How often do criminal defendants get held in contempt 10 times without being sent to jail?

Please folks, Democracy is on the ballot in Nov and Republicans like Frank LaRose are at it again trying to squash the vote. Check your registration at voteohio.gov and update as necessary.apnews.com/article/electi…

A newspaper editor — Chris Quinn of the Cleveland Plain Dealer — says it as clearly as he can:

'Our Trump reporting upsets some readers, but there aren’t two sides to facts.' cleveland.com/news/2024/03/o…

Quinn writes of a different kind of access. Access to our own eyes and ears:

Only when Trump pardons the arsonists who burn down the New York Times building will its editors notice that democracy might just be important to its operations.

Same news, two different stories.

'If you give us corporate tax cuts, it'll all trickle down to workers, we promise!'

What actually happened?

Record corporate profit margins
Record stock buybacks
Huge executive bonuses
Flat worker wages
Union-busting
Price-gouging
Shrinkflation

Tax corporate greed.

The school that administers the Pulitzer Prizes will not be allowing press on campus 🥴

After doing ZERO campaign events during the last SIX off days during the trial while holed up at his country clubs playing golf, Trump whines that the case prevents him from campaigning.

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace makes the point I wish every journalist could understand:

if Trump wins, she might not even be on the air.

It took the Nazis just 10 months to enact The Editor’s Law, which required Nazi permission to publish anything.

Passive or news-ignorant Americans support Donald Trump, while people who actually read news support Joe Biden.

Corporate income tax rate before the Trump tax cuts: 35%

After the Trump tax cuts: 21%

What many corporations actually paid with loopholes: 14%

What Netflix, Bank of America, and Nike paid: Less than 5%

What Trump’s planning for a second term? Even more corporate tax cuts.

Electoral College was created to prevent Americans from directly electing president b/c founding fathers wanted to restrict democratic participation. It favored slave states & small states and protected elite white power. It's antiquated, undemocratic & needs to be abolished

He’s been playing this game for a decade.

Thuggish spokespeople denying it all. Often lying through their teeth.

All media outlets should include the context that this is 10 years of this stuff. And ten years of the same denials/lies.

A gravel pit in deep blue Watertown, South Dakota might seem like a strange place to meet a Trump supporter. But over the cries of a dying puppy, you can hear whispers that Biden is the reason shotgun shells are $2 a piece.

Trump had 3 full days off from his trial this week. These were his campaign events on those days:

WEDNESDAY - GOLF

SATURDAY - GOLF

SUNDAY - GOLF

This hits hard. Damn.

(MORE) This is what a pointer puppy looks like, just so you know.

Kristi Noem took her gun and shot her 14-month-old pointer puppy and then bragged about it in a book.

Prison Blues

The Donald’s courtroom popularity has Biden looking more like Jimmy Carter than June Carter, and would-be veep Kristi shot a dog in Sioux Falls just to watch him die.

Last night, Ohio State U. officials insisted that of course they would never have rooftop snipers during students' pro-Palestinian protest

Today, they admitted they lied

If we don’t give presidents immunity, we might one day see prosecutors bringing charges for cynically political reasons. Also, here are my favorite memories of working for Ken Starr.
