INDICATED

So they’re saying these are felony charges?? I thought this campaign finance stuff was almost always a misdemeanor

it's a new category, felony misdemeanor, just for ex-presidents.

"INDICATED"

dril can retire now

I love it when I wake up from a nap and Donald trump has been indicted.

otm

.@ManhattanDA It’s Opening Day, you asshole.

The "Nixon" Twitter account had vowed to only talk about baseball today.

What she asked of me at the end of the day
Pol-Pot would have blushed

Daily Show tweeted "Congratulations to Donald Trump on finally getting a majority of the vote."

ouch, that's good

"ladies and gentlemen, president ham sandwich"

I like how in the middle of his outrage at the "radical left" he still manages to get in a DeSantis dig.

DeSantis should just drop out of the Presidential race now.

Costa knows his stuff/has good sources -- this isn't surprising news but I'm sure there's more going on than we know:

Sources familiar with the investigation tell CBS tonight that Bragg has some documents that have been uncovered during the probe but are not yet known to the public/been reported, both financial records and communications between key figures… will use these as well as testimony

Dick pics Trump sent Stormy

the pee tape

i'm hearing it's confirmed it's the tape we've been waiting for

If it’s what I think it is I love it!

I don’t know what I think it is, I’ve just wanted to use that one for a while.

34 counts, reportedly?

maybe fake news?

lol, CNN headline

Haberman: Trump advisers in 'something of shock'
• The notable legal clouds that continue to hang over Trump in 2023

CNN reporting "more than 30" xp

But do we know if he’s increasingly isolated?

"These Thugs" - dog whistle for the racists, coming in loud & clear

I’m very surprised he isn’t using his reinstated Twitter account tonight.

oh man lol he shd do it for the good of the nation

A week ago a video circulated of a lunatic harassing a family on a New York subway. He hurled racial slurs (the family was white) and threatened them. Alvin Bragg thinks that man should walk free and Donald Trump should go to jail for a fake misdemeanor. It’s despicable.

(The family was white)

gonna be in NYC next week, kind of tempted by the circus...

as long as there's a crime happening somewhere in New York City, it needs to take higher priority than anything done by the ex-president

the dumbest possible take

"The law applies to everyone equally" no it doesn't! It never has! This is a terrible time to try to change that!

If we're going to start applying the law to everyone equally can we please start with Wall St CEOs or, like, reduce the crack/cocaine sentencing disparity?

— Laura Jedeed (@LauraJedeed) March 30, 2023

lol that thread is so bad

how about we start with Donald Trump and then move on to all that

thats a big who cares from me, also just clearly not gonna happen

"It's not frivolous bullshit, he broke the law" but in a really stupid way though, does anyone really feel like paying a porn star to shut up with campaign funds is a serious offense? Serious enough to open the door for Republican DAs to indict Obama for anything they can find?

— Laura Jedeed (@LauraJedeed) March 30, 2023

Remember, if they can belatedly indict The Crime Guy for one of his many, many obvious and highly public crimes, they could do the same thing to you.

— David Roth (@david_j_roth) March 30, 2023

look its been hinted at above but my understanding is that the actual crime would be more of a misdemeanor and is past the statute of limitations anyway, so the fact that he's being indicted on 34 counts hints there's a bit more going on here

yeah why dont we wait and see what hes charged with before deciding if its bullshit

but yea the Republican response to this has been pathetic and incredibly dumb given that A) nobody knows what's in the indictment and B) he's almost certain to face several more indictments for much more serious crimes

I don't blame Republicans for their response, tbh, they're doing exactly what they have to do politically.

Centrists and supposed libs like the TNR contributor there are just fucking morons.

that Jedeed thread is impressive in its idiocy

"but if we arrest mobsters, they might retaliate!"

Gallows humor aside, this indictment is a disaster obviously. I'm in shock they actually went forward with this

Ah, Matt. On the wrong side of every argument for as long as I can remember.

He must feel very proud when he looks upon the long stream of replies by absolute morons, schmucks, shitheads, bigots, racists, homophobes, gun-fuckers, toadies, wannabe-henchmen, power-worshippers and cowards who agree with him that people who are powerful and have money shouldn't be investigated or punished for crimes.

What a dope

If presidents think they will be chased into jail under thin pretexts as ex-presidents, they’ll try even harder to never leave office. This is how autocracies are born. https://t.co/HGM1rAbHA3
