Donald Trump’s fouth indictment just dropped – 32 bigly reactions
Donald Trump has been indicted for the fourth time this year.
He faces 13 counts relating to allegations of trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, including under the RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) Act, normally reserved for criminals such as Mafia members.
The DA of Fulton County, Georgia, Fani Willis, made the announcement.

Trump and 18 others on the 10 indictments have until noon on August 25th to hand themselves in,
Wow, DA Fani Willis is no joke: she is serious, sober, and all about taking care of business.
All defendants have until noon, Friday August 25th to surrender.
If I were trump, I'd be terrified.

Women’s World Cup or no Women’s World Cup – the trial could end up being the must-watch television event of the year.
Worth remembering tonight:
1) state crimes can’t be pardoned by a president in DC
2) in Georgia, even the GOP governor lacks the power to pardonOh and just for fun:
3) trials are televised in Georgia

To sum up – ‘Witch hunt …blah, blah, blah.’

Well, I guess all that’s that’s left for Republicans to consider abandoning Trump is the proverbial shooting on 5th Avenue. But when you’re a member of a twisted Cult, even that might not be enough.

In fairness, he's been the head of a criminal organization since the 1970s–this one just includes people who aren't actually members of his family.

Just imagining going back in time 20 years ago to explain to someone that Rudy Giuliani got indicted for attempting to overturn a presidential election on behalf of incumbent Donald Trump and Kanye West's publicist was a co-conspirator

Trump all but sets up a GoPro on his noggin to record him doing all his crimes but his fanboys will still go "an innocent hero has been persecuted" every time he's indicted. We just need to accept it. And enjoy the indictmenting.
