Fuck. That. What, better to place our government on the chopping block yourself than let Trump do it? Fight you feckless wimp. Fight. They're selling the government out from under you. Your job won't have any power next year. Fight. There won't be anything left to shut down in 18 months. Fight.

Trump’s efforts to gut the federal workforce should be understood as part of the broader Republican project to make public services shitty so people will hate and resent the government. For other examples, see most red states. Republicans do not want a government that actually works for people.

Something I’ve stressed in talks and interviews since the election is that we will not have restored the peaceful transfer of power in the U.S. until a Republican president willingly hands power to a Democratic president.

I firmly believe they conducted an investigation, wrote an ethics report, and released it, not because he was into debauchery and crimes...but because he was into them AND not popular. When the rest of them do horrible shit, their relationships and their party protect them. Ask MTG...

Why wouldn't it be great? He's winning in every sense of the word. His grifting has made him wealthier than ever, he won't see significant consequences for his many crimes, and he still has the adoration of millions of people despite being horrible. How have these few years changed his life at all?

How do we determine if it's a mandate or just a victory? Is there a metric we can look at, and or does every single winning politician claim a mandate from voters? Isn't... winning the mandate? Say he doesn't have a mandate... does that mean Dems control Congress? This is pathetic. He won. Stop.

Fuck that. It's their government. They wanted it, they got it, let them run it their way even if that's into the ground. Being the adults in the room got us nothing but a Putin puppet President, Christian-nationalist Fascist Speaker, and their man-baby billionaire pulling the strings.

If Biden pardons Trump then that party deserved their loss, and this country truly is lost. That would mean that even the party making lip service about law and order didn't really mean it. It would mean we really only have one party. I hope we still care enough to riot behind that pardon.

GOP Grabs Control of North Carolina Election Boards, Rushing to Negate November Losses

In their final weeks before they lose the ability to pass laws, Republican lawmakers gutted the powers of incoming Democratic officials and upended who runs elections.

North Carolina Republicans just took the final vote on this massive power-grab, muscling it through the House over the governor's veto. That's the ballgame. A HUGE change in how the state government operates, giving Republicans much, much more power. andersonalerts.substack.com/p/sb-382-fin...

Prevents Gov.-elect Josh Stein from appointing members onto the State Board of Elections by transferring that authority over to Republican Auditor-elect Dave Boliek.

Makes the State Highway Patrol an independent agency and requires Stein to get the General Assembly’s approval for a five-year appointment

If a Supreme Court or Court Appeals vacancy emerges, Stein must fill it from a list of recommendations provided by the political party of the departing judge, thus preventing him from filling a potential GOP vacancy with a Democrat.

Removes the seats of Wake County Superior Court Judge Bryan Collins and Forsyth County Superior Court Judge Todd Burke. Collins and Burke have ruled against election law changes that GOP lawmakers have put forward over the years.

Prohibits Attorney General-elect Jeff Jackson from participating in lawsuits that undercut actions taken by the General Assembly. The bill says Jackson “shall not, as a party, amicus, or any other participant in an action pending before a state or federal court in another state, advance any argument that would result in the invalidation of any statute enacted by the General Assembly.”

Prevents Lt. Gov.-elect Rachel Hunt from chairing committees on energy issues. The bill also eliminates the Energy Policy Council, which has been chaired by the lieutenant governor.

Prevents Democratic Superintendent of Public Instruction-elect Mo Green from appealing decisions made by the Charter Schools Review Board.

Reduces the timeframe voters can “cure” their provisional ballots from nine days to three days. Provisionals tend to favor Democratic candidates and proved essential to Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs’ efforts to overtake the lead of Republican Court of Appeals Judge Jefferson Griffin.
