Twitterless Trump trashes Lindsey Graham in late-night email rampage whining that his coup attempt failed

“RINO former President George ‘Dubya’ Bush and his flunky Karl Rove are endorsing warmongering and very low polling, Liz Cheney. Bush is the one who got us into the quicksand of the Middle East and, after spending trillions of dollars and killing nearly a million people, the Middle East was left in worse shape after 21 years than it was when he started his stupidity,” Trump wrote.

Trump’s rage against his own party then turned to his complaints that the media has seen “evidence” of election fraud, even though he went on to say such evidence was not yet public.

“Why is the Fake News Media continuing on their path of saying, ‘baseless and disproven lies,’ concerning the Presidential Election of 2020, no matter how much evidence they see?” Trump wondered, even though his lies of election fraud have been thoroughly debunked.

“I spent virtually no time with Senators Mike Lee of Utah, or Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, talking about the 2020 Presidential Election Scam or, as it is viewed by many, the ‘Crime of the Century.’ Lindsey and Mike should be ashamed of themselves for not putting up the fight necessary to win,” Trump said of his failed coup attempt.

Red States are proof that states are not fit to exist as they are. The Great Experiment is an epic failure.

Russia just had a “democratic” election where Pooty Poot won “cough” the election whilst disallowing most of the potential adversaries to even run!

Drumpf was salivating and wishing why he couldn’t do that!

States controlled by Republican* legislatures are ‘experimenting’ with democracy in their attempts to kill it.

Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and especially overturning elections that Democrats win.

The experiments are supplemented with death threats to election officials in an effort to drive them from their non partisan positions.

.

Republicans* hate democracy.

Death Santis is at it again folks. The seven day average for COVID deaths is the highest it has been since the beginning of the pandemic.

And yet he’s looking for ways to increase those numbers.

… as if Democracy were a food animal to be slaughtered; or a frog specimen pithed in preparation for a series of lab experiments. In this case, for an ongoing political biology class (Poly-Bi). This article is eerily comparable to the present vivisection attempts by some in governments across the country.

Lets see if a minority can overrule the majority by brute force. Just for an experiment…

Not according to the Framers of our Constitution there not!

The states have become laboratories of authoritarianism while Congress has become a laboratory of paralysis.

Yeah, we saw how well that experiment in “state’s rights” worked out in the 1860s.

the system has to be made fairer. DC has been without full representation far too long, the same with Puerto Rico.

the senate is a joke

there is too much money in politics

Was it Colbert or the Daily Show that referred to states such as Texas, Florida, Mississippi, Georgia, and Tennessee as “the meth lab of Democracy”?

Two things about the quotation Stantis is apparently referring to. 1. That was a dissenting, not a majority, opinion. 2. The rest of the quotation involves the experiment in the state not harming the rest of the country. That is definitely not true for bad Covid-19 policies.

Note the disconnect of the stars on the flag.

Not OUR states.

Russia, Hungary, Philippines….

Experiment with democracy, or experiment on democracy?

yep, been to a few
