Repugs announcing exactly how they intend to steal elections, and install fascism
Steve Bannon explains latest 'overthrow' plan:
'We're going to take over the election apparatus'
he has an expansive plan to "take over the election apparatus."
"We're going to get it decertified in Arizona, in Georgia, in Pennsylvania, in -- wait for it -- Wisconsin.
We're going to get these electors decertified."
"They are now going to volunteer
to become a precinct committeeman,
they're going to volunteer to become an election official,
they're going to come and run for county clerk and overthrow these county clerks and
they're going to take over the secretaries of state,"
"And we're going to be relentless and we're not going to give up," he added.
"And we're going to take over with elections."

Tucker Carlson Roasts Eric Swalwell as the ‘Most Physically Unclean Member of Congress,
’ Who Has Had ‘Multiple Chlamydia Infections’
The Fox News host cited no sources for the claim,
which he made while a graphic reading, “In bed with Fang Fang” appeared over his shoulder.
Fang Fang refers to Christine Fang, a suspected Chinese spy who helped fundraise for multiple Democratic politicians, including Swalwell.

Does it not have a negative affect on your mental well being to consume this political news smut 24/7?
He's some sort of a shill, probably has scripts set up to copy and paste every single output of these sites to many other sites. He's a bot basically.
This gonna have to wait until the new year when I’m not typing on my phone, tbh, but generally circles around the same theme: this started from having a legislative agenda (a priority list of items), to getting it done, to how effective it is/was once they got it done.
Look, I happen to manage a lot of people and projects. It all always starts with an idea and a plan. If you don’t have one, we won’t even call you back. Not all those ideas and plans get a green light, not all those projects end up getting done and even those that get done aren’t always a commercial success. But they’re all completely different steps in a long process.
Here we’re discussing the first step, what are the ideas and how they plan to get them done. People clearly agree and disagree with them being a priority, and also agree/disagree how to fund them and how to get them done, but there’s little mistaking what the priorities are.
Repugs and right wing hate media, agitating for political violence = terrorism

Alaska’s anti-vaxx mayor turns off city’s water fluoridation for hours, later learns it’s illegal
The devoutly anti-science mayor of Anchorage, Alaska, was forced to admit to turning off the fluoridation of the city’s water supply Tuesday,
after learning it was a violation of municipal code.
Once again, this is why you don’t vote for someone with no experience governing and who is also a conspiracy theorist.

"only true Patriots can fix this rigged election"
​https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/pro-trump-california-man-who-threatened-brian-stelter-don-lemon-and-others-after-bidens-2020-win-is-sentenced-to-prison/Robert Lemke, 36, sent threatening messages to around 50 victims, including journalists and politicians, according to federal prosecutors.
He chose his targets “because of their statements expressing that then-President Trump had lost the 2020 presidential election,” the Department of Justice said in a press release Monday. He told a family member of one journalist that he and others were “nearby, armed and ready” to take action against them.
Lemke also sent threatening messages on Jan. 6, as supporters of Donald Trump overran the Capitol building in an attempt to stop Congress from counting the Electoral College votes and certifying Joe Biden’s win in the 2020 presidential election.
As that attack was ongoing, Lemke sent threatening text messages to a family member of a journalist, stating: “[The Journalist’s] words are putting you and your family at risk. We are nearby, armed and ready. Thousands of us are active/retired law enforcement, military, etc. That’s how we do it.”
That day, Lemke also targeted a New York city-based member of Congress, sending a message to the representative’s brother that included a picture of a home in the same neighborhood as the Congressman.
“Your brother is putting your entire family at risk with his lies and other words,” Lemke’s message said. “We are armed and nearby your house. You had better have a word with him. We are not far from his either. Already spoke to [the Congressman’s son] and know where his kids are.”
FASCIST GOP 'Tidal Wave' of Voter Suppression Set to Intensify in 2022
The past year saw an undeniable acceleration of the passage of anti-democratic state laws ... with state legislatures enacting more voting restrictions in 2021 than in any year since the organization began tracking such laws in 2011.
Nineteen states passed 34 restrictive laws between January 1 and December 7.
several categories of anti-voting restrictions, including laws
restricting access to voting by mail,
new or expanded voter ID requirements,
the criminalization of "ordinary, lawful behavior by election officials" who try to help voters, and
laws allowing voter purges.
"legislators introduced bills to
allow partisan actors to interfere with election processes or even reject election results entirely,"
... empower state legislatures to reject election results and
Texas's S.B. 7, which would allow elected judges to do the same.
they claim are aimed at maintaining "election integrity"ing liars
—with 440 restrictive voting laws proposed in 2021—
zero states have found any evidence of widespread voter fraud.
2022, at least
13 bills have been pre-filed in state legislatures in four states—
Arizona, Missouri, New Hampshire, and South Carolina
—meaning they'll receive top priority when the new legislative session begins.
Dozens of what the report called "carryover bills" ... focus on restricting voters' access to mail-in voting.
Pennsylvania and Kansas aim to shorten deadlines for applying for and delivering mail ballots,
while Ohio lawmakers will continue debating whether election workers can assist people who return ballots.

JFK’s return didn’t materialize.
Now QAnoners drink from a communal bleach punch bowl—literally
several members of the Leek family report that their relative,
a woman who abandoned her spouse and children to follow QAnon leader Michael Brian Protzman to Dallas in November to wait for the return of assassinated President John F. Kennedy and his late son, JFK Jr.,
is now drinking a tail containing chlorine dioxide (industrial bleach) and distributing it to other cult members.

Repug Sturmabteilung
For mainstream liberals in rural America,
daily life involves dealing with far-right intimidation
in these rural red areas where the politics of menace and thuggery have taken over—
sort of an inverted version of the cliché; the rural Biden voter who can barely show his face at the local café. The reality.
All around the Trump-loving rural sectors of the nation,
daily life has become filled with foreboding, intimidation, threats, and ugliness,
all emanating from authoritarian right-wingers directing their aggression at anyone who fails to follow their dictates—
and the intensity has been increasing.
In the past month, Proud Boys and militia “Patriots” have turned up to
harass LGBTQ-friendly teens at libraries,
mask-promoting school board members, and
mall shops that require masks.
White supremacists now openly march in rural capitals, threatening bystanders.

Georgia county to close all but one polling place in name of making voting 'easier and more accessible'
seven polling places in Lincoln County that were open in the 2020 election, six will be shut down.
“Lincoln County is a very rural county," she told the paper.
"Some people live as far as 23 miles from the city of Lincolnton.
This is not about convenience for the citizens. This is about control.
This is about the good old boys wanting to do what they’ve always done, which is power and control.”

All y'all blood-thirsty RWNJs gone join in the slaughter?
Or do you just talk tough and carry a small ?
Extra Stout touched on an important point - the donors who get to bask in the glow of their virtue while knowing full well they'll never have to actually deal with the fallout because these notions won't come to fruition. These are the NIMBYs. There are NIMBYs for things other than housing.
:rodeo
:clown
There’s a bit of everything, tbh, that’s exactly why I said politics are messy. There’s also a lot of throw to the wall (ie green new deal, Romney Medicare voucher program, etc) and see what sticks, which eventually shapes policy. Or legislation that looks more likely to pass which gets changed a million times before it actually gets voted and all the special interests that denounced it now support it because there’s a cutout for them.
Again, going to the very start of this, outside of ‘triggering dem libs’, what are the policy proposals of the current GOP? They had years and years to come up with a healthcare reform plan to replace Barrycare, they still have zero to show (the closest was Dennison promising the best and cheapest healthcare ever, a departure from where the GOP has been traditionally in healthcare, and when a law needed to materialize it didn’t). Anti-immigration is a political position, but where was the legislation to back it up? Everything got done by executive order.
Things like this used to be substantially more clear in the past. You had Paul Ryan, for example, doing Cato’s work in economic policy and legislation, or the gang of 8 senators looking at immigration reform. This doesn’t automatically means I support every Democratic policy position or legislation, but that’s it’s much more clear where that party stands policy-wise if they had the votes to implement them.
Why did republicans need a plan to replace Obamacare? Republicans have always stood by the fact that health insurance should have been left alone. So to answer your question...republicans simply want it to go back to the way it was. You pay for insurance and get to choose your doctor. Simple as that. If you didnt have money to buy health insurance...sucks for you. But democrats AGAIN...screwed everything up and thought health insurance was a cons utional right...which it isnt. Now that Obamacare is a complete failure..they want republicans to save the day and ask where the plan is. LMAO. Just like democrats wiping away student debt and wanting to give illegals compensation pay for being treated badly at the border. Republicans way of life is stand on your own two feet...democrats way of life is dont worry...someone else will take care of you.
So no Medicare.
What do you think your premiums will be when you're 75?
The current GOP aren't in the WH. Their policy proposals mean jack .
I like to not worry, I'd like for someone else to foot the bill. I know in reality it cannot happen on a grand scale based on simple math. I also know that having someone else foot the bill is like living under their roof, you have to walk the line they draw and that's not my idea of freedom as an adult in this country.
