Trump’s federal criminal trial for efforts to overturn the 2020 election has been scheduled by Judge Chutkan for March 4, 2024.

This is tremendously important for our democracy.

@georgetakei My birthday is that month, maybe I'll get an awesome present.
@anubis2814 @georgetakei I am so, so very much wishing you a happy birthday, like you don’t even know. I hope you get everything you’ve ever wanted. EVERY 👏🏽 FRIGGIN 👏🏽 THING 👏🏽 Like, I don’t care who has to go to prison for your happiness, I’m serious. 🎁🍊
@georgetakei They need to implement Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, immediately, to bar that bloviated fascist from running for President again.
@TacticalGrace_ @georgetakei My hope is if/when he's convicted in March, that's a lawsuit that can be brought before all attorney generals in all 50 states. Which will be hilarious to watch Republican heads explode that the Constitution - actually matters.
@georgetakei Super Tuesday?
@Toadman628 The day before Super Tuesday. Justice has a fantastic sense of humor!

@georgetakei
You are correct. 45's trail is important.

I ask that we not overlook how during this process, 45 is getting special treatment. If an ordinary person turned themselves in to authorities then our processing would take hours and in some instances days. 45 went through processing at Fulton County Jail in 20 minutes.

@ballista11 @georgetakei that's not special treatment for him. You don't want that media circus jamming up the works. Better to get him in and out quick. Random schmo isn't going to have every news outlet in the world with a van outside.
@ballista11 @georgetakei He also got special treatment in the documents case. If any of us had even 1% of those documents lying around our bathrooms, I guarantee we wouldn't be posting on social media while awaiting trial right now. We'd have been dragged off to jail ASAP and would barely have access to a lawyer (and zero access to social media) until our trial date.
@georgetakei Why so late? Seems kinda sus, don'tcha think? That trial should be held in 2023.
@georgetakei That’s the *federal* criminal trial for efforts to overturn the 2020 election, and not the *state* criminal trial (in Georgia) for efforts to overturn the 2020 election…

@georgetakei

That's all I want for my Birthday!

@georgetakei why?
We’re a Republic
You leftists crack me up

@georgetakei @GlayNation Do you know what the real difference between a democracy and a republic is?

One uses a Greek-derived word, and the other uses Latin.

@GlayNation
You right wingers with your "We are a Republic nonsense" crack me up. Please, I hope the word "democracy" never crosses your lips. Because it is obvious that right wingers despise actual democracy. Right wingers despise having anyone being held accountable by the people.

@GlayNation Also please explain how supporting a criminal con man has anything to do with what we call our country.

Also, are you actually in Germany?

@BluesHarp not in Germany.
Yes Joe Biden is a conman.
I don’t support him. Thanks for asking.

@GlayNation
LOL. Thanks for the laugh. Now time to get back to your cult...

Also remind me how many indictments Joe has received since he has been in office. The answer to that is zero. Meanwhile, some old orange man who claims to be a biilionaire is hawking crappy T-shirts with his mugshot on it to pay his legal expenses...

@georgetakei Ill take it, but it should be no more than 70 days. Lets not pretend he needs that much time to lose.
@georgetakei I like Chutkan's sense of irony in choosing March 4.
