Open Thread | Special Counsel Jack Smith Brings The Third Indictment Against Donald Trump

Indictment #3 came this afternoon!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

About the 1/6 Attempted Coup.

My rage about 1/6 never goes away.
For whatever issues America has, and it has plenty, the creed is what I am faithful to.
And, the radical, yes, revolutionary idea of

Peaceful Transition Of Power

Is fundamental to who we are as a country.
And, yes, I am completely offended, as a patriot, to not only the individual who thought he was above it.
But, the political party that enables him.
All the while trying to wrap themselves in the flag.

    @MattBoxer94:
    No wonder your candidacy for president facepalmed. Also don’t forget that Biden saved Obama’s ass multiple times because of his relationship to McConnell.
    https://twitter.com/MattBoxer94/status/1489570875384938497?s

    @surrealnth:
    When did that happen? We all witnessed 8 years of intransigence/obstruction from McConnell & co. Give just one example of these “multiple times” Biden’s “relationship with McConnell” in any way made a difference. McConnell’s unyielding antics played out in full view for 8 years.
    https://twitter.com/surrealnth/status/1490360106898186244?s

    @surrealnth:
    Bullsh*t. This gaslighting/revisionism some of you Dems have embarked on will be the undoing of the Party. Keep at it & there’ll be no “coalition” left. Funny how Obama’s to blame for all McConnell obstructed in 8yrs, but Biden is somehow to be credited for stuff Obama got done.

    @dhaaruni:
    The GOP doesn’t even have to BE a decent, center-right party, they just have to act like it lmfao. 20% of Ohio Democrats voted for Mike DeWine and there were hundreds of thousands of Kemp-Warnock voters despite Kemp and DeWine signing 6-week abortion bans!
    https://twitter.com/dhaaruni/status/1675984291543539722?s

    @dhaaruni:
    it’s a giant “IF” but yeah. I think both Republicans and Democrats have coalition struggles but the Democratic coalition is definitely more fragile simply because it’s got more groups within it.

    @JakeMcMillian:
    The key to winning elections is creating coalitions. Bernie couldn’t do that because his base was full of loud, unhinged online assholes. And normie Dems were rightly like “nah fuck that.”
    Wild that KHive is like “yeah let’s do the same exact thing.”
    https://twitter.com/JakeMcMillian/status/1686927538428186625?s

    @surrealnth:
    Khive has wielded/exploited BW & the bogus “base of the party” bs entirely for benefit of weak/flailing khive mixedrace fave – even as khive actively hobbled actual Black women Rice/Bass in 2020. Many see through the bs. Khive don’t speak for black people & their fave isn’t it.

    @surrealnth‪ Replying to @michele5411:‬
    You erroneously conflate astroturf khive w’ actual Black voters. You can’t force support for your lackluster counterfeit by threatening loss for Dems if your flailing fave isn’t picked. That’s as comical as other Dem factions threatening to stay home if their faves aren’t picked.

      “The key to winning elections is creating coalitions. Bernie couldn’t do that because his base was full of loud, unhinged online assholes.”

      Bernie was at a disadvantage because MSM ignored him. He had a great populist message and thousands of people were attending his rallies. But MSM was following Trump around, giving him all that free press that helped him win. The Democratic elites were ramming Hillary down our throats. Bernie did extremely well despite the obstacles.

      Apparently I am an unhinged asshole. I still like Bernie and I wish he were 30 years younger.

    @mousdrvr:
    Our groceries are up over 30%, some have tripled in price. There’re far more people living out of cars in my neighborhood and rents are astronomical. According to Will Stancil I “have q anon levels of self-deception and self-indulgence” for noticing.

    @Lulucaliente:
    I wouldn’t entirely discount polls. We have a lot of work to do. The Democratic coalition is always a fragile one, and while national polls dont matter, only the battleground states, we have to assume we are the underdogs and fight like we are.

    @CaseysCougar Replying to @gggirl924
    I think Biden’s age, high prices and the uncertainty about the Hunter controversy has unfortunately made it an even playing field. Because MAGA still hasn’t budged. Don’t know which way the average american that doesn’t follow the news will go.

    @MrFlickRocks:
    Here is my take: I think only political junkies like us answer right now. Most people are just biding their time to see who the eventual Republic nominee is, and are distracted by more important things…like their own lives. Once it’s a 2-man race polls might have more traction.

    It’s too early in the cycle for meaningful polling data. HOWEVER, we cannot be complacent about Joe’s reelection being a done deal. Young people, independents, progressives, etc., are not as enthused as in 2020. If a 3rd party nominee is involved, they could leach votes from Joe.

    “… Text messages obtained by Talking Points Memo — most which have not previously been made public until now — paint a picture of what was going on behind the scenes in the White House during the crucial period the special prosecutor has zeroed in on. In particular, they reveal that Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel and former Arizona Republican Party Chairwoman Kelli Ward were among those who played key roles in elements of the alleged conspiracy from the moment Smith said it began.”
