Ms. Willis stands as a true Patriot in a time of chaos and threats to our Democracy. She is brave, uncompromising, and admirable. She stands true to the oaths that she swore to, when being called to serve in this capacity. What a great role model for our young people, especially young girls. Her example should inspire the rest of us as well, to hold true to the values that this nation was founded on, to protect our democracy, and bring justice to those who would destroy it. 👏🇺🇸

The Judge today in court should have reminded him that 'No one is above the law' . This is why you have evidence which always proves if someone is guilty or not. He is not the US President so he can't hide behind that title anymore and run away from these cases.

I appreciate the story of your family, Lawrence. I have also received death threats for doing my job back in the late 90's. I wish I heard this story back then! :-)

The guy who wrote his first book for him, says he doubts trump has “ever” read a book! That he’s not capable! He’s like a kid with no attention span!! Couldn’t even read the National security briefing he was supposed to everyday! They had to dumb it down for him!

[@nancyjay790]

From what I read, his staff tried various things to induce Trump to read the briefing, including making several mentions of Trump by name and having many full color pictures. (Sigh.) This is the genius of MAGA, a guy who only recently (according to a speech he gave) figured out that the word "us" could be read when the acronym "US" is used.

[@jollyjime2560]

True. Cowardly behavior, especially after his speech after electoral votes were counted. He backed down. I think many of the moderate Republicans retiring/withdrawing from office now are giving up. They are literally terrified for their family’s safety as well as their own. Threats & intimidation are effective.
