Treason Thread #73: Les Misérables

Great thread title

Bump for the thread watcher. Sometimes the eye doesn't hold.

I thought I finally got to start a Treason thread but someone beat me to it. What happened to the regular OP? I thought he said he wasn’t sure if he was going to be on DL much anymore.

Here’s my entry to start #73! Good title, OP!

Buckle Up. Former President Bone Spurs is back! Only this time, he's playing for keeps! As we last left BS, he was inciting an insurrection. Soon, though, a hero arrived to vanquish this villain and save the US of A. Unfortunately, voters got amnesia and voted BS back in. Did he learn his lesson, or will America pay dearly? Find out soon coming to a concentration camp near you!

Hi FCI, great intro! Sorry, if I had known you were going to start the next thread I would have deferred. I did go into hiding and stopped watching all media, esp social media. But I realized I can’t do this (the next four years) without support. So my hibernation was short-lived.

However, I’m done with mainstream media. They legitimized Dump and the result is this disaster of a government we will have come Jan. 20.

I’m with you, OP/r4

I’ve turned off all news (except I still get PBS alerts on YT that I can ignore if it’s about the traitor), and pretty much am muting SM feeds. But I do need you all to hold my hand when it gets dark.

So I’m here.

I think we all need that, r5.

R4 I’m glad you’re back! Please continue to start new Treason threads. It wouldn’t be the same without you doing them.

And I completely understand where you’re coming from. I am doing the same- no mainstream media for me with very little SM.

Here is something both interesting on a personal level (how to steal your info) as well as on a global scale.

Like, how to make shit lock up, stop working or maybe stop counting votes? IDK. Just tossing it out there.

Not a conspiracy theory. These are facts. Your USB cable may contain a computer chip that can be accessed by nefarious assholes doing mischief.

As long as they don't interfere with my porn, those nefarious assholes are welcome to my USB cable.

Miss Lindz partaking of a bit of curry on her famous yellow office sofa with the bronze leaf prints.

Nasty ole 🐠.

I still refuse to believe Drumpf won every swing state, and the fact that the Dems simply accepted it without challenging it is inexcusable!

And why? Because, they're more concerned about looking like hypocrites than stopping the end of Democracy?

I want to take back every single one of my votes from the past 20 years!

The INSANELY DANGEROUS Trump nominee that NO ONE is talking about

Garmeet Dhillon, Kash Patel, etc. Is New Delhi sending the U.S. their problem people?

Trump not waiting to take office to accept bribes:

“The Trump Organization on Wednesday announced a new project in Saudi Arabia: Trump Tower Jeddah.”

We are now the United States of Trump.

R15, taking bribes is now an official Presidential act. Nothing to see here.

I think they are now referred to by SCOTUS as gratuities and Reputations plan to make them tax free.

Trump killed hundreds of thousands of old people in his first term, how many children do you think he'll kill in his second?

[quote]Trump killed hundreds of thousands of old people in his first term

It wasn't just old people, r19.

No, R19, but the number of people he killed in younger age groups didn't rise to the hundreds of thousands.

JFC I just cannot believe he's going to be president again, and that anyone thought his first term was a success. JFC what a scary time we live in.

FCI, r22, it goes to show the power of Fox/Advertising/Marketing/Analytics.

Latinos were SOLD Trump like a bad used car by Fox/Advertising/Marketing/Analytics.

Funny thing, when people hate the car, they also hate the salesman who lied to them to make the sale.

THEY'RE EATING THE DOGS.

R23 I think this long thread on Twitter explains what we are up against as far as media, messaging. Republicans have almost built an impenetrable media ecosystem.

True, but we know that Republicans need an enemy, and for us that can be summed up in Fox.

Fox is the font of our corrupt MAGA system. The link on Elton Moose simply shows a distribution feed.

Fox points the way.

THEY ARE EATING THE DOGS!

I found this posted on another thread.... a pretty amazing clip.

Sarah Longwell nails the other Republicans on the panel...I watched it twice to see the reactions of others on the panel. Notice how twitchy and uncomfortable Kellyanne Conway is, yet she maintains that big disgusting smile.

Time Magazine Forced To Issue 2,300 Word Fact Check Of Disastrous Trump Interview

r28, Because Time is still a journalist, fact based news magazine, they were not forced to issue a Fact Check of the Trump interview, they did it as a matter of journalistic integrity in opposition to the lies and misinformation Trump spewed.

In all truthfulness, Rupert Murdoch should have been named Man of the Year for selling America a broken down Capitalist the second time.

[quote]Because Time is still a journalist, fact based news magazine,

It's because of that they *were* forced to, r30. If Trump had been truthful, they wouldn't have had to do it.

Not off the hook yet, Donnie.

Trump wants to shut the press down from saying anything negative about him. Good luck with that asshole, Freedom of the Press is in the constitution.

They’re all obeying in advance, r33.

Only the overseas and independent media are challenging his and Muskhole’s bullshite.

I still can't believe we are where we are as a country. Never in my wildest nightmares would I have seen this coming.

Every criminal billionaire and CEO and politician sees it as open season for doing wrong with no consequences.

We’ve reverted to the years before the Great Depression. Incoming President Warren Harding’s administration is going to re-teach the country a thing or two about corruption

How many MAGAts will end up on the bread lines, still wearing their maggot merch and loudly proclaiming how “Biden fucked us!”?

Plenty. And they should be left to starve in the streets. Just like they want to do to others. Let them suffer the consequences.

I’ve had it with these pricks and their hate/fear of everyone. They didn’t learn from Covid. Maybe starving to death or watching their children die from preventable childhood diseases will teach them.

The media will ensure Biden is blamed for any economic mess under Bone Spurs.

It's going to be four years of whining from this big old gas bag.

Well...at least we still have Randy.

R40 12 straight years of whining, and that is if you don’t count the birther years.

Hmmmmmmmm

Hosting Pam Bondi:

Even women wanting confirmed must come through me.

Anyway, after Peter Hegseth, I’m worn out.

r39, two years...

It's been over a month since election day. I'm still freaking out. And part of the reason I'm freaking out is because it seems nobody else is freaking out.

It seems like not only is everybody obeying in advance, they're sending flowers!

It really is THAT BAD, isn't it? Comments like R39, R43, R44 are optimistic.

And there will be no more elections that Democrats can now win fairly and squarely.

Am I wrong??

R45 It doesn’t feel good. It doesn’t look good. I want to think there is a lot going on we can’t see, but when you have almost all the media, not reporting, instead in cahoots and helping insulate maga, I’m not optimistic. Do what you can do. Stock up. Get out cash. These are things everyone should do anyway. Covid taught me to have a three month supply of all essentials and cash.

Think You Really Vote For President? Think Again. ‘Independent Lens’ Documentary Reveals Electoral College Truth:

R46, FCI or others:

"Do what you can do. Stock up. Get out cash. "

Serious question: Stock up on what specifically? (toilet paper? bottled water?), and how much cash should I have on hand? Thanks.

^^Both these things was specifically what I was thinking when I wrote that reply.

Frozen/ canned food. Pet food. Toilet paper. Paper towels. Toothpaste. Mouthwash. Soap. Water.( Buy a Brita filter and filter tap water.) Cash. $5-10,000 at least. Have enough to live easy for 3 months. I say this as someone who has seen what a cyberattck could do, we all have, and Covid taught these lessons as well. This isn't specific to what may happen under Bone Spurs. But..

Like we HAVE $5K just sitting in a bank account!

Be serious

Tulsi Gabbard member of a cult? (a different one).

R52 I’m sorry you don’t save. I don’t live above my means, and I was taught to save. Get out what you can. It is always good to have cash on hand. That is financial literacy 101.

Maybe they will get Tiff Trump to take her place.

[quote]It is always good to have cash on hand

Unless you're Fani.

What an ignorant, offensive thing to say about one of our staunchest allies. This is going to be a loooooong four years for the entire world.

FCI, most of my savings is tied up in stock/IRAs, so it’s not easy to get to.

At least I gave the option of cashing some of that out. MILLIONS of people- many on here - don’t have any savings.

R59 I know there are some circumstances where people don't have savings because of something serious that happened, but I live far below my means so I could build up a decent savings. For example, I have the same car I bought at 22- that's 15+ years. I splurge every now and then, but I want to be able to live at least a year with no job and not lose my standard of living.

[quote]r60 = I know there are some circumstances where people don't have savings

I'm one of those people, FCI.

You can live below your means - my car is a 2002 Ford that I work on myself.

The problem is, everything keeps going up except PAY.

But that’s neither here nor there. Even if we don’t have extra savings, maybe we should start taking $50 a paycheck and tucking it away somewhere.

Or take that money and buy dry goods (rice, beans, powdered milk) seeds(tomato, onion, greens) or masks just in case.

You can grow tomatoes, potatoes and onions in containers on your porch, balcony or backyard if you have one.

R61 Sorry, Doris. That's awful! 💙

R62 Do whatever you can. That's my point. Have cash ready.

When I interned I worked on a cyberattck memo for the congressman. It scared the shit out of me. During Covid, I was set. I had everything I needed. I had taken the lesson from working on the cyberattck memo to heart.

[quote]r63 = [R61] Sorry, Doris. That's awful! 💙

Hardly, FCI, I got the sun in the morning and the moon at night.

My Latino partner became at least a closeted tRump supporter drinking the kook-aid at some point in the past few years. He was devastated when Hillary lost. This morning, he came downstairs and announced that his circle of friends are now really afraid of tRump - and he even had a favorable comment about Kamala. I just rolled my eyes - for 18 months leading up to the election I tried to explain why tRump was bad for him and the country. Oh, well!

This is why I think some of the really bad shit, especially on immigration, has to happen before anything changes r65. Nobody, just really nobody, will be convinced that, yeah, the Trump Cult really and truly sucks until they see it in action, AGAIN. You and Kamala and all the podcasters and all the progressive talk show people (the few, the proud) and every motherfucker in the Democratic Party can go on and on and on and on, and it will not make the slightest difference. Until they actually see it in action, at least for the first six months, nobody outside the already convinced will give a fuck. Nobody will do shit about shit until it finally punches them in the face.

Then, and only then, they might just start to think, gee, maybe the most worthless, most corrupt, craziest shithouse rat in American history MIGHT not be the best at being president. Hmmm.

I know so many people who truly don't think things will be that bad under Bone Spurs. They think, yeah, Republicans suck, but we've survived them dozens of times. Sigh. So R66, you're correct.

I don't have the cash really to keep on hand but I started following FCI's advice right after the election and have been stocking up on toilet paper, paper towels, Clorox wipes, face masks, bottled water, kitty litter, dry cat food and I'm still highly considering buying a firearm and taking lessons in the new year.

I think a generator and some good French wine might be the way to go what with the tariffs and the war with Canada.

Y’all. The stress and overwhelm is so high, plus the paranoia. I’ve barely been on this site because I don’t even know what’s safe anymore. Like who will be next on their “hit list” of targets? First it was women, now it’s going to be immigrants….then who? I was *extremely* outspoken in the past and an activist. Now????? I barely engage in any facet of society, AND I can’t escape it, no matter where I go. I don’t want to be reminded of it, but unless I throw my phone into a trash can, it’s *impossible* to avoid the news. And it terrifies me over and over again. And TMI, but I already have C-PTSD, had an incredible therapist for the last year until recently. But I started to feel like she was gaslighting me, like she might be RW too, so I had to stop seeing her.

Thanks for listening. Knowing this place is still standing is literally one of the last threads of joy I have currently. I am hopeful that our population gets punished/beat up hard enough that they say “no more”. But it may not go down like that. He will try to shield white heterosexual males from lots of pain in order to keep their support. Smarter minds might be able to predict the outcome. But as far as I’m concerned, America fell, and our Fed is now the bitch of Pootin, and Leon is running it ALL.

I love you. Hold me, David, hold me.

R69, how are things looking up in Canada? Do you feel secure or no?

I’m an American in the US, but my Canadian citizenship just came through according to my immigration attorney. (No official letter yet since all the Canada postal workers are on strike.

I had a dear friend, may he RIP, who was just starting college in Prague when WW2 started, and his years in the resistance began, and his advice was to just have faith. I’m completely traumatized by the fall of the US also, but without hope it becomes impossible to fight.

[quote]r72 = and his advice was to just have faith

Faith I got, ElderLez. Time...who knows?

I hear you about time and plenty of people with faith wind up in the ovens, but to paraphrase Martin Luther in one of his rare moments when he wasn’t cussing someone out even if I knew the world was going to end tomorrow I’d still plant my apple tree.

[quote]I’d still plant my apple tree.

A regular Helen Lawson, ElderLez.

R70, I honestly don’t think that demented yam gives a fuck about anyone outside of Vanky and Putin.

He won’t give a shit WHO gets hurt by the broligarchs, inquisition, shut downs, round ups and general chaos. Why should he give a fuck? Nobody is going to touch him NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES and they all know it.

It will the dumb white trash that will get cunt punted by his bullshit and most of them voted for it.

Listen, you can turn off notifications on your phone. Delete all of the news apps or turn off the notifications. None of us needs that added bullshit right now. Go cold turkey. He’s gonna do what he’s gonna do and there’s nothing we can do about it right now. Gather your strength.

Take care of YOUR shit. Do what you can to make yourself feel safe and secure. If that means hoarding cheap champagne and toilet paper, DO IT! Then stop worrying about it.

Personally, I think I may take up sign banditry. We had a great sign bandit around here back in 2018. Someone would post these handmade signs on the interstate on ramps that said stuff like “repubs are lying to us!” And “repubs are screwing us!”

I found that not only inspiring, but also encouraging. Like I wasn’t alone in this red state hell.

So I’m considering taking it up as a way to vent my own frustration and let rip with some thoughts I generally keep to myself. With my own “artistic” twist.

Social media sites are overrun with bots and Borises, so having a creative LOCAL and anonymous outlet for my rage seems the best I can do. Join me.

Satire.

Trump thanks Mark Burnett for not releasing The Apprentice tapes:

Aside from everything else, why exactly do we need a "special envoy" to the United Kingdom? I thought special envoys were for those complicated situations, as in war zones like the Middle East, where the usual diplomatic niceties aren't enough.

What next? Will Caitlyn Jenner finally get her sought appointment to a new role as Trans Ambassador to the World? Trump can deliver on that.

She started the quest in 2016 with Ted Cruz:

We need special envoys to reward our co-conspirators with a high status position with lots of glamorous travel and other nice perks. A "thank you" gesture for keeping the crazy, damaging shit I've said and done away from the American publics eyes. We're also aggressively slashing social programs environmental protections, and worker safety regulations. Social Security is next for a slashing.

Shall Lady Lindzebelle be taking frequent junkets to the Bahamas to consult with the new ambassador?

Happy Holidays fellow Treason thread posters!

Same to you, FCI! Happy holidays!

Wishing everyone a happy recovery to the Greatest Depression yet to come, after Trump steals all our money and gold while people are being distracted by Elton Moose.

Happy New Year.

What a lovely thought R86.

People will finally feel the UNEASINESS that Biden prevented.

Seems Americans are like Russians. Suffering is ingrained... unless you pay for Prosperity Jesus and belong to a money laundering religious sect.

My niece enclosed this bit of wisdom in her Christmas text to me:

Merry belated Christmas!

I wish people didn't vote to have a horrible person as president.

Let's have a little good news. I think we all could use it.

[quote]Billionaires are mostly despicable Montgomery-Burns type people. But then there’s MacKenzie Scott, one of the few ultra-rich who doesn’t deserve to get tarred and feathered in the coming revolution! She’s the third-wealthiest woman in the United States, 38th in the world, and has now given away $19.25 billion (with a B!) in 2,524 charitable gifts, with a focus on racial equality, LGBTQ+ equality, democracy, and climate change.

She needs to start donating to reading education and comprehension.

Perhaps you should suggest that, r94.

[quote]And then she gives away the money with no strings attached.

[quote]And she plans to “keep at it until the safe is empty."

[quote]But don’t worry, she’s still got about $32 billion left to make do with!

Finally, some good news:

Pandering by a Southern Baptist.

(R97)

Happy New Year to all the regulars her, (FCI, Della, Doris, etc).

I'm also a regular of this thread but I choose to stay anonymous for reasons well known...well, only to me.

I wanted to wait for the celebrations to be over so as not to ruin for those who are still capable of enjoying them, before asking this Mary question:

I have been feeling and dealing with this impending sense of doom since Election Day. As we ease closer to January 6th, then of course, Inauguration Day. I guess I thought (or hoped) some reasonable frame of mind would eventually make the feeling subside, but it's only gotten worse,

I strongly believe everything that's about to happen is far more horrible and sinister than even the most Mary skeptics on this thread.

Anybody else?

1) ^^I'm thinking it could/should be its own thread, but wanted to start here first....cuz I trust you guys more than the general DLers.

2) I love being the #100 reply of a thread whenever possible!

Happy New Year. r99/r100 - I don't plan on spending the next four years like I have the past nine. Whatever happens happens. I'm not going to do dread anymore. Life's too short.

R100, I’m far from optimistic about this shit show, but for some reason, I have a feeling these twats won’t be able to do much of anything because they’ll spend the majority of time squabbling like the grifting whores they are.

Most of them are certifiably dumb AF and no clue how to wipe their own asses.

Just a pack of fuckwits truing to steal everything they can get their hands on.

Try to stay above it all and not get caught up in the asshattery and trolling. Point and laugh at every opportunity (there will be plenty).

This'll send Trump into a rage. (Mar-a-Lago staff, prepare to clean ketchup off the walls.)

R103 Isn't that the same Medal Trump gave Gym Jordan?

It means nothing now!

Also kind of funny/ironic that article profiles Liz Cheney receiving one, who during 1/6 when they were all in the White House being rushed to safety, Jordan offered assistance to Cheney who yelled back, (I'm paraphrasing), "This is all your fault!'.

You mean the guy who asked for a pardon but never got one?

R99 HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you!

Like Doris, I’m not going to let them steal my happiness anymore. Yes, things are going to get bad, really bad. I can’t stop it. The only solace I will have is watching all these maga fucks suffer along with us. They’ll never admit it, or blame Biden and the Democrats, but they will know it is Bone Spurs making their lives hell.c

Prepare like I’ve suggested. Do what’s in your power, then sit back and relax.

Personally, I'm feeling more cold cynical pessimism than true dread, but we will of course see what we will see. I am pretty sure mass deportations will happen, for months. Then, well, we will see an awful lot of farmers and other employers suddenly realize how stupid they are and how ridiculous their wishes are. Only then, might there be a chance to rethink things, maybe.

Other things, like punishing all of Trump's perceived enemies will probably turn into a big mess with a lot of stupid people not knowing what they are doing and failing to get shit done. Tariffs will probably be a big fucking joke, with a lot of horseshit scrambling around and a lot of people running to Trump at Mar a Lago (I'm guessing he'll barely live in the White House, which he hates) and coming up with a million reasons and bribes to ensure the tariffs don't fall on them. Other shit, well who knows, mostly a lot of clusterfucks going on by stupid, angry, bitter clowns who have whims but no real expertise.

Don’t know if any of you saw this, but it’s a fascinating (and terrifying) read.

Mr “Williams”, if you happen by here, bravo to you!

One man with courage makes a majority.

Trump is holding a "Victory Rally" somewhere in DC the day before his inauguration. HE'S SO OBNOXIOUS.

r109....

That’s to actively discourage protesters from holding marches against the oligarchs.

r109, a victory over the Constitution?

If anybody is still interested, this seems reasonable to me.

I haven’t watched the news in two months and I feel amazing considering what’s coming. I’m almost completely off Twitter. I rarely look at Bluesky. I don’t use Facebook or IG.

For once, I’m going to be the ignorant asshole who everyone comes up to saying, “my god, have you seen what he’s done?” And I respond, “huh, what are you talking about? I’m too busy for politics.”

I’m done paying attention to him, FCI. He’s all about diverting our attention away from the important shit. And the (corporate) media is complicit in this, as they get the clicks from his shenanigans. I turned on CNN for the first time since the election because of the wildfires, and the minute they showed him blaming Gavin Newsom, I clicked it off. I will not make that mistake again.

Yea, I stopped reading certain new sites because they just stoke the drama.

I don’t GAF about that fucking traitor’s latest brain fart or verbal diarrhea. Let him run his mouth. He’s gonna have a tough row to hoe and too fucking bad.

I have better things to do. And it’s nice just to ignore his dumb shit (and 80% of his anus utterings is dumb shit)

Looks like we might Jack Smith’s partial report tomorrow, according to this story.

And, I believe Canada is supposed to release THEIR report on election interference sometime this week or next.

Jack Smith has resigned. Biden better issue blanket pardons to everyone involved with trying to bring Dump to justice.

Smith and his team deserve preemptive pardons, for sure. Garland doesn't. Then again, Trump wouldn't bother going after him would he?

I wholeheartedly endorse the war on stupidity.

"Making people feel embarrassed for believing claptrap or speaking a bald-faced lie isn’t cruel. It’s corrective.

We don’t coddle our kids when they spew nonsense or think the truth is irrelevant. We correct them. And we do that to avoid the kind of chaos Trump has brought and continues to bring."

Trump’s Team Struggles To Hire Staffers Over His Insane Loyalty Demands

I’m going to miss President Biden so much. I hated how Republicans barely got control of the House the last two years. We were so close to seeing what this magnificent man could further accomplish.

This will be the most dangerous and incompetent administration in history.

This will be a D-List administration, chock full of liars, cheats, opportunists, and sociopaths. No one with integrity, intelligence, decency, and a dedication to true public service will work for them. Only losers and snake oil sellers need apply.

I believe it will fail from within as they fight each other for the attention of pile of shit with stupid hair.

Yes, r134.

In my fantasies, Biden has left numerous bombs meant to go off when the traitor attempts to sell us out, or undo any of the things Biden put in place to bring jobs back.

I hope Biden is wily enough to know what was coming and to strengthen any guardrails or set traps for the idiots.

R134, 137

I wish I could share your sentiments. But we are in this horrible mess because Biden didn't do the one most important necessary thing to protect this country: He didn't hold Trump and all those other Maga Congressman and Senators accountable.

I'm now thinking Garland was deliberately made AG so as to run out the clock. I can't help but think it's been a ruse all this time.

Sorry, I'm just getting more fidgety as Inauguration Day approaches. It's like getting into a shuttle at the airport terminal to get on a plane you know is gonna crash. But you're already in transit and there's not a damn thing you can do about it!

I really think it's gonna be so much worse than anyone realizes. Why? Because with all the signs, we should NOT be in this situation! We were conned, perhaps even by our Democratic representatives.

The Jack Smith report just dropped

I understand, r138.

I still want to believe that once Biden realized what an asshat Garland was/is, he decided to set up some IEDs since Garland refused to act.

Oh, and Jack Smith’s report has dropped. Cunt Cannon denied the traitor’s appeal to stop it. Or whatever bullshit he was trying to pull.

The Jack Smith report says the evidence against Trump was strong enough that he would have certainly been convicted if he had gone to trial

Here it is!

Still want to know who Co-conspiritor Six is...

This was clearly deliberate, by Garland with Biden's approval. Some say they purposely delayed so the trials could be closer to the election. Others say Biden (and others) didn't want to denigrate the presidency by convicting a former president. Doesn't matter, the ball was obviously dropped and we're about to find out the ramifications.

the ball was dropped, but I'm not sure that means it was all intentional. We jump to that too quickly sometimes. This was probably the usual assdragging that unfortunately we Democrats are prone to, combined with some high-minded belief that the attorney general needs to be almost insanely nonpartisan. Regardless, Garland was absolutely the wrong pick for this. Needed a pitbull who would not let shit like boneheaded precedent and vague outdated ideas get in the way of prosecuting a career criminal and traitor.

It was obvious that Biden had no control over Garland overwise there would have been no investigation into his son. Joe was a dumbass for being so "hands-offs" and "No way we'll have another Barr situation here!". Right, ok. Well with what your AG should have been prosecuting, Joe, this guy was a shitty choice. He couldn't have gotten it done if Biden had FDR's term.

Just to be clear, it is my suspicion that Merrick Garland was specifically appointed AG because of his "spotless" reputation and "ability" to make decisions that were non-partisan. Like Mueller before him (cough, cough), he was considered to have the utmost regard for justice! (still coughing). But that reputation was based on a fallacy well-known to those in the justice system. That fallacy being how brilliantly he handled the Oklahoma Bombing Case and Timothy McVeigh.

Garland really didn't do shit, he was credited for somebody else's work.

(I can provide a link if anyone is interested. I'm not posting it here because it's less pertinent to the gripe I'm about to make).

It was understood by TPTB, Garland would NOT go after Trump. He would use the excuse of legal bureaucracy to run out the clock.

The whole time we as a nation believed Garland's office was working frantically behind the scenes - in secret - gathering info/intel on Trump and the organizers of The Insurrection, we later learned he was doing NOTHING! We learned this ONLY AFTER the Republican-led J6 Committee completed their investigation - when it was revealed Garland hadn't taken one damn legal step!

(remember when Robert Mueller secretly had Trump's tax records? Yeah, right!)

It was at this point Biden could have fired Garland with complete justification despite the predicted blowback by our (corrupt) Republicans in office. Biden could have circumvented Senate approval and appointed Sally Yates or Doug Jones "temporarily" to get the necessary job done. (just like when Trump appointed POS toilet-licker Matt Whitaker after firing James Comey).

It's my contention that Garland did exactly what he was hired to do - NOTHING! - NOT what we justice-believing Democratic citizens thought he was hired to do - UPHOLD THE RULE OF LAW!

Why? - I can't f'king figure it out!

But why did Biden keep Chris Wray as head of FBI?

Why didn't he get rid of Postmaster General Louis De Joy - who was clearly DESTROYING sorting machines to fuck up our mail system. Yeah, there were some complications - but give me a fucking break! - if it were Trump, he'd have figured out a way of firing them anyway!

We were duped!

Biden and Co. are reasonably skillful at getting his way. He has accomplished more than a decent amount while in office. He didn't want Trump fully punished. He thought Trump's repulsiveness and incompetence would still be lingering in the air, and he (Biden) would win in '24 based on that and the "sanity" Biden offered. Repugs knew to attack the "sanity" part with dementia accusations and by constantly calling out every single social stance the Democrats stood for as UNHINGED INSANITY. The big "insanity" of the Biden presidency was failing to swiftly prosecute Trump.

Merrick Garland ignored and delayed for almost two full years. He didn’t do his job in any commendable way. He didn’t earn his paychecks. Lazy, timid, fearful, and having allegedly hidden affections for the Republican beltway establishment, are not collectively enduring characteristics.

Arizona DA asks for AND GETS Smith’s report to use in lawsuits against fake electors.

How many more STATES will file suit? Michigan, I’m looking at you. Wisconsin, step up!

Forgot link! Duh

R148 You believe what the general consensus of reasonable American Dems believe. I just don't buy it.

I had been saying since Day 1 that, yes, Biden's accomplished quite a bit, but (again) his many accomplishments mean absolutely nothing if Trump and his Klan aren't brought to justice - AND - all Biden's accomplishments will be reversed - just like Obama's when Trump was installed POTUS in 2017.

So what's the f'king point?

I disagree about Trump's incompetence - with you and just about everybody else; logical thinkers I am normally in line with.

Without realizing, many of you still give Trump the benefit of the doubt.

It's not that he was incompetent. He was WILLFULLY incompetent. For example: it's not that he woefully bumbled Covid: His administration took advantage of the blue states' shortage of supplies - DELIBERATELY - to make them weak so they'd have to beg for help! (This is documented! google Jared Kushner red states/blue states). Trump took supplies meant for Americans and sent them to Putin! Could Trump have committed greater acts of Treason? (Oh, I don't know, like stealing then storing boxes of top secret documents in his Mar-a-Lago bathroom, then selling those secrets to our enemies???)

Biden didn't want Trump punished? Why would that be? Did Biden feel sorry for Trump cuz he had a mushroom dick?

I don't buy it! There is something far more insidious at play! And I'm terrified for when it's revealed.

R152, I mentioned Biden's competence to show that if Biden would have wanted Trump prosecuted fully, Trump would have been prosecuted fully. Biden didn't want that. For "some reason", Biden thought we'd be better off without having a former president prosecuted. He thought he'd win again in '24 due in part to all the traitorous and idiotic things Trumps said and did. After Jan 6, no one thought Trump would rebound, and then after the Jan 6 committee's report, it seemed there would be no fucking way Trump could possibly be a viable candidate. But Trump kicked his lying propaganda machine into overtime, and convinced swing voters that all of the country's problems were all the fault of Democrats. And Biden's obvious decline and the uninspiring, Harris campaign message of "just more of the same" didn't bring Democrats out to vote. Trump has lied and promised he'll fix everything, and bring forth change. I doubt we're going to appreciate the change he has in mind.

I still think those bomb threats - phoned in from RUSSIA- we’re a distraction so malicious software could be loaded into the tabulators.

Remember, the GQP busted into several machines in Coffee County, GA and tampered with them back in 2020.

They knew what to do and how. They just had to wait for 2024.

Why did so many down ballot races go to Democrats? But these same people voted for Dump? Be serious.

R153. see R127

R154 I agree, but you forgot Trump at his final MSG Nazi Rally "We don't need the votes" , just before an aide pulled him off. saying "Shut the Fuck Up!"

There are several articles claiming that the Harris campaign's own internal polling showed them behind. They were optimistic because they were receiving record donations, but they're own people were telling them they were behind. Until qualified election workers come forward and claim "rigged", or even if some Democratic players step up and call it our, I'm not buying it.

I was wrong about Garland. He was a huge disappointment. He'll go down as one of the worst AGs ever. I don't blame President Biden. He is old school, and felt getting his hands dirty interjecting himself into this would backfire. We'll never know if that would've made things worse or not. He should've fired Garland BUT he was prosecuting Hunter.

So, wily old Joe get a cease fire in Gaza? Release of the remaining hostages?

That’s what I’m hearing.

That's a big fucking deal. Well done, President Biden.

The legacy media is, I'm sorry to report and from what I've read, saying nothing about President Biden negotiating the deal, but that ( sigh) "Trump is taking credit" and writing what he and his lackeys are saying. JFC.

I gave up reading more sources after ABC News just flat out said Trump is taking credit, regurgitated his nonsense, and nothing about President Biden.

The legacy media installed Trump, R160. He's their guy. They didn't want Biden and they made sure he lost. After he's gone, the podsters will spit on him for fun. They could be men and stand up to Trump and fascism...but they won't. Because they all have much more fun -- and make more money-- trashing a good man like Joe and getting those outrage clicks.

[quote]Arizona DA asks for AND GETS Smith’s report to use in lawsuits against fake electors.

Now that is terrific news. Even if nobody files lawsuits in AZ it means Jack Smith's report and evidence will still be around if/when the Trump DOJ shitcans it.

President Biden to give his farewell speech tonight.

I can’t watch. I’m furious.

Trump got Mike Johnson to remove Mike Turner as head of the House Intelligence Committee...allegedly because Turner is too pro-Ukraine and too pro-NATO

Because...of course.

Biden didn’t pull any punches in that speech, r165.

He didn’t name check anyone, but he did say we’ve been taken over by oligarchy and SCROTUS is captured by reich wing nuts

Google searches for "oligarchy" went up after Biden's speech

He was correct.

Biden had 4 years to do something about it. Why didn't he?

I'm not trying to stir up shit. It's a serious question. I've yet to see an explanation that seems reasonable to me. Perhaps if I keep asking the question someone will respond with a view I've neither seen nor considered myself.

I completely understand, r169, and I get the frustration. I do. I feel the same way.

On one hand, I feel Biden did a lot of good stuff and kept us from falling off a cliff. Then, he refused to get someone in at DOJ to bust heads and clean the place up.

He refused to use his total immunity to get rid of the maggot filth in Congress and Dump once and for all.

I have no reasoning. I have no excuses. I’m as disappointed and frustrated as you are about this fucked up mess.

[quote]Perhaps if I keep asking the question someone will respond with a view I've neither seen nor considered myself.

Perhaps not, r169. Actually, probably not. One of the various theories out there (or perhaps a combination) explain the cause.

I think Joe Biden had too much faith in us. He believes in America and the American people. And we failed him (and ourselves).

R172 I know you're sincere. You believe what up to - (I don't know...) - 92% of the Democratic voters in this election believe.

But what if you're wrong? And Biden is wrong? And we did faithfully vote in overwhelming numbers? (as was reported the day before the election).

What if what I believe - and a very small minority of Democratic voters believe - is true: That it wasn't that our voters who didn't show up, it was our Voting Mechanism that was the cause for the horrible results we are now struggling with. That our system was infected, not just that many of the voting machines were implanted with codes changing results (as I believe some were), but that "they" managed to manipulate the final tallies in many precincts, ("they" being Leon, Putin, etc).

Why is it that TPTB are assuming the polls were wrong; that people lied in exit polls, or that - (and to me this is ridiculously implausible) - anywhere from 10 to 20 million Democratic voters JUST STAYED HOME!

Why can't they just CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY the machines were rigged, and do ONE F'KING RECOUNT! Pick a swing state. Any swing state, (N. Carolina would be a great choice!). See what results.

Is it because it would be so horrible to be compared to the 2020 Repub election deniers?

What does a criminal - one who has premeditatively committed a crime - do to prevent that crime from being investigated? He immediately accuses someone else - sometimes before the actual crime is even discovered - to throw off any possible suspicion that he himself might have committed such crime.

IMHO, that is exactly what they did ... and have been doing for more than a decade.

And it's working beautifully!

Trump intends to hand over Ukraine and the rest of Eastern Europe to Putin. He’ll gut NATO. Putin rules Trump more than Musk.

Not so fast to give up on NATO, r174.

Poland has stepped up to lead. I read last week that several NATO bases had been turned over to Poland to prevent the traitor from handing them over to his master.

NATO isn’t going down with a fucking huge ass fight that will drag Putin to hell where he belongs.

His military is decimated, his economy is failing and now he’s gone back to conscripting Russians to fight.

That motherfucker is on his last legs. The only thing he has is social media troll farms and lies.

I have to believe in our faithful allies, or I would die of despair. They won’t let us down.

r174, you mean start WW3?

Good, R175. GOOD! Finish him!

I think it would be brilliant of a coalition ow=f western nations also invade Ukraine. Invade Ukraine and move Russia out. No USA needed.

That may be the plan, r178.

Poland has had sufficient of Russia.

FYI , maggots are amplifying Putin’s propaganda regarding “threats” at the inauguration.

Well there you go, MAGAts. If you show up to the inauguration you will surely die. Stay away at all costs!

And everyone else of course.

Did MAGAts ever figure out the Beltway traffic after they went all in on their little Clown Convoy in N attempt to shut it down and were, instead, reduced to tears and fistfights amongst themselves because they couldn't hack it?

Or maybe they are going to Uber into DC to see Orange Jesus. I'm sure they could pay extra to be able to stap some Trump flags to the bumper.

It’s a cult.

[quote]This is not the #Resistance anymore, dearly beloveds. That was the first Trump term, when we could pretend this was an aberration, and that if we just clung to and supported institutions harder than anybody else, we could save the world. And we did bring it back from the brink, at least seemingly, at least for a few years.

[quote]But now it’s 2025. We are the opposition. We will either be a meaningful opposition or we will not. One way to not be a meaningful opposition is to collaborate with the fascists, especially on bills that were written and named by fascist think tanks and right-wing media, so as to give “bipartisan” cover to those assholes’ bigotry, xenophobia, and general Nazism.

There is no functioning coalition, “bipartisan center” in either the House or Senate. Republicans that want to work with Democrats on legislation and approving executive and judicial nominees, get threatened if they sway from Trump‘s demands.

Find your schadenfreude where you can.

It has only been a few days, I haven’t watched any news (plus we had our worst winter storm here since 1960), but what I’ve heard about Bone Spurs’ admin is bone chilling.

Not good news

Trump also paused funding for Pepfar, which funds HIV treatment across the world

It appears that ineptitude will once again get us through this.

Honestly, I get why people are retreating to self-care. And we all need that sometimes, but we can't overindulge in that. I hope we all don't drop out too damn much, because they never drop out. Never.

Unless there really is some serious divine intervention, there is no coming back from this. We're done!

Trump directs the Department of Labor to stop investigating workplace discrimination

This from the head of the Pro Rape Party.

Who'd a thunk?

WE. ARE. SO. FUCKED!

It's like We - as a country - are being repeatedly raped in real time. The Statue of Liberty is being forcefully held down on her stomach, as the rock-hard penis of injustice thrusts her backside again and again and again, deeper and deeper. At first, her resistance is strong and violent, but gradually eases to total submission. as blood first slowly then abundantly eases down the hallow cheeks.

Anybody here read Herbert Selby's Last Exit to Brooklyn? I'm thinking of that scene where the 15yr old prostitute Tra-la-la dies mid-way thru a gang rape of maybe 100 bar patrons. When it starts, she's so distraught and heartbroken she gleefully volunteers. The description by Selby is brilliant, devastating, and possibly the most disturbing passage I've ever read.

Right now, I can't get it out of my mind.

Btw, in the movie version, her age is upped and she's played by mid-20s Jennifer Jason Leigh. It's played less violently and she lives.

How it could have happened, statistically.

Question is, HOW.

Seems that this “tail” has been seen in Clark County, NV data and I’d bet elsewhere.

Question is, WHY WON’T ANY DEMOCRAT SAY THIS PUBLICLY? Why didn’t DHS investigate this fucking attack for the last four years? It allegedly happened in 2016 and again in 2022, 2024 but NO investigation at all under Biden? No threat mitigation?

So we just surrendered to motherfucking Putin without so much as a whimper?

The horror show is ramping up right on cue.

No. Take care of yourself and loved ones.

I think we'll beat these scumbags Nazis in the end, and opposition sometimes takes awhile to catch up to the overwhelming treachery.

Honestly, we have to go through this. Americans have become too complacent, entitled, nihilistic, coddled, too comfortable. This has been repeated over and over and over in history. This is why we can't have nice things.

I wish I could buy stock in lawyers. The next four years are going to be Dump doing shit like this (which is illegal) and lawyers fighting it all in court.

Not according to the Supreme Court.

Dump is doing the Lord’s work. Of course, his lord is Putin, who has instructed Dump to create havoc wherever he can.

R266 Goddamn. No, only the abject stupidity of American voters are to blame. They allowed the rich to have so much wealth and power, allowed Republican presidents to be elected despite poor track records as presidents to stack the SC with RW nutjobs. They've allowed themselves to become lazy, petulant, slovenly, nihilistic, entitled, proudly uninformed, and contrarian. I've answered thousands of constituent questions and I've seen this first hand. Fuck the voters.

FCI, can I ask why Garland refused to act or indict once the classified hoard was found in the traitor’s toilet?

Anyone else would have been arrested and detained immediately, but Garland just seemed to shrug it off.

That is why we all think HE is to blame. He wouldn’t act- even when there was flagrant lawbreaking

Firing and threatening the livelihoods of dedicated, non-partisan federal attorneys, some of whom have served multiple presidents, is not exactly going to endear DOJ’s staff to him.

When federal judges block his insane orders, Trump’ll need lawyers to defend his pronouncements in federal court. The president is represented by DOJ attorneys.

I’m sure they will give it their best shot.

Going after Head Start

R269, Garland sucked and didn’t do his job, but voters would’ve probably voted for him regardless.

What if it wasn't the voters fault? What if they actually did turn out in record numbers, as reported the day before Election Day, and Musk was successful in disappearing upwards of 15 million Dem votes?

I absolutely believe this election was hacked/rigged in all kinds of different ways, and part of the bonus Putin is getting is watching all of us fight amongst ourselves and blaming each other. For something many of us really aren't guilty of. At least not this time.

The OPM (office of personnel management) is being staffed by Elon Musk lackeys and a 21-year-old Peter Thiel twink

Putin has won. Holy fuck. Putin's plant Elon controls our government.

No wonder no one is standing up to them. We are already a husk.

I posted that YouTube video up thread about the “Russian tail” that showed up in larger (mostly Democratic) precincts on Election Day.

A statistical anomaly that showed up in EVERY swing state Democratic precinct.

Who will investigate? The secretaries of state? Leon would have have to be charged at state level so dump couldn’t pardon him.

It would have to have been done before Inauguration Day, while Biden was still POTUS. Since then, the Drump administration has been systematically eliminating anybody and everybody who could even hint at any kind of anomaly or investigation. He just fired all the inspector generals, did he not?

There was a small contingent of dedicated, and desperate people trying to get to Kamala and anyone in her campaign. There were urgent letters sent.

They had to have known something was up. Why did Kamala concede so early?

DOJ Pride, an LGBTQ employee resource group at the Department of Justice, has shut down more than a week after President Donald Trump signed an executive order seeking to root out all diversity, equity and inclusion measures from the federal government.

The group “ceased to operate effective immediately,” the group’s board said in an email sent to members Tuesday evening.

“In this time of uncertainty and concern, we have taken the extraordinary measure of ceasing operations of DOJ Pride,” the message said. “We have made this decision in the interest and for the protection of all members.”

^^One DOJ staffer said the dissolution of DOJ Pride is "“extraordinarily alarming and echoes back to the days not so long ago that federal employees were fired or barred from employment for merely being gayIf I could go back into the closet at work, I would.”

Left another message on the local Moreno VM since that was the only one I could get that didn’t have a full mailbox.

So SOMEONE is flooding them with calls. Who or about what, idk, but their phones are ringing off the hook and their VMs are full.

That’s something, anyway.

Honestly r354, it's because some people, actually many people, are racist cunts. Can we all please stop living in some fucking dream world where the average American is a noble and delightful child of God?

Check this out. I read this back in 2016 when she first posted it. It scared the shit out of me. But I also thought, perhaps, she was overstating or overreacting.

Re-reading it now, it could have been written yesterday. Yet I find it oddly comforting.

Anybody think it deserves its own thread?

Michael Bennet (CO Senator) says people are having trouble getting through to his office because of the huge number of calls

R353 I hear ya. I’m going to let the ones who screamed both sides are the same, shit on Biden nonstop, and slammed Democrats every chance they got clean up this mess.

If they are successful in tanking the dollar for crypto BS we’ll be robbed blind, and I fear China will take us over. Hyperbolic? I don’t think so.

Hyperbole has become the norm in a Trump shambolic world.

I'm waiting for one Repug to do something even remotely heroic, but it doesn't seem like that's going to happen. All this while the power of the legislature is being trampled on so they will end up with no power to do anything in the long run.

Maybe at some point some Repug does do something heroic, but it's too late to make any difference.

Honestly, I don't know how some of the so-called "saner" GOP lawmakers can look themselves in the mirror every day. If they have even a modicum of self-awareness, they have to be filled with self-loathing.

Or they are simply no "saner" than any other GOPer, 4362.

GOP toadies: "It's what Americans voted for."

Agree, there's no hope there r366. I would've thought Tulsi would be a step too far for most of them, since she's a total crank and a Russian stooge who clearly has no intention of protecting the U.S. in any way. I would've thought people like Lindsay Graham would say, no, she's the opposite of everything I've ever said about anything, so no to this one.

I was naive about that. It's all whoring, all the time now, for all of them.

They've been promised a spot in some underground bunker that will mysteriously not be available when it's needed.

I guess they don't yet realize, when they are no longer of use to TPTB, they are as expendable as we peasants.

That will be an interesting day, when the scales fall from their eyes.

Congressional Democrats denied entry to the Treasury Department

We the people of the United States need to speak out.

We have been, r371.

I’ve been calling my senators abs rep since Monday about Leon’s attack on the treasury , but all I’ve gotten is busy signals and full vms.

The GQP has gone dark - cowering in fear. Caught between pissed off constituents and a fucking demented narcissist.

You don't want to know what my friends in DC are saying. Trust me.

From a columnist at Forbes.

Not for the faint of heart.

Hi FCI. Yes, we want to know... What are your friends saying? The most outlandish and egregioushits have been coming from that motherfucker for over 8 years now. We can handle it. Say what you can. And as always, thanks..

Spill it, FCI, we can handle it.

R375 Hi Elder. I kind of did at r374. That's about as much of a dire warning as they get.

Listen to what your most trusted representatives are saying carefully. Watch their tone, facial expressions.

The pushback from Senate Republicans they expected didn't happen and the most dangerous nominees are being confirmed. The last hail Mary are the courts and SC. So, they are saying America is probably gone. For good. If our currency gets put on crypto we'll have unstoppable trillionaires with unlimited power. They'll buy off everyone they need to. No SS, Medicare, retirement, safety net. You need food and are desperate? Homeless? Bye. You'll be worthless. Chinese or Russian boots on American soil?

I'll be accused of dooming, and honestly I want them to be so wrong. Use Nazi Germany as a guide to how to survive this. Personally, most of this will come to pass. The worst things. But, I think they'll be tremendous pushback at some point and we'll prevail. Immense damage will be done, but these are essentially stupid people. They'll fuck up.

That's all I got. For those whose mental health has really suffered YOU ARE AMONG TENS OF MILLIONS. You are NOT alone. Just take care of yourself. Do what you can do. Allow others to fight the fight. Fight the mother fucking maga cunts here on DL. 😃

[QUOTE] You don't want to know what my friends in DC are saying. Trust me.

Hi, I’m back. Also, I can back FCI up on this. The word “from the street” here in D.C. is not good and it gets worse every day.

So, I’m actually a Jefferson and I don’t think my great-great-great-uncle Thomas would be into any of this AT ALL.

R378 Hi DC gay. Yeah, not good! Anything specific you're hearing?

Hey, FCI. I’m hooking up with my main source this weekend and hope to get some good, solid intel (he is very connected and I’ve brought his stuff to these threads in the past).

Specifically, I have heard from others to stock up on essentials and cash - you are definitely not the only one promoting that. I’ve been taking out cash every three days from the ATM so as not to trigger any spies (you never know).

They really are trying to burn and dismantle everything as quickly as possible. People telling you “we’ve filed a lawsuit!” - yeah, I’m not really heartened by lawsuits right now. There is no time.

R380 For us 3rd Graders here, please specifically define "essentials", as in, please make a short list. In case there's an essential I'm forgetting, thanks.

R380 Looking forward to what your source has to say and what advice he gives.

Thanks, friend!

Folks inside the federal agencies are for sure being forced to ignore the Rhode Island TRO.

But so much of this is people deciding whom to obey.,

Miz Lindz has a primary challenger already.

If the government/economy is about to collapse, US currency will too.

Trump administration evicts former Coast Guard leader from her house with 3 hours notice:

NYT:

Two weeks into President Trump’s sweeping freeze on foreign aid, H.I.V. groups abroad have not received any funding, jeopardizing the health of more than 20 million people, including 500,000 children. With the near closure of the American aid agency known as U.S.A.I.D. and its recall of officers posted abroad, there is little hope that the situation will resolve quickly, experts warned.

Now community health centers are closing down due to lack of funding

Essentials are beans, rice, medications. Bottled water or filters.

Food that has a long shelf life and doesn’t need refrigeration. Dried meats, dehydrated stuff.

Coffee or tea. Personal items like soap, shampoo, tampons, deodorant. Pet food and medications.

How long will any of those supplies last in a dystopian hellscape?

I'm literally sick with anger at the idiots who allowed this to happen.

I'm not panicking get you all are seriously scaring me.

Time to go out in the back and plant some potatoes.

If all this is true, can't the military stop it?

Yes, we are kind of fucked. Short term have some cash on hand, stuff to barter with like booze/weed, shelf stable food items, meds etc. Things may get super hairy. I don't think we’re going to lose electricity etc but folks are going to try and flex, so just be prepared. If you have a path out of the US I would start thinking about it..

Your only post, r391?

R392, nope

Do not panic, r390. Don’t.

There is a difference between being prepared and panicking. We are advocating being prepared.

Get a few hundred dollars in cash. IF YOU CAN. If not, get what you can out. Just so you have it in case you need it.

Get an extra month or so of prescriptions. Dried beans and rice. Plant your potatoes and other vegetables. Get extra pet food.

This is all stuff you would use or need anyway, just extra in case that fucking prick crashes the economy.

Honestly, it may take a minute before the supply chains shut down, so you have time.

No panic. Just determined, defiant preparation.

I hate to post this stuff here, but it’s important to protect your pantry items.

Use bay leaves in your pantry. They repel meal moths. Meal moths will get into your rice, mixes, barley, pasta and ruin them. You can also put a bay leaf into your biscuit mix and flour.

You can put the bay leaves inside of the packaging. I put mine inside the package and I have several out on the shelves. You can pick up a big old pack of bay leaves for a reasonable price at your local Indian grocer.

If you get extra pantry items, using bay leaves will help to keep them useable.

David Rothkopf's BlueSky has been a great news resource. Check it out.

I’ve seen DL fight back more against the trolls. That’s good.

Of course, essentials are food items for you and your pets, toiletries, batteries, solar powered lights and fans and charging stations, gas, cash. Look up emergency kits/packs. R389 and r391 have good recommendations. Again, these are things you would use anyway or need in our climate changing world.

Join Bluesky and you will find great resources and community which is important for your mental health. As r394 said, don’t panic. Prepare.

Bluesky has gone along way in helping me keep my sanity these past few days.

Surprisingly, Morgan Fairchild and Heather Thomas highlight a lot of great posts to view.

Odd, I thought the new administration wanted to put a stop to singling out groups for special treatment.

No. There is nothing I can see to do about it for now. One of Musk’s droogie programmers currently hacking the US Treasury is gonna drink too much and spill how they hacked the election. Probably already has. What can happen as the leaks grow, is unclear to me. IANAL. If you disagree, cool. If you think I should stop saying the election was manipulated, just unfollow me. I truly don’t care.

FWIW those who hold the view that the election was manipulated hold the more optimistic worldview.. Those who do not believe our fellow citizens were conned and/or unbelievably stupid, and gave away our former democracy to a felon, conman, traitor, molester, and rapist. In my view they are better than that. Debate it all you wish.

For my part, I have accepted the United States Government has ended our frustrating and annoying 2000-2024 period of post-democracy. We now have a full on fascist regime, though even many of the fascists are having a hard time adjusting to this new reality.

In the 50 States, the scope, speed and scale of fascism's impact will vary based on the compliance/non-compliance from the leadership of each State. I also see a best case scenario at this point. The United States disunites, becoming three or four smaller nations. I also see much worse cases, including the same dis-unification igniting global wars of conquest as America’s former power becomes a vacuum. I appreciate many wish to return to the way things were. A sweet wish. I don’t see the path from here to there.

Here are things I accept come with facism, which I would encourage you to accept as well:.....

And Biden didn’t even ask for an investigation or a recount.

What the actual fuck?

Merrick Garland - the pussy ass bitch who ignored the fascist peril and sold us out to Putin.

Bet that asshole made a deal with dump so HE isn’t prosecuted

I bought a tub of MRE type food off of Amazon (one for regular meals/one for fruits and veggies) which have a 25 year shelf life an emergency radio -solar powered-, a small water filtration system, and some small safes that look like every day house items to store $, passport, weapon, and so on. I live in hurricane alley so I can use this stuff regardless.

Link, FCI?

I'm glad a judge is looking into the Fed employees buy out offer. It's Trump, therefore shady.

Go to Amazon. Search “survival kits” and all sorts of items pop up.

[quote]And Biden didn’t even ask for an investigation or a recount.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof?

Count me as one who absolutely believes Elmo fucked with vote tabulations. Perhaps he figured out a way to do it and destroy the evidence. (he had some starlink satellites conveniently crash 4 days after the election.) Could be any concrete evidence was wiped. Good hackers know how to fuck with things and not leave a trail.

I posted this in another thread: people in DC now see this as truth.

“Republicans were planning their coup way back then- that’s why they wanted to topple Clinton, and stole 2000. Obama was too much for them to steal in 2008, but they thought they had enough to steal 2012 (Rove admitted this out loud on TV). They stole 2016, and 2024. A coup of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA doesn’t happen in just 8 years. This shit was planned a long time ago. Republicans knew their economic policies were NOT popular with voters.”

I still want proof, but I do believe the election was stolen. Without a doubt. I had just left DC when Citizens United was decided. Many of us knew then they didn’t want democracy. Too many believed there would be enough Republicans to never allow the worst. When you have so much money in the hands of so few that is horrifying and will only lead to less freedoms.

Did Musk also hack Kamala's internal polls, all of which showed her losing to Trump?

Until that is somehow explained, I'm not giving these claims much credence. I'm afraid the sad truth is that 80 million American voters preferred the orange felon -- and millions more weren't excited enough about Kamala or scared enough about Trump to bother to vote.

Yeah I’m not down with blueanon either.

Schools stopped teaching 1984 and Lord of the Flies and all of the survivors of WW2 are dead and TicToxic killed what survived of social institutions and young men went fascist.

Trump is considering cutting Medicaid, a large number of his base will be affected. I'm not surprised one bit, he doesn't need their votes anymore.

Congress just confirmed Project 2025 author Russell Vought as director of the Office of Management and Budget.

As I’ve said, I have my beliefs, but I need proof. Until then, I go about my business fearing more people didn’t GAF about our country being led by a rapist felon.

As I expected, Trump is trying to burn it all down. He's an evil fucker along with Musk. Can't wait until they get their deserves.

R413, barf. He is a Christian nationalist wingnut

We need to primary every Dem senator who is voting for this shit and every house member who refuses keep screaming the the HOUSE CONTROLS THE PURSE. Not that Nazi whale and his incel pricks.

No mercy for these fucking pussies who have left us to the wolves because they don’t think this is serious.

Trump and Musk are rather repulsive looking.

I am going to use my resources to fight the Fascists, not Democrats.

We kept being told we had to VOTE HARDER, and instead of bring the Orange Turd up on charges, "Let the voters decide...."

I can understand that r420, but of course it doesn't make the slightest fucking bit of difference right now.

R420, they HAVE brought the Orange Turd up on charges. He's a convicted 30+ felony criminal. Impeached twice. None of it has mattered so far

Trump fires the Chairman of The Kennedy Center and names HIMSELF as the new chairman!

What is next for Elon Musk? He’ll send ambassadors around the world to sell his messages of eliminating government waste, no taxes and regulations for billionaire, and prepare for him to be anointed grand potentate of the world.

For examples:

Kellyanne Conway to the salons of Paris.

Ms. Lindsey to the baths of Istanbul.

Caitlyn Jenner to the villages of Uganda.

Laura.Loomer to the chateaus of the Swiss Alps

Peter Thiel to the river stilt homes of Bangladesh.

The possibilities are endless for Musk.

Bitch, I'm not going to Bangladesh. Send me somewhere with lots of white twinks

I know this is asking a lot, but can someone explain to me how Drump and Leon are committing one blatantly illegal act after another and nobody is doing anything about it???

Not even anything of.....um....questionable legality???

Lots of people are doing lots of things and if they were obeying the courts they’d be stymied but they aren’t so they aren’t. But to answer the non literal part of your question:

1) inability to grasp what is occurring

2) fear

3) confusion whose job it is to intervene

Also fuck Curtis Yarvin. If the oath keepers actually cared about their oaths he would be no longer a problem.

Keep in mind, rump's original tax cuts for the wealthy sunset out in 2025. They're raiding the US treasury, gutting departments. and firing people as fast as they can to pay for even more tax cuts for the wealthy this year, along with cashing in vast sums with our money. All the funding hacked by smuk will be shared by the oligarchs.

It looks like Hitler, Mussolini, and Caligula now have a grip on the US government. The courts and the people will not let them get away with this. These people are so blatantly cruel and destructive that they will be stopped. I believe this. Maybe civil war, maybe the military, or maybe elections will put an end to it. My questions are, what will our democracy look like at that point, and who will replace them.

I'm in my 70s and ready to join the resistance and fight them tooth and nail. What do I have to lose? Fuck those motherfuckers. They will go down, maybe even Mussolini style..

Yesterday, Trump said he was stripping security clearances from a number of those who stood up to him, including former Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, MSNBC regulars Andrew Weissman and Norm Eisen, New York AG Letitia James and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg.

A spokesperson for James' office said she doesn't have a security clearance.

His contempt for the law is surpassed only by his contempt for the idiots who think he's actually accomplishing something with these stunts.

Candidates for national security jobs are being passed over if they don't think the 2020 election was stolen

Believing an obvious lie seems like an odd criterion for an intelligence agent.

DC gay, any news?

I'm not hearing good things at all.

HAVE CASH!

What are you hearing FCI?

FCI, unfortunately the rendezvous with my contact was canceled this weekend so I have nothing new to report.

However, I have talked to many people who are getting out as much cash out as they can. Also - I have no idea how to do this - but I’ve heard people talking about off-shore accounts. Bank freezes are a common authoritarian move.

I believe the Mis-administration is going to make a bold move soon. And they are definitely conditioning the populace for the moment when they refuse/ignore court orders. You’ll notice that Speaker Mike Johnson did not push back when asked if Trump was allowed to ignore a court order. They’re all in on it.

We will finally have our “consitutional crisis.”

Will report anything else I find out here.

Gabbard is a stunningly dangerous choice.

Murkowski also said she'd vote for RFK Jr

I don't understand why Collins and Murkowski voted against Hegseth but are voting for other nominees who are just as bad

Because they're useless and dead inside and just absolute nothings in the grand scheme of government, r469.

I do not understand how Tulsi Gabbard was accepted. Makes no sense.

None of this makes sense. I hate this country.

“With our government data systems comprised, printing and/or downloading a copy of everything you have paid into social security is a good idea. You can do this on www.ssa.gov

President Donald Trump charged millions of dollars for a single 15-minute meeting and has privately boasted of making $500 million from deep-pocketed executives looking to gain his favor, according to the Wall Street Journal. The paper reported that Meredith O’Rourke, Trump’s top fundraiser, said a minutes-long sit down with the MAGA chief would sting into the millions.

I really think the Democrats should file for articles of impeachment. It’s not about the fact that it will go absolutely nowhere with the Republicans being in charge, it’s about making a definitive statement to the American people (as well as the entire world) that Trump is a criminal openly running a corrupt administration and that he must be removed as soon as possible. (If the shoe was on the other foot, we all know the Republicans would have done the same by now.) I don’t know exactly how these things work but I also think Hakeem Jeffries should be the one who does it because I think it would carry more weight coming from him as minority leader (vs. some lesser known Democrat in the House).

I think they should start with impeaching Vance. They can say that he’s led Trump astray cavorting with foreign traitors like Musk.

Warmer weather is coming. There will be increasing protests.

Get out of Washington, and build on the protests at state capitals around the country. Target the near100% of Republicans in the legislative branch, demanding that they denounce and vote against the.Trump/Musk damaging initiatives.

The Democrats are currently a minority in the House. It will be near impossible to adapt the Articles of Impeachment in committee, and move such for a floor vote.

Impeachment will become a midterm issue.

We have to see how Republicans hold America hostage through the Budget Negotiaions.

The big theme will be...

IS THIS WHAT YOU VOTED FOR??

Someone on another thread said this, and I think it needs to catch on -

Billionaires or Nice things

Choose one.

IS THIS WHAT YOU VOTED FOR??

Almost always, we see Elon with Rump in interviews etc.

Is Elon his handler? Putin wants to ensure he stays in line and has assigned Elon the task.

It’s certainly starting to look that way.

It's like Elon, not Vance, is his Vice President. Does Miss JD even have a job in this administration?

Susan Collins has some concerns and has given Trump a stern warning!

Susan Collins is a homely, mannish, useless dyke.

Susan,

IS THIS WHAT WE VOTED FOR??

On behalf of useless dykes, we don’t want her.

That was me at R546. I just seriously cannot deal with that woman and her “concern” levels this go-around.

Love you, ElderLez!

Love you more DCgay.

Trump has declared himself king now.

Are we getting a Queen Melania too?

Sic Semper Tyrranis

R551, no, we're getting Queen Elon

DC gay- did you hear the rumors about a high level staffer (initials RS and who is gay) for a prominent Republican senator who said he would be “making plans” if he were gay and didn’t have connections? I don’t have good connections on the Senate side so I can’t get any more information about what plans we should be making.

Anyone beyond Miss Lindsey as Queen is unacceptable.

FCI, I haven’t heard anything about that but I would continue in the same vein as you have been.

Hi all, I’ve posted thread #74. Please complete this thread before moving on to the next one.

The MAGA Mafia:

They were ok with this shit when they were getting what they wanted.

Now, death threats are a problem. Don’t expect Bazi Barbie Bondi to give a shit.

Trump administration hires homophobic judge Vance Day, who refused to marry gay couples

I’ve seen a lot more fight from DL against right wingers lately.

R558 they need to understand that it doesn’t get better if they comply.

Could we America's first general strike?

Could we see America having it's first General Strike?

[quote]I’ve seen a lot more fight from DL against right wingers lately.

I've seen a lot more DL right wingers lately.

There’s a purchasing strike on the 28th.

R565 I haven’t. It seems the normie DLers swarm the right wingers here when they post, which didn’t happen before. The RWers were usually ignored since that was the way DLers generally deal with trolls. DLers aren’t having that nonsense now.

Love you FCI, but I ignore / block no one on the DL.

Trust me, there are a lot more DL right wingers lately.

R568 Same, but thankfully I'm not seeing it as much as before. Maybe it just seems better now that more are going at them.

Self-loathing MAGA elder gays, Gen Xers, etc., are not difficult to spot. They are aggressively hostile to Pete Buttigieg.

I want to hear ‘Baylen Out Loud’ speak the truth about orange fecal matter & his grifting cronies. Reach the reality show TV audiences.

WTF happened to Gen X?

Trump signed an Executive Order last night eliminating the Presidio Trust, which helps fund The Presidio, a1,500-acre former military base in San Francisco that today includes hiking trails, museums, schools, campgrounds, restaurants, a golf course and a hotel.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that Nancy Pelosi played a central role in creating the Presidio Trust, and the park is in her district.

R573, he's trying to hurt blue states and blue cities

Another joint interview with Rump and Elmo. This time with hannity.

Something smells rotten in Denmark

Musk and his young incels have got your personal information. The tangerine menace will sell that data to domestic & foreign sources for mucho $$$$.

R298, I think they’re all compromised, while a few of the compromised are actively even more compromised because they stand to make a lot of money to support tyranny or just look the other way.

Miss Lindz’s budget resolution doesn’t please Trump.

rump is planning a takeover of the US Post Office. DeJoyless is retiring to pave the way. Rumor has it Satan wants to bring USPS into the Commerce Dept.

DeJoyless retiring it doesn't look good for mail service. Repukes have wanted to completely privatize it for a long while.

Gee, could voting by mail have anything to do with this?

r580, The USPS, the only business established in Trump's Original Constitution, has been a source of aggravation to the Plantation owners ever since the launch of FedEx, UPS and the rest as competitors.

Republicans have done everything to hobble the Post Office and instituted the totally paid for future unfunded liabilities.

This accounting doge, which mandates that the Post Office hires a person, it must have in reserved the total unfunded liability for that person IN THE BANK. What this means is that the USPS has a ginormous TRUST FUND that contains all this cash. Fuck the stamps, Trump/Musk want the HUGE, FILTHY, BAGS OF CASH just sitting there to be stolen.

Nobody said anything about Musk putting servers into the USPS. Why? Is it because Trump and DeJoy put them in, and it was a test for the FUCKING TREASURY DEPARTMENT? Trump cans instantly steal all the cash in the USPS Trust funds?

At the flick of a click, Trump will have all our money, resign, get a pardon from Vance and be rid of his Crimes Against America living in a Russian Palace.

Living in a Russian Palace with his TRILLIONS secreted into Arab bank accounts.

Trump is gonna fuck up the mail so bad

You think pootz will let him live and be a liability?

Ha! Fucker would be tossed out a window within 3 months.

Trump needs to go to Russia and bunk with Bashsr al-Assad.

I know I'm a war criminal and all, but doesn't that qualify as cruel and unusual, r585?

Check out David Rothkopf's substack....scary as shit...

Hakeem Jeffries is being roasted on Bluesky for being incompetent on a book tour. Or perhaps incompetent and on a book tour. I don't know. I prayed on it and selected Hakeem personally, so I don't think this behaviour is called for. When you see Hakeem, you're seeing me.
