The former Hawaii congresswoman delivered a full-throated call to vote for Trump—a man she had once tried to run against as a Democrat.

    If this was 2018 I’d probably agree with you, but it’s 2024 now and we have an encyclopedias worth of evidence of why Trump is a dangerous human being. If you eat fox News propaganda I can forgive it to some extent. But Tulsi should know better and deserves to be shit on because there very likely is an ulterior motive here that she’s not being honest about.

      Could you point me to these encyclopedias? because last I checked the man hasnt been doing half the shit people accuse him of - and he is notoriously taken out of context.

        Again, if this was 2018 I’d probably agree with you. But here is a taste since you asked:

        Washington, D.C.
        4 federal felonies
        January 6th Election Interference
        Investigation
        Indictment
        Arrest  <- You Are Here
        Trial - The trial, originally scheduled for March 4th, had been placed on hold pending the Supreme Court ruling on Presidential Immunity.

        The Supreme Court ruled that the President does enjoy limited immunity for “official acts”, it now returns to lower court to determine what, if any, of his acts leading up to 1/6 were “official”.

        https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/01/politics/supreme-court-donald-trump-immunity/index.html

        On 8/27, a new federal grand jury re-indicted Trump on all four counts in a hearing this time excluding evidence barred by the Supreme Court.

        https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/trump-indicted-federal-election-interference-case-supreme-court-immuni-rcna168503

        Previously, Jack Smith had asked for a delay until 8/30 to determine a path forward, it would seem this new indictment is the path.

        New York
        34 state felonies
        Stormy Daniels Payoff

        Arrest
        Trial
        Conviction <- You Are Here Guilty, all 34 counts.
        Sentencing - Originally scheduled for July 11, 2024, now delayed until September 18th following the Supreme Court’s ruling on Presidential immunity.

        Georgia
        10 state felonies
        Election Interference
        As of 3/13/24 - Judge McAfee cleared 6 charges, 3 against Trump, saying they were too generic to be enforced.
        As of 3/15/24 - The case may proceed, but either Fulton County DA, Fani Willis and her office or Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade must remove themselves due to the appearance of impropriety.
        Investigation
        Indictment
        Arrest <- You Are Here
        All 19 defendants have surrendered. n Trial - October 4th, 2024 hearing has been set to determine if Fani Willis can remain on the case.
        Three defendants, Kenneth Chesebro, Sidney Powell, and bail bondsman Scott Hall, have all pled guilty and have agreed to testify in other cases.
        Conviction
        Sentencing

        Florida
        40 federal felonies
        Top Secret Documents charges
        Investigation
        Indictment
        Original indictment was for 37 felonies.
        3 new felonies were added on July 27, 2023.
        Arrest <- You Are Here
        Trial - The trial had been set to begin May 20, 2024, but was subsequently delayed indefinitely by the judge, and has now been dismissed outright under the claims that the prosecutor was not Constitutionally appointed.

        Jack Smith appealed Judge Cannon’s ruling on Monday, 8/26 to the 11th circuit.

        Conviction
        Sentencing

        Other grand juries, such as for the documents at Bedminster, or the Arizona fake electors, have not been announced.

        The E. Jean Carroll trial for sexual assault and defamation where Trump was found liable and ordered to pay $5 million before immediately defaming her again resulting in a demand for $10 million is not listed as it’s a civil case and not a crimimal one. He was found liable in that case for $83.3 million.

        There had been multiple cases in multiple states to remove Trump from the ballot, citing ineligibility under the 14th amendment.

        The Supreme Court ruled on March 4th that states do not have the ability to determine eligibility in Federal elections.
