It's all a game to them. It's sports. If you are anti team-Biden, then you must be team MAGA. There's only two teams.
The idea that politics involves real issues that affect real people or that people can have complex and nuanced views makes no sense to them. It's fandom. It's identity politics. It's college football. |

Lin Wood continues to swim in the deep end by going on a rant over weekend claiming the World Trade Center towers weren't hit by planes or anything. It was all CGI and "deep fakes".

I'm no legal scholar but if what I am seeing on Twitter is true Matt Gaetz is in a whole lot of trouble.

I haven't been following it. But at some point, Trump will decide that Gaetz is no longer worth the trouble and give the signal that he is no longer under Trump's protection. And then the GOP will turn on him and point out that they've always been against pedophilia and why is the Democrat media trying to tie Gaetz to the GOP and isn't it time to move on to more important things like the Mexican Caravan? It's gotta be, like, really close by now, right? |

I have said it before, and I will say it again. Until there is an actual indictment, it is all a bunch of smoke. That goes for Gaetz, Trump, Rudy and anyone else in that orbit. Plenty of time has passed and absolutely nothing has happened.

It seems like AT&T wanted a far-right network that they would have exclusivity over. Basically, a segment of the population would need AT&T to watch whatever fascist propaganda they wanted to.

I can't be the only one who's thinking "are we going to look back at some of these acts as things that saved the republic or are we going to look back at these as the obvious blueprint for what came next"

The latter. This almost feels like a test run with some of the dumbest human beings in existence attempting it. But now that there has been zero pushback, smarter people will take the cue and successfully accomplish it next time. You're already starting to see how it'll be done on the state level. Despite all the cheerleading, this country has never been a huge proponent of democracy and we're going to find out how deep the autocratic sympathies lie. |

I think it was Thomas Jefferson who said it best.... only if we can keep it.
I'm afraid that there's a group of people who will sacrifice the whole for their portion of the pie.

I agree with the 2nd point. That we're getting closer to trump and certain specific people being declared an enemy (which is sort of how they see themselves anyway) and removed from the discussion (which sort of reinforces the way they already see themselves), but when the alternative is that they gain control over all things for an indefinite period of time, with no care, nor concern for the rules that defined the nation, and the only thing that they want is the acquisition of power, then I think the argument has made itself. And I think we're not (we are really far off, it literally will take this group to foment an assassination to move the needle an inch) far off of where we should be considering such things.

I have yet to see any leaked information or even any informed speculation as to why they’re being so lenient on these terrorists. It seems to send a horrible message for national security purposes. It seems to encourage in the MAGA right. So it seems to be both politically stupid and bad for national security. I just don’t get it. |

I think they’re misguided hope is that with leniency they’ll see that the people they attacked forgive them so that they’ll come out the other side taking a more skeptical view of T and Q.
They won’t We’ll be here again and I’m afraid it’ll be with ushering in off an autocrat and a constitutional crisis Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I get your point. But one of the things that they didn't let Trump turn to shit with his reverse-Midas touch was the judicial appointments. The FedSoc people were in charge, and they told him who to nominate and convinced him it was his idea. |

This is incorrect. Trump judge nominee, 36, who has never tried a case, wins approval of Senate panel - Los Angeles Times https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...got-confirmed/ Attention Required! | Cloudflare You can find a lot more. FedSoc does not have much credibility. Eastman, who wrote up the coup documents and was behind the January 6th terrorist attack was a Chairman. Senators who are members voted against certifying the election for really no particular reason. Their VP spent the last decade raising money to create an oligarchy. They routinely and brazenly break the laws on tax-exempt status. It's just a partisan group that pretends to advocate for a certain judicial ideology (which changes when it hurts Republicans), but is instead an activist group that pushes for judges that will help their corporate donors. The fact they were supporting the nomination of 30-something old federal judges with no experience and rated unqualified by every legal group in existence shows exactly who they are.
