 MILLION to NOT work last year. So we don't have money for food or health care, but we have enough to stop staff from doing their jobs? Absolutely irresponsible.

So, Alabama GOP, to rant about rigged elections and stolen ballots and then post a meet and greet proclaiming “Governor-elect” and “Senator-elect” well before the election takes place is not a great look.

"Fierce pushback" from the press corps? Are you f**king kidding me? The press corps today is a bunch of individual egotists who see the ban as an opportunity for them. There is no loyalty to their colleagues or to journalism.
