12 ordinary new yorkers put their lives on hold & took on the herculean task serving on the jury of Donald Trump's first criminal trial.
This was an extraordinary and brave undertaking.
May they all be protected and appreciated for their service.
Guilty.
Today, twelve ordinary American citizens found a former president guilty of dozens of felonies.
Despite his efforts to distract, delay, and deny – justice arrived for Donald Trump all the same.
And the rule of law prevailed.
Trump shut your mouth! You talk about saving the Constitution? You’re the one who has disrespected the Constitution and you have supporters who believe we should get rid of the Constitution! Just shut your mouth, you’re convicted on all counts!
Please, god, let our long national nightmare be over soon. Let’s send @JoeBiden back to the White House where he belongs, and send Donald Trump to the big house, where HE belongs. #VoteBiden2024#TrumpforPrison2024
SCOTUS was normalizing in real time the profoundly unAmerican picture of president as crime boss liberated from all legal constraints — more powerful than George III or Louis XIV, inverting the meaning of 1776 and 1787 . . .
It is with great sadness, but also gratitude that we had him with us for so long, that I share the news that my father, Ed Schiff, has passed away at age 96.
Boca Eddie, as he was affectionately known, was an Army veteran, and a wonderful father, husband, grandfather and great grandfather. He delighted in his family, and lived life to the fullest, and now goes to join our mother of blessed memory, Sherrill Ann.
May his memory be a blessing.
BREAKING: In a devastating speech, iconic actor Robert De Niro rips Donald Trump to shreds, declaring that Trump is “not a bad man,” but “an evil one” who is a “wanna be tough guy” and has “no morals or ethics.”
But Robert De Niro didn’t stop there…
De Niro continued:
“Trump has no sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them.
The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination. Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world.
We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags.
The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior. That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse.
Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously.
So, today I issue another warning.
From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America:
This is our last chance.
Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator.
And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided.
So what do we do about it? We have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls. We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House. They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice. Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them.
Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect. Let’s not talk about “democracy.”
“Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it. Let’s talk about right and wrong. Let’s talk about humanity. Let’s talk about kindness. Security for our world. Safety for our families. Decency. Let’s welcome them back. We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump.”
Well said, Robert De Niro!
Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Robert De Niro for calling out Donald Trump — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX
Extreme weather. Drought. Massive wildfires that destroy our air quality. Evidence of a climate crisis is all around us and Northeasterners can look no further than out their own windows to find it.
We need to address this crisis head-on—there’s no more time to waste.
To celebrate my dad's birthday, I'm going to watch one of his movies or maybe two 🍿📽️ There are so many to choose from! What Dean Martin movies would be your choice?🥰
I just can't understand why some people who pay very close attention to politics still insist on blaming Joe Biden and "Democrats" for problems that Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema have caused by refusing to eliminate the filibuster.
