Conservative ignorance is the #1 national security threat.

Their denial of all science.

Evolution, choice, Covid, global-warming, environmental destruction, pollution, man-made cancers(see the former)

It's time to indict and prosecute the purveyors of this filth. The reich-wing You-tube channels that barf out lies against science, the Twitter accounts etc.

They're not exercising free-speech, there propagating lies.

People die because of said lies.

It's as simple as that.

Army basic training taught us that the U.S. is almost un-attackable.

(trust me, there's a valuable lesson to be learned here vs our blank-check MIC spending)

One of the most valuable lessons I've ever learned in life is that our country, due to its geographic isolation, is nearly impossible to attack on a full scale invasion.

Our east and west borders are protected by thousands of miles of unforgiving oceans. It would be almost impossible to "sail" a navy across either ocean to attack, defeat, and capture the U.S.

To land an army, to capture our seas and seaports, to invade and conquer the US into submission and surrender would require a world-wide effort vs the U.S.

In other words, good luck with that.

There are 3 basic options to attack the U.S.

Staging an army in Mexico or Canada, in which we could simply bomb staging points to smithereens...

Missiles.. Guess what, we have missiles too. The threat of mutual destruction means only an imbecile would shoot a missile at the U.S.

Cyber warfare.. again, we have hackers too.

Since 1980 and Ray-gun, we have been lied to on a criminal level. We've been force-fed the same old bullshit that we need to spend our nation's treasure into bankrupting levels to fund our national "defense".

9/11 happened because Bush let it happen. We could've stopped that attack before it happened but Bush needed his war to prop up his failing presidency.

Show me a military worthy of attacking the U.S. and defeating us on our own soil and I'll laugh in anyone's face.

This lesson, taught to me by my beloved drill sergeants in basic training still resonates today, perhaps louder than ever.

It's beyond time to expose the profit-driven lies barfed out by the MIC, Raytheon, Northrup-Grumman etc.

All we need is..
a downsized, high-tech military, WITHIN OUR OWN BORDERS that monitors our 4 borders. We don't need a military spread across the globe that can conquer the planet 10 times over while also bankrupting our nation and lining the pockets of MIC vultures.

The MIC is criminal political corruption defined.

NEVER let anyone tell you that we need to spend ourselves into bankruptcy to fund a world-dominating military force that has proven unsustainable.

Nature has provided our continent with more defense measures that any military weapon ever could. Isolation.

Im thankful for my fireball whiskey today..

I don't drink much. I'm a lightweight. I need days or sometimes weeks between drinks before my 49 year old self can fully recuperate. Politics likely pushes me to imbibe more than any other force on Earth, our only home.

Today,
When I read that John Bolton is calling on GOP leadership to explain to Trump MAGA supporters that Trump lost and Biden won, I was struck(with joy, of course).

The sky is falling around Trump. His bloated ego is crashing down around him. Bolton was a Trump ally. He was a Trump foreign policy and national security advisor.

Love or hate Bolton, but he gave a gut-punch to the GOP's disrespect to the newly elected Prez-elect, our beloved Joe.

Bolton gave a middle-finger to Trump as well.

And that's why I had two shots of fireball whiskey today.

It's becoming clear as to why the orange felon won't leave office.

Deep down, he fears prosecution even if he won't admit it.

He knows what lies ahead if he is forced out of office.

Prosecute the snake.

If we as citizens care anything about rule of law.

LOCK HIM UP.

Hillary for AG? Anyone? Anyone?

I would love to watch Hillary prosecute the orange swinesoul felon.

Perhaps there may be better choices but man, poetic justice.

Side note..
Before Joe picked Kamala for VP, she would've been my personal first choice for AG, but I'm super-excited that Kamala is instead our VP err VIP.

How Biden can force dRumpf's hand in regards to him leaving office.

Assuming Joe wins which of course would make the orange felon a lame-duck President.

It's simple..

To the orange felon..
How you act in the lame-duck era of your illegitimate presidency will determine whether you will be prosecuted or to what extent.

Provide a peaceful and smooth transition or you will be prosecuted.


on edit
(and no, I'm not suggesting deal-making for prosecuting the multitudes of Trump crimes)

George W. Bush-Era Attorney General Says Trump Lawyers Should Consider Backing Fraud Claims with Proof.

Former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who served during the George W. Bush presidency, said Friday on SiriusXM’s The Dan Abrams Show that the Trump campaign and the president should consider backing up election fraud claims with proof.

Law&Crime founder and ABC News Chief Legal Analyst Dan Abrams, who has been vocal about the need for actual evidence, asked Gonzales for his thoughts. Gonzales said that, although he hasn’t read all of the Trump campaign filings, allegations of this magnitude ought to be backed up by proof.

Even Rethugs are turning against dRumpf, the orange-felon, regarding his lies about voter fraud.

Trump is blatantly questioning the legitimacy of Democracy. Even his own party is calling him out on his anti-democracy bullshit.

In droves, even repubs are turning against Turmp's claims of voter fraud.

Perhaps, some of these people can be redeemed.

Doubling down on my assanine-10-11 (borrowing from Stephen A Smith)...

I got grilled like a cheap round steak in my last thread about Joe being our President-elect.

Others had also written threads about Joe winning this thing.

We all got lambasted for our early predictions.

My thread may have deserved its roasting by fellow DUers but also had its share of supporters. DUers are beyond excited to see Joe win. There is a genuine feeling of how we need a Biden victory to restore our democracy, while also a boat-load of political experience from fellow DUers who have watched politics closely for their lifetimes.

I blame it on my mother, and also thank her. I was born in 1970. At the ripe old age of 9, she made me go trick-or-treating with her while she was dressed up as Jimmy Carter, complete with a Ronald Who? sign hanging from her back. Full suit etc with a rubber Carter mask.

I had no interest in politics at age 9. But something about that evening changed me, forever.

The weird responses that Mom and I endured that evening opened my eyes. I became a political nerd. At age 9.

Because of that evening, I became a political nerd. I became a political-poll watcher. I became an election night trend watcher. I soon learned that Dem-leaning, high-populace precincts are typically the slowest to issue their final tallies.

Everything about this election is trending towards a Biden victory.

That's why myself and many others made premature calls for Biden's victory.

I'm doubling down. Biden is our President-elect.

But also, let's count every ballot. Then we can truly honor Joe for being #46.

Be happy. Please understand, I'm trying to cheer up DU from the shit-show that this election cycle has become.

Joe and all of us will prevail!

Joe Biden is our President-elect.

Regarding dRumpf..

The orange-felon has no path to victory.

Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up!

In a padded holding cell.

To Joe, thank you for your grace throughout this shit-show.
