Why isn't this MF #DonTheCon in prison for treason RIGHT NOW!? The utter impotence of our government is very disturbing. We can't allow MAGAT Mike to sabotage our decades long foreign policy. I'm absolutely stunned. He is a nobody. Just some crazy "Christian" loon that the billionaires installed.

It's more than a mess. They are literally getting our allies murdered. I don't know what game they are playing, but it is treasonous. #DonTheCon is a civilian under federal criminal indictment and that is their puppet master? I would think that would be a yet another criminal offense. DOJ?

This is why AIPAC is so dangerous. AIPAC were the ones that took the teeth out of the Foreign Agents Registration Act by an extensive bribery campaign. Now, R-Mike Johnson, 3rd in line to control the United States (after the President and VP, he's next in the line of succession), is allowed to keep his office, even though it was bought and paid for with the money of a foreign enemy that we're at war with.

He can be fired from his cushy position and he should be IMO. Once I found out he was the one who made sure Andy McCabe was fired and didn't get his pension, my ire was off the charts. He doesn't deserve any position at DOJ because of his rank partisanship. What a sick prick. I believe Biden can remove him as #DonTheCon did for other US attorneys. Don't worry about appearances. That is irrelevant at this point.

The NY Times catches up with Trump encouraging Russian aggression against NATO, and look how they minimize the story:

  1. It’s old news. “… repeating a claim he has made previously …”
  2. It’s just braggadocio. “… to highlight his negotiating skills …”
  3. The first reaction quoted is not from the White House (¶6) but from Putin (¶4)—who promises never to invade anyone.
  4. Trump says he caused “hundreds of billions” to be paid in. NYT doesn’t mention that this is a lie.

Does anyone actually believe that Judge Cannon Fodder is not in touch with and strategizing with members of the #DonTheCon team? This ruling is very strange and I hope she is put under investigation. Although now the DOJ seems very sketchy. I can't believe this level of fuckery is going on in plain sight. This Xhitter post seems plausible to me. These MAGAts will do anything, even judges.

The big story should be that a Republican prosecutor didn’t find grounds to charge Biden and inserted gratuitous commentary that aligns with GOP talking-points during an election year in an attempt to influence the outcome. That should really be a huge scandal. #Election2024 #biden #trump

@JoshuaHolland He must be fired from his position. #DonTheCon removed lots of US Attorneys. This is unacceptable for Biden’s own DOJ to be weaponized against him. No one would say that it hasn’t been.

Now that I find this out, I believe that Merrick Garland must be replaced soon. He appointed the prick who got Andy McCabe fired from the FBI right before his retirement for investigating the Traitor #DonTheCon's ties to Russia. This is who Garland appoints as Special Counsel for the Biden Case? This appears to be a blatant act of sabotage and malice seems clear. He is dangerous as AG in this critical year and is working against Biden.

@lin11c@toad.social avatar

We should make it our mission to remove every stinking corrupt MAGAt lawyer and judge. Cannon Fodder is #1. Hur is #2. #DonTheCon fired many US Attorneys.

"On March 10, 2017, Jeff Sessions, who was appointed United States attorney general by President Donald Trump, requested the resignations of 46 United States attorneys. Some resignations were declined by Sessions or Trump. Media outlets described Sessions' move as abrupt and unexpected but not unprecedented."

The fuckery tonight is off the charts. I hope Joe Biden now knows that Merrick Garland is an enemy to his reelection. There is no way that this vile and pathetic smear campaign that he approved is anything but. I hope Biden fires him. We would support him. Get Sally Yates or Leticia James and put them in as acting DA. The Pig #DonTheCon did it so MAGATs should have no problem with it.

Fun fact apropos of nothing: when Hitler came into power democratically it took him like 3 months to dismantle democracy completely and there were no new elections for 17 years.

He came into power after earlier starting an insurrection. State institutions and government failed to ban him from future elections.

lin11c,

Our situation is pretty much a carbon copy of that. Perfect example since #DonTheCon thinks he is Hitler and had a copy of Mein Kampf by his bed although he can't read.

Is the Supreme Court going to greenlight Biden's ability to refuse a transition of power in 2024? That's what it's sounding like from the corrupt billionaire owed SC windbag's clips I'm hearing. They seem to be agreeing that #DonTheCon did not commit an insurrection and it was perfectly legal what he did. Also, a bunch of lawyers and congresspeople conspiring for months to stop certification sounds pretty "organized" to me.

I’ve seen enough. SCOTUS can bite me.

Meanwhile, via Emptywheel:

So here's where we're at:

  1. Trump impeached for insurrection
  2. Senate acquitted bc he was post-Presidency
  3. SCOTUS is ignoring that to say he can stand for election
  4. Immunity?

@lin11c@toad.social avatar

@GottaLaff
I have one question. Can this 14AS3 question be revisited if #DonTheCon is convicted of insurrection before the election? If he wins, isn't he unable to actually serve? That question seems much clearer in the language. This case is only about him being on the ballot, correct?

“Disenfranchisement and Chaos”: The #SupremeCourt Hears Pivotal Case on Whether #Trump Is Eligible to Run for President

On Thursday, #SCOTUS will hear arguments in a case that could swing a presidential #election in a way not seen since Bush v. Gore.

Scholars say the case could have far-reaching consequences, even if Trump is not thrown off the ballot.

Biden wants a deal, which ensures aid to both Israel and Ukraine, because Ukraine is fighting Russia — the 2nd largest army in the world, with 3,570,000 military personnel, an air force, a navy, nuclear weapons, and more.

But republican Speaker Mike Johnson wants a deal, where Ukraine gets $0, while Israel gets $17.6 billion, because Israel has been attacked by 3,000 fighters with pickup trucks, small arms, and home made missiles.

Johnson must have lost his marbles. 🤦🏻‍♂️
