While President Joe Biden presides and former President Donald Trump has been shunted sideways to hold court at Mar-a-Lago, county officials are still awash in court proceedings stemming from Trump’s big election fraud lie.
They’re nuts. Whether due to ignorance, malevolence, illness, stupidity, or whatever. Effectively, they’re fucking nuts. And the news and information ecology in this country is toxic in so many ways and to such an extent that I don’t know how we get out of this mess. It’s truly disturbing.
ETA: And the widespread lack of critical media literacy and general critical thinking ability.
Don’t worry, Joe Manchin is going to end all of this nonsense soon by refusing to reform the filibuster and thereby allowing the GQP to realize their goal of forever rigging our elections processes to give themselves the permanent minority-rules white Christian hegemony they’ve always dreamed of. So stay patient, the euthanasia of democracy may be slow, but it IS inevitable.
This is what it looks like when a snake eats itself alive, or in this case, a country. Putin couldn’t be happier with how Trump and Republicans are torching our democratic process.
They have to cooperate with a DOJ IG investigation, which could lead to charges for others. They do 100 hours of community service. Probably a just result.
Quite so. I’m sure Dominion’s lawyers are paying very close attention to the Trumpists’ reference to “any public perception or concern regarding a vendor’s long-term viability, regardless of the cause or reason” as a reason to ditch Dominion. They could hardly have scripted better proof of their claims of harm to Dominion.
Exactly! This proves their case, it actually makes their case that they’ve been harmed by the lies told by the various individuals and entities they’re suing. These people’s collective stupidity is just stunning.
Agreed. However, the people most open to this nonsense, those who actually believe this, are mostly diehard GOP voters. They’re making their own voters distrust the system which ultimately hurts them far more than Democrats. In fact, I think the distrust they’re sowing is partly why they lost both GA Senate races. Again, these people are so damn stupid.
