The question is will Lindsey, and McCarthy find their gonads and be able to do so as well. twilson117 an hour ago And if the Nov elections go our way as it seems they’re trending, all of this extremism by Trump, MAGAs, and SCOTUS will fully backfire and hopefully result in Dems passing Roe, election reform and SCOTUS reform to set the country back on a democratic course and crush the MAGAfascist movement.

AdLib an hour ago TW – Agreed, it seems the only propaganda he could come up with, hoping the DoJ would keep with tradition and not reveal anything so his lies could stand. Massive backfire though on Trump. Now all of his coverup lies are exposed. Obstruction upon obstruction.

If the DOJ does not move on this particular brand of lawlessness (which makes Nixon look like a rank amateur) its integrity is torpedoed and the ship of state is likely to go down with them.

MurphTheSurf3 an hour ago Well, I have to say the elections are a bit tricky as voters seem to be finicky at times but I agree Republicans are on the wrong side of the abortion issue especially with all these draconian laws they’ve passed.

Not even Trump’s indictment will change it IMO, they’ll still rally to him out of fear of his base turning on them. But if there’s a Blue Wave this Nov, election laws then passed nationally to wipe out Repub corruption, the Repubs will lose election after election until they finally abandon this fascism.

The 1/6 committee has helped to prove Trump’s attempt to overthrow the 2020 election, this theft of secret info could rival that in terms of the damage this one man has done to the nation. You can’t throw your hands up after all of this and say, “Well, he was President. Whatcha gonna do?” Especially since Garland is well aware that Trump’s fascist movement is very active and just activated again to try and kill FBI agents in OH. And the magistrate and his family have been threatened, this fascist movement constantly using violence and the threat of it to terrorize the rest of the country must be broken. He knows that, he has to.

The woman who has taken over the WH Twitter account is a very clever tigress who handled the now famous State of NJ twitter account.

MurphTheSurf3 an hour ago TW – If it wasn’t for the growth of propaganda in social media and regular media, with all the awful things Repubs and Trump have done and said, this election should swing by double digits to Dems. But even with so much against the Dems, I am confident Dems will make it a big win this Nov and America just might have it’s democracy saved in the nick of time.

In another timeline, where Roe isn’t overthrown and 1/6 doesn’t happen, our democracy might have still been in a nosedive in 2023. Don’t want to get ahead of myself though, we still have a tough fight this Nov to make this come true. Ah…the thought of Manchin and Sinema being told to fuck off by the rest of Dems in Congress would also be satisfying.

Murph what is your assessment of her chances?? twilson117 an hour ago Murph – Yes, this is another smart move by the Biden aides, to turn him loose on the Repubs with the righteous anger the rest of the country feels after Roe, 1/6, etc. He went as far as to call MAGA semi-fascist…but there’s nothing semi about it. We need to see Biden as the fighter, very happy about this. And that NJ Twitter person for him is also just what we need. This is a war, time that Biden and Co. acted like it.

MurphTheSurf3 an hour ago TW – Indeed, Garland was reticent out of respect for precedent and institutions but Trump and MAGAs saw that as weakness so they’ve gone on criming. But I think Garland was holding back and finally reached the end of his rope, justice needed to be done and that’s the course we’re on. I can’t imagine in my wildest dreams that Garland comes back and says, “Nah, I’m not going to indict Trump, it wouldn’t be nice.”

And he could hold up an indictement from Georgia. “It sure won’t be boring to be Trump’s lawyer. At least until the trial’s over and you’re doing 5 to 7 in Leavenworth.”

Did you see that MAGA nut Blake Masters in AZ wipe his site of all his extremist anti-abortion vows then release a “reasonable restrictions” commercial?

I think the Kansas vote speaks more about what Nov will be than pollsters who are using the models from 2020 or 2016. They show generic Dems up 5 which is good and a constant increase but I think it will be a blue tsunami with all these rightfully pissed off women voting. Do you think there’s any chance Beto could win in TX with this behind him?

Right out of the Rove playbook, accuse your opponent of what you’re guilty of.
CL – Right, I don’t think Masters’ obvious con job will work at this late date. It’s almost oscenely funny, that ad he released on the day he wiped all the extremists anti-abortion crap from his website, accuses Mark Kelly of being an extremist about abortion! Right out of the Rove playbook, accuse your opponent of what you’re guilty of. AdLib 37 minutes ago TW – The SCOTUS rightwing lurch makes what is passed in legislation more solid than what comes via the courts. Pelosi already has passed a VERY strong bill that could pass a strong Dem senate. That would not perfectly prevent SCOTUS from overturning it, but it would challenge the Federalist determination to do away with Common Law. If they overturned legislation, they’d have NOTHING upon which to stand.

Then it is the law in all states and every election afterwards will be about allowing Repubs to strip that right away from half of America.
