Can we get 20,000 people outside of the court next Tue. to chant "Lock him up" starting at 2 PM?

Who knows which court will Trump's arraignment be held at? I am assuming it will be in a NY state court
in Manhattan

Come DU take this viral. I want Trump and the court to hear it from the people. I want Trump to see
what the people of NYC really think of him. I want the ground to shake. I want HRC there leading the
people in "the cheering for Trump" and if the sidewalks have too many people around the court the over-
flow crowd can go to the News Corp (Fox News) building. Or maybe meet there around 10:30 AM and then
March to the Court House.

We need to get the pink pussy hat pissed off ladies group on board w/this.



And David Hogg's March for our lives people too.

Media-ite: Trump Goes On Manic Posting Bender After Indictment--Including 3 AM Hunter Biden Shoutout

Trump will have the worst weekend of his life this weekend and it will only get worse after that.
I know I am a bitter person but I hope he is suffering. The man has done so much damage to the
world including his response to the C-19 pandemic that world wide has killed 14 million and that #
covers those who died and were not diagnosed with it and all those people who died because they
could not the medical care they needed because the hospitals and Dr.'s offices were filled up with
C-19 cases.

************

But so did Trump, who reacted in short order with a lengthy statement lashing out in familiar language about persecution and attacking Bragg, as well as President Joe Biden.

“The Democrats have lied, cheated and stolen in their obsession with trying to ‘Get Trump,’ but now they’ve done the unthinkable,” Trump wrote, and concluded his 319-word screed by promising “our Movement, and our Party – united and strong -will first defeat Alvin Bragg, and then we will defeat Joe Biden, and we are going to throw every last one of these Crooked Democrats out of office so we can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Trump then spent all night and all Friday morning putting out a blizzard of posts on his Truth Social account that even included a post at 2:46 AM that included a 2-word reference to the president’s son: “WHERE’S HUNTER?”

According to CNN Law Enforcement analyst John Miller Trump has been criminally indicted on a whopping 34 counts, and CNN also reports that “the Secret Service is preparing to bring the former president to his court appearance on Tuesday in Manhattan,” where he will be booked, fingerprinted, photographed, and arraigned.

So did Allen Weisselberg flip on Donny?

"Donald Trump faces more than 30 counts related to business fraud."*

Former Trump Organization exec Allen Weisselberg cuts ties with attorneys

Former Trump financial chief Allen Weisselberg cut ties with defense lawyers at the urging of the former president’s firm in the face of mounting concerns the attorneys were willing to entertain overtures from Manhattan prosecutors seeking the executive’s cooperation in their investigation of Donald Trump, two people familiar with the matter said Thursday.

The move comes as a Manhattan grand jury is believed to be nearing a decision on whether to charge the former president in a long-running investigation into a $130,000 payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the final weeks of the 2016 presidential campaign to silence her about an alleged affair years earlier.

Weisselberg is viewed as a pivotal witness in that inquiry in which former Trump attorney Michael Cohen has asserted that Trump directed Cohen and Weisselberg to arrange the payment.

The plea bargain, according to one source familiar with the matter, first ignited a rift between the Gravante legal team – which was paid by the Trump Organization – and Trump firm officials who objected to a defense decision to allow prosecutors to prepare Weisselberg for his testimony before he appeared in court.

This was in MY NEIGHBORHOOD last Christmas. Columbus, OH (Clintonville)

This is a national problem. Time to ban those AR, AK, and M-16s. When is enough enough?



These proud boys came from up to 500 miles away to stop a local church from having
a Christmas party for little children that had some drag queens reading CHRISTMAS STORIES
to the children.

FYI Xercis Society (good people) For Pollinators' Sakes, Don't Spring into Garden Cleanup Too Soon!

For Pollinators' Sakes, Don’t Spring into Garden Cleanup Too Soon!
By Justin Wheeler on 16. March 2023

Spring is here. A time when warmer weather naturally turns a winter-weary homeowner’s thoughts towards tackling outdoor chores. The first warm weather of the season may coax us out into the yard, but pollinators in your garden aren’t ready to take a chance on the first warm day.

Chrysalides still cling to last season’s dried standing plant material. While you may begin to see bumble bees and ground-nesting bees emerge as flowering trees and shrubs burst into bloom, they still need cover during chilly nights and heavy spring showers. While mining bees, mason bees, carpenter bees, and bumble bees may be out and about by early April, other species such as sweat bees are still hiding out, waiting for the warmer days that arrive in May. Meanwhile, last year’s leaf litter is still providing protection for both plants and invertebrates against late-season frosts.

So when is the right time to unleash your itchy green thumbs and reach for the rake? Unfortunately there isn’t a hard and fast answer to this question, and the exact date will vary based upon where you are in the country. To offer some guidance, consider asking yourself the following questions.

Georgia bill is latest GOP effort targeting prosecutors

Source: AP

ATLANTA (AP) — A new Georgia commission to discipline and remove wayward prosecutors would be the latest move nationwide to ratchet up oversight on what Republicans see as “woke prosecutors” who aren’t doing enough to fight crime.

The Georgia House voted 97-77 on Monday for Senate Bill 92 to create the commission. The Senate later sent the measure to Republican Gov. Brian Kemp for his signature or veto. Kemp has previously voiced support for the concept.

Carissa Hessick, a law professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said the Republican push tries to reverse a sea change in prosecution. Hessick, who directs the Prosecutors and Politics Project, said that for the first time voters are confronted with meaningful debate about prosecutors’ policies.

snip

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has decried the measure, claiming it’s a racist attack after voters elected 14 nonwhite district attorneys in Georgia in 2020. Willis pushed herself to the center of the controversy even as she’s mulling charges against former President Donald Trump for interfering in Georgia’s 2020 election. Some have viewed it as Republican retribution against the Atlanta prosecutor.

"They" know Trump is guilty, they know that people in Georgia tried to sign up as un-elected
electors to present false ballots to change the outcome of the 2020 Presidential elections
which is illegal, and they don't give a shit about the rule of law. "They" don't want certain people
to vote or have their votes counted.

This is a Christo-Fascist move by people who can't accept the legal outcome to elections.

"The effort was born from frustrations involving a white Republican prosecutor in suburban Atlanta who was indicted for bribery related to sexual harassment claims. He lingered until he pleaded guilty to unprofessional conduct and resigned in 2022."
