Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis late Monday gave former President Trump and 18 co-defendants until Aug. 25 at noon to voluntarily surrender in Georgia following an indictment that unveiled multiple charges in connection to their attempts to interfere in the 2020 election.

    You people care more about some dumb ex-President then actually talking about serious issues happening in this country and it’s going to cost us the election next year

      The dumb ex-President will be running for reelection next year, so unfortunately we have to care about him

      You mean the guy who is still the expected Republican nominee for 2024, and at whose urging stochastic terrorism is on the rise, but who has yet to see any consequences for his actions nor any legal consequences that would bar him from holding office? That dumb ex-President?

      People can care about more than one thing at a time, you know.

      Trump is merely the latest Republican president to be caught cheating, though he did it in a spectacularly stupid and egregiously public way.

      We didn’t pursue charges the last two times this happened, and look where that got us.

      So it’s pretty weird that you don’t care to hold the man who is responsible for the first non-peaceful transition in the history of the presidency accountable for his attempt to deprive us of our right to select the people who represent us.

      … implying that some dumb ex-president attempting a self coup to prevent the lawful transfer of power isn’t a serious issue. Doubly so when he’s attempting to get back in office.

      Also, if you think going after obvious crimes will hurt the Democrats, I question your understanding of a lot of things.

      Just the current republican front runner. The republican party of criminals, white supremacists and traitors needs to be reminded that nobody is above the law.

      A serious issue happening in this country is that a president called up the secretary of state in Georgia and asked them to find more votes.
