Now lock his ass up

HOLY SHIT THEY DID IT

TRUMP HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH SEVEN COUNTS OF FEDERAL CRIMES

"Donald Trump said Thursday [June 8th] that he has been indicted on charges of mishandling classified documents at his Florida estate, igniting a federal prosecution that is arguably the most perilous of multiple legal threats against the former president as he seeks to reclaim the White House.

The Justice Department did not immediately publicly confirm the indictment. But two people familiar with the situation who were not authorized to discuss it publicly said that the indictment included seven criminal counts...

The indictment enmeshes the Justice Department in the most politically explosive prosecution in its long history. Its first case against a former president upends a Republican presidential primary that Trump is currently dominating, and any felony charges would raise the prospect of a yearslong prison sentence...

The indictment arises from a monthslong investigation by special counsel Jack Smith into whether Trump broke the law by holding onto hundreds of documents marked classified at his Palm Beach property, Mar-a-Lago, and whether Trump took steps to obstruct the government’s efforts to recover the records.

Prosecutors have said that Trump took roughly 300 classified documents to Mar-a-Lago after leaving the White House, including some 100 that were seized by the FBI last August in a search of the home that underscored the gravity of the Justice Department’s investigation...

The investigation had simmered for months before bursting into front-page news in remarkable fashion last August. That’s when FBI agents served a search warrant on Mar-a-Lago and removed 33 boxes containing classified records, including top-secret documents stashed in a storage room and desk drawer and commingled with personal belongings. Some records were so sensitive that investigators needed upgraded security clearances to review them, the Justice Department has said."

YYYEEESSS!!!!!! Sweet sweet joy!

Pics:

1. As usual, the Rump trumps other news stories - no matter how much more important these other stories might be.

His many cases are now the "Trials of the Century" - for how long they're taking to indict this criminal clown...

2. The economy might be great for the corporations but, expensive to the rest of us.

Worse, there's no end in sight!!

The Democrats need to win big at the polls, to be able to provide us with any real help...

We need to vote in as many Democrats (into high office) as possible.

Then, we can collect higher taxes from the illegal corporate price hikes - retroactively!!

And, use that money to help pay off the U.S. loans now owed...

Or, actually help the poor & homeless!

Or, prepare the U.S. infrastructure for that new "water fuel" (for cars).

Or, (write in something that our country truly needs)...

3 & 4. Texas & Florida are just some of the state governments infiltrated by the For Reich enablers.

They & other sycophants need to be charged for their various voting crimes, the January Insurrection & their racist behaviors as well.

5 & 6. And then, there's the Rump, whose criminal mug is now in most American homes - due to his endless news appearances.

His cry-baby tactics, rude court acts & many threats to others have, so far, been treated with monetary slaps on his wrist...

HELLO!!

We would all have been thrown into prison for our 1st or 2nd gag order infraction.

But no, the rich & powerful are usually treated with kid gloves in court...

And other places that they depend on.

7. In the end, we have what most of us will hopefully vote for; a total rejection of his Rumpness & enablers - due to the free peoples of the U.S.!!

Democratic voters have the numbers in their favor - if they bother to vote!

And, don't tell me that you don't 'like' Biden...

True.

All politicians need to be kept on a short leash.

But, Biden is, by far, the better man.

I'd vote for him if he was 100-years old & bedridden, rather than joining some criminal trying to overthrow our government.

The only way that Rump ever won the White House - was with help from our enemy, Russia.

tRump & his enablers are all traitors to our country & deserve to be executed!

What not to do:

1. Don't give in to voter fatigue & stay at home.

2. Don't vote for some fake '3rd Party' candidate trying to steal your vote for the Republikkkans.

Listen:

A. Your votes have never been quite as important as they are now...

B. Y'all literally hold the fate of the U.S. in your hands!

C. You're actually mightier than any President!!

So long as we can vote on each & every Election Day...

Exploring BRICS Expansion

Exploring BRICS expansion. On June 16, 2009, the 1st BRIC summit was held in Yekaterinburg, Russia, following a series of high-level meetings. The BRICS bloc was formed in response to the changing global economic landscape to encourage cooperation on common challenges to challenge the West's hegemony. South Africa joined the predecessor BRIC to form BRICS in 2010. The acronym BRICS refers to the powerful grouping of the world's leading emerging market economies, which include Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. Goldman Sachs economist Jim O'Neill coined the term "BRIC" or "the BRICs" in 2001 to describe fast-growing economies that he predicted would collectively dominate the global economy by 2050. Representatives from the BRICS emerging group gathered in Johannesburg for their 15th summit, the first in-person since the COVID-19 pandemic began. DOWNLOAD THE URBT NEWS APP BRICS Expansion The BRICS summit ended on a high note, with the alliance welcoming six new members. These meetings are generally held to improve the economic conditions of the BRICS countries. They also provide their leaders with the opportunity to collaborate on these efforts. When the delegations arrived in Johannesburg, all but one country had an initial list of candidates for membership. BRICS leaders have decided to invite six more countries to join their alliance. Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates have been invited to join BRICS. This is according to South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, who hosted a three-day meeting of the emerging markets group this week in Johannesburg. Their accession will take effect on January 1, 2024. "We value the interest of other countries in building a partnership with BRICS," Ramaphosa said. "We have tasked our Foreign Ministers to develop the BRICS partner country model further and a list of prospective partner countries and report by the next Summit." Russian President Vladimir Putin chose not to attend the summit because he faces arrest under a war crimes indictment issued by the International Criminal Court in The Hague for Russia's invasion of Ukraine. He chose to participate virtually instead, sending a video message. The decision to broaden the group reflects a lack of progress in deepening the existing BRICS alliance, which, despite accounting for one-third of global GDP, has diverging interests ranging from China's rise as a global superpower to India's nonalignment to Brazil's status as a farm exporter. Some new members, most notably Saudi Arabia and Iran, have a history of strained relations, with little prospect of coherence beyond strengthening the bloc's representation of the Middle East and Africa.

Exploring BRICS Expansion. Earlier this month, it was reported that more than 40 countries, including Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Argentina, Algeria, Bolivia, Indonesia, Egypt, Ethiopia, Cuba, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Comoros, Gabon, and Kazakhstan, had expressed interest in joining the forum, according to 2023 summit chair South Africa. The United States, Europe, and other Western allies are closely monitoring the BRICS expansion and de-dollarization agenda. The United States, Germany, and the European Union have responded to the recent BRICS expansion and de-dollarization efforts. A Word from the White House Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House Press Secretary, stated that the United States will not prevent other countries from selecting trading partners. She emphasized that the US's focus is on trade with all countries and that the US will not interfere in their internal affairs. "US policy does not ask our partners to choose between the United States and other countries. We have repeatedly emphasized that the US does not want to limit countries' partnerships with other countries. But we want countries to have choices on delivering results to their citizens as well," she said. Germany's Foreign Minister Speaks BRICS expansion does not concern Germany, according to Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock. BRICS expansion does not worry Berlin. She emphasized that all countries can form alliances based on their national interests. "In times like these, every country in the world is aware of the importance of cooperation and partnership," she said. "Every country must keep asking itself: Which partnership best suits its own values and interests? Which are of most benefit to it in the long run?" Baerbock stated that Germany has communication channels and trade agreements with all BRICS members except Iran. She also noted that the European Union is willing to partner with BRICS members. As a result, the BRICS expansion has had no effect on global markets for the United States and Germany. DOWNLOAD THE URBT NEWS APP BRICS: Exploring The Potential Exploring BRICS Expansion. The potential impact of BRICS includes strengthening economic integration within BRICS, reducing the influence of the US on the global stage, weakening the standing of the US dollar as a global reserve currency, implications for a more multipolar world economy, challenges and opportunities for the United States, impact on the US dollar’s value, BRICS expansion and economic changes, potential effects on global financial affairs, expert opinions and predictions, and potential implications for dollar denominated debt. Strengthening Economic Integration within BRICS A unified BRICS currency would undeniably strengthen economic cooperation among its member countries. The increased ease of trade and cross-border transactions may spur economic growth, fostering stronger ties and partnerships among the BRICS nations. Reducing the Influence of the US on the Global Stage The US dollar wields enormous power in international affairs. Introducing a BRICS currency could erode this dominance, putting the US's ability to use economic strength as a tool for geopolitical influence in jeopardy. Weakening the Standing of the US Dollar as a Global Reserve Currency Suppose BRICS nations choose to hold significant portions of their foreign reserves in their new currency. The US dollar's dominance as a global reserve currency may be challenged in that case. This shift could cause the dollar's value to fall, altering global trade dynamics. Implications for a More Multipolar World Economy The world may be undergoing a shift toward a more multipolar economic structure. Introducing a BRICS currency would diversify reserve currency options, paving the way for a more balanced and equitable global financial system. Challenges and Opportunities for the United States Suppose a BRICS reserve currency becomes a reality. In that case, the US may face diminished global influence challenges. Still, the actual impact will depend on various geopolitical and economic factors. Nonetheless, it may open up new trade and investment opportunities with BRICS nations, fostering mutual growth. Impact on the US Dollar’s Value The BRICS nations' collective decision to manage their vast foreign exchange reserves may have implications for the value of the US dollar. There are several possible outcomes, ranging from no impact to significant dollar depreciation. BRICS Expansion and Economic Changes Its economic and political clout will grow as the BRICS grouping expands to include more countries. Such an expansion could put the US's economic dominance under further strain. Potential Effects and Economic Changes The emergence of the BRICS currency can potentially restructure global financial systems. The implications could range from reshaping trade agreements to influencing the operations of international financial institutions. Expert Opinions and Predictions The academic and financial sectors have differing perspectives on the potential impact of the BRICS currency on the US economy. Experts are scrutinizing every detail of the evolving situation. Potential Implications for Dollar Denominated Debt Countries with significant dollar-denominated debts may see a BRICS currency as a way to alleviate their burdens. However, potential fluctuations in the value of the new currency could introduce risks. BRICS and the United Nations The BRICS have been vocal in their support for the UN architecture, viewing it as a means of mitigating the influence of 'Western' forms of intervention. In essence, they have all become key players in the UN system's operations. Analysts believe that while the BRICS nations' clout is likely to grow, the bloc is more likely to offer piecemeal economic and diplomatic alternatives to the US-led global order than to dramatically replace it. This could lead to more tensions with the West as the grouping's leaders seek to chart their own course in an uncertain world. However, in order to remain effective, the BRICS will need to manage the disparate priorities of its member countries, which will be a difficult challenge for the grouping to overcome. The Waiting Game This new environment gives the world's nations with relatively low economic and industrial development options for responding to rising tensions among major powers and positioning their countries amid excellent power competition. Prospective members are attracted to BRICS because they do not have to commit to an alliance. Experts say that tangible economic benefits may be some time away. Still, the symbolic benefit of joining an alliance separate from, or opposed to, Western interests is significant. DOWNLOAD THE URBT NEWS APP Exploring BRICS Expansion Read the full article

Only “Dirty Politics,” Not The Law, Can Stop Donald Trump

His lies will otherwise remain an effective political and legal tool

— United States | Lexington | August 02, 2023

On reading the latest criminal indictment of Donald Trump, this one for trying to overthrow a duly elected president, certain feelings return with renewed power, including that stomach-churning mix of wonder, dismay and exhaustion at the volume and absurdity of his lies about the 2020 election. But a surprising new sentiment stirs as well: Nostalgia. American politics seemed so much healthier back then.

After all, in a political test without precedent since the civil war, the centre held. In fact, the right held. Mr Trump’s vice-president, Mike Pence, stood up to him, as did others within the White House. Kevin McCarthy, the Republican leader in the House, said Mr Trump “bears responsibility” for the attack on the Capitol by “mob rioters”. That was a nice moment, in retrospect.

Even more inspiring, in states such as Arizona, Georgia, Michigan and Pennsylvania, unfamous Republican officials honoured their own integrity, without recourse to any other authority, and rebuffed the pleas and threats of a president they believed in. “Nobody wanted him to win more than me,” said Lee Chatfield, the speaker of the House in Michigan, in a statement quoted in the indictment, handed down on August 1st. “But I love our republic, too. I can’t fathom risking our norms, our traditions and institutions.” He added, “I fear we’d lose our country forever.”

Three years on, Mr Trump is in a stronger position, with a plausible path back to the White House—not despite his efforts to overturn the last election but because of them. He stuck to his lies, betting on his great gift for preying on others’ baser qualities. Even before Jack Smith, the special counsel investigating Mr Trump, brought the new charges, Mr McCarthy was trying to discredit them as an effort by Joe Biden to “weaponise government”.

On news of the indictment, Tucker Carlson’s replacement at Fox News, Jesse Watters, tweeted, “This is all politics and very well co-ordinated.” He was alleging a plot by Mr Biden to distract people from investigations into his son Hunter, but he was more aptly describing a plot by Mr Trump, who made his talking-points clear: that this prosecution is politically corrupt; that his claims were free speech protected by the Bill of Rights; and that, in any event, he was not lying, because he believed the election was stolen—because, of course, as he still insists, it was. He may need only to persuade one juror that he believes that, and he has sold plenty of shoddy products before. He is already at work degrading faith in the law as he previously degraded faith in the electoral system.

Mr Trump’s political strategy is his legal strategy, and vice versa. They reinforce each other by reinforcing delusions about Mr Trump that most Republicans believe, according to polls, including that he is the victim of conspirators out to protect their privileges from his insurgent politics. Mr Trump’s climb into his dominant position in the Republican field began in late March after his first indictment, on business-fraud charges in Manhattan.

The multiplying felony counts against him—78 so far, with more probably coming—are consuming his campaign funds, and Democrats hope they will distract him from the campaign trail. This is wishful thinking. In 2024 the Trump trials will be the trail. They will focus attention on him and his message of fearless challenge in the face of persecution.

What might break the spell? A conviction could shake even some Republican confidence that Mr Trump deserves to hold office again. But, as has been the case since Mr Trump’s political rise began, the surest protection against his return to the White House would be for other Republican leaders to tell the truth, as those state officials did after the 2020 election.

Some of Mr Trump’s long-shot rivals for the Republican nomination said the indictment showed Mr Trump was unfit for office. “Anyone who puts himself over the constitution should never be president of the United States,” Mr Pence said. But others fell in line or tried to sidestep the substance of the charges. Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, did the critical-race theorists proud by attacking the interlocking power structures oppressing Mr Trump. “Washington DC is a ‘swamp’ and it is unfair to have to stand trial before a jury that is reflective of the swamp mentality,” he wrote on Twitter. He called for systemic reform so Americans could move cases from Washington to their “home districts”.

The Real Reckoning Ahead

These Republicans are making the same mistake as many Democrats in hoping that the legal system will, in the end, stop Mr Trump. After the attack on the Capitol, Mitch McConnell, then as now the Senate Republican leader, held Mr Trump “practically and morally responsible”. But he voted to acquit Mr Trump on the impeachment charge of inciting an insurrection, saying the matter was better left to the justice system. That was a fateful choice. Outsourcing the problem of Donald Trump has simply exposed more American institutions to his corrosive power.

Democrats have a tough duty to discharge, as well. They should be as zealous as Republicans in demanding rigorous investigation of Hunter Biden’s business dealings. No evidence has surfaced suggesting President Biden profited from his son’s trading on the family name, and there is no moral equivalence between the younger Biden’s influence peddling, or illusion-of-influence peddling, and Mr Trump’s attempts to subvert democracy. But excusing Hunter Biden’s ugly practices and minimising his lawbreaking serve Mr Trump’s agenda by eroding faith in the impartial application of justice.

Mr Smith’s spare statement to the public on August 1st was a bracing reminder of all that was vulnerable on January 6th, and of the bravery of the law-enforcement officials who protected it. “They defended the very institutions and principles that define the United States,” he said. Now the rule of law is at stake, too, and it is up to politics to come to the rescue. ■
