Milestones Toward an Authoritarian Government

Then I guess it is not worthy of my time. Nor anyone else’s IMO. I’m not the demographic (GOP), so MO is moot.

Kind of afraid to ask, but what is that picture supposed to be? Some kind of weapon or restraint device?

I couldn’t make it out, so I decided that maybe it was just supposed to be “darkness”. Which is dumb, as the darkness does seem to be an ally here.

Top Generals Nominated for New Positions Must Now Meet With Trump

The move is a departure from past practice and has raised worries that it could lead to the politicization of the military’s top ranks.

Geez. Who writes this stuff? Of course it IS the politicization of the military’s top ranks. There’s no “could lead” about it.

People who don’t want to spend millions defending lawsuits or fighting politically motivated government “oversight”.

The evidence submitted proving Bove told officials to ignore judicial rulings he didn’t like was mysteriously “lost” by the DOJ for months, and only found right before the vote to confirm him.

Still wondering where the “treason” part is, since most of the allegations are when Obama was still President and some before the elections.

The goal, she insisted, was to make Trump’s election win appear illegitimate, thus laying the basis of a “years-long coup against him”.

And talking about the President (tRump) isn’t treasonous, at least…in the USA…I know.

Surprised she didn’t include, “leading to tRump’s loss in the 2020 election, so TREASON!”

But, there is a catch there. Can’t say that “Trump lost”.

She needs to say “Making it close enough that the Ds could steal the election.”

We don’t have to worry about white nationalist terrorism any more, as they are running the show. It’s not terrorism if the government does it.

What kind of unscrupulous person would spend years casting doubt on an election that they knew to be legitimate?

The projection is blinding.

As usual, every allegation is a confession.

I agree with others that this belongs in this thread.

The firing has now happened. Scary stuff.

The departmental commissioner for the CPI number will be gone when that number goes sour.

Yep. I’m sure Trump is taking notes.
