Here is Trump's spawn using the NY is a crime hellscape claim to deflect from his father's criminality. Normal people laugh at this idiocy but it works on the right wingers.
Eric Trump: I went into literally CVS yesterday and you can’t buy Tylenol because it’s locked behind these glass counters… but yet their attention is going after Donald Trump
I'm sure it's nothing. Republicans, keep talking about Hunter's laptop.

Wealth funds in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar have invested hundreds of millions of dollars with Jared Kushner’s private equity firm, according to people with knowledge of the transactions, joining Saudi Arabia in backing the venture launched by former President Donald J. Trump’s son-in-law as he left the White House.
The infusion of money from interests in the two rival Persian Gulf monarchies reflects the continued efforts by Mr. Trump and his aides and allies to profit from the close ties they built to the Arab world during his presidency and the desire of leaders in the region to remain on good terms with Mr. Kushner as his father-in-law seeks the presidency again.
Top Emirati officials have a close relationship with Mr. Kushner, forged during the Trump administration. And the Kushner family has previously benefited from Qatari funds. A Qatar-linked company helped bail out the Kushners’ debt-ridden tower in midtown Manhattan, 666 Fifth Avenue, during the Trump presidency.
But despite these relationships, Emirati and Qatari officials were at first reluctant to invest in Mr. Kushner’s private equity fund, at least in part because of the political risks involved, according to people familiar with both governments’ internal deliberations. The Times previously reported that Qatari officials feared they would face unfavorable treatment if they turned down Mr. Kushner’s invitation to invest and Mr. Trump returned to power.
After a brief lull of law-abiding behavior, the ‘law and order conservatives’ are getting their stride back. Like a bad couple miles in a marathon. But they are rallying to former levels of shame.

A federal jury on Friday convicted pro-Trump troll Douglass Mackey of plotting to trick voters out of casting a ballot during the 2016 presidential election.
When does the trial for the Democrats who did the exact same thing begin?
Douglass Mackey now faces a staggering *10 years in prison* for poking fun at his political opponents, yet people on the other side did the *exact same thing* with impunity. This is a frightening weaponization of our justice system. I will fix this as President & will announce my… https://t.co/SIYSiGgoWj
Seamus Hughes @SeamusHughes The FBI has arrested Aimen Penny of Ohio for Arson and Possession of a Destructive Device. He allegedly threw Molotov cocktails at a church that had planned to host drag shows last year.

the corruption of the Trump family is so out in the open and voluminous that it doesn't even register it seems. It's almost like the media says "yes, we know Trump is the most corrupt leader we have had in this countries history", but why don't we interview Marjorie Taylor Greene for 60 minutes. That will be something new and exciting and different.
How is Kushner (Who happens to be the son of another financial criminal that was pardoned by Trump) allowed to slither off into obscurity after self dealing to the tune of 2 billion? That is not even counting his bailout of his underwater 666 property from UAB while he was supposed to be drawing up middle east peace plans?

Ryan J. Reilly @ryanjreilly Just before Christmas 2021, David Elizalde was stationed at Naval Station Rota, in Rota, Spain, when the FBI and NCIS came to interview him about how he stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6. He was re-approached in 2022. He was just arrested.
Trump announced on TV his wish that the Federal Government would buy his stolen documents back from him.
The classic part is not the open crime and corruption - the funny part is that Hannity walked trump into the clear and asked trump to say he was not lawless. Trump did not take the bait and went full 'you bet I ordered the code red.'
oh 'conservatives.' You are so exhausting and crime-y.
A Rockaway man who battled police with fellow members of a New Jersey Proud Boys faction at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, will spend 12 months in prison, a federal judge ruled Monday. Shawn Price, 28, pleaded guilty in October to one count of obstruction of law during a civil disorder. A federal judge in Washington, D.C. sentenced him Monday to 12 months plus one day in prison, federal officials said.
Price and about four to five other Proud Boys from the Garden State violently pushed to the fore of the fighting and “forcibly interfered with the officers twice in a five minute span,” a prosecutor wrote in a pre-sentence report. Price was vice president of the far-right extremist group, the government says.
“Despite observing police officers attempting to control and disperse the crowd, and despite being hit in the chest with a rubber bullet and sprayed with tear gas by those same officers, Price was not deterred. Instead, he and his group of Proud Boys pushed through the crowd of rioters to get to the front line of the mob’s conflict with the police,” the prosecutor’s report says.
’conservatives’ taking fighting cops to a new level here.
Roy C. McGrath, a fugitive top aide to then-Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R), died Monday as the result of a confrontation with the FBI in the area of Knoxville, Tenn., his lawyer said. He had been the subject of a 21-day manhunt launched after he failed to show up to federal court in Baltimore.
. . . A federal judge in Washington, D.C. sentenced him Monday to 12 months plus one day in prison, federal officials said.
I think most people know this, but whatever: "A year and a day" is, in most jurisdictions, the punishment that defines a felony rather than a misdemeanor.

Yes, not to mention that this is the Biden thread and we should really be focusing on only Biden related news
Yes, more 'conservatives' convicted of fighting the blue.
@ryanjreilly : Ed Badalian, a Jan. 6 defendant who was charged alongside the Donald Trump supporter who drove a stun gun into the neck of a D.C. police officer during the Capitol attack, was convicted Tuesday on three counts.
This is key, esp after WI broke so strongly for the Dem yesterday. The Rs think their radical policies are popular because they live in a right wing bubble and watch nothing but Fox.
But fact is, R policies are NOT popular and are helping the Ds, who seem more reasonable in comparison. But m'aga and the rightist Christians demand these unpopular policies.
No doubt Trump will be full of radical unpopular ideas that hurt him in the general election.
It's a bind for the Rs.
Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25 The gap between what GOP base voters demand and what swing voters will tolerate grows wider every day.

The issue is democrat voters are too stupid to understand what they are voting for and elected democrats don't actually care what their constituents want.
