Guys - I Know We've Said This Many Times - But This Might Be the Thing That Ends Trump

Yep, non-violent resistance is the way to effect change.

For starters. Things can escalate if not changed in a timely manner.

The alleged "Let them eat cake" escalated into the storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789 because changes weren't made.

The Boston Massacre was on March 5, 1770. The Boston Tea Party December 16, 1773. Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. Because relations with the British Monarchy didn't improve, things escalated.

Ronnie also cheated in elections

What did the Democrats do about it? Tip didn't seem to mind.

 

[evince]

They sued them every time they got caught


That’s why the courts watched the Republican Party by putting them on a court ordered consent decree

It lasted 30 years

They kept getting caught cheating voters out of their rights to vote

Then Roberts got on the court and ended that consent decree by announcing it had been long enough

Then they got to cheating full bore

That was back in the day when they compromised over drinks. They don’t do that, anymore.

If the system is broken, who let it break? This shit didn't happen overnight.

Sadly true. Ever since the Cold War ended, both parties have moved to extremes in an effort to reinvent themselves after 45 years being united against the USSR.

Ooooh the Irony! Ronnie must be rolling over in his grave seeing the GOP turn into Russophiles much less watching them destroy our Republic and shred the Constitution.

It happened when Republicans started cheating voters because they kept losing elections

Why didn't or couldn't the Democrats do anything about it? Were they stupid? Too greedy to notice?

Dutch

They sued them every time

The courts then placed the Republican Party in a court ordered consent decree that included the courts overseeing their election actions

They kept bending and weaving to find new ways and places to cheat voters out of their rights

Then they would get exposed again for other actions and get sued again

THAT IS WHY THEY VOULD NEVER GET OFF THAT VOURT ORDERED DECREE

For fucking decades dude

The Roberts just freed them from the court order giving no logical reason


How many times do you need to be told that information?

It matters

 

[evince]

The National Ballot Security Task Force (BSTF) was founded in 1981 in New Jersey, United States by the Republican National Committee (RNC) to discourage voter turnout among likely Democratic voters in the gubernatorial election.

The group's activities prompted the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to bring a federal lawsuit, alleging a violation of the Voting Rights Act, illegal harassment, and voter intimidation. The RNC and New Jersey Republican State Committee entered into a consent decree in 1982, barring them from engaging in further such conduct.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballot_Security_Task_Force#cite_note-1"><span>[</span>1<span>]</span></a>

Isn't it the job of Congress to fix such loopholes?

The RNC tried to lift the consent decree several times over the next 25 years; these attempts were rejected by the federal courts. In 2009, the US District Court of New Jersey agreed to several modifications of the consent decree, including the addition of an expiration date.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballot_Security_Task_Force#cite_note-2"><span>[</span>2<span>]</span></a>That date was set for December 1, 2017.

Right wing court packing

This Epstein scandal was starting to go away today with the Trump/Epstein birthday card scandal. For those of you who don't know:

Bawdy birthday letter to Epstein bears Trump's name, Wall Street Journal reports

The letter was part of an album collected by Ghislaine Maxwell, the former Epstein associate currently in federal prison. Trump denies writing the letter.

www.msnbc.com

"The album's contents were collected by Ghislaine Maxwell, the former Epstein associate who is currently in federal prison. The letter was "among the documents examined by Justice Department officials who investigated Epstein and Maxwell years ago, according to people who have reviewed the pages."


As for the letter's contents, "it contains several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman," the Journal reports. "A pair of small arcs denotes the woman’s breasts, and the future president’s signature is a squiggly 'Donald' below her waist, mimicking pubic hair."

The letter ends with the signoff: “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”

Republicans are power-hungry vipers. It won't be long - as trump's appeal starts to weaken they're all going to start vying for the top spot. But - for this poll - will this be the thing that ends trump?

Trumppers domt care if the worse were to come about Trump and Epistein.

I can hear it now…

1) He was with that young girl a long time ago.
2) she was begging.
3) she was almost 17, come on.
4) it was anal so it’s not like he took her virginity.

Guess why?

Because the Democrats, who controlled the House until 1955 to 1995 and the Senate from 1987 to 1995, liked the status quo?
