You can divide people who took Donald Trump’s claims that he actually won the 2020 election into roughly two camps: those who were in the know, and the true believers. If less charitably inclined, you might call this a divide between the con artists and those who they duped. On one side are politicians, conservative…
Where Things Stand: A Key Jan. 6 Figure Pleads Guilty, Saying She Urged Oath Keepers To Delete Texts
The office said the case was referred by state District Attorney Audrey Louis, a conservative Republican whose district abuts Bexar.
How in hell does this MAGA lawyer know there’s election fraud in the next county? Something smells really bad here.

If you wanted to be honest and with no charity, you would call it the divide between “the dumb and the evil”. But even that is letting “the dumb” off the hook for being evil.
That is many of “the dumb” believed Trump won not because he got more votes but because he got more White or “real American” votes. Many of “the dumb” also thought that by being assholes they were able to steal the 2000 election so being assholes should work in 2020.
That is in my view there really is no distinction between those who tried to overthrow the Government in 2020 to keep Trump in power after losing the election. Anyone who supported the BIG LIE is by definition a BIG LIAR which by definition makes them all evil.
The only real differences within the group of BIG LIARS is not how evil are they but how stupid are they. .

Cult member to the end.
What were Quisling’s last words?
A doctor pinned a white target over Quisling’s heart. He was blindfolded and bound to a temporary wooden wall. ``I have been judged unfairly. I die innocent,‘’ Juell recalled Quisling’s last words.
Sounds like every MAGA jailed for their role in J6.
ETA, Except they were allowed to live. Maybe not the next time, traitors.

It’s hard to think of a more Nordic place than Norway, ethnic-wise. And it really pissed the Nazis off when so many of the Norwegians didn’t sufficiently appreciate being occupied by their Aryan brethren.
Or, for that matter, the Danes, who helped so many of their Jewish neighbors to escape.

Unfortunately, “traitor” only seems to apply when we’re at war (which we are, but internally). But scare the pants off of them anyway. It wouldn’t take much.
Anybody can report a crime. They can also be charged with a crime for falsely reporting a crime.

Paxton was at the forefront of GOP efforts to overturn Biden’s victory and has spent years promoting false claims that the president stole the election. In December 2020, he sued four battleground states that Biden had won, saying at the time that their “failure to abide by the rule of law casts a dark shadow of doubt over the outcome of the entire election.”
The conservative-majority Supreme Court threw that suit out three days after Paxton filed it, and the Texas State Bar has sought to discipline the attorney general for what a Bar disciplinary community called a “dishonest” suit.
Over Paxton’s protests, a state appellate court found in April that the Bar could discipline him for the suit — leading Paxton to appeal in June to the state Supreme Court to investigate the appellate court for its “politically motivated lawfare” against him for the finding.
In that filing, Paxton asked the state’s high court “to intervene to prevent the State Bar’s continued abuse of the legal system.”‘’
Sounds like Paxton is cruising for a brusing. We can only hope.

Here’s another reason why Vice President Harris MUST win – if the sick fuck gets back into office, all of those pathetic losers will get pardons and their records expunged. Even those who pled guilty. I have ZERO sympathy for any of them

They won’t get that. President don’t have that power; and expunction is available only in very specific, limited circumstances.

SCOTX is very bad and will very likely let Paxton off the hook.
