Will the media televise trump dragging his cross to the steps of the Manhattan Courthouse?
The people who support Trump believe that Trump has been dragging that cross for us and for a long time now. For them it is all persecution by evil liberals. We are not over dramatizing this. This is their reality! Donald Trump is our savior. They now believe our government is run by corrupt democrats. They hate liberals. They hate the government. Fox news promotes this stuff every minute. All media can't seem to help themselves in escalating the hatred but Fox News has become the great promoter of hate. It is working as planned for them. The big question for me is why? Do they fear change that much or is it something else?

Once again you feel the need to lump everything together and try to even it out.

All news media is not hyping this, most are covering the historically relevant event that is a former POTUS being booked for crimes. Fox News is reporting that this is all just political payback.

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE "SIDES"

Yes but your words are suggesting there is a moral human difference based on a political "side". I disagree with that notion because humans are imperfect by nature. The fact that you and I believe that our political choices are "better" support that we are more likely to justify our own imperfections. The media is imperfect. Fox News is based on premeditated desire to incite hatred to keep viewers. You and I believe that but others do not. Does that make me a better human? No it does not.

Trump is an elite. He gets special privileges. He gets all his legal bills paid for by his supporters. Martha Stewart was arrested, handcuffed and jailed. Just yesterday Nikki Fried and Lauren Book were arrested, handcuffed and jailed for practicing their 1st amendment rights. Where is the national media? All on Donald Trump. I can not find any national media source that exposes the difference between men and women in terms of judicial privilege or any other privilege that men have over women. I hear trump supporters talk about the demon liberals elites in Washington every week. All I can say is wow what in the world has happened to us and all this BS. Yes ALL of us. Why in the hell does the Democratic Party not support the democratic leaders in Florida who happen to be women? Why in the hell do we Democrats not support basic human rights for women in Florida? Has Ron run off all the male Democrats? Or are they just hiding somewhere because I do not see men in Florida standing up for women's rights. It is embarrassing to see what Ron and his fragile ego has exposed regarding all of our male egos!

If we are not able to get rid of automatic weapons and seriously treat the mentally ill then I suggest we lock up our schools. We have to have solutions not memes and name calling. If we can not agree that something has to be done to protect our children then something is wrong with ALL of us. My position is that something has to be done and if we have to do it with Republicans and their automatic weapons then lets do it. I have the desire as much as anyone to say shame on anyone for supporting automatic weapons for sale to the public but that is not going to get anything done. Democrats will have to find another way. It's sad. It's wrong. But we have to get all the moral high ground words out of our system and then get to work and do something...

Martha Stewart is now selling Chardonnay. She was convicted of 19 crimes for avoiding tax losses of $45,000.00. She went to prison and paid over $150,000.00 in penalties. Her Chardonnay is labeled "19 crimes Martha's Chard ":) I would say her ego is not fragile!

GOP fundraiser says he got millions to illegally lobby Trump administration​

Source: Washington Post

Elliott Broidy, a former top Republican fundraiser who admitted to illegally lobbying the Trump administration on behalf of foreign nationals, described his actions publicly Tuesday for the first time, testifying in court about his failed attempts to quash a federal investigation of a Malaysian financier and to spur U.S. officials to extradite a wealthy Chinese dissident living in New York, whom Beijing had branded a criminal.

Although he could have pocketed up to $75 million if his efforts had succeeded, he told a federal jury, he wound up with far less: an $8 million retainer and a $1 million “appearance fee” for traveling to Thailand for a secret meeting.

Broidy, who pleaded guilty in 2020 to conspiring to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act and was later pardoned by President Donald Trump, is cooperating with the Justice Department in criminal cases involving Malaysian financier Low Taek Jho and his associates in the United States. Authorities say Low and others profited from the theft of $4.5 billion from Malaysia’s sovereign wealth fund.

… snip …

During the 2016 presidential campaign, Broidy, then a Los Angeles-based investor, helped corral big donors to support the Trump campaign. After Trump took office in 2017, Broidy was named deputy finance chairman of the Republican National Committee.

… snip …

Broidy expressed no clear remorse on the witness stand as he described the illegal lobbying in mostly clinical terms. Under questioning by a prosecutor, he repeatedly used phrases such as “business opportunity” and “the deal terms.” As for helping Low, he referred to leveraging “my relationships in the administration with the president and others who could be relevant.”
