I get asked "Why do liberals think Trump supporters are traitors?" a lot, so I thought I would put this 🧵 together.
Here's what Democrats and progressives honestly think about Trump supporters and Republicans today...

It's like dealing with cockroaches.
Some of the same people keep popping up everywhere, making nuisances out of themselves. They're election deniers and Q-nuts, of course. Unfortunately, they're somewhat powerful election deniers and Q-nuts with money.
No, idiot. You are in the cartel designed to destroy the established order of things, and the real battle is in your own addled mind. 🤦

The appeal to the State Duma concerned Russia’s failed invasion of Ukraine. [snip]
Smolinsky councilor Dmitriy Palyuga said that he and his colleagues would face charges on allegedly committing “actions aimed at discrediting the government.”
There are a few more details about the contents of the document in the article.
It seems likely that those who signed this are about to become political prisoners.
Absentee ballot
https://georgia.gov/vote-absentee-ballotTo vote by absentee ballot, you must first submit an absentee ballot application. You can do this online, by email, by mail, by fax, or in person.
You must submit your application for an absentee ballot by the deadline. Absentee ballots may be requested any time between 78 and 11 calendar days prior to Election Day. It’s important to request and return your absentee ballot early. This will give your ballot enough time to travel through the mail and resolve any issues that may arise when voting by absentee ballot.

A layman's level explanation of today's motion from DOJ
Clear, concise, easy to understand.

Well, this is terrifying. For those who don't do Twitter:
Nested within the tweet linked in the OP:
Roger Stone just posted this about me on Gab. It was his reply to one of my tweets (see post 2). I’m a mother who wants her kids to grow up in a democracy. He is a narcissistic power hungry sociopath who sold out his pro-choice, pro-LGBTQ beliefs for power. 1/

Thanks for posting this, Grasswire. Cohn is reporting on some big, bad stuff. It's upsetting that she feels so unsafe that she had to publicy warn people about it. I hope she'll be okay.
I've gone full circle on this.
My first reaction was that he should have been arrested the same day the search warrant was served, especially when the gravity of the situation was underscored by having to go get new people with high enough clearance to handle the level of classification found on some of the documents.
Then I thought, maybe DOJ is right. Wait until after the elections, so MAGA nuts have one less bone to wave around in the air with rage at the so-called injustice of it all. In the meantime they can go through everything and have a tight case ready to go as soon as the vote counts are in.
After this latest bombshell, I don't think waiting another moment is safe. What must our allies think? We are intelligence pariahs now, and rightly so. On their behalf (especially the country whose nuclear secrets were exposed) and for the sake of our own national security, he needs to be locked up yesterday.
The lack of clippings from November to January is another red flag. He kept clippings about himself for everything, all the time, we all know he did. He can't himself with an ego that big. So, where are they? Where are the documents that were tucked in with them?
At the very least, he should be sitting in an uncomfortable chair in an over-brightly lit room at this moment answering questions. If he chooses to "Fifth!" his way out of answering them, then perhaps he should take a vacation in a very secure little room while others fill in the details or until his memory improves.
People keep lending this jerk money. Ugh.

Trump’s business still has plenty of debt—an estimated $1.1 billion in all—but now most of it doesn’t come due until 2028 or later. Two loans that haven’t been refinanced—a $13 million mortgage against a property on Third Avenue in Manhattan and a $45 million loan against a tower in Chicago—mature in 2024. But neither of those should be too difficult to pay back. After all, Trump now has an estimated $375 million in cash on hand, more than three times the sum he had at any point during his presidency, thanks to the spate of dealmaking.
More details on how it was done are in the article. Briefly mentioned is a bank called Axos, discussed in more depth in the article posted by FBaggins above.
A Labor Day moment from Frasier.
https://twitter.com/kendrawcandraw/status/1566829435785023488Frasier and Roz are in the studio at the radio station, one in each room with a glass window between them.
On his side of the window, Frazier is scowling and holding a piece of paper against the glass that says, "You're FIRED"
Roz responds with a smug smile and holds up a manila folder printed with, "I'M UNION"
Happy Labor Day!
There's an argument to be made that while tfg is not on the ballot,
many of his hand picked darlings are, and arresting him before the midterms could juice support for them. He would find a way to broadcast his mewling protests from jail and turn the elections on their head.
Personally, I wish he'd been arrested the same day as the search took place given all of the evidence gathered, but until there is an indictment that's not going to happen.
All hell is going to break loose when he is arrested, regardless of the timing. Leaving him to twist in the wind until after the midterms may be a blessing in disguise.
