Wait, are we still all thinking he'll peacefully leave the white house after the shit he pulled last time?
It's not even about him, it's the party. He didn't start the campaign to fix elections, the party did after they successfully bullied the democrats out of the 2000 election and filibustered a recount with court challenges and Ginsberg crossed over and endorsed the steal.
You can draw a straight line from the stolen 2000 election through 2020 to now. And it was stolen in multiple ways, from voter suppression, purging valid voters from rolls, putting faulty machines in democratic districts and otherwise sabotaging their use, throwing ballots in the trash from democratic districts, and so on.
This doesn't end with the president.
I was too young to vote/know about the 2000 election, and I find it fascinating now to learn about it.
Fucking wild ride and it's been fucked since before maga
The source of this fuckery is the 1971 business roundtable, where monied interests huddled up and made the first iteration of a long game to cooperate on what they agreed on. Dividing and ruining any opposition. ie infection unions with the mafia, corrupting all facets of the establishment, like changing the consumer price index several times to understate it. Since then it's average 5-8 percent a year just by 2008 under the old measure, and 2-3 percent under the new. That is the biggest, and perhaps most consequential to working people, every year we take a pay cut, and nobody talks about it. They started The Fear of the Others in the 70s and by the 80s and 90s transformed le and the courts into fascist organizations given unconditional support. To make that happen of course they flooded the country with cocaine and taught gangs how to cook crack, to also fund paramilitary death squads in Nicaragua, and probably a lot of other countries that's just the one we know about. The author that broke that scoop got intense pushback but his reporting checked out and got picked up by other papers, but he committed suicide according to Ohio police, two rounds to the back of the head, worse suicide we ever saw I imagine them saying, but I digress.
Business Plot v2.0, now with more technology
Don't forget 2 of the justices in the supreme court were directly involved in giving Florida to bush.
Only two of the remaining ones? I know it was all the conservatives and Ginsberg came over to support it, to forestall the right pretending like they were going to be violent in their attempts (successful,) to intimidate the democrats chosen by the rich to be weak, and not upset the plutocratic licenses generated, just to play good cop to republican bad. Brooks brothers riots went unpunished too, they shipped in angry cuban partizans to ransack the miami dade voter count or something, I saw footage of part of it on an hbo special about that election steal, can't find it now online, by design I'm sure.
But Thomas was on the court then he voted, Alito idk when he was appointed. I don't really recall whom all was on their, other than Scalia being my unfavorite, he was a real piece of shit giving bad faith reasonings for betraying the 4th amendement and stuff like that. Really in your face bad faith betrayals of the Bill of Rights too, no reasonable person could conclude he wasn't betraying his oath. I can say that about all of them now. Roberts was Bush appointed I think, idk how he became chief when he's not senior, I think he replaced the chief and so he got the title, weird way to do it if you ask me. Breyer retired after getting blackmailed by the president over his nephew that worked at Deutsch Bank to allow for one of Prez' appointees. Scalia died sunning on a rock on vacation last year of Obama's term if I recall.
Can't recall the rest offhand.
I meant BKav and Barret.
In some other capacity than scotus? I know bkav was a republican operative, he was with Kenneth Star in his censorial campaign on Clinton sifting through blowjob evidence, looking for dirty rags with evidence of blowjobery. Idk about Barret but I know she was with some super religious sect doing some kind of work if I recall. Were they in on the steal in some other way, or clerking for conservative justices that did decide on it?
I'd have to look it up but I think she was actively clerking with the ones who handed FL to dubya
Maybe he will die
🤞
Really hope he doesn't die peacefully. At the very least he should take a violent shit in his pants before passing.
Trump is in this for his own personal benefit, not something bigger than himself. He will cower at defeat for the sake of survival, but not before he’s actually been defeated. The only way he dies is if he croaks.
