I propose each state has its own standing army so the elector counts governors can duke it out to solve their issues.

This would be a more American way of doing it - 50 different ways to do everything is the only way to combat government overreach.

I want to see Trump have a meltdown over the betrayal of the people he put on the bench.

Please let it happen, and please let it convince Republicans that they don’t  have to kow-tow to this buffoon anymore.

He was plenty unhinged when he was sick with Covid and going on stage full of experimental treatments and uppers to reassure people how Coronavirus doesn't matter.  He's just moved the bar so far that I'm not sure what a Trump meltdown would look like...  there are countless examples of him going "mask off" and then laughing it away later.

At this point he'd have to collapse or something, and even then.  These people don't believe in Trump, they believe in a fantasy of Trump.  The Q stuff is just a progression.  Whereas I think most Republicans (including very many voters) KNOW he's a dipshit, and don't care because they voted strategically.

It is the hallmark of a fanatic that anything that goes against their expectations of god is a test of faith, including god himself.

This seems pretty mainstream.

Which kinda just makes it worse.

Note that it was 7-2, but in a "7 said the plantiffs should fuck off immediately, while the 2 said we should let the plantiffs have their say before telling them to fuck off". The two-justice dissent all-but-clearly states (by so pointedly not stating) that the plaintiffs had no case, but a strict reading of the law means they should have been allowed to present whatever they thought they had.

Turns out Hunter Biden was under investigation relating to Burisma and China the whole time. Unlike Comey, Barr decided to not talk about it until after the election.

As a general rule, all politics sucks balls.

99.999999999.....% of the time, the nicer they seem, the worst the end up being in one way or another.

Ironically the ones that dont seem nice from the get go tend to be even worst, be cause fuck all of us, we dont deserve normal lifes.

The most dangerous are the ones offering "free" stuff and/or inciting hate among their country

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?

Shit is getting violent damnit.
https://www.volkskrant.nl/nieuws-achtergrond/rellen-tussen-voor-en-tegenstanders-van-trump-na-mislukte-laatste-poging-om-macht-te-behouden~b6b06d93/

1000s of Trump supporters took to the streets to protest againt the 'stolen' elections.
Violence broke out between pro- and anti-trump protestors.
According to the police, 23 people have been arrested and 8 people were injured, amongst whom 2 police officers.
In Washington multiple fights broke out. 4 people were stabbed, it is as of yet uclear if the victims were pro- or anti Trump supporters.
In Olympia, a black anti-Trump protestor was shot when he approached pro-Trump supporters. After the shot was fired, a man ran away wearing a red cap and holding a gun in his hand, according to the New York Times.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/12/us/4-stabbed-and-one-shot-as-trump-supporters-and-opponents-clash.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage
Amongst the pro-Trump protestors there were many ' Proud Boys', shouting ' four more years' and loudly proclaiming they will not accept Biden for president.


Meanwhile on Parler, the alternative for Twitter that is used a lot by extreme-right, many people are calling to take up arms and kill the supreme court judges, among others.


I really hope that once Trump is no longer president, each and every state that saw violence over the election results will sue him for inciting violence and domestic terrorism (trying to destroy democracy).
