The display this week of a host of Republican officeholders acting as apologists for and sycophants to Donald Trump, by showing up en masse to his New York trial, is a total outrage!
Many of these characters showed up because they are hoping they will be selected to be Trump’s Vice Presidential runningmate, which in itself is an example of total lack of principle, an indication they would do anything Donald Trump wanted!
This is a danger to American democracy and the rule of law, and yet there is no embarrassment or concern as to how it appears to the general public.
The thought that one of these apologists for or sycophants to Trump could be a heartbeat away from the Presidency is obscene, and their willingness to refuse to accept election results if Trump loses, is a major character flaw in the vast membership of the Republican Party.
So the likelihood is that January 6, 2025 might be even worse of a constitutional crisis than what occurred on that date in 2021!
Marco Rubio won’t commit to accepting 2024 election results.

All the Republicans showing up at his trial are wearing dark suits and red ties like Trump does. It’s as if they are a bunch of Nazi brown shirts.
Trump posted a video on Monday showing images of a fake newspaper article that references a “unified Reich” if he’s reelected in 2024.

Nikki Haley has kissed the ring. She says she’s voting for King Donald in November.
Trump is falsely claiming that the FBI tried to kill him when they searched Mar-a-Lago for the classified documents.
Nikki Haley is scum.
At Trump’s speech at the NRA convention this week, he mentioned something about having a third term.

The jury in the hush money trial started deliberating today. Court has adjourned for the day and the jury will continue deliberations tomorrow morning.
Verdict is in! Trump is guilty on all 34 charges in the hush money trial! 🙂
Sentencing is set for July 11.
Trump had a short press conference after the trial blaming Biden.
Fox News is having a hissy fit.
Now we just need SCOTUS to hurry up so we can get the guilty verdict in the January 6 trial too.
Republicans are circling the wagons around King Donald.
Trump has a press conference scheduled for 11 this morning at Trump Tower.
I wish he would announce that he’s dropping out, but that’s very unlikely to happen.
The judge could sentence Trump to probation or up to 4 years on each count in state prison, with a maximum of 20 years.
Trump will likely try to appeal the conviction, which could significantly delay his sentencing.
Reuters is reporting that pro-Trump websites are calling for riots, revolution and violent retribution.
At his press conference, Trump was ranting and violating the gag order yet again.
House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan’s subcommittee targeting the alleged weaponization of the federal government is demanding Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and prosecutor Matthew Colangelo appear for a hearing on June 13 following Donald Trump’s guilty verdict.
His violations of the gag order will factor into his punishment.
His rant this morning clearly shows why he doesn’t need to be president.
Steve Kornacki showed some recent polling. The trial didn’t move the needle much. They’re both still tied and/or very close.
That old stupid RFK Jr. is attacking the trial as well.
Joe Manchin has become an Independent and claims he’ll caucus with the Democrats.
I second what Wayne Johnson said here a few weeks ago. I’m not feeling confident about this election either.
Some groups like this give me hope –
