Conspiracy to defraud the United States of America.
donald trump thought he could grab this country by the p*ssy. Boy was he wrong.
“The attack on our nation's capital on January 6th was an unprecedented assault on the seat of American democracy. It's described in the indictment. It was fueled by lies. Lies by the defendant, targeted at obstructing a bedrock function of the U.S. Government.” - Jack Smith
Fuck Donald Trump.

It makes me sad for our country. It makes me sad for my fellow countrymen.
And it’s not just that it’s sad that we had to watch a violent insurrection, or that tens of millions of Americans are STILL so totally and completely fucking delusional about all of this. About HIM.
