The problem is the Minority and Majority Whips can just construct a mini feudal state by basically withholding money (or giving it to a competitors) for re-election campaigns.

The Corrupt politicians wont want to give up their cushy job, the "good ones" can be motivated in line by saying "would you prefer its you, or someone else?" holding on to the hope they can do some good, and only the handful of politicians that actually got in on merit are left to challenge the status quo.

We need term limits on Congress, the one flaw the founders had was that they couldn't fathom lawyering becoming a dishonorable man's game.

When Trump retains office a huge number of officials will likely resign and move to new Zealand.

I'm convinced that muh "super scary hospitalization rates" justifying lockdowns are from panicked people who don't really need to go, but have been convinced COVID makes you infertile or some shit because one doctor said it was possible at some point.

Seriously, he should actually ask that fucking question. I would PAY to see a massive mob of liberals demanding Pelosi get off her ass and prove the fraud claims are false. Watching her reaction would be fucking gold.

That's what pisses me off about these types of people, they don't want truth, they want belief.

Maybe - I'm pretty quick with political speculation but this entire situation has me at a loss. This is one of the most active, dangerous, and rollercoaster US politics has been probably in my lifetime.

We are certainly watching a game of chess being played, with offensives defenses, and counters and feints. The problem is I cant tell what is what. Nothing adds up in the grand scheme. There are four pieces that indicate to me Trump has a ace in the hole no one knows about.

1. He reorganized the DOD and pardoned Flynn
2. Biden was blocked from intelligence briefings 3.Trump is still confidant. 4.I'm convinced Trump is a genuine patriot

Trump loses plenty, but he does so quietly. He's a master at choosing his battles. He has never haplessly stalled in a hopeless fight. He's the king of getting out when he knows he's lost, his business record is proof of that.

The best I can tell Trump is hoping beyond all hope that people play fair and step up (hence the twitter call outs). Failing that he hopes the courts can settle this legally <- you are here. If the courts are totally pozzed, I think he has a nuclear option so shattering in its implications that it would not only guarantee him re-election, but damage America in some way.

I think Trump wants to win the hard way, because he doesn't want to reveal whatever he has to reveal.

Dems have no real empathy, just "empathy" masquerading as self-righteous injustice. Its not about the cause, its about feeling superior. Hence the widespread support of anything authoritarian. They love all authority while simultaneously jacking off when there's any chance to brow beat people/organizations with impunity.

Ergo, "fuck the police when they stop me from doing what I want" while also "we need more authoritarian control to stop people who I don't like from doing what they want." Its why they are called "useful idiots" because they will sign over their human rights and freedoms as long as the contract holder keeps glad-handing their ego till all their "enemies" are suppressed. Then the contract holder starts killing them until enough of them are dead that the rest give up whatever causes they originally gave a shit about and fall in line out of fear.

I can easily identify out of the insane leftists I know which ones would suddenly become huge fans of slavery, racism, and police brutality under even just a little duress and which ones would be immediately thrown into the gulag while the rest cheered. Like if it was decided by democrats that being queer was bad (since it lowers working population), I know at least five people who would "suddenly realize" they were just going through a phase and start "politely" encouraging others into gay conversion therapy. These people are genuinely sick.

I think there are some people who deep down are just so fearful of life that they will do anything - anything - to feel in control.

We have failed multiple generations in teaching self independence, and this is the result. A group who actively thirsts to put a portrait of immortal comrade leader “X” on tbe wall, because they prefer lies to the truth.

they boosted the crazy conch progressive stack people hard too. Remember a Colbert segment on it.

Ironic the crazies they were mocking became the main act. It’s way to effective at brainwashing. Genius really, make people “proper” racists, take advantage of their flawed prone to racial division psyches. Cover it with just enough veneer that it seems trendy and cool, and just like that we are a stones throw from active government segregation.

I never understood how Nazis and KKK members could exist - It turns out they never went away - it just seems that there’s a Segment of society that is always chomping at the bit secretly to be Supremely racist as long as society allows it.

This is pure unbridled "kid with a gun" territory. These people have gotten a taste of absolute power and now they can't help but shove it into people's faces over and over again.

FUCK YES.

FIGHT PEDES.

WE SHALL FIGHT ON THE BEACHES, WE SHALL FIGHT ON THE LANDING GROUNDS, WE SHALL FIGHT IN THE FIELDS AND IN THE STREETS, WE SHALL FIGHT IN THE HILLS; WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER, AND EVEN IF, WHICH I DO NOT FOR A MOMENT BELIEVE, THIS NATION OR A LARGE PART OF IT WERE SUBJUGATED AND STARVING, THEN OUR SILENT MAJORITY BEYOND THE VIEW, ARMED AND GUARDED BY THE 2ND, WOULD CARRY ON THE STRUGGLE, UNTIL, IN GOD’S GOOD TIME, THE NEW WORLD,

This is fucking unreal - its literally not certified yet. In multiple states.

This is straight up fascist style propaganda.

I can tell that my lib coworkers know this - one of then still checks the electoral college vote count daily. Whats scary is they want to believe in a prefered reality, rather than face the one they are in.

I finally understand how the nazis took ultimate power - its people buying into a lie to the point they will do anything to sustain it. Anything to avoid the truth that their worldview is flawed. What cowards.

This "little corner of the internet" is in the top 300 websites visited in the world.

All that posturing isn't doing much to hide the piss stain in your pants over Trump not losing yet

With the rote impracticality of pronoun editing this is what I’ve adopted at my work place. I ask name, and what people prefer to be called. I avoid any pronouns as often as possible.

I love the irony actually. Obsessing about pronouns has made it almost entirely irrelevant.

I live in a liberal bastion city and can vouch. If i ask a co-worker why they think Trump is the devil they will in this order: 1-stare at you like your nuts 2-Say “racist homophobe asshole” FIRST 3-Then, /only/ if you question them further, they will spit some easily debunked talking point.

Debunk the talking point, and you are immediately labeled a Trump supporter or blissfully misinformed and they start to awkwardly change the topic of conversation. Where two seconds prior they were hyped to rant.

These people have turned trump into a hate totem. I think half of them wank themselves to Trump alone at night.

Holy fuck - “they aren't accepting the results of the election” - BITCH THE FUCKING RESULTS AREN'T CERTIFIED.

I agree that Barr is a fat sack of crap low energy grandpa who seems to have given up giving a shit, but this is goos because it “legitimizes” the fraud.

Lefties tend to trust all government (thats why the blamed comey for hillary losing, despite his clearly crooked bias). So its easy to say “trump and loyal repub X are lying and trying to steal”. they cant say “the entire gov is rigged” because it admits to everything we pedes complain about.

Lefties lost their shit when Barr said this. It made fraud “real” by their standards.

This “fact” is absolutely the deep state openly gloating.

Hes a fucking insane power mad lunatic. Hes been kneecapping NYC’s economy during covid to specifically virtue signal what a pandemic hero he is. He doesn't have to give a shit about the 50 billion state debt, hell he running for president in four years.

This reeks - straight up V for Vendetta shit. Somone needs to look into pfizer immediately

I honestly believe they don't realize it's a crime.

These are child-adults, where resources are created without effort, and the only reason they don't have more toys is because rich people are meanies.

Wow - if this happens some mo-fos gonna get straight-up shot full of holes. I worked census in the south ten years ago. I had to approach some homes like I was a submissive ape with my stomach out just to get people to talk to me.

Some dumbass antifa thug shouting shit and banging on a door will get answered by a belly full of lead without question.

I think at her core, shes a based politician - shes the one who completely wrecked cum-malla Harris after all.

I think once she did that though, someone got to her - threatened her kids or something. Not only did the establishment start smearing her and reducing her reach Bernie-style, she also backed off on most of her principles.

A ton of charging plants for electric cars have on-site diesel generators lol.

Electricity has to come from somewhere. Electric cars don't mean shit when the power grid still gets most of its juice from coal, oil, and natural gas.

Renewable energy hype is not scientific - it's activist in nature.

Its mind boggling how much they hate trump - they cant even explain why!

Really don't want to be a downer here but Contesting Penn wont be enough right? The play was inflating the ballot counts - if the ballots are “real” all we can do is strike any deceased voters off the registries, anything else would be almost impossible to prove.

basically because there’s no voter ID a single crazy fucking liberal could’ve requested multiple ballots and sent in anywhere from 10 to 100 with no way to track it with varying names correct?

it seems like it would be impractical to check that much information - even if you could start a brute force investigation they would never be enough time before the Supreme Court had to choose an elector, which point the narrative wins out.

What am I missing?
