"SNIP................

Politico: “In extraordinary but little-watched court proceedings since Election Day, judges appointed by presidents of both parties have emphasized the need for accountability for the people who stormed the Capitol in an attempt to derail the certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 victory.”

“These judges have sounded dire warnings about the fate of the country if the lessons of the 2020 election go unlearned, and they are bluntly bracing for a turbulent start to the second Trump presidency…”

“The judges’ clarion calls are becoming markedly more frequent and pointed as Trump’s inauguration nears.”

3. Dotard wants to hold Liz Cheney and her compatriots 'accountable'. Actually, hold them to blame.

President elect musk and First Lady dump won. Their cult followers should be thrilled and have no reason to storm anything. And Dems don’t do that shit. So what the hell are they afraid of? 🤷‍♀️

Judges who don't see Elump rolling out the Turd Reich are the problem.

Where were they last year or six months ago. Apparently these judges didn't give a fuck about the country, then, why now?
But as Billy Joel said,"we didn't light the fire" but they fed it.

12. But this is just 'sounding the alarm 4.0'

We sounded the alarm in 2016, in 2020 and in 2024. And two out of three times, Russians, I mean republicans, still chose a adjudicated rapist, felon, cheat, thief, grifter, racist, over the honest 'make your lives better and the country safer' Democrat.

So, them sounding the alarm that our democracy is at stake, has been what we've all been saying for the past 9 years! Enough American-Russians are all too happy for our democracy to end and for the Russian modeled oligarchy to begin. You know, because toe fungus or brown lawns or eggs or whatever the divisive issue the RW is peddling this week that wins over logic and human compassion.
