Atlanta-area prosecutors investigating efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia are in possession of text messages and emails directly connecting members of Donald Trump’s legal team to the early January 2021 voting system breach in Coffee County, sources tell CNN.

      What the FUCK?! I was alive when this happened, remembered all the recounts and buzz about how close it is, and this is still literally the first I’m hearing about it. I didn’t realize just how disconnected from politics my family and circle was. Now I understand the few grumbles I’d hear over the years about how it “should have been gore” I

        In the 2000 election in Duval County Florida they threw out over 22,000 votes from the 4 predominately black precincts that trend hard for Dems on the north sdie if Jacksonville. Out of 14 disctricts. A machine discarded these votes and the receipts for count machines were discarded similar to other counties that rushed to discard recorded evidence.

        The Secretary of State that ultimately certified the faked vote tallies was Katherine Harris, under the Governor, Jeb “Please clap” Bush, brother of Bush Jr. It was a full rat fuck scenario.

      How the fuck is it even possible for a political party to steal an election and we all just roll over and take it because the Supreme Court sided with them?

      I thought the system was ours to use as we please, not them.

        FWIW Bush Jr. was showered with abuse and had eggs thrown at him and he had to abandon the traditional walk to the Capitol at his inauguration, and he was deeply unpopular at the start of his term. Only 911 bailed him out.

          But it never should have even gotten that far. The people should have revolted and did the election over again.

            If there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that the revolution will not be televised, because it isn’t coming.

            Your best hope is to pray the aliens come and take us away from this place, leave the corpos, let them do with the Earth what they want.

            This is not a realistic thing to hope for.

              The revolution is whenever people quit doing whatever the tv tells them and start unionizing/growing their network of relations to demand change.

              I remember demanding revolution as a college kid on Reddit and getting torn out for it. It’s part of why I hate Reddit. And of course I was right, but they didn’t want to listen because they either secretly agreed with the authoritarianism or they only cared about being able to keep going to McDonald’s and 7-11.

              Our people have turned out to be so disgusting and disappointing. I honestly wonder if I shouldn’t expatriate.

                This world is lost, all that’s left is to hope for the next life to be more than a fantasy.

                Unfortunately I’ve heard it all before “The Right is just being given enough rope to hang themselves, these are the death cries of an old system” or “Eh, Donald Trump’s a joke, those really in command already have it set for Hillary” or “People will revolt this time for REALSIES! They’ve just gone too far THIS TIME!” or “We’ll find a way if it comes to that.”

                I pray for death, and for death to not be the end, the world is already lost.

        Think of it as one party with two major wings inside it.

        Neither wing will usually go too hard on the other side because they’re just there for show.

          Democrats, as a party, think that way. Republicans absolutely hate Democrats, though, and would light them all with gasoline if they could.

        As long as politicians appoint the judges they’ll be in their pocket to maintain their bright careers.

      I’m not a fan of either of those individuals. I know Stone has claimed to have played a part (he claims a lot of things and frankly I don’t trust a word that comes out of his mouth), but are you saying Trump was tied to the Brooks Brothers riot in 2000? That’s news to me, and I would be interested to read more about that if you could point me in the right direction.
