Trump was back on Twitter to post this. That is probably his biggest sign of weakness yet.

The true sociopath test is to look for the ones that are smiling in a booking photo, it's an indictment, not senior prom.

Apparently, Trump’s aides filled out his arrest intake form in advance, hence the description of him being 6ft3 and 215 pounds, almost 30 pounds lighter than his early days in the White House and his shade of hair being described as strawberry blond, instead of a weird shade of cotton candy most likely found at the oddities section at an old-time county fair or traveling circus.

Hard to believe this incident was once seen as out of the norm. 

Anyway, I'm sorry to his family.

Normally, I am not one to post memes but this image struck me as a perfect illustration of DeSantis as a governor, as a presidential candidate and well, as a human being, in general.

This is over, but the GOP will prop him up like a Potemkin village if they can.

That's so hard to watch - the fear and confusion in his eyes. I notice again how gracious many, especially in the press, have been to him in these circumstances compared to Dianne Feinstein.

Mitch should at least give up his speakership.  I actually feel empathy for a man that I have hated for years.

Not me. This man has spent his life trying to destroy our democracy and advance the cause of white supremacy. He is directly responsible for harm done to millions of people in this country. He's made it clear that he will happily spend his every last breath in service of evil. He's earned this pain and I'm happy that I get a chance to watch.

"The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.” 

[!@#$%^&*] him. I hope to see Barack and Michelle dance on his grave to "At Last."

Agreed. No sympathy. Someone put this man to pasture; he looks like a damn fool with his "I'm just light headed" "I didn't eat" whatever B.S. his team is feeding to the media who eats it right up. Die on the spot next time. #sorrynotsorry

Zero pity.

The GOP is only performing at sympathy anyway. They would gladly feature McConnell in their own version of “Weekend At Bernie’s” if he can carry on their bidding. He is probably more useful to them now than he ever was before. The people of Kentucky continued to keep him in office in the first place so I’m not sure where their thoughts are on all this.

On another note, I can observe that the trolls and bots in blackface have already descended upon Elon Musty’s Twitter, likely hoping to trick people into believing they are actual Black posters, just ahead of election season.
