Garland/Smith used EVERY procedural available to SPEED the trials, it was ONLY those corrupt judges who clearly, indubitably, purposely STALLED all 4 trials for corrupt DJT. It had ZERO to do with Garland nor Smiths excellent prosecutorial skills. But Putin/Trump/GOP/Shyster Lawyers had tactics too.

Trump is online positively wailing about this picture, because he is weak and vain and cares exponentially more about himself than anything else. That said, if there is something Trump does not want America to see, that means it is probably something every American needs to see. Please share widely.

Tesla’s Cybertruck is flopping hard. The company sold just 5,385 units in the third quarter and a little over 16,000 so far in 2025—a far cry from the 250,000 Elon Musk once predicted would be sold annually.
