171. This is my all-time favorite DU thread! Did anyone see Rep. Jamie Raskin on MSNBC yesterday? He was glowing!

Fri May 31, 2024, 08:10 AM

May 2024

Seeing his wonderful, sweet face just LIT UP with happiness before he even began to speak almost brought me to tears of joy.

What a glorious day yesterday was and continues to be!

About Trump going to prison, that would be so unjust if he got probation instead of jail time after his co-conspirator Michael Cohen, who did the same crime and at the direction of Trump, went to prison. Trump deserves more prison time than Cohen, not less or no prison time.

It's waaaaaay past time to stop treating Trump like a real president or real former president and start treating him like the conman criminal fraudster he really is. In light of the jury's verdict yesterday, Trump stole the 2016 election so he was never really president and now, he never will be again.

And by the way, THANK YOU, JURORS!!!!! You have done nothing less than save democracy!!!
