More like victimhood… These people act like victims if they don’t get what they want…
I still suspect the idea behind this shit is desensitize the public to false claims, then cheat their asses off and when the Dems try to fight it, they point back at how none of the fraud claims were true, even though it was the GOP doing it the whole time.
Conspiracy theory, I know, but it would be their style. >

That’s called pivoting. When the initial plan doesn’t work, convert it into something that does. >

Think that was the initial plan.  Remember that time carl rove melted down when the election numbers weren't what he was expecting?  He seemed awfully sure of that he thought the numbers should be.  Same year anonymous claimed they stopped election hacking >

I’ve looked for more info on their claim to have stopped a GOP hack in Ohio(?) that Rove freaked about but have never found more than the claim.  Anyone know more? >

Anonymous in a video, described how he used 4chan on Reddit to hack Rove's emails and then the RNC servers. He obtained the instructions for how to use the "Man in the middle" software to change the results of the elections in several key states. He found that all he had to do to neutralize the election fraud software was to change the password.
Having hacked into Rove's computer and the RNC servers, he watched while Rove made over 100 attempts to alter election results in the hours after the polls closed.

A year or 2 later, there was a PBS special about the Republican fraud software. This is the source you should look for. It is probably on YouTube. 
In the program they interviewed some of the senior programmers at Reddit, one of whom said that the person dressed as Anonymous in the video had been the chief programmer at Reddit. She also said he had been murdered a few months later. >

Wait - are you saying Aaron Swartz was murdered for preventing the GOP from stealing an election? >

I’d like to know as well. >

easy to find >

I know that part. But was Aaron Swartz involved? >

What part of this don’t you get? There’s a conspiracy theory. Rove. Republicans. Election fraud. Thwarted. Anonymous. Schwartz. Suicide.
It’s not real.
Edit: oh no! Down votes! Yes give them all to me. Reduce this account to ash!!!! >

Her entire campaign was based on if she lost. She lost and won't accept what she was running for. >

Hmm, play book sounds familiar >


and there's little reason to believe he and his allies won't return to brainstorming shiny new ways to take a run at another coup effort. The odds of there being no downside to trying don't seem to have changed much. The money keeps flowing. The criminal referrals were headline-grabbing, but have no power to make Garland do anything. >

Sucking enough to lose, and being too much of a loser to know it, is a badge of honor in today’s GOP. >

The Dunning-Kruger Party. >

Exactly. These GOP Fascist traitors need to be punished, or they'll never stop... >

The goal of everything is to make it so painful that good people just stop fighting either because the good people are broke from fighting or just exhausted and the rest just try to keep their heads down so they don't get piled on by deranged wingnuts. >

Could she just fuck off already!!??!! >

I think Kari "Fuck Off Already" Lake is currently running second to Kari "Loser" Lake in the Nickname Stakes but it's coming up on the rails. >


Two years later, that gamble is paying off nicely. The political and logistical headaches for holding Trump or any of the other high-level coup plotters accountable have, indeed, prevented Attorney General Merrick Garland from arresting any of them. That's why the January 6 committee went out of its way to make criminal referrals for Trump and Eastman. As Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said, the only thing that will stop Trump's future attempts is "accountability that can only be found in the criminal justice system." 
This really is a "why not keep trying" situation for Trump and his allies. Call it a forever coup, with some part of the larger plan to seize power always in motion. They don't lack resources, for one thing. On the contrary, the forever coup is quite profitable. As the January 6 report shows, the Big Lie has opened the spigot for "an unprecedented amount of political donations," with "much of it from small-dollar donors who were promised their money would 'Stop the Steal.'" Mostly, however, the money went "to fund the former President's other endeavors and to enrich his associates." Lake's never-ending efforts to steal the Arizona election look to be more of the same. Her "Save Arizona" fund is steadily raising money. There's even an option to become a monthly donor, hinting at the indefinite nature of this attempted coup. >

Skimming from the legal funds is Lake's new job, it is probably extremely profitable. >

For people who complain about snowflakes, they sure get butt hurt when they lose. >

The media needs to ignore her. Who cares if she's to immature to concede. Let her spend money filing challenges that go nowhere and pretending to be some kind of rebel against the system. >

Yeah that’s the thing. I feel like this whole effort relies on coverage and she’s on life support at this point. Just stop covering it and those fundraising emails will stop being effective >

She’s such a loser. Lu who zer. >

Powerful financial interests are behind this, they are taking over state legislatures through gerrymandering and voter disenfranchisement. They have achieved these laws and legislative reforms by gaslighting about imaginary voter fraud. This has set off the rightwing base of voters they depend on. The forces behind this want to apply what they have done to states like Wisconsin nationally, to install a permanent minority rule and protected from repeal with constitutional locks and bolts which they hope to achieve through convening a Constitutional Covention when they have taken over enough states. >

It’s not a “forever coup,” it’s the daily whine. >

Media should market it as such, give it the glamorous glow it really deserves. >

Our institutions are not failing — this was how they were designed to work. Wealthy, powerful people using the law to their advantage while everyone else is paralyzed from retaliation. This article crystallized my sense of this. My prediction is that Trump and the rest of his cronies, even if indicted, will never face any real punishment because they have sufficient power and wealth to avoid it. We, the USA, will stay in this limbo state of slow-boiling insurrection until some catastrophe happens while the democrats are in power and the republicans get sufficient votes or public support to finally make the insurrection a reality. Everyone is trying to not think about it, but that is the plain and obvious state of affairs we find ourselves in. Merick Garland is not going to magically grow a spine, the democrats are not going to spontaneously understand the peril we are in, wealthy donors aren’t going to evolve a conscience, and the GOP base isn’t going to become ethical or educated. That leaves our institutions and they are not failing — this is how they work. We’ve always had an open door to authoritarian rule because our framers and our rulers would rather have a dictator with an elite class (them) than actually share power with the masses. >

I've been thinking for a while now that Trump must be infuriating to the rich not for any of the reasons the rest of us dislike him, but because he's exposed just how severe the divide between the rich and everyone else is.
They don't want to actually punish him, because that would set a precedent that the rich can be held accountable for hurting non-rich people  (which is unacceptable), but he keeps escalating.
Their caste system relies on pretending everyone is equal while they reap all the benefits, and it's falling apart. >

Agreed. Until these Lake-types are not held accountable, this is our future. :( >

I KNOW… RIGHT!  I’m abhorred these traitors are still walking around, threatening US National security, lying, committing crimes, encouraging violence… bribing officials including the SCOTUS!  It’s like the GOP has turned into a bunch of fascist Nazis. >

Are >

Paying $33K to the other side's lawyers is a good start. To some candidates that's a ton of money especially considering it has to come out of their own pocket, they can't use campaign money for it.  Sure maybe they could find donors or suckers to pony up the cash, but I'm sure that well will dry up eventually too. >

I guarantee you there are people lining up to pay Kari Lake’s fines for her. >

I have a feeling she's going to be Trumps running mate in 2024. >

It's time for the court to stop accepting this garbage from an obvious loser. Her lawyers have been sanctioned for wasting the court's time. No further consideration should be given to baseless accusations. She's the fraud. >

She needs to go to prison. >

She could be deemed a vexatious litigant, or at minimum her representatives could be found to have violated their legal oaths and be stripped of their law licence which would quickly see others keeping away from her. >

Courts need to start putting the careers of the lawyers who file these suits on the line. 
Initial filing? Sure, a single suit is one thing if there is the 'possibility' of something wrong. An immediate suit to allow for gaining evidence and testimony seems valid. The case can be rushed (and the gathering of facts a priority) and ruled on.
Subsequent cases? After the first, if a lawyer files suit with ZERO additional FACTS, they can be disbarred. If they find new facts - facts, not opinions - then sure, allow it to proceed and be ruled on. But if they keep litigating under the same bullshit reasons as we've seen so far: "I know", "I heard", etc.. full sanctions, fines and disbarment for those involved. As long as the lawyers are allowed to continue without penalty, you'll find the bottom feeders happily willing to keep filing these lawsuits indefinitely. Make THEM put their lives on the line? No one will touch them without REAL evidence beyond batshit crazy conspiracy theories. >

Lock her ass up for a while, maybe 20 years would send a good message! >

She belongs in a padded cell.  What trash >

They are using mass media as a tool to keep people misinformed just your average dictatorship would do >

Karunt of all Karunts! >

She needs help. It’s so wonderful that she lost. >

She is gunning to be his VP candidate >

We live in a world where the GQP if free to do anything they want, because there are no consequences. 
I'm embarrassed to be American, I shit you not. >

And to think, she used to be just another bubbly news reporter that supported Obama.  Seriously people, Trump is the fucking antichrist. >

Mob Mentality needs to be taken care of, along with disinformation and UN-policed parts of the internet. That along with the continuing judicial disgust that these cases see in the courts could bode well for America going into the 2020s. >


UN-policed parts of the internet

lol the wut >

Unpoliced not blue helmets UN policed lol
