Why is Trump not in jail?

Republicans have shown they can't fix their Trump problem. They created a permission structure for him and waved him on. Trump is not going away until Republicans are defeated.

Americans like Liz Cheney somehow have to find the courage and take the responsibility to vote Democratic to protect and save our fundamental rights. Not until then can the Republican Party be rebuilt.

Abraham Lincoln was NOT a third party candidate.    
The Republican Party was founded in 1854.    
The Republican Party approved a platform at the 1856 National Republican Convention.
November 6, 1860 Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican to be elected President.

We need a mandate for democracy in 2024.

In the face of extremism are Americans able to vote for freedom?        
The responsibility to protect and save our fundamental rights is ours.

Already in 2024 take a look at what's happening at the Republican National Committee.

Democracy has to be defended around the world.

      "Let  People  Eat"      
     Chef  Jose'  Andres',  New York Times, April 3, 2024
      World Central Kitchen, Founder
      ("When people are hungry, send in cooks.")

There is global outrage about the Israeli strikes that killed World Central Kitchen workers.      
I implore my Jewish friends to communicate their expectation that Netanyahu follow Military Rules of Engagement.

Chef Jose' Andres' rejects Netanyahu's disingenuous explanation (excuse) that "oops" these things happen in war. Jose' Andres' has evidence that Israel targeted his World Central Kitchen aid workers "systematically, car by car."

Outrage is not a sufficient response by the American government. It's way past time for the U.S. to demand accountability from Netanyahu. 
Why is President Biden not seeking counsel from Senator Bernie Sanders and a growing number of Senators and from U.S. State Department officers who have resigned?

   Stop sending U.S. bombs to Israel.

World Central Kitchen and many Western nations are calling for an independent, third party investigation into the IDF strikes that targeted and killed WCK aid workers.

There is an alarming effort to knock down the separation of church and state in the U.S.          
Trump has ramped up his religious messaging;          
at a rally in Green Bay, WI, he declared that Election Day this year is going to be called "Christian visibility day when Christians turn out in numbers nobody has seen before."        
MAGA Republicans and MAGA pastors are leaning into Christian nationalism to shape public policies.

To the contrary mainline Christian clergy and their congregations value the separation of church and state.

Can late night hosts help us digest some of this Trump trial with humor?

  Inside a courtroom is not a place for politics.

We sought aid from France in our fight for independence from the British Empire.  
Speaker Mike Johnson has grown with the weight of his office and he allowed the House to vote for aid for Ukraine's fight for independence from Putin's dream to restore the Russian Empire.

   Yikes! the trial is ground zero for fake news.

How absolutely depressing to hear SCOTUS protect Trump today.      
The conservative justices did not want to "dwell" on facts.      
They showed no good faith.

Jordan Klepper on the Daily Show asked:         
"Has Trump ever considered paying himself hush money?"

After Trump seemed to fall asleep in court,          
Jimmy Kimmel said it was "nice to see even Donald Trump is exhausted by Donald Trump."

Donald Trump takes up way too much space and energy. He's noisy even when he's being hushed.

Years ago photographer Platon asked Donald Trump: "How do you weather the storm?"

Trump, in an usually calm voice, said: "I am the storm."

Donald Trump easily navigates through the frenetic, crazy energy that is around him wherever he goes, whatever he does, whatever he says because he is the person creating the madness.          
It is us who cannot cope with the chaos around him.

     The best comedy is grounded in the truth.        
   A grown man is running against a 6 year old in '24.

   Ask Colin Jost how to explain the inexplicable?
