Lil Mike needs some knee pads and jaw ointment for the work he’s doing.

    You are so 100% correct. They have never been this close to total power, and they know that not only will they not come back from another failure, the consequences are likely to be EXTREMELY bad. The American people will not accept anything less than serious punishment for MAGAs CRIMES.

    So like you said, they are literally fighting for their lives. I’ll add to that, that they are socio/psychopaths with all manner of extreme mental presentations, and are capable of going beyond anything in our worst imaginations. They not only will employ serious violence, they WANT to.

    This next election will tell the tale. I find it impossible to believe that there is any chance that they will allow this election to proceed unmolested, and if the majority of either chambers flips, they will contest it with all sorts of simultaneous strategies that they are already discussing.

    MAGA currently only has a one vote lead in the House. If a couple more quit immediately, which might be possible if they keep committing heinous atrocities, the House may flip BEFORE the election.

    Dems should be using whatever influence they have with corporate America to hire some suffering Congressional Republican who hates what’s happening. I’ll bet there’s a bunch. Woo a few away with good salaries and benefits, and MAGAs election fraud will be for naught.

      As a non-American, I hope you’re right, but fear you’re not.

        last time we had presidential corruption, it was pardoned “to help the country heal”.

        Which was utter bullshit and Ford should have been impeached and put on trial for doing it… but America does not have a good history of holding presidential malfeasance particularly accountable.

          When we emerge from this, it will be absolutely that we not continue “business as usual.” MAGA wanted change this nation, and we should oblige them, and totally reconfigure it so it serves the people, regulates the wealthy and corporations, and has an election system that filters out the corrupt, and filters in the intelligent.

          We are in unprecedented territory, and it will require unprecedented solutions. Constantly saying that we’ve never done that before is not helpful, and only sends the message that we would accept the same old easy non-solutions that brought us here.

          MAGA is expecting to get spanked real hard, because that’s what they would do. Let’s not disappoint them.

            I agree with you, but you won’t get this from voting Democrat, I can guarantee it. If we want this, we, the working class, need to find a way to make it a reality, because the democrats are 100% co-opted and infiltrated.

      They’re already talking about stationing their gestapo ICE Gestapo at voting locations across the country, They are actively, and openly, discussing their plans to openly interfere in the election. The only question is if its gonna be via violence and disappearance before people can get in the door to vote, or if its gonna be absconding with the ballots after voting, but before counting.

        That’s what the 2nd Amendment is for: people will need to form militias in their communities to protect voters from interference by ICE.

          “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”

          What does that mean exactly? It sounds like as much right as we have to bear arms, we also have been given the right to form our own organized, “well-regulated” militias, and in fact, the Founding Fathers called it “necessary to the security of a free state.”

          Sounds like we should be putting together our own armed groups to defend the security of our free state. I’m sure MAGA would consider them terror cells.
