America’s integrity is at stake… please hold this cruel man accountable. He is a bully.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

At a campaign rally in Georgia, Trump mocked President Biden’s stutter. Again.

While Trump gives a new meaning to the term “bully pulpit,” the dim glow of the newsroom has taught this reporter that there are things the media can do when a candidate’s speech turns to vitriol:

Hold up a mirror to every instance of Donald Trump’s bullying, to his “Truth Social” posts, his rally tirades, his late-night rants. They should all be divulged to the public for scrutiny.

To combat the difficulty of covering Trump’s absurdities when they become too repetitive, here are a couple of thoughts:

The media should examine the effects the taunts have on members of groups Trump has targeted.

Think of the people who might be harassed because a bully who is also a presidential candidate says it’s ok.

The media could also highlight data that shows how bullying negatively impacts society as a whole, much like hate speech.

Most importantly, don’t allow any candidate to normalize bullying tactics. Call them out on it. Right away. Every time. 

Meantime, let us hope that the gentle forces of kindness and empathy — or at least civility — may prevail.

The GOP has chosen. They will nominate a man who attempted to overturn an election and seize power. We have eight months to save our republic & ensure Donald Trump is never anywhere near the Oval Office again. Join me in the fight for our nation’s freedom. https://t.co/V4otPCFdY6

BREAKING: Popular billionaire Mark Cuban gives a powerful endorsement of President Joe Biden for reelection in 2024 and uses the opportunity to brutally torch Donald Trump.

Cuban is basically the anti-Elon Musk at this point...

"If they were having his last wake, and it was him versus Trump, and he was being given last rites, I would still vote for Joe Biden," said Cuban during a visit to the White House.

The trip was part of his concerted effort to lower prescription drug prices. He participated in a roundtable on the topic, representing his Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Co.

Biden has had historic success on this front and signed legislation that capped insult costs at $35 a month for Medicare recipients — a life-changing and even lifesaving change for many.

Republicans on the other hand have zero interest in lowering drug prices because they are bought and paid for by pharmaceutical companies.

Cuban is right to endorse Joe Biden!

All those people insisting that DA Fani Willis should recuse from the case, why are they silent about Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas and his insurrectionist wife?

Where's HIS recusal?

BREAKING: Special Counsel Jack Smith makes a move like a chess master — files a motion to exclude special pieces of evidence in the 2020 criminal case including Trump's false claim that he is being politically targeted as well as other conspiracy theories.

If successful, this measure will stop Trump from polluting the courtroom with deranged lies...

Additionally, Smith cited the false conspiracy theory that undercover feds were hidden inside the January 6th crowd, working to instigate the violent coup attempt.

MAGA supporters have repeatedly tried to wash away the culpability for their violent actions by blaming the FBI and other federal agencies.

"The Court should not permit the defendant to turn the courtroom into a forum in which he propagates irrelevant disinformation, and should reject his attempt to inject politics into this proceeding," Smith's filing reads.

Smith asked the court to bar Trump from peddling a "theory of selective or vindictive prosecution or to otherwise improperly inject politics into the trial."

The Special Counsel tore into the lie that Trump is being prosecuted to help Democrats—

"In addition to being wrong, these allegations are irrelevant to the jury’s determination of the defendant’s guilt or innocence, would be prejudicial if presented to the jury, and must be excluded," Smith wrote.

On top of that, Smith wants the court to prohibit Trump from telling the jury that other people ""including law enforcement, military forces, unidentified secret agents, and foreign influence" are responsible for the January 6th insurrection.

This is a no-brainer.

The court must grant Jack Smith's request.

Please retweet and ❤️ to urge the court to honor Smith's request — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

@OccupyDemocrats Kevin McCarthy and his insurrectionettes can explore expunging DT’s impeachments all they want but doing so won’t “unring the bell of Dereliction & Criminality”Trump keeps ringing,it’ll only serve to reinforce the GOP’s complicity in his all his illegitimate actions.
