Get it Out
After presenting 20 witnesses and over 200 pieces of evidence, both sides have rested their cases in Trump’s first criminal trial. The Defense moved for a dismissal of the case, claiming all of the evidence presented by the prosecution should be dismissed because the prosecution failed to prove the elements of the crime. The Defense couldn’t prove that 20 witnesses and 200 pieces of evidence were wrong. They really blew it.
Trump has been boasting about his willingness to take the stand to defend himself but as usual, he chickened out. Nobody was surprised. Nobody believed he’d do it in the first place. His cult followers aren’t following the trial so they don’t know what’s going on. Their hero backing out would be a surprise to them because he’s Superman. But they don’t understand because they aren’t fully literate. They’re trapped in a cult where they have been brainwashed into believing that they can’t trust anyone who isn’t in the cult. Their leader is in control. That’s fascism. History tells us that cults like this never end well. It’s fun and games for them now but it’s not funny. This is some scary shit but the media not only doesn’t portray it that way, they ignore the cult altogether.
One of the huge mistakes that the Defense made was calling Robert Costello to the stand. He’s Rudy’s attorney. He offered to represent Michael Cohen when the news broke about Stormy Daniels. Cohen hired him for some things but didn’t fully trust him. He testified that Cohen told him on several occasions that he arranged to pay Stormy Daniels off on his own and that Trump knew nothing about it. He was a real hot head on the stand which pissed the judge off. He sent everybody out of the room and then admonished Costello for giving him the “side eye,” rolling his eyes, saying “jeez” out loud when he didn’t like what the judge said, and calling for strikes. Only judges can call for strikes.
Court will reconvene on May 28 and the jury will start deliberating the day after.
Trump posted a 30 second video of himself promoting a “unified reich” then deleted it. The video showed a fake newspaper article that referenced a “unified reich.” The term “reich” is associated with Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler, who designated Germany the “Third Reich” from 1933 to 1945. Nobody should play around with that word. It’s a scary, dangerous, and serious word. Trump isn’t playing. He’s serious.
Trump told the crowd at the NRA convention over the weekend that he wanted to be president for 3 terms or more. Yesterday he said he was open to restricting access to birth control. He openly and repeatedly blames migrants for “poisoning the blood of our country.” This is straight up fascism. We need to be using the word. Fascism…..synonymous with “reich.” The media should be collectively focused on this for this is THE STORY. This is all we should be talking about. Fascism is here.
The movie, “The Apprentice” about young Donald Trump screened for the first time at the Cannes film festival over the weekend. The millionaires and billionaires who invested in the making of the film thought it would be a pro-Trump film, not a realistic movie. One of the investors, Dan Snyder, who is just as awful as Trump in all the same ways, was in the audience. He was so mad he stood up, walked out and demanded his money back. After the credits rolled, the director walked out on stage to talk about the movie. He spoke about stopping fascism. Distribution of the film in New York and the left coast should be no problem but anybody who wants to see it in any of the red states could be out of luck, just like women in need of abortions. The Trump campaign is considering legal action to keep it from getting released.
People who lived through fascism and WWII are dead now so we have to rely on written history to understand what we’re up against but people don’t read history. Get it together, people.
Too many Trumplicans in Congress are trying to manage something they don’t understand. Fascism is here. White supremist men in positions of power have led us into fascism. This is all we should be talking about.
Get it out.
Americans need to get it together to understand the assignment. The contest is not between Biden and Trump. It’s between democracy and fascism. Voting fascists out is our only hope. It’s on us, the people.
Get it out.
Get it together, people.
