This is the working class party? The Republicans? The working class party, the “GOP”, with 15 billionaires in the highest levels of government, actively tearing down protections and labor laws established for the middle class? The Republican Party that, in order to give MASSIVE, tax breaks to the wealthy will strip $190 million from kids with cancer? That to cut $2.5 trillion (which, might I add almost $6 trillion was added by trumps tax cuts last time) will cut social security that we’ve all paid into our entire working lives? Thats the party of the working class? The same party that has over and over again REFUSED to raise the minimum wage, has voted down guaranteed overtime? Thats the party of the working class? The same party that to pay for rich people to get richer wants to cut Medicare and Medicaid? That’s the party the has the middle class in its best interests?

Sure seems like it’s for the rich. Not for us.

They have somehow pinned us against each other over culture war bullsh*t, while they enrich themselves we get shafted…

Good job Republican voters! Keep up the good work 🙄

Who the f*ck voted for this!? Who voted for some immigrant to shut down the federal government a week before Christmas, putting millions of Americans out of work right before the holidays? Who the f*ck voted for abolishing the first amendment, suing and threatening press organizations, ones as big as Disney and as small as the Iowa gazette? Who the f*ck voted for putting unqualified and compromised people in positions of extreme import? Who the f*ck voted for abolishing the emoluments clause of the Constitution, allowing, already, powers to purchase the presidency? Who the f*ck voted for weakening our defense capabilities, weakening our world standing, weakening the middle class, weakening the separations of power, the separation of church and state?

Whoever did, is a f*ckin traitor. Whoever did, f*ckin betrayed this nation. Whoever did committed sedition against the United States.

F*ck you….

“We are witnessing a slow moving coup.”, Have been words Bill Maher has been saying since 2016. Witnessing a slow moving coup.

If you think back, those of us who are old enough to remember anyway, it was in 2016, when chants of “Lock her up, lock her up, lock her up” were ringing through the unpaid venues Trump would ramble at. He also claimed, many times, “the only way we’re going to lose is if they cheat.”, “the Democrats are rigging the election, they’re Cheaters! They cheat!”, and even through Tweets writing, “the election is absolutely being rigged by the dishonest and distorted media pushing Crooked Hillary- also at many polling places -SAD”

Before a single vote would be cast in 2016 he was claiming, here’s the most important part, if he didn’t win, it was because the election was rigged, or that somehow his opponent, the Democrats, had cheated. He also said this about not winning an Emmy for the show, The Apprentice.

It’s not clear if Trump understood/understands the ramifications to this claim. The reason this democracy works is because we believe that when we cast our vote, it means something. The only thing holding this republic together is the idea that when the majority votes for a candidate, that candidate who won the higher number of votes wins.

It sounds simple in theory, but when doubt is sewn into the fabric of the integrity of the elections, it creates the thought that our voice is being taken from us, that we are being cheated out of being heard, and that rattles the very foundation of a representative democracy.

Not only was Trump’s baseless claims, in any election, 2016, 2020, 2024, damaging to the very essence this nation was founded upon, it gave a permission structure for others to follow suit. To the point where when one doesn’t like the outcome of the election, or they can’t take admitting they lost, they can say, it’s rigged, there was cheating.

Just like with building, it takes a certain amount of ego to go into a house, look at a clients kitchen, and say, I can make this so much better. I don’t know what it’s like to run for public office but I know what it’s like to have a potential client want to remodel their bathroom or kitchen, go check it out, not only convey the confidence that you can make it so much better, but to believe you can. It takes a certain amount of vanity, cockiness, to be so certain.

With being able to relate in this basic way, I can see the personalities that are narcissistic in nature, egotistical, full of themselves, being drawn to positions of power. If you have to have a strong sense of self confidence to remodel a kitchen, it has to be 10X that to go into a powerful seat of government.

It sucks losing. It truly does. It can hurt, hit at your very core, linger around like a cloud of smoke. Part of confidence is being able to accept that, dust yourself off and move on to the next endeavor.

It shows a true weakness to not concede. It shows an even more pathetic attribute to claim, without any proof, that someone cheated you. Can you imagine if that’s how sports worked?! Ref: “Out of bounds!” Player: “Nope! Ball goes here. I was cheated.” Now fortunately with sports theirs instant replay, and many professionals watching with utter vigilance.

The same is true with our elections. Each state has its own sovereignty and has their own way of doing elections that are slightly different but all and all there has been no real problem that has arisen in the last 250 years. People spend their careers focused on election integrity and the running of elections.

Voter suppression, intimidation, poll purges, disengagement, partisan gerrymandering, stacking the courts, these are tactics of bypassing free and fair elections prior to votes being cast, but the count itself has never come into question. Until 2016, 2020, 2022, and 2024.

Look at North Carolina. They vote in their state Supreme Court justices there. North Carolina, much like this nation, is damn near 50/50 split Democratic-Republican. There are HIGHLY gerrymandered districts in NC, giving way to uneven representation in the House, but the actual numbers are damn near an even break.

The Republican candidate for state Supreme Court lost by just over 750 votes. He was entitled to a recount. That’s fair. When it’s that close it doesn’t hurt to take another look. The recount came back almost exactly the same as the first count. There’s a law that you can ask for a district to get a hand count after the recount. That occurred and the numbers were almost identical to the original numbers. Now the Republican candidate is saying that there’s 60,000 votes that should be thrown out, two of which, unbeknownst to him, just happen to be the mother and father of his opponent. That’s strange. Seeing how her father was an Army veteran and they were both born in the United States, and of course, her parents.

Nonetheless he wants 60,000 votes tossed out. Why? Because he lost. Because some of these votes, like the Democrats parents, were cast using a military ID, which of course isn’t linked to a state drivers license number. He wants to throw out the votes of our men and women who fought, and are fighting for their country, his country, our country, because it could be his way to come out ahead.

If you have to cheat to win, is that a win at all? What gratification does one get from that? How do you wake up in the morning and justify continuing the false narrative you created?

Winning at all cost, even disenfranchising legal voters, isn’t just unethical, it’s unamerican. That is in no way shape or form patriotic, American, loyal, or respectful to this country, our country. It is, play to win, selfish, narcissistic behavior. Giving no regard to the system, the people, the nation. Either trying to mend a bruised ego, not being able to accept the outcome, or thinking one is above the rules.

Look at Kari Lake, (honestly I’d prefer not to) she REFUSED to concede that she lost her gubernatorial campaign in 2022, after being one of the biggest proponents on Trump’s big lie of 2020. She was given the permission structure to attempt to discredit the core of representative democracy, votes.

Whether this is done with intentional malice, unmanaged narcissistic disorder, or egotistical entitlement, the results are the same. Undermining the integrity and faith of the American experiment.

If America comes out the back end of this upcoming administration with its institutions, granted liberties, and rule of law even somewhat intact, we can look forward. A changing of the guard, unless slaughtered in its infancy, is at hand.

My level of hope was much higher a little over a month ago, but has not been extinguished. Trump 2.0 did not win a mandate. In fact, he didn’t even hit over 50% of the popular vote. There was immense Russian meddling in the 2024 election. Bomb threats called into polling places in key areas, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Phoenix.

I’m not quite headed to storm the capital yet, but there’s also a foul stench of mendacity to the 2024 election. With the world’s richest man as a financial backer to Trump, even before the introduction that the Skylink satellites were used in tabulations, leaves much to be desired.

Timothy Snider says, “do not obey in advance”, this means we should question how that shitshow of a campaign, with that deteriorating, hate filled, failure of a former president won all 7 swing states and the popular vote.

There are a lot of ignorant racists, under and uneducated people, uninformed or anarchy driven, war on woke folks who voted Trump. But not quite 50%, with over 80 million who chose not to vote, and a protest vote for Palestine which was a futile effort of cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face.

This will be a long 4 years. The Constitution, the rule of law, norms and democratic processes will be tested to their limits. We must resist.

The resistance will be vital for the continuation of this nation. We must go out on the streets and make our voices heard, make a scene, a scene so large, not just the Trump administration has to take notice, but the world as well.

We must not obey in advance. We must not roll over and let 250 years of sacrifice be wasted. We must do what so many before us did. Fight for the cause of freedom. Fight for our rights. Fight on the side of good, for the sake of good.

@report-illegal-immigrants I understand it may be difficult for you to comprehend more than 3 or 4 words but I’ll teach ya a little something. It’s called reading. From up to down, left to right, words form sentences, sentences form paragraphs, paragraphs form complete thoughts... I realize that’s a lot for someone with shit for brains to soak in, but you need to read the entire thing, before you go acting like a sex crazed clergyman, to understand the meaning of the literature you may attempt to absorb. Next time, as to not look and sound like an ignorant, douchebag fuck stick. Maybe read the whole article and the attachments. Best of luck, and eat a dick.

Eugene.

I just want to clear something up because I hear this crap from all you treasonous maga out there, “we’re not a democracy, we’re a republic.” Guess what? I can watch Fox News too and regurgitate bullsh*t talking points and sound like a dumb*ss. I’d rather think critically, do research, come to a conclusive answer. This screenshot is from the civics lessons you have to take to become an American citizen (hence govinfo.gov).

So according to the government of the United States, the United States is federal representative democratic republic under the constitution.

No matter what propaganda sh*t Jesse Watters or Sean Hannity tries to spew. This is what our government says our government is. Hope we can move on from this, and yall will shutup.

Thanks 👍

What the actual f*ck!??? How is this even legal!? I guess I’ve never looked at my mortgage breakdown. I knew I had a pretty garbage interest rate, I was waiting for rates to fall and perhaps refinance. I am absolutely blown the f*ck away!!

I pay an extra hundred bucks a month as to just keep chipping away at the principal for the loan and still!! They’re telling me, that I’ve paid, coming up on $15k on my mortgage since I bought my house last year, but I’ve actually only paid $2,300 on the actual house but I’ve given the bank $9,300 for lending me the money to purchase this piece of sh*t home, that I’ve put tens of thousands of dollars into, copious amounts of blood and sweat remodeling this thing!?!?!! WHAT THE F*CK!!!?

When I bought this POS I purchased it in Jan 2023. The listing boasted an orchard, pear trees, apple trees, peach, pomegranate and fig. When I came to see the house, I knew it needed work, but fortunately that’s what I do for a living is remodel houses.

Come to find out the pear and apple trees are infected with fire blithe, an incurable disease.

I don’t think it was the last owners, probably the ones before them but, when I opened the walls and floor, HOLY SH*T! I didn’t know termites could do that much damage! Those f*ckers covered that termite wood so well, while at the same time cursing me with the worst “craftsmanship” I have ever seen… I used to think building inspectors were a pain in my ass. I’ve never respected them more than after purchasing a home on unrestricted land.

After nearly two years of busting my ass both to pay the mortgage, and renovating this dump, I go to check the fruits of my labor, see how much I’ve paid down the house, to find I’ve paid a month of rent in a city off the actual principal of the house, while nearly 4/5ths went to interest.

I’m shocked! I’m pissed! I’m crushed!

Two f*cking years of busting my balls! Two years of living in a renovation that includes replacing the floor joists and nearly all structural studs, both interior and exterior. Two years of chasing the “American dream”, which is having a small piece of property with a very modest house on it, to find that I’ve paid $2,300 on the house itself.

The rest goes to a giant bank who harbors billions of dollars, that it acquired because it speculated (a fancy word for gambled) with other people’s money, as well as making money off having money!?

Then there’s dumbass Eugene over here, being the f*cking tool he is, just a cog in the machine, a brick in the wall if you will, being a good little serf, “just keep working just keep working just keep working.” Paying into a system he despises, lining the pockets of undeserving CEO’s and oligarchs, then some people are shocked that most of us are like, “serves him right” when a CEO of a major health insurance company gets popped!

I’m an early millennial, late GenX, I feel bad for you GenZers and beyond! Home insurance is unaffordable in many places around the country. A bank won’t give you a loan without your home being insured (don’t get me started on shistey ass insurance companies either) which kinda makes sense, so if your home burns down and ain’t worth sh*t, you don’t just walk away like, see ya ✌️ That is leading to these MASSIVE real estate companies purchasing any home they can get there hands on, not only forcing the majority of the middle class to be renters, but also fixing the price for rent, which if any of you don’t know, in any moderately big city, is out of control expensive!

For a country that decries the horrors of communism there are certain aspects of capitalism that create a subjugated class very similar communism for anyone who isn’t wealthy.

How you may ask?

One of the main principles of communism is the lack of individual ownership. Not sure if anyone’s noticed but every year there’s more you spend, but less you own.

Music and movies are no longer physical objects that one has possession of. They are now linked to a streaming service or app that requires internet, or at best downloaded into a computer.

To purchase a vehicle, especially a new one, requires a loan nearly as extensive as what a home use to cost. Vehicles are $60k-$100k anymore!! If you don’t have the credit (which is a NWO conspiracy, and that’s coming from a liberal) you can’t acquire said loan, which leaves you with the option to lease. Again. No individual ownership.

Video games are more and more becoming software that you connect to the internet to play. In my day we had clunky plastic cartridges that we owned indefinitely. Some video games now require subscriptions to Xbox live, or whatever PlayStations equivalent is, to even play the game you don’t own!

So basically what we “own” is the clothes on our back and the various “toys” we have (mine being tools, which in cruel irony are for work). The rest is consumables. Food, booze, herb, vacations, healthcare. What’s the f*cking point!?

I’m telling you my fellow Americans, Republican, Democrat, Independent, if we don’t rise up against this inequality, we, and definitely our children, will live under an umbrella of capitalism where we stay dry from any of its benefits while the rest soaks the very elite with wealth they don’t need.

The top 10% own 67% of the nations capital. That leaves us to split the remaining 33% between the remaining 90% of us. It’s f*cking absurd!!!

I know I ain’t the only dumb f*ck who works his or her butts off day after day after day, building wealth for someone else while we get but a fraction of the record profits the companies we work for make, and are told to like it or we can be replaced.

I thought I made this next thing I’m going to say up, I’ve been using this analogy for years, but just the other day I heard something similar, so I don’t know if my thought got out to the world, of if I unwittingly stole someone else’s thought years ago and claimed it as my own, but…

Let’s say we’re doing a study on a primate colony. In this primate colony there are one or two monkeys who gather as many bananas as they can, more than they could ever eat, hoarding and bogarting nearly three quarters of available bananas in this part of the jungle. The other 50-60 monkeys are left with a measly amount of bananas, whatever is left on the jungle floor that “trickled down” from these monkeys who are hoarding the majority of bananas.

We wouldn’t look at these monkeys as some kind of geniuses of bananas, or as titans of the banana industry. We wouldn’t look at them and wonder, what is wrong with these couple monkeys?! Gathering up so many bananas while every other primate in the colony struggles just to feed their baby monkeys and get by.

That’s where we’ve gotten as a society. There’s a handful of people hoarding all the damn bananas and we can’t hardly get any! Yet they’ve conned us, in a capitalistic fevor, to glorify them. See them as role models. Aspire to be just like them.

As of now there are 6 billionaires in trumps cabinet. How do these people have our best interests in mind? How do they have any basic idea what the middle class needs or desires? How can they be trusted not to focus on their bottom line as their top priority?

They don’t, they can’t and they won’t.

The last time the markets were deregulated and these “titans of industry” had the reigns, in 2007-2008, it was the greatest recession since the Great Depression.

Anyone who’s kept up with my writing might remember a study I often reference and think of. Getting a good sum of money fires off the same reward centers in your brain as doing a line or hit of blow. The same dopamine and serotonin are released in the same way.

We need to stop looking at the wealthy as people who know how to succeed and start recognizing them for what they really are.

Junkies. Looking for that next line of capital snorted up their nostril. That next hit off the glass rose stem of currency.

The whole while as they’re getting their fix from money, it’s done at our expense (no pun intended). Lessening our pay, the safety requirements we work in, our ability to collectively bargain, our employer healthcare, the labor practices, denying coverage, cutting jobs, automating jobs, working on skeleton crews, practicing predatory lending, gambling with pensions, privatizing social security.

We have to remember. Their obligation is to their shareholders. Not their customers, and certainly not their employees.

This will not change unless we rise up against them. I’m not saying with gun violence or necessarily violence in general. They need to know, that without a workforce, they can’t make money. Without a customer base, they won’t make money. Without money, how will they get the monkey off their back?

Workers of the world unite!

[eugenedebs1920]

It’s just crazy. Crazy how one guy can cause so much chaos and disruption, such hostility and hatred, break the law habitually and never face accountability.

“I just need you to find, 11,780 votes. That’s one more than we have” were the words spoken by Donald Trump to the Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. This was a pressure campaign launched by Donald Trump to bully Secretary Raffensperger into violating the Constitution, and going against the will of the people of Georgia, and the United States.

Secretary Raffensperger, in what is sadly a rarity in Republican leadership, and Republicans as a whole, stood in fealty to the United States Constitution, and did not bend to the whim of the Tangerine Tyrant.

For his allegiance to the rule of law, the Constitution, and to the United States of America, he received countless death threats from so called patriots. These cosplay patriots threaten his family, his life, and all that he held dear.

It’s sad to say that a man, doing his job as he should. deserves a deep gratitude from this nation, but he does. He could have done what so many Republicans have, and bent the knee to Dementia Don. 

Fani Willis was born in Inglewood California. Her father was founded a chapter of the Black Panthers for that section of California. He grew weary of the infighting and lack of substantive positive impact the Black Panthers were making and moved his family to Washington DC where he would practice law as a defense attorney.

Needless to say Ms. Willis grew up with a vast understanding and respect for the rule of law and a drive for justice.

She would attend Howard University studying political science and would graduate cum laude. In 1993. After graduating from Howard she attended Emory University College of Law and receive her Juris Doctorate degree.

Subsequently she would spend 16 years in Fulton County’s district attorney’s office before being elected as District Attorney. Her previous experience had led her to pursue Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) beyond just organized crime and directed at any muti faceted criminal activity.

Upon the lawlessness Trump perpetrated in trying to subvert democracy, Ms. Willis was appalled. Her admiration to the rule of law, and the binding order laid out in the United States Constitution brought her to go after this egregious act of sedition. 

The Raffensperger call was not the only act of treason Trump and others engaged in. These exploits were not only implemented in Georgia. A slate of fake electors was devised to circumvent the actual electoral count. These fake electors were to swap the official results with ones falsely claiming Trump had won that state. This occurred in Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New Mexico and of course, Georgia.

The conspiracy was extensive. Not only the fake electors scheme had transgressed, but a beakin and breach of voting equipment happened as well.

There was over 30 people named as, culprits, co-conspirators or conspirators. Including the disgraced former president, 19 were indicted.

Donald Trump was charged with under the RICO Act, 4 counts of false statements, 2 being false documentation, 2 counts of forgery, 1 count of impersonating a public officer, with 5 other charges dropped.

Rudy Guliani was co-conspirator #1 and charged under the count RICO, 3 counts false statements, 2 counts false documents, 2 counts forgery, 1 count of impersonating a public officer.

Ray smith III, a lawyer for Trump was charged with RICO count, 3 counts of false statements, with 2 counts false documentation, 1 count impersonating a public officer, 2 counts forgery

Cathy Latham, one of the fake electors and Leader of the Republican Party in Coffee County, was charged with RICO, 1 false documents, I impersonating a public officer, and 1 count forgery.

Robert Cheeley, another lawyer was charged with RICO, 1 count false statements, 2 counts false documentation, 1 count impersonating a public officer, 2 counts forged, and 1 count perjury.

John Eastman, one of the leaders in the whole plot, a lawyer, was charged under the RICO Act, 1 count false statements, 2 counts false documents, 1 count impersonating a public officer, and 2 counts forgery.

David Shafer, one of the fake electors and Republican state chairman, was charged under the RICO Act, 1 count false documents, 1 count false statements to the district attorney, 1 count impersonating a public officer, and 2 counts of forgery.

Kenneth Chesebro, another architect in the national scheme, and lawyer was charged under the RICO Act, 2 counts false documentation, 1 count impersonating a public officer, and 2 of counts forgery.

Mike Roman, a devious campaign staffer and odd private investigator, was charged under the RICO Act, 2 counts false documents, 1 count impersonating a public officer, andn2 counts of forgery.

Shawn Still, another fake elector, and Republican state senator, was charged under the RICO Act, 2 counts false documents, 1 count impersonating a public officer, and 2 counts forgery.

Jenna Elis, a big player nationally with the plot to circumvent democracy, was charged under the RICO Act. Same as White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. Jeffery Clark was also charged under the RICO Act, with 1 count false statements.

Then there was the Coffee County election equipment breach (which by the way they have had access to since the 2020 election to find any flaws. Just saying.) The indictments were charged to.

Cathy Latham, the Republican lead of Coffee County, under RICO, 2 counts election fraud, 3 counts computer crimes, 1 count defrauding the state of Georgia.

Scott Hall, a bail bondsman, charged under RICO, he was subsequently charged with 2 counts election fraud, 3 counts of computer crimes, and 1 count defrauding the state of Georgia.

Misty Hampton, the Coffee County elections supervisors charged under RICO act, 2 counts of election fraud, 3 counts of computer crimes, 1 count of defrauding the state of Georgia.

Sidney Powell, a massive instigator, main perpetrator and known kook, was charged under RICO, 2 counts of election fraud, 3 counts of computer crimes, and 1 count defrauding the state of Georgia.

This case was pretty cut and dry. These morons video taped some of their crimes, some were on national tv, some were recorded, and some confessed to their crimes.

Of those who confessed and plead guilty were.

Scott Hall, the bail bondsman, plead guilty to, conspiracy to commit intentional interference with the performance of election duties. This was 5 misdemeanor charges landing him 5 years probation, a $5,000 fine, 200 hours of community service, a public apology to the state of Georgia, and to testify truthfully in future trials.

Sidney Powell also plead to conspiracy to commit intentional interference with the performance of election duties, charges with 6 misdemeanors and sentenced to 6 years probation, a $6,000 fine, a $2,700 restitution, a public apology to the state of Georgia and to testify truthfully in future trials.

Kenneth Chesebro plead guilty to conspiracy to file false documents, a felony, a deli charge. He was ordered to serve 5 years probation, a $5,000 restitution, 100 hours of community service. A public apology to the state of Georgia, and to testify truthfully in future trials.

Jenna Elis plead guilty to aiding and abetting false statements and writings, a felony, and was ordered to 5 years probation, a $5,000 restitution payment, 100 hours of community service, a public apology to the state of Georgia, and to truthfully testify in future trials.

Like I said previously. The case was pretty much open and shut. The evidence was overwhelming, some recorded, and all the acts were easily followed. It seemed justice would be served to the United States.

Then came the sleazy actions from Mike Roman. He had served as an adviser and campaign staffer on many Republican tickets. He had also worked for the Koch brothers as an intelligence gatherer. He would get dirt on liberals opponents and conservative policies.

Through his dirtbag tactics he found out that early on in the RICO case Fanni Willis, and a fellow attorney Nathan Wade, working on the case had engaged in romantic relations.

These were 2 consenting adults, who happened to cop feelings for each other while working together. These things happen. You work with someone, day after day, they start looking good if the conditions are right.

This was brought to the attention of the court, and frankly the world. Trump and some co-conspirators claimed it was a conflict of interest. Also claiming that Wade received improper payments due to it.

The cases against Trump for the theft, illegal retention, and refusal to return classified information, as well as the election interference, January 6th 2021 insurrection case cost upwards of $50 million dollars to date. In contrast, Fanni Willis and the Fulton County DA’s case, as of mid summer was under $5 million. There are accusations that Wade was paid more than some people in the district attorney’s office. This is true as he was a special prosecutor and not paid by Fulton County directly.

Either way, two consenting adults, on the same side of the isle, having an office romance is absolutely not a conflict of interest.

Just as that slimy pig that Trump is, he found a way to delay the case indefinitely until the investigator was investigated. He has done this before. Lord f*ckin knows he’s going to do it again.

Fani Willis went from prosecuting one of the largest acts of sedition ever perpetrated upon our nation, against 30 conspirators, with mountains of evidence. To being asked how many times she had sex with Nathan Wade, in a disgusting contortion of the law.

The fact that Judge McAfee even entertained the dismissal of the case is unprecedented.

A bunch of well off, white men found out that a powerful, smart black woman was sleeping with her coworker and raised a ruckus about it. Trump being found guilty of sexual assault himself, and accused by over 20 other women of the same. The irony hurts it’s so grave.

In the stolen classified documents case out of Florida, the judge, Aileen Cannon, had been put on the bench by Trump. She dismissed the case. The Supreme Court, where Trump installed 3 of the justices, ruled for Trump in Anderson v Trump, where the Colorado Supreme Court had declared Trump was ineligible to run for office under the 14th amendment, section 3, which clearly states that anyone who has participated in “insurrection or rebellion against the United States” is barred from holding ANY federal office again. That same Supreme Court would drag its feet for 6 month, after deciding the Anderson case in under 6 weeks, in Trump v the United States, and rule that the president has absolute immunity for crimes committed while in office. With blatant disregard for what the entire premise of our nation beholds.

Now Fanni Willis is being ordered to turn over documents due to a lawsuit filed by an ultra conservative group. Again, making her out to be the person guilty of a crime.

The only crime Fanni Willis is guilty of is being a black lady, trying to take down a criminal organization. That and sleeping with a handsome, tall, mature black man.

Trump skirting accountability, as he always does, just further emboldens him to commit more crimes against our country. Now with absolute immunity to do so.

In the words of Bob Dylan, “it makes you feel ashamed to live in a land where justice is game.”

Ken Paxton will bash in the doors of 80 year old ladies, before 6 in the morning, who are registering legal American citizens to vote. He will sue the Biden administration over an endangered lizard and his lack of giving a damn if it seems to exist. Him and his fellow fascist in arms (definitely not legs) Greg Abbott will thread the Rio Grande with razor wire and laugh as immigrants drown in it. Paxton will go on Bannon’s show and chuckle and brag about how he knocked 2 million Texans off the voter rolls before the 2020 election. Those 2 are the definition of tyranny. The example of governing for the few, and screw the rest, particularly those with brown skin. It is Paxton who has attempted to allow government agencies to obtain women’s medical records to make sure they didn’t have an abortion. Pairing with Oklahoma have suggested even patrolling state lines to make sure women aren’t leaving the state for reproductive care.

It sounds like some shit out of a dark thriller but these are all policies, bills, and proposals from Texas lawmakers.

Funny thing is, the minority population in Texas is hardly a minority. It’s this draconian rule by these white Christian nationalists who suppress votes, engage in intimidation tactics, and break the law in any way they can get away with.

Now, not wanting to face any criticism, or encourage any sympathy, they won’t release data in maternal fatalities.

Paxton and Abbott are just sick, terrible human beings. As unamerican as one can get. I truly hope it burns when they pee.

Trump has been nothing but a financial, political, and spiritual burden on the United States! What has he ever done, besides give the 1% a giant tax cut adding $5 trillion to the deficit, beneficial for this nation? Honestly! I’d like to know. He inherited a great economy that Obama and Biden spent 8 years fixing from Bush Jr’s catastrophic failures. By the time Trump left office we had record high unemployment, economy in the tank, inflation on the rise. I hear maga say Obama was the most divisive president of all time?! To that I say BULLSHIT!!! He was only divisive if you were a racist. Which apparently is a lot of people.

The only thing Trump has done is grift off this nation, shred the constitution, rig SCOTUS, destroy our reputation, ruin the economy, sell our secrets to Russia, divide this nation like never before, and make a mockery of all who died to protect the rights and freedoms granted to us. So if you hate America, he did quite a bit I suppose.

This manufactured outrage over Biden pardoning his son is pure gaslighting. First off. If it wasn’t for the extremely lax gun laws Republicans have, with more passion than anything, protected, it wouldn’t just be a box on a form asking questions. It would be more extensive background checks. Republicans would say, ‘you do get a background check when you purchase a firearm!’. To them I would say, ‘if you have to show id multiple times to vote, maybe multiple background checks for a firearm should undergo the same scrutiny.’

How many hours, how much wasted money, effort and taxpayer resources did James Comer spend trying to find dirt on Biden, he never could. Trump was impeached, the first time, for trying to find dirt on the Bidens. None ever came up. Except that his surviving son had substance abuse problems. To which now he has cleaned up and is sober. That’s hard to do, to judge him for purchasing a firearm, that was revealed in a book Hunter wrote, and with the lack of integrity, and the cruelty of Republicans, they went after Hunter thinking, ‘he may have been under the influence when he purchased this weapon that was never used in a crime. We got him!!’ Absolutely pathetic! A sick display of a lack of moral fortitude.

The dirty tricks, the hypocrisy, the lying, the projection and gaslighting from the once “Grand Old Party” is a display of the absence of any ethical boundaries. The cheating, the corruption, the dirty tricks. We see you. Your day will come. 🇺🇸

Who else thinks that posting controversial, deceptive, instigating opinions and memes, like @prettynpink17 but not allowing comments shows a real lack of courage and integrity? You got some batsh*t things you want to put out in the world, but you don’t want to hear anything in response? That’s the entire Republican echo chamber though. They say some absurd falsity, claiming some outlandish sh*t, then put their fingers in their ears going,”lalalalalalalallalalalala” because they know what they’re saying is void of truth and they don’t give a sh*t. Why am I surprised though? For a party who has no moral compass, that has to suppress voter turnout, cheat at every moment, make up their own rules in contrast to the existing ones, a party where integrity or self respect is LONG gone, a party where sexual assault, meh, let’s victim shame instead, a party where, espionage and collision with our biggest adversary, ‘why is it bad to be friends with Putin?’ A party where a life time of fraud doesn’t disqualify you, where violating the Constitution simply doesn’t matter, a party when any time you point out their hypocrisy and flaws just answers, “TDS”. A Republican Party who voted against guaranteed paid overtime, and their followers went, ‘yea!!! Screw immigrants!!” A Republican Party who voted against raising the minimum wage and against paid family leave, and their supporters went “Yea!! It’s all them immigrants!!” A Republican Party who voted against funding FEMA when Hurricane Helene was brewing in the gulf and their supporters went “Yea! F the deep state!” notwithstanding that the majority of the states in the path of that hurricane, and most hurricanes, is directly through red states. How do you keep getting people to vote against their own interests like that? A couple ways. You give them someone to hate, a shared enemy, like immigrants, used to be black people. You keep them uniformed and uneducated, as getting rid of the department of education does as well as delegitimizing ALL news sources besides the ones that tell your propaganda. It’s an absolute disgrace and embarrassment what has happened to the “GOP”. It’s truly disheartening to see so many, so lost…

What the f*ck ever “MAGA”!!! This case actually WAS a witch hunt. Tell me which one of you fuckin pricks want high on opioids, or weed, or whatever when you bought your last firearm!

Let’s list off some of the Tangerine God Kings pardons shall we?!

We’ll start with ones DIRECTLY tied to Dementia Don himself. Micheal Flynn, George Papadopolus, Alex van der Zwaan, all sentenced for lying to the FBI about Russian connections and collusion.

Charles Kushner, our now ambassador to France. He was found guilty of witness tampering, making illegal campaign contributions, and tax evasion. He went so far as to hire a prostitute to lure his brother in law into a hotel room with recording devices and sent the tape to the brother in laws wife.

Rodger Stone. He was found guilty of lying to congress, 5 separate accounts, witnesses tampering, and obstruction of an official proceeding.

Paul Manifold lied to the FBI about Russian contacts and collusion, also charged with five counts of tax fraud, one count failure to disclose foreign bank account, and two counts of conspiracy.

Tommaso Buti Conspiracy to defraud the United States; fraud by wire, radio, or television (35 counts); scheme to defraud: money, state tax stamps (transportation of stolen property (14 counts); money laundering - racketeering (laundering monetary instruments conspiracy.

There’s 230 more… Should I continue? These are criminals and co-conspirators, fraudsters, murderers and thieves on that list.

So you’ll have to forgive that your manufactured outrage means about nada…

Ye who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Ye who live in shattered glass houses from wild crazy accusations, as well as enormous scandals and crimes, have no room for to sit in to talk.
