Attorney General Todd Blanche has declined to pledge DOJ’s independence from the White House and would not rule out similar suits in other states
Donald Trump says he ordered the Department of Justice to sue the state of Alaska in an effort to block the results of a U.S. Senate election from being certified, unless the incumbent Republican wins.
Government attorneys filed a lawsuit Friday arguing that the presence of Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. on the ballot would confuse voters who support the sitting senator, Daniel S. Sullivan, in the unusual matchup of two candidates with the same name up against a Democratic candidate.
“I’m the one that said do it,” Trump told reporters Friday. “They have two Dan Sullivans.”
Trump’s admission of an extraordinary intervention in the nation’s elections follows the president’s threats to overhaul election administration and assert federal control before critical midterm elections with the balance of power in Congress, and fate of his final years in office, at stake.
I would leave too if my wife wasn’t insistent on staying here. Dunno where I’d go, but it seems like it’s about to get bad, and I’m honestly afraid there’s going to be a lot of needless deaths in the near future.
Wherever you go, there you are. Start a garden, learn first aid, get a gun, and most important of all meet your neighbors.
e: oh yeah and if you do make it to paradise maybe avoid talking shit about those of us left behind
OP isn’t talking shit about you. Their comment is nothing but the truth. Dunno why you’re so sensitive about this. We are all stuck in the same boat right now.
…they’re calling everyone still stuck in the US who hasn’t gone out in a blaze of glory a bootlicker from whatever comfy bolthole they’ve been blessed with. Not an option for the vast majority of us, especially those who actually need it. They aren’t stuck in the same boat, they’re very clear (and smug, and self-righteous) about that. It’s exactly what irritated me. Dunno why you felt the need to involve yourself, or what truth you’re finding so resonant
No they’re not? You’re putting words in their mouth and then getting mad at them over something they never said.
As the least confrontational person to say this, can you help me find my way to a better interpretation of that comment? I genuinely cannot see another way to parse it, and I’ve gone back and tried more than once today. Who are “they” that failed to do shit after J6? The only way I can parse it is as a pretty clear statement everyone with a gun who didn’t respond by going out and blowing a maga hat off someone’s head is a “bootlicker” for failing to do so, and they’re pretty obviously speaking from a comfortable remove
The bootlickers are the MAGA dipshits who voted these chucklefucks into office. Reread their comment, and stop reacting to shit people never said.
He’s a one day old account who has to be deliberately misreading the original comment at this point, as multiple people have pointed it out to him and he just keeps doubling down on some gish gallop of sealioning, strawmen, and ad hominems.
I tried engaging with him rationally and then he just turns around and starts projecting and accusing me of all the bad faith shit he’s doing. He’s a fucking troll, here just in time to try to spoil another election. Not even worth the time.
I’m so tired of the internet trolls that only show up around election time. The internet used to be cool!
