Oh, I don't know, Oliver. Let's rely on Our Liberal Media to tell the story of Trump's legal woes, shall we? That way, we can keep our powder dry and have it available when we really need it.

No sense alarming the American people on their summer vacations down the shore, right?

God forbid we bother people in the Hamptons with our silly issues.

It passes me off to see sitting members of Congress, including the Speaker of the House, all of whom have sworn to uphold the Constitution, go to the courthouse to loudly echo this private citizen guy's lies, cons, and publically support his criminality, and there be no blowback from...anywhere.

Did you see Dark Brandon's zinger inviting tRump to the debates, saying he's free on Wednesdays?😆😎

Given he referred specifically to that in his article, I’m sure Oliver saw it. In fact, he’s spent several sentences taking issue with it.

Oh I guess I missed it. The headline seemed to suggest otherwise.

Thats why you have to read more than just the headline, Lorraine.

In this case, all the way to the (checks article) second paragraph.

Or they should do better headlines. I read everything. But if it's bullshit doomsday I won't bother.

Is it fair to blame the headline for your failure to read past the headline before commenting?

Agreed. This is a horrible headline. I read every single piece unless it's doomsday bullshit spin. I have no time for that.

If you think Americans aren't "tracking" Trump's trial, or the election, then I guess Substack is a failure.

Besides, the election is 6 months away, and people have other things to think about until then. This is how it's always been.

“God knows what else he used the presidency for in the past and what he would do again.”

We know exactly what he would do again, do if elected. He’s been telling us directly. Not with euphemisms, equivocations, or dog whistles, but with straight out blatant statements.

And that should also be called out, with a similar lack of euphemism or equivocations, every single day.

Forcefully. Directly. Relentlessly. Constantly.

Do we all notice how crass counselor Blanche looks? Wonder what's with the Cohen's cross exam and bringing out the Drumfp nicknames, even his own nickname, not helpful points, in court and to get it all documented?

It would be most helpful to share this wisdom with the representatives like Mr. Raskin, Mr. Goldman, Mr

Maskcowicz, Ms. Crockett, who are not shy to speak the truth.

More importantly the ones running for house and Senate in all but atleast battleground states put this message in their campaigns as this message is crucial on state level. Hopefully the notrupers will run with it. The sensible voters know how inspite of rethugs blocking everything, and what Biden presidency has achieved and loudly announcing what more they're working on to better ALL American's lives.

Media is focused on all the negativity but Democratic representatives, current and future can tackle this.
