So I am not a lawyer, but it does not seem to me that it matters if Trump believed the election was stolen or not.
Follow me.
You receive a statement from your back that says your account is overdrawn.
You know this can’t be true. You call the bank and accuse them of stealing your money!
They are thieves!
You tell all your friends that your bank has stolen your money. You know its true.
As is your right, you do any number of press interviews and repeat your absolute certainty that the bank stole your money.
As is your right you go to court 61 times to get that money you know is yours!
And 61 times the courts throw out your case or rule against you! The judges are in on it!
You accuse the bank regulators of being in on the heist! They have to be! Everybody has to be in on it!
All of the above is something every American, regardless of station in life, would be within their rights to say and do - whether they believed what they were saying or knew they were actually overdrawn and lying through their teeth.
But then you cross the line.
You are so certain you are right. So certain the bank stole your money.
You decide to rob the bank!
Damn it! You are going to get your money back!
Some of your friends decide to help you! They think you were robbed too!
A whole bunch of people, even some of your lawyers become part of the plot.
But it turns out there are cameras! Millions watch your attempted robbery on TV! And watch it fail.
Lordy there are tapes!
You broke the law.
Some of those friends are testifying against you.
Lawyers who knew better will be disbarred or worse.
And the jail cell awaits - not for what you said. But for what you did.
Accusing the bank of stealing your money was one thing.
Attempting to rob the bank was a crime.
In the last 24 hrs, Conservative influentials have: railed vs a movie based on a doll; exploited a man’s drowning to spread crazy conspiracy theories; and defended the skills learned thru & “benefits” of slavery by making same argument re the Holocaust! 🤦🏻♀️
I’m not making this up.
Chris Christie on Donald Trump:
"He said that it was ok to suspend the Constitution if you think the election was stolen from you...Anybody, in my opinion, who says that it's okay to suspend the Constitution is disqualified from being President of the United States."
You know why Republicans are attacking the new Barbie movie? Because they don't want you to notice that they never propose anything that helps your life. The only thing they ever pass is tax cuts for the rich. And rest of the time they distract you with this kind of horseshit.
Republicans are boycotting Bud Light because they made a single can of beer for a trans influencer.
Democrats are boycotting Marriott because they hosted a conference for a Hitler quoting hate group.
If you can’t see the difference, there’s no point explaining it to you.
Please do not forget that President Biden promised he'd cancel student loans. And he delivered for all of us. But every Republican Justice Supreme Court struck down his program. So, please, don't go around blaming President Biden. Blame this Supreme Court.
To recap, this MAGA Supreme Court has:
1. Allowed states to criminalize abortion even in cases of rape, incest
2. Allowed businesses to discriminate against gay people
3. Cost 26 million Americans $10k+ overnight
4. Denied higher education opportunities to people of color
Under House Republicans' newly proposed tax plan, the richest 1 percent of Americans would get a $28 billion tax cut next year alone.
Don't believe them for a second when they claim to be "fiscally responsible."
Hillary Clinton used a private server for some emails.
Republicans wanted her to be imprisoned.
Donald Trump stole, hid, lied about stealing & hiding, and showed to OTHER people, classified national security documents.
Republicans want him to be President.
Any questions?
What is the appeal of Russia to MAGA crowd? They see Russia as a country run by white heterosexual men, no women in power, discrimination against LGBT is state policy, a formal alliance between church & state, a strongman leader in sham democracy. That is their vision of America
Let’s be absolutely clear about who Prighozin is and what he wants. This guy is a murderous thug. And he doesn’t want an iskra in Russia, he wants a military change of command so he can lead a more efficient slaughtering of innocent Ukrainians.
a bridge collapsed in Pennsylvania. the Democratic governor rebuilt it in two weeks. the power grid failed in Texas. the Republican senator fled to Cancun. any questions
