Feds inform Trump he is target likely to be indicted

[WillBrink]

Good assessment from Alan Dershowitz. Summary more or less as I said, self inflicted wound by Trump (yet again...) and probably legit, but a totally politically motivated action and not applied to others such as HC:

I'm not waiting in line to cast a vote again until we stop "finding truckloads of ballots" for the other side with no investigation or accountability. We need to play just as dirty. Show up with a million found votes for our side. Be ridiculous. It's all pointless anyway, we will never vote our way out of this mess. At best it's a 4 year bandaid of a neutered president. The system needs to fail or be broken in order to be fixed. Term limits. REAL Anti corruption policies. Without that why bother, control what you can in your 3 foot sphere or influence and let the rest of the world figure out their own shit.

Term limits are just electoral masturbation unless you get rid of the perpetual Staff Mafia on Capitol Hill too. Elected members come and go, but the staffs hired and provided by the Uniparty Machine that pull the members' puppetstrings (or TRY to) are there forever.

No, term limits are just electoral masturbation until and unless half this country pulls it's head of it's ass.....remember that the Pelosi's, Bawney Fwank's, Schumer's, AOC's, Maxine Waters', Hank Johnson's, etc. have all been ELECTED. Their moronic constituencies aren't going away.

That's why I laugh when I hear how the "cabal" is trying to divide us, to drive a wedge. Got new for ya folks, there is a divide in this country. Ignore it at your own peril, but I'm not seeing a national joining of hands and singing kumbaya anytime soon. Better pick a side, 'cause those in the "mushy middle" will get drowned when the waves collide.

The BIGGEST problem with being independent is there still isn't enough to even qualify for government money.

There must be 5% to qualify and in the fifty year history of the libertarian group they have NEVER qualified.
Since there has never been a mere 5% of the total, nobody (including the media) takes them seriously.

The last election the libertarian VP candidate said something to the effect of illegal aliens should be allowed to posses firearms.
Ignorant comments like that is why they stay with such small numbers.

Are Republican candidates any better, usually no, but they get higher numbers and at the end of the day, that is all that matters.

That's because (l)ibertarian ideals are laudable and sensible. The (L)ibertarian Party is bat crap crazy.

Here is what I see;
If we get Trump, Trump will go on a tirade of revenge, as he is justified in doing. I really don't care about his revenge, I just want a functioning Federal government. My fear is Trump will be all about some retribution.
If we get Desantis, we will get a replay of Trumps first two years in office where everyone is out to get him. Desantis will be "swamped".

You're forgetting that nothing short of total open warfare against the swamp cabal will keep them from destroying the next non-Democrat Administration from within. Regardless of whether it's Trump, DeSanits or any of the candidates currently polling at 5%, if they don't nuke the Democrats and 3-5 layers deep in every department and administration of the executive branch on Day One, they'll be completely ****ed.

This is the way. The GOP needs to be analyzing voting maps and mobilizing voter registration drives right NOW. Then they need to do MASSIVE ballot harvesting operations the second early voting opens, precinct by precinct. They also need to be recruiting poll workers to pose as Democrats in Democrat strongholds, so they can sabotage the Dems when they invariably begin the late-night election day shenanigans. Simultaneously, you have to have a phalanx of commenters and PR flaks prepared to deliver the universal message: "There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever of any voter irregularities in GOP led precincts. These baseless allegations have been investigated and debunked as false. Anyone saying otherwise is attempting to suppress voter turnout and undermine our free and fair elections."

This needs to happen because we're in nothing short of a war for the survival of this nation. Sadly, the GOP won't do any of this because at the end of the day, they're still the GOP. There's no defeat they won't snatch from the jaws of victory.

That's exactly how the Dems won the Senate, in the Run off elections in Georgia, a bunch of Republican voters said "I'm pissed about the 2020 election, I'm not voting" and they just handed the senate to the Dems. That's ****ing stupid. We all need to vote. It's easy to do. I don’t care how corrupt you think the system is, just go vote.

90% of the GOP has just been a softer, well-lubricated suppository of corruption for decades now anyway, not making any real attempt to do the things that most of their voters want.

I'm with the preceding couple of posts. The system is totally corrupt on a national level, in multiple ways. Voting harder isn't going to fix anything, and tends to just legitimize the phony and rigged system.

Make plans for NON-kinetic ways of undermining the system, and start working on them. If you need ideas, study the various religious sects that wanted to be left alone (whether for good or bad reasons) and chose nonviolence, whether out of belief or just practicality. As the memes say "become ungovernable." Anticipate the eventual collapse of the system and be ready with an alternative. This is one area where our side actually can win - the left is great at corrupting and demoralizing, but completely useless at managing or governing.

Tuckers on point.
I'm no longer a Republican.

Yeah he is
I've been meaning to switch to (I) and I'm going to start voting that way **** it.

If that's accurate, it was due to their dislike for the orange guy, not due to any interest in Brandon. For most Dems, it was a hold their nose and vote situation, it was for many who voted for Trump due HC. While our system is a "lesser of two evils" system by nature, it's been to the max and extreme in the last few cycles.

I said this many times, I'd like to see the poll where they ask what % of people voted for Trump because he was not HC and what % voted for HC because she was not Trump.

Same for recent Trump/Brandon.

I think the numbers would surprise many.

I don't think those % have ever been that high, at least not in my life time.

According to exit polling Ive seen, reportedly somewhere between 52% and 54% of Independents voted for Biden in 2020. Example: https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/how-groups-voted-2020 They got what they voted for.

In 2016, Bernie Sanders, the self declared socialist, did much better among independents than Hillary in the primaries. In the general, Independents were evenly spilt between Trump and Hillary.

You can assign whatever reasoning to explain why Independents voters vote the way they do. That you say they voted for Biden because they didn't like Trump... well... Biden promised to reverse many Trump policies, and has. They got what they voted for.

So much this. The Right Head of the Two-Headed Bird of Prey's job is to preserve the ILLUSION that we have a say, a Kabuki puppet-show of "managed opposition."

And I suspect a large % of that was due to his not being Trump, similar to why many (most?) Dems voted for Brandon. I did not speak to any independents about that, but the Dems I know all said they didn't like Brandon (nor HC BTW) held their nose and voted for him because he was not Trump.

Do we know what % of independents were Dem vs GOP? It would not surprise me more of them were Dems considered what a total chit show is the Dem party, which would lead to more leaving.
