Vile Trump thugs are despicable.

Via Ryan J. Reilly:

BREAKING: more than 11 years in federal prison for defendant / conspiracy theorist Alan Hostetter, who repeatedly praised Vivek Ramaswamy today.

He also said Ashli Babbitt’s death was faked, which pissed off Ashli Babbitt’s mother.

“I assure you she is dead,” Babbitt’s mom told him as he left court. “What the fuck is it your trying to say?”

“Was she cremated?” he asked.

“You need help,” she said. “Arrogant shit.”

Rep Jamie Raskin on House GOP release of sliver of video

“They can ransack these tapes for scenes of people walking down hallway without assaulting police. I'm sure they'll find them. That doesn't mean 140 police officers weren’t injured.. in the brutal assault”

You could show 9/11 hijackers 45 min before they took over the plane & directed it into Twin Towers, sitting munching peanuts & drinking ginger ale. But that doesn't mean that what happened didn't happen”

It’s finally happened. Trump’s business empire is on the verge of total ruin as his decades-long practice of fraudulently inflating his property values led a NY judge to CANCEL the business certificates of the Trump Organization entities.

Kudos to NY Attorney General Letitia James for bringing this all to light and achieving accountability against Trump. He’s a fraud. He’s a rapist. And he’s a clear and present danger to our democracy.

But justice has caught up to him, and it is glorious to see.

Eric T**** posted on his father's social media site this it should be perfectly legal to commit massive (bank) as long as people benefit from that fraud.

Is there ANY question this is EXACTLY what his father was thinking when he orchestrated ? 🤔

is speaking. He's trying to sound humble, apologetic, respectful of cops, blah blah.

Amazing how they all "change" magically in front of a judge during sentencing.

Trump’s mugshot is really nothing special, in one sense, and in line with traditional mug shots.

But the full importance of the photo of the former president is yet to be realized.

“A mugshot won’t make Trump’s supporters think he’s a criminal, but it might encourage future generations to come to that conclusion,” writes a police photography expert, who gives us a brief pop cultural history of mugshots

Welp!

Via Scott MacFarlane:

!! Walking out of courtroom after sentencing, Proud Boy Domenic Pezzola lifts his fist and yells "TRUMP WON"

Nearly in tears, Pezzola minutes earlier told the judge he'd given up politics

(Judge was no longer in courtroom when Pezzola made the outburst)

Pezzola had just been sentenced to 10 years in prison

Wow.

Via Scott MacFarlane:

The jury in this Capitol riot trial wrote a note to the judge indicating they're concerned about the safety of their personal information

And here's the response from Judge Trevor McFadden.

Judges -- including Judge -- have openly remarked that court personnel get threats, while handling cases

& certainly-- some of us journalists experience harassment.

This note is quite striking
