lol, fscking pathetic.

This is what she said, after getting a barrage of racist, violent threats, including lynching threats:

At the start of the Tuesday Facebook video, Johnson thanks "everybody who is supporting our efforts, and when I say our efforts, I’m talking about doing things right and in order."

"Don’t get upset with folks, and start cussing them out and all that. Don’t. It never works," she states.

"Be smart. You don’t have to yell. You don’t have to curse anybody out. You don’t have to call people names. Hit their asses in the pocketbook. Hit ‘em in the pocketbook."

Soon the Rep's are going to realize that the impeached lame duck Orange Snollygoster has no power to enact revenge, and they'll all abandon him.​

Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) is making a list for President Donald Trump to review of every Republican who signs on to support a lawsuit filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton aimed at overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election.

As reported by CNN’s Jake Tapper, Johnson sent out an email to every Republican serving in the House of Representatives asking them to sign onto an amicus brief that will be filed in support of Paxton’s lawsuit, which many legal experts say has little chance at succeeding in overturning the 2020 election.

“[Trump] specifically asked me to contact all Republican Members of the House and Senate today and request that all join on to our brief,” wrote Johnson. “He said he will be anxiously awaiting the final list to review.”

According to Tapper, some House Republicans are justifying signing onto the brief because “their constituents have enough questions about the integrity of the election, they want SCOTUS to intervene to set the record straight.” Tapper notes, however, that those questions exist because of “the president and his minions lying.”

Additionally, one House Republican tells Tapper they were “put off” by the email.

“Are we the party of list-making now?” he wondered.

Still doesn't change the fact that they area boot-licking sycophant toadies.

Nice way to get a civil war going.

I mean seven states tried this before and it *did* get a civil war going.

In light of Marcia Fudge's letter, let's take a look at the kind of individuals Republicans (specifically Rep. Louis Gohmert and the rest of the "Justice for Warriors Congressional Caucus") find worth defending.

Robert Bales Among 8 Former Troops, Contractors Petitioning Trump for Pardons

Petitions have been filed in several high-profile war crimes cases seeking pardons from President Donald Trump.

Not to mention the convicted war criminal that Donald "Dove" Trump decided to pardon.

Nope. Just check info on Biden's most prominent supporters. Hint: all big political donations are transactional in nature.

So... don't actually look at Biden, and also vaguely look at some political donations, which all politicians get. Right.

Guess who else big tech donated to... Republicans and Bernie Sanders.

You would need a more activist Democrat to truely take on Big Tech. Let me be clear: I will support any politician who wants to break up Big Tech.

You a Warren-bro now? Nice.

Here’s how we can break up Big Tech

By Elizabeth Warren

medium.com

The weird thing about Big Tech is both Republicans and Democrats want to reduce the power of these firms (although for different reasons) yet there hasn't been any substantial movement for ages.

Not very weird. Republicans don't actually want to and people like Hawley who pretend they do are phonies, as evidenced by their actions. They jumped at giving big tech billionaires an enormous tax cut and concentrating their power.

Corporate Democrats also don't really want to. The only sincere party here are more left wing Democrats and independents - Warren, Sanders, AOC etc. And they don't hold anywhere near the balance of power.

You know who's been one of the leading sceptics of big tech's push into facial recognition? Not the arch conservatives who pretend to care about civil liberties and freedom. AOC!

lol, good sign how serious these toadie idiots are with this Texas lawsuit. Invalidate the things we also do, but only for the states that didn't vote for Trump.

Also, the Texas AG's lawsuit thinks other states' elections should be invalidated because they supposedly did things that Texas also did. Somehow he doesn't think the election in Texas should be invalidated.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Some more tolerance from the right. Terrorising public health officials' families because they don't want to wear masks.

Maryland's esteemed AG isn't wrong.

He's also one of the AGs suing Fakebook, so he's doubly not wrong.

Your willingness to be ignorant and attempt to downplay unacceptable behaviour from an official is disgusting. You might as well join the EFF and sing "shoot the Boer" with them.

She has been doxing Trump supporters and calling on her "soldiers" to "do it right" and "make them pay".

So this is just a warning to you Trumpers. Be careful. Walk lightly. We ain't playing with you.

Those of you who are soldiers, you know how to do it. Do it right. Be in order. Make them pay.

PA GOP Leader: My House Would Get ‘Bombed’ If I Didn’t Want To Help Trump Overturn Election

Pennsylvania Senate Majority Leader Kim Ward (R) laid out in stark terms the pressure she and other Republicans are experiencing from their base to boost President Donald Trump'

talkingpointsmemo.com

In an interview with the New York Times published on Wednesday, Ward described the backlash that she would’ve been dealt if she openly stated that she didn’t want to sign her fellow Republican colleagues’ letter last week requesting that federal Pennsylvania lawmakers invalidate the state’s Electoral College votes for President-elect Joe Biden.

“If I would say to you, ‘I don’t want to do it,’ I’d get my house bombed tonight,” Ward said

Party of the working class, folks.

How Kelly Loeffler's firm facilitated an Enron-like scandal.

Intercontinental Exchange provided a platform for "excessive speculation" that cost Georgians millions of dollars.

www.motherjones.com

At a debate on Sunday night, Sen. Kelly Loeffler, the Republican vying in one of the two critical January 5 Senate run-offs in Georgia, declared that she has been using her “private sector experience to make sure that Georgians get back to work.” But one of her private sector experiences was an episode in which her company provided a platform for highly speculative unregulated energy trading that ended up causing an Enron-like scandal and costing residents of Georgia millions of dollars.

Republicans suing Republicans. This is what Trump has brought the country to.

 

[buka001]

Oh so Trump got that ahistorical rubbish about Ohio and Florida from the Texas SCOTUS filing.

How dumb are they?
