Donald Trump would have been convicted of crimes over his failed attempt to cling to power in 2020 if he had not won the presidential election in 2024, according to the special counsel who investigated him.
Jack Smith’s report (***the report is 174 pages long) detailing his team’s findings about Trump’s efforts to subvert democracy was released by the justice department early on Tuesday.
Following the insurrection on 6 January, 2021, Smith was appointed as special counsel to investigate Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. His investigation culminated in a detailed report, submitted to the attorney general, Merrick Garland.
Volume one of the report meticulously outlines Trump’s actions, including his efforts to pressure state officials, assemble alternate electors and encourage supporters to protest against the election results.
That is a possible outcome. But far from a desirable one.
There is so much more we (as a species) could be doing to prevent a mass extinction event.
But instead we’ve got our collective heads so far up our own asses that we can’t even cooperate enough to do what could be the simplest things.
It’s frustrating to see this disaster coming directly at us and being prevented from taking meaningful action by politicians who refuse to cooperate, by billionaires who hoard wealth and sculpt public opion toward self-destructive ends, by religions that gleefully anticipate their scriptures version of Armageddon.
The more you study geoscience the angrier you’ll get about it all, trust me.
