America is ed and un able

Almost Half Of GOP Voters Want Legislators Enabled To Overturn Election Results

A study published on Thursday of support for the "Stop the Steal" movement found

nearly half of Republican voters believe their state legislatures should simply be able to overturn the results of elections.

46 percent of Republican voters believing "that it was appropriate for 'Republican legislators in states won by Joe Biden to try to assign their state's electoral votes to Donald Trump.'"

just 23 percent of Americans overall believe lawmakers should have the power to overturn an election, a dichotomy the report's author

"As Republican states continue to restrict the franchise around manufactured concerns of 'electoral integrity,' and

Republican leaders both local and national work to

purge the party of those who accept the legitimacy of the 2020 election results,

there are lingering questions about whether relitigating the 2020 election is a viable path forward for the GOP,"

nearly 62 percent of Republican voters don't think Biden is the legitimate president, and

two-thirds believe the lie that Trump really won,

Trump continues to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the election,

telling the Christian Broadcasting Network

"I never admitted defeat. ... No, I never, the word is 'concede,' [and] I have not conceded."

the lies Trump and other Republican officials have told about voter fraud have been internalized by GOP voters.

17 percent of Republican voters believe the lie that Trump will be reinstated.

two-thirds of Republican voters, or 67 percent, believe that President Joe Biden did not legitimately win the election.

multiple reviews have found that there was no fraud in the 2020 election,

Republican state lawmakers across the country have used those lies to pass voter suppression legislation across the country,

Republican lawmakers in HOLE Texas tried to

pass a law that would make it easier for election judges to overturn results based on nebulous claims of "fraud."

As with Hitler's BigLie used to takeover Germany

that Germany's horrific status in the 1920 and 1930s was due to filthy Jews, socialists, gypsis, gays

(the real cause was WWI terribly punitive war reparations and hyper inflation Germany caused to devalue those reparations)

the Repug and Trash BigLies are widespread voter fraud (for last 20 years) and its corollary that Biden stole the 2020 election.

Mixed with those top BigLies are smaller BigLies that immigrants, Muslims, non-white (Blacks, brown, Chinese) cause America's problems.

All of these FASCIST BigLies cover for the FACT that Capitalism has ed America into un ablity and

that its Capitalists who are financing the BigLies as their strategy to take over America and into Capitalist-ruled FASCISM.

America is ED and UN ABLE

There is no way to stop the relentless, 45 years now, Capitalist fascist coup d'etat.

it's all about loyalty to the great man, eh?

I always allude to "Pike Bishop" - "The Wild Bunch"...

"When you side with a man, you stay with him! And if you can't do that, you're like some animal, you're finished! We're finished! All of us!"

I thought Bush2 was that man in the circa. Had me fooled. I'd be here around the house cleaning up with the CNN on in the background, and he'd say something that was clearly left of center, way left, and I'd hesitate..."Nah, it's okay, Dale. You heard it wrong."

Turns out that mother er (and his pops/Bush1) had been in bed with the Husseins the whole in' time and he/Bush2 got so pissed off that President Trump made President that he declared out loud his great love for the Husseins. That mother er.

And frankly, Winester, I didn't believe Trump was for real when he went in there! I thought he'd turn left as well, try and hop into bed with the Hussein's. Though they wouldn't have him in there. Instead the INTEL chiefs met him in the situation room at the WH once the SS and the bomb sniffing dogs cleared it after Madonna threatened to blow it up the day Trump moved in there. Oh, Clapper, Brennan, et al were gathered tightly, eatin' grins all around with news that Russia was telling them that Trump had been in Moscow getting pissed on by Russian women! "You can tell him that because that's your job. Your duty. Don't laugh when you lay it on 'em, but smirk just a smidge so he knows (we) nailed his ass day 1. Now go!" A CNN operative was there as well to do ent the moment/he's the source you see.

- "Not a moment's peace. Give this mother er not one moments rest till we can get back to regularly scheduled Presidents. Savvy?"
- Mother er and race hustler extraordinaire Hussein Obama and his swingin' wife, what's her face.

Scholars horrified by Pennsylvania GOP's new 'un-American' bill targeting critical race theory



Republicans in Pennsylvania have published a draft of a bill intended to end the teaching of critical race theory in their state

economist Jeffrey Sachs, who highlighted some particularly egregious passages, such as a clause

banning teachers from telling students that "the United States of America or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is fundamentally racist or sexist,"

while also banning people from speaking at universities if they espouse what the Republicans describe as "racist or sexist" views.

"Not only does it prohibit universities from promoting any of the usual forbidden concepts, it also prohibits them from hosting speakers or assigning readings that do,"

"Lawmakers want to declare certain ideas too dangerous to be taught or discussed on a university campus,"

. "This is un-American."

the bill made a mockery of Republicans' claims to be advocates for free speech.

their preferred version of America certainly entails a lot of good old authoritarianism."

Ron Desantis Signs a Bill That Mandates Cities Keep Using Fossil Fuels

Gov. DeSantis signed a bill that would keep cities from making 100% renewable energy goals.

signed a piece of legislation into law earlier this week that requires Florida cities and towns to keep using fossil fuels and could strangle their ability to set clean energy goals and mandates.

very similar to a slew of other bills that have entered state legislatures over the past year.

These pieces of legislation, which have been dubbed “ban the ban” bills, are sponsored by oil and gas interests.

cities “may not enact or enforce a resolution, ordinance, rule, code, policy, or take any action that restricts or prohibits or has the effect of restricting or prohibiting the types or fuel sources of energy production.”

Washington GOP Nominates Extremist Sheriff For Governor

Loren Culp—a small-town cop

who has never previously run for elective office—handily outpaced a large field to take on in bent Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee

marks the first time the party has selected a bona fide extremist from a faction mostly connected to militias, armed takeovers, and terrorism.

Culp—who first gained notoriety for refusing to enforce a gun-control initiative approved by 60 percent of voters—

not only is a hero to the far-right gun-rights and property-rights crowds,

he is a leading figure in an extremist organization which claims,

among other things, that

county sheriffs, not the Supreme Court, are the arbiters of what's cons utional, and

which has been associated with armed standoffs and defiance of legal authorities, usually under the guise of the "Patriot"/militia movement.

Florida, in a First, Will Fine Social Media Companies That Bar Candidates

Federal judge blocks Florida's social media law
Conservatives had seized on the law as a way to combat perceived censorship by online platforms toward former President Donald Trump following the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.

A federal judge on Wednesday granted a preliminary injunction against Florida's new social media law, which conservatives had seized on as a way to combat perceived censorship by online platforms toward former President Donald Trump following the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.

Set to go into effect Thursday, the law, FL SB 7072, was a top priority of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and would make it easier for the state's election commission to fine social media companies that banned political candidates in the run-up to an election, with penalties ranging from $25,000 to $250,000 a day.

The ruling: District Court Judge Robert Hinkle said that it was likely the plaintiffs — tech industry groups NetChoice and the Computer and Communications Industry Association, which count major platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Google among their members — would prevail in their claim that the law was uncons utional due to the First Amendment. Legal experts had been quick to question the validity of the law when it was signed last month.

"The legislation now at issue was an effort to rein in social-media providers deemed too large and too liberal," Hinkle wrote in his opinion. "Balancing the exchange of ideas among private speakers is not a legitimate governmental interest."

Swift reaction: Both NetChoice and CCIA praised the court's decision, saying that if the law had gone into effect, it would have had significant consequences for what users see on the internet. NetChoice‘s president, Steve DelBianco, said in a statement that the judge's order allowed the platforms to keep their users "safe from the worst content posted by irresponsible users."

CCIA President Matt Schruers said in a statement: “This decision upholding the Cons ution and federal law is encouraging, and reaffirms what we have been saying: Florida’s statute is an extraordinary overreach, designed to penalize private businesses for their perceived lack of deference to the Government’s political ideology. The court’s ruling is a win for internet users and the First Amendment.”

'Inherently un-American mindset':

Sen. Josh Hawley's home state paper has a dire warning about the GOP's path

the publication aimed to stress the importance of preserving the nation's "fundamental principles"; the same principles Republicans are eroding with their partisan policies.

"For all their faults (particularly on matters of race),

America's founders were able to look past the authoritarian systems of monarchy and empire in their time, and

envision a form of government in which the people ruled themselves, via their elected representatives.

Inherent in that radical idea was the expectation that citizens whose preferred candidates failed to win elections would accept the judgment of the cons utional process.

Democracy may well be, as Winston Churchill put it, the worst form of government except for all the others,

but it is the only legitimate form of government, warts and all."

the publication notes that a disturbing number of Republicans are still pushing the big election lie.

"A majority of Republicans still claim to believe the corrosive lie that Joe Biden is an illegitimate president,"

"One poll indicates close to 4 in 10 Republicans consider violence to be an acceptable tool to address perceived failures by the nation's leaders.

Patriots of conscience, regardless of party, should forcefully reject this inherently un-American mindset."


The more lasting danger is the contempt for electoral democracy that the episode has exposed on America's political right.

It was exposed by the 147 Republican members of Congress (led by Missouri's own Sen. Josh Hawley) who,

having just witnessed firsthand the violence that Trump's big vote-fraud lie had visited upon the seat of government,

further promoted that lie, voting to overturn a valid election based on nothing but their supporters' disdain for the outcome.

It was exposed in most congressional Republicans' failure to hold Trump accountable for what was arguably the most impeachable thing any sitting president has ever done.

It was exposed in the GOP's refusal to allow a full investigation of the insurrection, for fear it would reflect badly on their party.

“One out of every two dollars went to the Green New Deal. Totally unacceptable to Republicans.”

Watchdog says insurrectionist lawmakers should be barred from public office — including Trump

a non-profit legal advocacy group on Tuesday cited the 14th Amendment as it demanded Republicans who aided the January 6 insurrection—including former President Donald Trump—be barred from holding public office in the future.

The democracy watchdog Free Speech for People sent letters to the secretaries of state of all 50 states as part of its 14point3 campaign, calling attention to

Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which states:

No Person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State,

who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State,

to support the Cons ution of the United States,

shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.
