I am cautiously optimistic about Jack smith. He's a career prosecutor graduated from Harvard and instead of going private sector went straight into public. He has also prosecuted war crimes at the hague.
He has prosecuted both Democrat and Republican high-ranking members before. And he is also shown no hesitation to drop a case if he thought that the prosecution didn't have enough evidence.
If Jack Smith goes ahead with indictments against the Trump team, which I absolutely believe that he will given the evidence, I really do have hope that it could actually mean something this time.
Here's to hoping.
This is what happens when your populace is wildly undereducated in civics. 🤦 >

It's not just undereducation.  It's disinformation and conspiracy propaganda achieving new power levels. >

Yes and people are susceptible to this because they are undereducated in how disinformation and conspiracy work. You don't need a college degree to be taught these things. It's really sad but I don't have a solution for it allowed under the First Amendment. >

Without the first amendment what is your solution, mass censorship and “re-education” programs? >


what is your solution

Mandatory critical thinking training in schools.  No critical thinking in your school program?  No federal funding. >

And how do you know that wouldn't just be subverted by the power structure? So critical thinking is just doublespeak for indoctrination? >

Guess everyone but you is just an ignorant fuck, eh? >

That guy is a bit arrogant, but to answer your question, of course it can be subject to influence but so is everything really, doesn’t mean teaching media literacy for example has no value, the educated population would have to fight to keep it unbiased.
Teaching how media works, how the scientific method works etc. it’s pretty non-biased as they are just methods being taught that people can apply to any topic and arrive at their own educated opinion. >

Those are all good things to teach people. My concern, is since the hypothetical was about a mandated course of study, how that could be used by bad actors to indoctrinate citizens instead of enlighten them. It wouldn't be the first time a regime called something the exact opposite of what it actually was. >

Anyone surprised?
The election deniers are the Republicans with gravitas within their party. They use McCarthy as a door mat when they enter the Capitol, and McCarthy responds with thank you, sir/ma'am, may I have another? >

NoT aLl RePubLiCaNs. Remember when they kept telling everyone it's just a small faction and doesn't represent the party as a whole? Yeah we knew it was BS then and it's only been less and less true as it's gone on... >

Our country is fucked lol >

I think we're okay. The house doesn't have any real power. People will see that the Republicans could care less about governing while the Dems stay in lock step opposition in both their House caucus and the Senate (minus the assholes we all know). I don't think this is going to be the win Republicans think it is. Just another nail in the coffin of moral decay and Party death. Let's Go  Dark Brandon! >


People will see that the Republicans could care less about governing

They literally tried to overthrow the government, or supported those who did, and that wasn't enough to make people see.
The House is going to spend the next 2 years passing legislation and then blame the Dems for it not becoming law. Republican voters will hear about this on Fox News and continue to think the Dems are the problem and then continue to vote R. >

Could NOT care less. If they could care less, then they must care somewhat! >

"Could care less" and "anyways" are a couple of my grammatical pet peeves. >

You monster. >

Traitor enablers reign. This is the current state of the GOP. >

Appointing Gym Jordan chair of judiciary is like appointing Bernie Madoff head of treasury. >

The insurrectionist won. >

They never win. And sooner or later, they keep going down, as it has happened since Nov. 2020 😊 >

Apparently Treason pays... >

What in the fuck is happening and why the fuck are we all just so ok with it?!? >

Once they’re in office, it’s pretty much out of the public’s hands. 
The answer lies in getting people to stop voting for malicious people, but as long as they still get their jolt of feeling superior when they do so, it won’t change, so this is pretty much where we’ll be at until something collapses. >

…and the coup continues >

It's hilarious that McCarthy thinks he has any actual power >

I think hes going to learn over the coming weeks that he doesnt.  Its going to be painful. >

The stage is set.
I actually think they have an even crazier plan to reinstall Trump than Jan 6. >

The eternal plan it to cut freedoms, rights, and any spending other than salaries and defense. They will be content just continuing to do that forever, and will continue to accrue wins doing so. >

Every one of these democracy-busting nazis should be summarily expelled from Congress and their seats refilled in special, run-off elections. 
Why are these insufferable bloviates allowed to destabilize the country? 
If they have any tie to support for Trump at all, whatever, they should be EXPELLED and replaced by special election. 
How is this not an automatic thing? (Rhetorical questions. We're frelled.) >

This is on Garland.  He did nothing to hold those who did this accountable for 2 years.  He is more concerned about not appearing partisan than enforcing the law and doing his job. >

The absolute chicken shit nature that he has consistently shown is just unthinkable to me. The man is as guilty as any of the Republicans that he has diligently shielded. >

He and Mueller are accomplices to this travesty. They are both massive disgraces to the fundamentals of American institutional responsibility.
