The party that Newt built has no leadership. It is captive to the whims of whichever mob is loudest — an energy cultivated and stoked by right wing media and ideologue billionaires. No one has been in charge for years.
This is why they almost all play along with this madness.
Perhaps the defining moment of the end of the Republican caucus was when Boehner was like “screw this, I’m outta here, y’all have fun with these Freedom caucus yay-hoos, I’m gonna go swill wine and invest in cannabis” and no one — literally no one — wanted his job. No one.
It’s like being the bus driver of a school bus with no steering wheel or brakes: you’re responsible for the safety of the people in the bus, but you’re not in control of it at all, you can just beg them to sit down and tell them to stop throwing boogers at you & each other
WARNING: Trumpworld — incl
stars Bannon, Flynn’s lawyer, Papadapoulos, Bin Laden’s daughter — are alleging a secret NSA program designed by Obama has been used to “switch 3% of votes”
None of this is real, nor does it make sense. They want Barr/“military intel” to investigate
Of course they are connecting it to the “Russia hoax” and the “Biden laptop from hell” because these f***ing people are the absolute g*****n worst
There is no coup. There is no electronic coup. These people will push an unstable POTUS to do something dangerous in coming weeks.
And hey, let’s make sure we understand this is an attack on the whole system, as they allege Democrats, Republican state legislatures, the intelligence community are all in on the plot/turning a blind eye to the “coup”
Hi America — 2 things you should do this weekend after you be sure you voted:
1- if you have an emergency stockpile, this is a good time to go thru it, donate everything that will expire before the end of the year
2- you need to talk to your family and cancel thanksgiving
/1
On your stockpiles & emergency rations: if you laid in some goods at the beginning of covid, go thru, check expiration dates, consider what you have, stockpile better. Shift to more dry goods — beans lentils peas rice grains etc — which store better, longer, take up less space /2
Donate canned goods and other items to your nearest food bank in time to help families in need before thanksgiving. It’s going to be a rough holiday for a lot of people. Donate food or $$ if you can. Do it early so food banks can gear up before T-day /3
On Monday, DoJ unsealed the indictment of 6 hackers from Russia’s GRU for “worldwide deployment of destructive malware and other disruptive actions in cyberspace.” /2
It connected the dots between a wide array of cyberattacks over the past 5 years, which happened in France, Ukraine, Georgia, South Korea, the US, and the UK.
The indictment made clear that a multi-nation intelligence effort helped attribute these attacks to the GRU /3
