Well worth the 21 minutes and so very pertinent:

Joe Biden did not convict Donald Trump.
The Democratic Party did not convict Donald Trump.
No politician convicted Donald Trump.
A jury of regular everyday citizens who didn’t ask for the job reviewed the evidence and convicted Donald Trump.
By refusing to recuse himself from Jan 6 cases, Alito is violating the court's code of ethics, which call for recusal when “the Justice’s impartiality might reasonably be questioned…”
If flying 2 pro-insurrection flags doesn't call his impartiality into question, what does?
@TeamTrump But he’s not a prisoner of any kind (yet). Any other convicted felon would’ve been handcuffed and remanded for sentencing. It continues to shock me how MAGAts enjoy rewriting the narrative to fit their wishes rather than reflect the truth.
I predict that the Republican Party @GOP will nominate a convicted felon, serial sex offender, inveterate liar, dictator fanboy, enemy to American democracy to be their nominee for the 2024 presidential election. Let that sink in for a moment.
Subpoena Justice Samuel Alito. And his wife.
Let's sort this whole thing out on live TV in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Constitution and the Republic deserve no less.
And then if he refuses to recuse, he must be impeached.
The effective federal corporate income tax rate:
1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%
Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.
That is how we will pay for it.
BREAKING: The verdict is in. Guilty on all counts. Trump is officially a CONVICTED FELON.
You are either now planning to vote for a convicted felon for president or you are not. Stop pretending that the side that is NOT voting for the felon is the crazy one.
If I asked any American in 2016 whether they would vote for a CONVICTED FELON, 99.9% would have said “HECK NO!”
YOU CHANGED, not the American justice system.
I’ve long argued that, as @RepRaskin just wrote in @nytopinion, the “recusal statute, if triggered, is not a friendly suggestion. It is Congress’s command, binding on the justices, just as the due process clause is.” Duly petitioned, the other 7 are DUTY-BOUND to toss the illegal votes of Alito & Thomas in the two J6 cases now pending in SCOTUS.
Exponentially more than my reaction to encountering “the ugly American” while traveling, people of the caliber of this woman makes me cringe in humiliation and feel an overwhelming need to apologize to someone for “the stupid American.”
A Trump supporter wearing a “Hang Biden for treason” shirt claims the Coronavirus was “released intentionally” by Dems to steal the 2020 election:
“It was a Plandemic and everyone knows it…Everyone responsible for it should be at the end of a noose”
Justice Alito must be impeached.
He has now refused to recuse himself from cases related to the Jan 6 insurrection, even after flying two pro-insurrection flags outside his homes.
He must be impeached if the high court is to retain any legitimacy.
