Michael Gableman, the former Wisconsin state Supreme Court justice leading the Wisconsin legislature’s Trumpified investigation into the 2020 election, is calling on the lone elected Republican who criticized him to resign.
I am so tired of these old white, bulb-headed, pudgy, moronic fascists. When will these fuckers just die off?
Republicans need to clamp on those that are claiming that there was no organized election fraud. Next they will saying that there is no god.
The whole of the WI GQP should resign. None of them have earned the privilege of serving in office. They think they deserve it and want to run things as a fiefdom to the exclusion of everyone else.
How can we go about with a recall against an entire State party representation? I think that would be money well spent…
Nobody told me that there would be criticism. How am I supposed to rat-fvck the people of Wisconsin, unnoticed, if people keep pointing at me, a former state supreme court justice, and shouting “What a partisan rat-fvcker!” /s
There is chanting in WI: “Go COVID. Go.”
“If you’re an elected official and you’re so afraid of your constituents that you think you have to bring a firearm to see them, you should take a long hard look at what you’ve been doing,”
Being so afraid that you need to carry a gun is their whole 2nd Amendment schtick FFS!
Those perpetrators of the Big Lie are dishonest traitors or so demented they shouldn’t be permitted to operate heavy machinery. Gableman needs to be disbarred for violating his oath to faithfully act consistently with the Constitution and the law.
At first glance , I saw GOP insurrection investigator.
Then I got better…
It’s frightening to think that this fascist used to sit on the Wisconsin state Supreme Court!
Their aim is Power. For its own sake as well as power’s edge in maintaining itself. They are charting much more than the current political climate…
“My advice would be to have Mr. Gableman wrap up sooner rather than later, because the longer we keep this up, the more harm we’re going to do for Republicans,” she said.
So even the lone Republican in Wisconsin willing to speak out against overthrowing democracy…
…is motivated by the concern it might hurt the GOP.
Thanks for sorting that out.
Bernier also described “this constant drumbeat of all the ‘massive voter fraud’” as “a charade.”
The charade has a purpose. The GQP needs to establish the need for an independent evaluation of the last election with access to procedures and otherwise private voter data. The nominally independent transparent evaluation will, in fact, be performed opaquely by hand-picked Republican operatives. Their data mining will supply GOP leaders with precise ways to fine-tune Gerrymandering and other ways to effectively keep a permanent Republican majority in the state legislature.
“Bulb-headed”. I like it.
You just generate recall elections (these are by petition in WI) for every Republican legislator and elected local official. With a large number of these in one day, it’s easy to turn it into a statewide issue. Don’t announce it, just circulate the petitions (this way they can’t respond against Democrats) and hit them by surprise. And win a large number of the races, as the national publicity will be priceless.
Gableman is an embarrassment to the GOP. If you going to pull off the transition to Fascism, you need to do it professionally. Gableman’s biggest sin is that he LOOKS like an amateur. I f he were a bit more subtle, his stature as a WI Supreme Court judge could have held enough gravitas to cause problems for Election administrators, but the GOP can’t do subtle and Gableman’s threats to throw the Milwaukee and Green Bay Mayors in jail for not cooperating has made him look like what he really is - a GOP hack and an idiot to boot. It is what it is.
The couple of times a recall was attempted in the State, the concept was rejected by the voters. This was last done with Scotty, initiated, I believe, by the State workers’ union:
Scott Walker recall, Wisconsin (2011-2012) - Ballotpedia
It was a disaster, both for the State and for recall elections as a whole. Failed miserably and turned a lot of folks off to the Dems for a good, long while.
That’s because he IS an amateur. Also an idiot, which doesn’t help his case any…
I fail to see how this could possibly be true. The records of who voted, when they voted, and what method they used to cast their vote are already public. The records of how many votes each candidate received in each precinct are already public. There is no information on ballots that can be used to track any particular vote to any particular voter. What additional information can the dumb “audits” obtain that would possibly be used for gerrymandering purposes?
