To be clear: Boebert has been relatively chill about the investigation, putting out a public statement that she trusts the prosecutor to conduct it fairly and impartially.
I don’t wanna see people going “LAUREN BOEBERT SOMETHING SOMETHING, CONSPIRACY!”
Lauren Boebert is a shitty human being, and is a big part of the anti-democracy alliance that is… you know… almost the entire Republican Party these days.
Her former campaign manager is simpatico with that, as you would expect, and is running a large Stop the Steal campaign.
But Boebert herself is not, as far as we know, directly involved in this particular Stop the Steal thing.
TL;DR: I don’t wanna see people saying Lauren is doing this stuff *herself* bc that’s not true, and telling the truth is pretty gd important. Don’t disappoint me, nerds.😡

It would be easy -- and wrong -- to point and laugh at this post from a Trumpist attorney.
The truth, however, is VERY unfunny: as these people accept that the system -- as currently constituted -- simply won't give them the hangings they want, they will search for alternatives.
One alternative is to just go out there and kill your enemies your own damn self. This is rarely done, because the cost to the doer is *ruinous.*
Another is to change the system so that it WILL give you those sweet, sweet judicial murders.
This is the one I'm most worried about
I *am* glad to see any of this energy diverted into things like "LET'S BUILD OUR OWN ALTERNATIVE JUSTICE SYSTEM," bc it's basically a LARP.
Now, they /are/ still trying to LARP it into reality, so you could see it as political theater aimed at building a more fascist system...
I really cannot stress enough how bad the Hal Turner thing is.
Flynn was the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency before he became the Nat'l Security Adviser.
For him to be like "ah yes, this man who blames the Jews for everything? RELIABLE SOURCE!" is *pretty alarming.*
N.B. It is possible, of course, that the texts aren't legit. There's a hard cap on how reliable a source Lin Wood is, and the cap goes down quite a bit when he's talking about someone with whom he's enmeshed in a blood feud.
Which is almost everyone he's ever met, at this point.
IF TRUMP LOSES, THEY'RE GOING TO SCREAM "FRAUD" AND REFUSE TO CERTIFY DEMOCRATIC ELECTORS IN ANY SWING STATE THEY CONTROL, REGARDLESS OF THE ACTUAL VOTE TALLIES.
This is why they're purging everyone who stood up to the Big Lie.
And yet... I literally have not heard a single nationally prominent Democrat *talk* about it. Not once.
Now, do I spend all my time listening to them? No, I do not. I spend my time monitoring the people who are *eagerly awaiting* the 2024 events I just mentioned.
So maybe the policymakers ARE talking about this in public and I'm just unaware of it. If so, please let me know.
But if I'm right and they're NOT discussing it, *why the fuck not?* People need to know what's up. Warning them in advance is very effective.
During the early days of QAnon, a lot of anons got all hot and bothered at the news that a Saudi prince named Al Waleed bin Talal had been detained by the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia.
Surely this was the first gust of the Storm.
How's he doing today? Let's tour his megayacht!
This is the New Kingdom 5KR -- "New" because he recently bought it as a replacement for his OTHER megayacht, which was just called the Kingdom 5KR.
BTW, he didn't sell the old megayacht to fund this. He just reached into his spare-megayacht-change jar & used what he found.
Fun fact: the original megayacht, the Kingdom 5KR, was owned by Donald Trump before the Saudi prince picked it up.
Trump sold it during one of his bankruptcies; the prince picked it up.
The ongoing dispute between Lin Wood and Michael Flynn, Sidney Powell, et al, boils down to this:
When Rittenhouse went on Tucker Carlson's show and called Wood out for fundraising off him instead of helping him, Wood recognized that (correctly) as a HUGE reputational threat.
For all that anons *talk* about avoiding the MSM and not trusting Fox, etc etc, the truth is they're blown along by the winds of right-wing media.
Always have been, always will be. That was true even *before* Q ambled off into the sunset.
And we could probably stand to talk about that more! I think almost every analyst *knows* it but almost no one really puts it in the center of their analysis.
ANYWAY... Wood, seeing this threat, demanded that Flynn and Powell come to his defense with public support. They didn't.
HEY, YOU KNOW HOW EVERYONE WHO SPENDS ANY AMOUNT OF TIME IN CONSERVATIVE SPACES IS *SCREAMING* AT DEMOCRATS TO PUBLICIZE THE FUCKING THREAT TO DEMOCRACY, AND MAKE IT A CENTRAL POINT OF THEIR MESSAGING?
AND WHEN THE REPUBLICANS SIMPLY REFUSE TO CERTIFY THE NEXT DEMOCRATIC VICTORY, IT’S GONNA BE A LOT HARDER TO RESIST IN THE STREETS IF VOTERS ARE STUNNED THAT IT HAPPENED.
BY THE WAY, DO YOU THINK IT’S AN ELECTORAL ADVANTAGE FOR REPUBLICANS THAT THEIR VOTERS ARE CONSTANTLY CONVINCED A COMMUNIST TAKEOVER IS IMMINENT AND ONLY VOTING FOR REPUBLICANS CAN STOP IT???
I fucking do! It’s a pile of ridiculous lies but an EFFECTIVE pile of lies.
