Manhattan prosecutor who resigned says Trump committed felonies

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/23/nyregion/trump-investigation-felony-resignation-pomerantz.html


Was Bragg paid off to not prosecute Trump? This is seriously corrupt and I'm so angry. Trump is a criminal and nobody will prosecute him.

Another mass shooting, this time in Arkansas

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/many-10-injured-shooting-arkansas-car-show-state-police-say-rcna20761

Gun violence was bad, but it seems to have escalated massively in the past couple months. Every single day now I see national news stories on big shootings.

This doesn't happen anywhere else in the developed world, and the evidence proves gun laws work. The lowest gun violence in America is all in blue states. The highest gun violence is all in red states.

And yet Texas and Ohio just passed bills further eliminating gun laws.

This country is truly sick and depraved. I hate it here.

Jan 6 committee has determined Trump committed crimes

The Jan. 6 select committee says its evidence has shown that then-President Donald Trump and his campaign tried to illegally obstruct Congress’ counting of electoral votes and “engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States.”

In a major release of its findings, filed in federal court late Wednesday, the committee suggested its evidence supported findings that Trump himself violated multiple laws by attempting to prevent Congress from certifying his defeat.

Germany seizes Oligarchs $600 million mega-yacht

https://www.forbes.com/sites/giacomotognini/2022/03/02/germans-seize-russian-billionaire-alisher-usmanovs-mega-yacht/?utm_source=ForbesMainTwitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=socialflowForbesMainTwitter&sh=1b27889552dd

Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov was sanctioned by the European Union on Monday. Two days later, Forbes has learned from three sources in the yacht industry that one of his prized possessions—the 512-foot yacht Dilbar, valued at nearly $600 million—has been seized by German authorities in the northern city of Hamburg.


Usmanov purchased Dilbar in 2016 for a reported cost of $600 million from German shipbuilder Lürssen, which custom-built it for him over 52 months. The firm calls it "one of the most complex and challenging yachts ever built, in terms of both dimensions and technology." At 15,917 tons, it's the world's largest motor yacht by gross tonnage, and is typically manned by a crew of 96 people. Dilbar boasts the largest swimming pool ever installed on a yacht as well as two helicopter pads, a sauna, a beauty salon, and a gym. Its plush interiors have more than 1,000 sofa cushions and it can host up to 24 people in 12 suites.

McCarthy vows to give Greene and Gosar prime committee assignments.

He tweeted it. If Republicans win the House next year, he not only plans on putting them back on committees, he plans on giving them top committees. Can you imagine how terrifying it would be to have MTG on the Intelligence committee?

McCarthy is openly embracing terrorists and white supremacists.

Paul Gosar Censured and removed from committees.

Cheney and Kinzinger were the only 2 Republicans to vote with the Democrats, meaning 207 Republicans endorsed threatening to kill their colleagues in Congress.

I seriously don't know how we fix this country when an entire political party is a domestic terrorist organization bent on destroying America and killing people.

NC Legislature just seated an insurrectionist. Dems walk out.

What is the DoJ doing? We have insurrectionists getting seated on state legislatures. At least 6 of them are running for Congress next year.

Illinois redistricting map coming out soon.

Looks like Adam Kinzinger and Rodney Davis will lose their seats. I say good. As long as the SCOTUS allows partisan gerrymandering and Republicans are using it to their massive advantage, Dems need to do the same or we have no chance at keeping the House. I hope New York goes hard too - they can eliminate 5 GOP seats.
