Donald Trump announced plans to hold a press conference next week to present a “conclusive report” proving that the 2020 election in Georgia was rigged. This comes after Trump was recently indicted by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis for attempting to overturn the election results in Georgia. Trump claims the report will show election fraud and lead to “a complete exoneration” of all charges against him. However, critics argue it has been over two years since the election and Trump has not previously provided evidence of widespread fraud. The announcement also comes just hours after Trump lashed out at Willis for indicting him now rather than earlier. It remains to be seen whether Trump’s promised report will actually contain new evidence that could substantively challenge the prior investigations.
The beer hall putsch happened like 15 years before the Holocaust was well and truly underway. The show is just getting started.
Thankfully I don’t think the stupid windbag has another 15 years in him.
Thank God no. But what did he start? What little shitlers are going to spawn in his wake in the coming years? Desantis is a joke but he still has a large following. When will we get hit with the perfect Dump+Desantis combo?
I legitimately fear for the future, and not just for the American political landscape. It feels like the world is teetering on the edge of… something, and I don’t like it.
Well Desantis kind of blew his shot at the brass ring by biting the Mouse that feeds, but I get what you mean - there are certainly smarter people who are paying attention to the political zeitgeist who can ride that populism and know how to seize the levers of power with it. In particular I’m worried about a police force that leans rightwing and has been getting drip fed the runoff from the MIC for the last several decades.
This is me tinfoil hatting here, but I think part of the reason that the old guard republicans fall in line with the new alt-righters so easily is because they both know about all the shit that goes on behind closed doors and that if one sinks, they all go down. People easily forget that way back during the 2016 elections, Russia got into the RNC servers right alongside the DNC and while everyone was yelling about the DNC leaked files, suddenly lots of Republicans were loathe to talk about Donald’s blatant ties and they all got right behind him as the nominee. The eight Republican senators’ visit in 2018, on the 4th of July no less, to Kremlin officials to “foster relations with the Russian government” when the investigation into Russian interference was in full swing. The fact that alt-right Congressmen led a tour of government buildings days before Jan 6. And they all tried to downplay just how fucking close we came to a successful coup. Had Pence gotten in that car and left the building, I think the experiment would have been over, and the only reason he didn’t was probably because he thought he was going to get Epstein’d - I don’t care what he says about Trump now, they were chanting ‘Hang Mike Pence’ outside and he was shitting himself, and he knows how quickly they’ll eat their own. All the driver would have had to do would be to drive towards the crowd and unlock the doors. I don’t believe for a second he’s got America’s best interests at heart. But his fear nonetheless kept the transfer of power intact, even if now we can no longer count on it being peaceful.
