Some inspiring words from the Boston federal courthouse.

[Sophia Cope @scopesetic]

America sold its soul for the price of eggs.

[Sophia Cope @scopesetic]

And I’ll put a cynical prediction here: sometime in the next four years, we will hear talk about a constitutional amendment to eliminate the two-term limit in the 22nd Amendment.

[Sophia Cope @scopesetic]

Well done, America. A convicted felon is our next president. When character goes, what do we have left?

But as I often say at work when things don’t go our way, we’ll see how it goes… and then go from there. I just fear that many, many people will suffer in the interim.

@SaveStandard @SenWhitehouse Yes, we need permanent standard time. WaPo has a good article about this. https://t.co/yrOfzqsuCf

@daphnehk It is exhausting!

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this:

Donald Trump might have gotten a $10 million bribe from Egypt during his 2016 campaign.

His attorney general then blocked the investigation.

@TheGoodLiars They are misinformed about this:

[Sophia Cope @scopesetic]

Why is this not getting more media attention? @NewsHour @ABC @NBCNews @CBSNews @CNN

[Carol Leonnig @CarolLeonnig]

EXCLUSIVE >>> A secret investigation pursued CIA intelligence indicating Egypt's president sought to illegally inject $10 million into @realDonaldTrump 's cash-starved 2016 campaign.@TheJusticeDept investigators discovered a mysterious $10M cash withdrawal.
But they were blocked from seeking key records to determine if Trump took the money, then the case was shut down. @byaaroncdavis & me.

@theglipper Congratulations!

“[Trump told WH staff that his] supporters at the Capitol ‘were doing what they should be doing’…Aware of the rioters’ chants to hang Mike Pence, [Trump] responded with this sentiment: ‘Maybe our supporters have the right idea.’ Mike Pence ‘deserves it.’”

[Sophia Cope @scopesetic]

No, he saw Charlottesville and Jan. 6 and everything else. And our whole country failed to teach the kid that violence isn’t the answer. The ballot box is.

[Sophia Cope @scopesetic]

Will Trump supporters finally denounce his incessant endorsement of political violence?

[Sophia Cope @scopesetic]

The shooter was 20 years old. So he was 12 when Trump first ran for president. And so the kid grew up in a caustic partisan environment. He never heard political leaders talk about compassion for their fellow human beings, collaboration, cooperation, compromise.

[Sophia Cope @scopesetic]

And let’s not fall into the trap of thinking that this seriously misguided kid was somehow worse than the thousands of fully formed adults who stormed the Capitol and sought to assassinate VP Pence, Nancy Pelosi, and whomever else—over a lie.

[Sophia Cope @scopesetic]

Couldn’t fully reject violence during the debates (“stand by”). Head of Heritage Foundation/Project 2025 says the conservative revolution will be “bloodless” *if* liberals acquiesce. He/they didn’t think the cultural climate he created would come back to haunt him?

And of course there’s no obvious way to delete my Rediscover Television account. 😡

[Sophia Cope @scopesetic]

Really hate false advertising. On @Roku looking for a Charlie Brown Christmas. Roku says it’s free on the Rediscover Television app. So I download the app, set up an account (i.e., give them my personal info), and try to watch… but can’t watch without a paid subscription!

[Sophia Cope @scopesetic]

Oh, it’s “free” in the paid app?! 🤔
