The 2024 elections will show conclusively which direction America is going in. By that time, the voting suppression will either be firmly established and a GOP fascist president will be in power, or the measures that the GOP is trying to install will be overturned. If the Democrats keep the White House and the Congress and/or the Senate, I cannot see any outcome except a form of civil war. The only caveat is if the Democrats and Biden pursue prosecution of each and every person in the Trump regime who violated the trust placed in them and the law.

Mike Flynn:" I did not call for a coup despite what that video shows".
   
Fired former Trump National Security Advisor and retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn is now denying he ever called for a violent Myanmar military-style coup in the U.S., despite numerous reports and video that appear to show or say he did.

Flynn reportedly told a QAnon audience in Dallas Sunday night that a deadly Myanmar-style coup "should happen here" in the United States, according to CNN, which carefully said he "appeared to endorse a Myanmar-style coup in the United States on Sunday."

The Daily Beast reports Flynn "told a QAnon conference this weekend that he supports a violent military coup in the U.S."

Newsweek reports Flynn "said that a Myanmar-like military coup "should happen" in the U.S."

An attendee, according to video, had asked Flynn, "I want to know why what happened in Myanmar can't happen here?"

"No reason. I mean, it should happen here," Flynn said, as Go Local Prov and others reported.

Trump tells followers he 'expects to be reinstated' in August as MAGA extremists call for Myanmar-style coup
   
Four months into Joe Biden's presidency and almost seven months after the 2020 presidential election, some far-right supporters of former President Donald Trump continue to believe that he will be returning to the White House sometime in 2021. According to New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, Trump "has been telling a number of people he's in contact with that he expects he will get reinstated by August." And this comes at a time when Trump's former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, continues to draw criticism for suggesting that the United States should have a military coup along the lines of Myanmar.

MAGA heads go berserk over 'incompetent failure' Jenna Ellis after she correctly notes Trump can't be 'reinstated'
   
Jenna Ellis, an attorney who fought to overturn the 2020 presidential election, was blasted by conservatives over the Memorial Day holiday after she insisted that former President Donald Trump cannot be "reinstated."

Ellis made the assertion on Twitter after attorney Sidney Powell told a group of people that Trump could "simply be reinstated."

"The election was lawless, six states allowed their delegates to vote by false certifications, but the EC process happened," Ellis tweeted. "The Constitution has only one process for removal of a sitting president: impeachment and conviction." "No, President Trump is not going to be 'reinstated,'" she added.

"Her [sic] and Rudy failed to take action to prevent the steal in 2019. She was always basking in the limelight and money, while being an incompetent failure. Now she is in her cat box pushing kitty litter over her," one person wrote.

"She can shove that statement up her ass," another comment said.

That could be the dumbest thing is that Trump supporters think that once the military has performed this coup, that they would turn it over to a person that called them suckers and losers. A man who dodged the draft and said that McCain wasn't a war hero because he was captured.

Truly the stupidest of people.

There is a subtext to all this: the MAGA/QAnon/GOPers are saying and demonstrating that they will refuse to acknowledge any president who is not of their choosing. Moreover, they intend to oppose any and all legislative and executive actions initiated by a Democratic regime and reserve the right to use all means to this end- including violence and insurrection. The goal is to overthrow any government they do not like, and voter suppression as well as gerrymandering are all part of their options.

I personally think it's to late. The only thing chance they have left them out of this spiral to oblivion is their judicial branch. But I dont think it happens.This isn't something that has just happened lately. The US has always had an over the top patriotic zeal. The large well armed hard right and religious right believe their country has been corrupted and stolen from them. They want it back. Now the problem is the country they want back has never existed. It's non stop brainwashing. They are the only country where you hear on a regular basis  the following : " they are the greatest  country in the history of the world " ,  "that they police the world and without them all democracy would fall ",  they were the 1st  democracy " , "the greatest democracy " , " they drive the world economy ",  " they have never lost a war ",  " the greatest medical system "............I could go on .But the point is Americans believe this BS. That portion of their population feels cheated and robbed of it and they are going to try to get it back. Which of course is impossible but they will burn down the house trying.

some good news from biden

 

"Biden told the crowd he was assigning Vice President Kamala Harris to lead the charge for passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Act."

 

and, no big deal really,

"VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. – Two foster children broke into a Volusia County home, Tuesday night, then used guns they found inside the residence -- including an AK-47 -- to repeatedly fire at deputies for about 30 minutes, according to sheriff’s officials.

The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office said 12-year-old Travis O’Brien and 14-year-old Nicole Jackson face felony charges of attempted first-degree murder of law enforcement officers and armed burglary."

 

🤣

"greatest country in the world"

20 Republican Senators refused to meet to Brian Sicknick's mother and partner, someone needs to name all of them maybe even get some big billboards with all their disgusting faces on them especially come mid terms, maybe they have no shame but at least put it out there 

Honestly, if you're still voting for the GOP, you're probably pretty gross already and no billboard is going to change your mind.

'Striking, horrific and brutal': Reporter details disturbing accusations against a 1/6 rioter in new filing
Pennsylvania resident Ryan Samsel is among the many people facing federal criminal charges in connection with the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol Building. 

MacFarlane tweets, "WHOA!!! The filing just submitted in the Jan 6 prosecution of Ryan Samsel of Pennsylvania might" include "the most striking, horrific and brutal accusations I've read so far in *any* of these 460+ cases."

MacFarlane reports that last week, Samsel asked to be released from the Washington, D.C. jail where he is being held, "citing injuries he allegedly suffered in (a) beating there."

The U.S. Department of Justice, in response, has noted Samsel's history of violence.

Samsel, MacFarlane reports, has been "accused of knocking over" a female police officer on January 6 and "knocking her unconscious." And MacFarlane adds that according to federal prosecutors, Samsel has a history of "violence against women." The Pennsylvania resident, MacFarlane writes, was "accused of choking & beating his pregnant girlfriend in 2011" and smashing "hot pizza in victim's face, pouring beer over head, throwing her into canal, holding her head under."

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy under FBI investigation: report
   
Embattled U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, installed by then-President Donald Trump, is under FBI investigation over possible illegal campaign fundraising activity.

The Washington Post, citing sources, reports the campaign fundraising involves his former business.

"FBI agents in recent weeks interviewed current and former employees of DeJoy and the business, asking questions about political contributions and company activities," The Post reports. " Prosecutors also issued a subpoena to DeJoy himself for information, one of the people said."

DeJoy personally donated over $1 million to the Trump re-election campaign and the RNC, but DeJoy has been accused of strong-arming employees into making donations and then being reimbursed for them, which is highly illegal.

In September DeJoy issued a statement expressing "regret" after The Washington Post published a bombshell report revealing that when he was CEO of New Breed Logistics he reimbursed employees for making donations to Republican candidates.

In his very specific statement DeJoy's personal spokesperson, Monty Hagler, did not fully deny DeJoy had engaged in the illegal practice.
