the fourth one, maybe because of the sheer number of codefendants also getting hauled in, it just feels like this case is so massive that he won't escape justice. But, of course, we will see what happens.

Today was uniquely satisfying. I think the mugshot had a lot to do with it. The Bragg case is almost trivial at this point. The Florida documents case should be a slam dunk, but won’t be because of Judge Cannon, who will accommodate Trump in dragging it out forever. The DC case with Jack Smith is probably the most substantial, but it’s subject to the moderating influence of AG Garland (who I think means well but does not have the killer instinct needed to deal with someone like Trump).

It felt like Trump met his match today with Fanni Willis. I get the distinct sense that that woman will persue him to the ends of the earth to get the justice we’ve all been so long denied. Good for her.

And the Georgia governor couldn't either. The state law assigns that duty to a special board, and they only consider people who have served their sentences!

This one is special. It’s a state charge that he can’t be pardoned from.

He was charged by a woman. He was charged by a black woman. He was arraigned after we all knew Cheesebro got his wish for a speedy trial on Oct 23. I can’t wait to see how cheesy boy walks that back! It’ll be a hoot.

I’m particularly glad the judge is a young man who seems serious about law. The juxtaposition is exciting for me. I have respect for this judge McAfee differently than judge Chutkan. I have no respect whatsoever for judge cannon.

This indictment and arraignment is special and helps the sleep pattern. He will always and forever be known as inmate #P01135809.

Thank you Fani Willis! Thank you Georgia!

5 years after he serves the full sentence.

There will be attempts to change GA law about that, but hopefully they fail.

That was the defining moment. But this is priceless satisfaction in place of what should have been Hillary Clinton as the 45th POTUS.

Seeing how TFG's hero treats political enemies, keeps the fury burning inside. GOTV, get others to vote and never assume that a shitstain clown from the other side isn't electable, just because no normal person would elect a shitstain for POTUS. Vote like your life depends upon it. Elect only democrats and only democrats that can win, not the split-the-vote candidates sponsored by Putin.
