    It makes me sick seeing 10x the amount of cops as were present for Jan 6 there just to protect this fucking dipshit. There’s something really wrong about that.

      They prevented the Capitol Police from getting sufficient number of people and equipment without permission from Trump and he never gave it, if I remember correctly.

      They’re there to protect the courthouse from the same people who were at Jan 6.

      I think it’s better this way. Less likely to be painted as a victim of persecution.

    The Average US President has been indicted 1.54 times. (Trump is the only US president to ever be indicted.)

    Shamelessly stolen from someone on Mastodon (unfortunately I can’t find the toot).

      How does the math on that work? Number of indictments / number of Presidents = 1.54 would imply that the number of times Trump has been indicted exceeds the number of Presidents the U.S. has had and that ain’t right…

        yeah, I think comment OP got number of times indicted (I think twice so far?) confused with number of charges (37 or so for this indictment, more in the past and more forthcoming)
