4. The NYTimes did a great job with putting together all the clips

And explaining how and where the crowd entered the building. It has over a million views on YT.

WE are on the eve of a right wing coup, enabled by the repug, aka fascist, judges and legislators. They failed on 1/6, but with support from 60% of repugs, and with the support of multiple state legislators, they have succeeded in creating the conditions so that Dems can never win again and they can take over everything, and will destroy the middle class/poor by eliminating Medicaid, ending Medicare by making it a block grant with providers able to balance bill you for any difference, and of course this will be greatly reduced year after year until it's absolutely worthless. Social Security will be gutted and birth control will be ended too. America is on the cusp of being killed on purpose right now.

edit - it's 60% not 30% approval from Rseditionist

6. I wish I could call your post hyperbolical...

but it's all laid out in front of us.

12. I too wish I was just imagining or hyperventilating about nothing.

I know I am by nature a worrier, but often am able to see things that some miss due to my close scrutiny of issues and deep reading from many sources. Sometimes, however, its a swing and a miss, like with Jeb Bush. I really thought he'd be much, much stronger and he totally flamed out to the right wing total fascist.

I was also quite shocked when SCOTUS upheld the law, gasp! I didn't get that they don't want the swift immediate change drumpf wanted for personal reasons. They want the change to fascism to be slower and think they will escape the blame or recognition that way. Roberts cares about his reputation, so won't let the bomb throwers destroy us fast. He seems to think 2024 is soon enough for the rw to steal the country.

7. Excellent journalism

This is an important document, for us and for history.
Thank you for posting it here.

10. Not getting as many recs and kicks as I hoped, but it's early, I guess...

pretty important stuff.

8. This can be traced directly back to the "Brooks Brothers Riot" in 2000

that successfully stopped the recount in Miami. The only differences are the numbers and the target, the players and their treason remains the same: to overthrow democracy in favor of dictatorship by the plutocracy.

That's why every violent numbskull in this crowd needs to face prison. It's why the rest need to pay legal costs and fines and serve long probations.

This can't go on. It has to stop.

9. Indeed! It is hardly new in American politics...

especially from the Repub party.

11. Reading some of the comments of the Trumpers

They are effing pathetic! And of course half of them are bringing up BLM/Antifa protests and how they "burned down cities".
