    The difference between good and evil is that good follows rules and evil doesn’t. And the fascists are always going to spread lies, whether there’s a trial going on or not. Making remarks about or adjacent to the trial while the trial is going on just gives them one more thing to lie about.

      What rules would be violated by focusing on Trump being on trial?

      Why aren’t those rules being enforced when conservatives ramble on endlessly about the trial being a sham?

      Staying silent is giving them more room to lie, because they are already lying constantly about the court proceedings. Saying something isn’t going to lead to them more lying.

        I think related to trials, Jon Stewart, Seth Meyers, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel and others are far more effective than Biden ever would be in his campaign ads.

        The thing is that being a former president with 91 felony charges is quite pathetic.

          That’s just true in general, on any subject. They have charisma.
