An article I wrote in April 2018 about how Trump would use the pardon power as a lure for his crime cult to be protected. Then he did it, repeatedly, and is threatening to do it again.
The people who plotted the Capitol attack were the people he pardoned before it:
Same mafia state playbook, again and again. I wrote a book about the playbook three years ago and nothing changed.

Compiling @gaslitnation threads on mafia state enabler Merrick Garland:

TV pundits called this first thread "brutal and controversial." It is simply a list of things he's done at Biden's DOJ.
Second thread, on Garland's corrupt mentor Jamie Gorelick:
Third thread, debunking the propaganda apparatus that rewrote Garland's career, in particular his time at the Clinton DOJ:

"We need an overarching democracy strategy from the top to the bottom. At the top is preventing the people who tried to overthrow the election from ever doing it again. But I don't see urgency from Dems to prevent this from happening." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/insurrec…
"I'm very worried that even though the 2020 coup failed, all the steps are being put in place for another coup to succeed in 2022 or 2024." -- @AriBerman on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/insurrec…
"What happens in 2022 will determine whether there will even be a fair election in 2024. Because if all these insurrectionists take over county election boards and secretary of state races, it will be nearly impossible to have a fair election." patreon.com/posts/insurrec…

"What we need is a mass mobilization for democracy at the state and local level. In 2020, a lot of Democrats volunteered and then went back to their lives -- and insurrectionists filled the void." -- Ari Berman on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/insurrec…
"Every day, Steve Bannon is recruiting people to be poll workers, election judges, to sit on county certification commissions. The people who attended the 1/6 insurrection could be the ones counting the votes in 2022." patreon.com/posts/insurrec…
"The scariest part of the new voter suppression process is where, even if you overcome the barriers of the ballot box, in some states your vote can be thrown out by partisan actors." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/insurrec…

"The Democrats' view was 'Let's handle everything internally; let's not apply public pressure, or we might lose Manchin and Sinema on Build Back Better.' In the end, they lost them on BBB *and* voting rights anyway." -- Ari Berman on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/insurrec…
"Biden should have been out there much earlier talking about the threats that voters face and how to overcome them, talking about not only the Republicans but the Democrats who stand in the way of voting rights." -- Ari Berman on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/insurrec…
"Voting rights activists liked what Biden said in Georgia, but they wanted him to say it *much* earlier and make it a priority of the administration. Biden has given only two speeches about voting rights since entering office."

"Sinema switched parties all but in name in 2014 after receiving money from the Koch-backed Chamber of Commerce, which gave her a leadership award in 2020. Their investment in her has been paying off." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/karen-of…
"As Senate Karen gave her backstabbing speech against voting rights right before MLK Day, she wore a cross, even though she is not religious. This is another symbolic gesture, much like the 'Fuck Off' ring she wore previously." -- @AndreaChalupa patreon.com/posts/karen-of…
"Sinema is trying to position herself as a 'maverick' in the style of fellow Arizona Senator John McCain. She may be trying to gain ground as a Koch-backed 'independent' VP candidate alongside a Posh Trump." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/karen-of…

"American legal 'experts' need a crash course in how the court system works in authoritarian kleptocracies instead of assuming that the norms and protocols of the US system are sufficient to face our current threat." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/karen-of…
"The US is increasingly a mafia state. There were always elements of that, always plutocracy, dark money, etc. But the rule of law was decimated under the Trump admin, with mafia tactics -- bribery, blackmail, threats of violence to public officials -- becoming commonplace."
"Look at the protests in Kazakhstan. The protesters' complaints were about decades of entrenched corruption, kleptocracy, mafia state rule, and a justice system bereft of integrity. That is where the US is headed unless people get a grip on reality and fight back."
