One reason I consider the Harry Potter series a masterpiece is that it goes beyond good vs. evil. Itβs a study in how people act/react when evil comes to power. Do you fight, flee, hide, stay quiet, approve, collaborate? I aspire to follow Hermioneβs example. What are you doing?

DeSantis scares me as much as Trump, maybe more. Remember it wasnβt Julius Caesar who succeeded in becoming Emperor, it was Augustus. And Rome was never a Republic again.

Lawyer of 32 years here (prosecutor for 27). This is a very basic explanation but he is 100% correct. From everything I heard and read, the judge bent over backwards to accommodate Trumpβs constant rule breaking and contempt. Right wing media has been spinning a false narrative.

Meanwhile Biden had a presser with Zelenskyy and gave a good speech then thorough nuanced answers to foreign policy questions. Will the media cover that??

Well, Iβve never handled an impeachment but Iβm guessing that you do not depose witnesses in your office because they are going to be witnesses before Congress. This isnβt a civil trial.

Thatβs not a heckler. Thatβs a Trumper and unfortunately there are many more out there that feel that way because Trump is the first candidate in our history to undermine our democratic process and public confidence in it.

Trump has shown nothing but contempt for the Court, the jury, and the justice system. How, exactly, is he governable on probation? Heβs just not amenable to anything short of prison or jail.

This has revealed how much we were reliant on the honor of the man in the WH. When you elect a man with no honor, and one branch of the legislature too afraid to check him, this happens.
1/20 Over 400 licensed medical and mental health professionals have agreed Trump shows clear signs of "probable dementia." But even more persuasive than their signatures on our petition are what they had to say. Only in this long Tweet can you read their words verbatim.

Trump is an Authoritarian who with Bill Barr is eliminating every check to his power. He will end our Democracy. He is corrupt. He is unfit. We donβt have the luxury of quibbling over policy.
