As are all those who voted for the orange felon. Is Gaetz even a lawyer?

He did work in a private law firm for awhile after college until he ran for Florida state house and then US House.

Nope. I think you've done a damn good job of summing up the dangerous ridiculousness of where we are. WTF.

reform school as a minor after beating a younger and smaller student up, then his
father paid to have a doctor say he had bone spurs to get out of Vietnam, and Elon
Musk got to handle the raw electoral data from our nation’s vote and somehow was
able to suppress and or flip enough votes to rig the election’s outcome to what should
have been an easy win for Kamala Harris.

BTW I can’t watch the news or even MSNBC since the election.

I do because this is home, and DU fulfills more needs than just news.

I thought I was the only one but I found smart and informed people here who were telling
similar stories nationwide and they often posted links to credible sources too.

Trump winning so does not pass my smell test. The idea that Elon Musk was handling the
raw voting data just stinks and that Trump & Vance were doing everything to piss off huge
blocks of voters as Donny was masturbating mic stands and giving blow jobs to microphones
and he still won? Please! I think Harris not only won but won by a comfortable margin too.

Sorry to

Republicans cheat end of story because their ideas are not popular. Btw as a kid in NW PA
our next door neighbor’s brother in a middle class neighborhood was the Governor of PA,
a republican, and the finest man you would ever meet too.

first to support Kerry without having to argue with RWingers, and then, yes, I was watching, too, when they stole Ohio!

I hear you. I see what you see.

your valuables and precious sentimental items and carry them off, and trash the place while they're at it. Only this will go on for four years, or more.

Or did SCOTUS(R) dissolve it?

If America ever recovers and her history is written, Chief Justice Roberts is going to look awfully bad.

You are not wrong.

And I contend that every Republican bears some degree of responsibility for the 2024 debacle, the final nail, perhaps, in the coffin of American Democracy. Some of the guilty have at least tried to get the lifeboats unsnarled and into the water -- I think of only 2 at the moment: Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, at the moment-- but most either actively and eagerly backed Fatso after January 6th, even after initially condemning him on January 7th. Spineless cowards to a man and woman. And I also include everyone who voted for Fatso and for any other Fatso-supporting Senator, Representative, Governor, State legislator, all the way down to the proverbial dog-catcher.

All of them are moral cowards and worse. They all knowingly agreed to surrender America's long cherished freedoms to the depraved, felonious, sexually decadent, fascist, misogynistic, murderous monsters of the MAGA Party. And they did so because, many of them, in their own cold heart-holes, are, depraved monsters themselves.

(Yes, Aunt Bea, I'm looking at you, so don't give me that "Oh, I just didn't know he was such a bad man" bull shit when the show trials and summary executions begin. You knew who he was, you knew what he was, and you loved him for giving voice to your hatred for people, thoughts, and movements that you don't care for.)

So tired of us trying to placate the right, which does fucking nothing

We'll all be glued to our televisions and keyboards, ridiculing and laughing at Trump's insane antics, while his wealthy corporate-fscist backers rape, pillage and plunder what's left of our planet's resources.

I am suspicious of every swing state going to the traitor by very similar counts.
I am suspicious of a trifecta that is based on those counts.

Voter fraud and election fraud are two different things. The near impossibility of the former in modern elections does not preclude the latter.

Project 2025 is now underway.

You pretty much summed it up. What a disaster this will be for America.

Such as salt water working its way up the Mississippi from the Gulf of Mexico because the sea
levels are rising as our use of fossil fuels and the CO2 emissions from the burning of those fuels
heat up the planet (200 yr old proven science) and melt our polar ice caps and glaciers.

And Trump promised those fossil fuel companies if they would give him a billion $s that he
would stop any work on stopping the science and work on climate change.

have the government and politicians they paid for with our tax dollars. Their biggest problem now is controlling the incompetent people they've chosen to run America into the ground. Disaster Capitalism will have a field day in a year or two as everything crashes down. People are concerned about what may happen to the farm industry without the migrant workers who will be deported. Don't worry. The oligarchs have a plan for you. Since you'll be unemployed you can pick the fruit and veggies. Keep in mind, you will need two or three of those jobs to get by with the new tariffs.
The 'Peter Principal' has been stretched beyond recognition. But then, it does require a level of competence to begin with and that's not evident with any of the 'chosen ones'. Trumpo The Inkompetent Klown and his One Ring Sh!tshow Sircuss has taken over.

But that has been apparent for decades by merely comparing its gun violence statistics to those of civilized nations. A sane country would have stopped all that bloodshed long ago.

…. America has a problem with guns?

It has a wealthy special interests problem. Too many legislators are bought by the NRA (morally, it should be zero given all the school shootings in recent years).

Don’t blame the mentally ill for problems that stem from 100% lucid calculation on the part of economic elites.

N/t

Smitten by Musk’s alleged geniusing.

… mentions Musk and manipulation of our vote data as “conspiracy talk.”

... have written plans for everyone to see that happen

It can’t all go to how Biden can save America

America has become a bad fucking joke.
