rules and norms like republicans have done and start go after the 1/6 actors and accomplices and drag them out of their holes and put them in jail. Get a friendly judge to jack up or deny bail. F the rules. Arrest Trump tomorrow on the Stormy Daniels illegal payoff. Would republicans have arrested Biden or Obama if they were in in indicted co-conspirators? Go after Fox, The Federalist Society, Chamber of Congress, The NRA, the Proud Boys and charge them under RICO. Bend or break the rules if they must because if we don’t start using our power while we have to put the fear of God in these cowards we will lose our democracy. Look at the way the wealthy Republican donor Ken Lonngome (sp?) hired a private detective to follow former Gov. Spitzer and brought him down. Because if we know anything it’s that good guys finish last. Just look at SCOTUS. Let’s organize huge protests outside of Fox News and their hosts home. I will protest. Screw the rules just do something. Arrest people. Execute executive orders fining Fox and Newsmax for lying, who cares if it’s legal or constitutional just do something. Load up the Build Back Better bills with huge pork for WV and Az and announce it and take it to the people of those states to put pressure on Manchin and Sinema. Or close federal facilities and stop federal projects in those states. Delay paying federal benefits to WV and Az who cares if it is legal. Biden instructs the treasury secretary to stop social security payments to people of those states. Republicans would do this and way more. Hold up federal contracts and payments to corporation who contribute to republicans. Let them go to court and then appeal when we lose. We need to start using Republican tactics to save our democracy. I’m so tired of getting walked all over by republicans. Make Kentucky citizens feel the pain of McConnell’s actions. Starve them out. Lay siege to these backward states. Dems will never win them. Be the blood sucking pagans that they accuse us of being. Like Russia did when they retreated when the Germans attacked in WWII burn it all down while they retreat it’s time to start burning down and refusing aid to obstructionist deep red states. Let’s see how long it will take for the republicans in those states to move against leaders like McConnell. If it’s a death cult they want then let’s help give them what they want. Isolate and deprive these states of everything federal and let them take it to court where we can obstruct just like they do. They want chaos let’s give it to them. Let them know that there is a price to pay for following stupid people with stupid ideas. If they go low we go lower and suck them under. Quarantine Covid states and shut down the airports and interstate travel into and out of those states.
