Liz Cheney. Bigger free swinging Freedom balls and truths spoken than 99 percent of the remaining orange nosed arse tickling imposters currently pretending to be conservative Republicans. Credit where credit is due.

You can count the number of Republicans in the House and Senate who will come out publicly and call bullshit on the stolen election claims on the fingers of one hand. You have to take your hat off to them.

The flip side of this is that the rest of them are too scared or concerned about their careers or whatever to stand up to Trump. And at state level you have the same situation and people like Raffensperger in Georgia who stood up for the obvious truth are going to be replaced with Trump people.

This means that if we get a Biden versus Trump rematch in 2024 and Biden wins but it's fairly close in enough states to flip it that we're in big trouble. Trump will claim he was robbed. The House and Senate will almost certainly be GOP controlled by then and they won't have the balls to stand up to the bullshit. Between state officials finding ways to throw the election to Trump and the fuckers in Washington being too scared to do anything about it we have a significant chance of the end of democratic with a small d government in America starting in January 2025.



This is actually the most likely scenario I can think of, that's the awful part. This is the percentage bet here. If both of them make it to 2024 there'll be the rematch. It's hard to knock over an incumbent prez unless there's something really wrong and things will probably be ticking along nicely. Biden will win but in some battleground states the margins will be close enough that it'll be easy for a bunch of yes men to overturn the result one way or another. Almost none of the House or Senate Republicans will say a word, they'll happily go along with it in most cases.


This is not a great situation. Vladimir Putin as an ex KGB man who is now running a KGB ruling regime must wake up every day in disbelief that he actually managed to help bring this about. It's beyond the wildest dreams of any of the cold war era KGB chiefs that they could actually fuck things up in America to this extent.
