The motion also included new details on how Trump’s relationship with Pence deteriorated, with the former vice-president telling Trump to stop repeating false election fraud theories and move on.

The documents released on Friday include transcripts of interviews with the 6 January House committee that investigated the US Capitol riot, parts of Pence’s autobiography and fundraising emails sent to voters.

It is unclear if the 6 January case will ever go to trial. Trump is expected to end the prosecution if he returns to the White House.

He is facing several other criminal cases. He already has been convicted on 34 felony counts in New York in relation to a hush-money payment.

    He is facing several other criminal cases. He already has been convicted on 34 felony counts in New York in relation to a hush-money payment [in his election interference case].

    We are 8 years into this and the media still constantly tries to downplay what this shithead tried to do to the American people in his neverending quest of greed and narcissism.

      Yet he is looking at 50% of the votes. “The people deserve the shithead they elect”.

        hes never won the popular vote. hes gamed the electoral college which was designed to give those backwoods, propaganda-driven zombies outsized power.

            only 60% of people who can vote, do. and he got 45% of that.

            that is why everyone is yelling ‘vote!’ from the rooftops.

              Yeah I know, but that doesn’t change the fact that there’s a significant amount of people missing a brain… Not that I can do anything about it. And it’s not that europe is way better in this regard with the rise of right-wing-populism (but Trump is just idiocracy level).

                a huge part is the passive propaganda machine in the southern united states. its fox news, 24/7 everywhere you go. every waiting room. every bar. for many this is their sole ‘news’ outlet.

                you repeat a lie enough to a person, they will accept it as fact. these people readily admit, ‘there are 5 lights!’

                  Seemingly, it’s sad. I just cannot fathom this, to me when someone is repeating lies I just declare him idiot. What I find concerning is the level, i.e. they don’t accept logic facts and seemingly once that downward-spiral occured they cannot get out of their screwed conception of the world. I begin to “understand” why Nazis back then had success with what they did…

                    It’s because you care more about the truth than being accepted as part of the group. Humans are wired to value being accepted, generally, so most people fall for the idea that consensus is a fact-based exercise.

          Bad excuse. Today, Harris 48%, Trunk 46%. That is only a ffing 2% difference.

          The USA deserves the shithead they elect.

        At lest 50% of the people are not going to vote for him regardless of what the electoral college ends up deciding.

        The people don’t deserve what the Constitution mandates and they have no way of changing. The incredibly popular Equal Rights Amendment never passed. It had massive public support. Politicians didn’t give a shit because most of them were men. And still are.
