This month “results” from the sham AZ audit are set to be announced. There is an entire MAGA ecosystem prepping to boil over.

Meanwhile Mitch & McCarthy’s plan is the same as their disastrous actions before 1/6. Humor it & hope it goes away.

Your whole life, like a sandglass, will always be reversed and will ever run out again,—a long minute of time will elapse until all those conditions out of which you were evolved return in the wheel of the cosmic process. And then you will find every pain and every pleasure, every friend and every enemy, every hope and every error, every blade of grass and every ray of sunshine once more.

—Friedrich Nietzsche, “Notes on the Eternal Recurrence”

At some point during our schooling we were all met with a frustrated social studies teacher who was forced to fall back on the old saw about how those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it in order to implore a class of checked-out brats that the history lesson before them is not without value to their imagined future lives as architects/importer-exporters.

Generally this argument is employed to make the case for learning the lessons of the Holy Roman Empire, or Cromwell, or some other travail of a long-dead Caucasian. But today I am the annoying teacher, the Republican party and its enablers are the checked-out students, and the historic event that they need to learn from happened all of six months ago.

In the months between Trump’s electoral schlonging and the January insurrection, the GOP establishment participated in the coup two-step, during which they tried to ignore Trump’s antics when they weren’t actively enabling it by just asking questions. This strategy was a failure of historic proportions, resulting in the disruption of America’s practice of peaceful transfers of power, a violent siege of the Capitol, and the deaths of their own supporters, who had bought the lies they were fed.

1. Shitstorm is right. They're not going through all that and spending all that money...

for nothing. They'll find the trump won narrowly in critical areas. Then they'll export the methodology to other states where trump lost.

It's so obvious what they're going to do. But they have no choice as we outnumber them and they can't "win" without cheating.

2. The election will not be overturned . ..

if this is a gateway for Qanon to openly become more physically violent towards the USA and her people, I'm pretty sure the sane USA majority will be protected from any outbreak that may occur.

I don't know, but it seems like shithole's cult is itching for a violent confrontation.

3. Hopefully it continues to suppress their faith in the electoral process

Dems aren’t buying it and will not be deterred from voting..so have at it idiots

4. Kick for "electoral schlonging".

[Nevilledog]

6. Right?

[RegularJam]

10. I'm in on that.

5. I reckon it will be the same shitstorm already going on.

I am exposed to a lot of RW media, and this cake is already baked.

I doubt anyone will change their minds one way or another.

They'll find some pizza sauce on a mail-in ballot and decide Italy shipped in fake ballots. More of the same crap.

7. My thought

I truly hope no violence erupts from some absolute bullshit recount numbers. But....if they do decide to re-do Jan 6th. I know the passive law enforcement response absolutely won't happen this time. I sure hope they realize that.

11. If they make another coup attempt,

I don't think it will be smething like storming a building. If they really want to take over the country, they will plan something bigger, like multiple , strategic attacks on power grids or massive cyber attacks.

13. LMAO! That's funny stuff !!! nt

[wnylib]

15. Whatever

[Progressive Jones]

17. I was responding to a post that has since been removed. nt

14. Ahh, gee. You had a trolling admirer, wnylib.

Thought I could respond to the little critter before he went "poof!" But, alas.

[wnylib]

16. Not the first time. Probably not the last.

8. TheBulwark? Isn't that where Bill Kristol is these days?

9. Never trust a recount mandated by people who can't add or subtract.

Like your typical Trumpanzee. I'd sooner lend credence to one of North Korea's sham elections showing "Great Leader" netting 99.9% of the vote than a recount endorsed by any republiCON.
