Thomas More Dead Women Society: More Election Denial! More Religious Zealotry! More Subjugation!

More! More! More!
How do you like it? How do you like it?
More, more, more
How do you like it? How do you like it?
More, more, more
How do you like it? How do you like it?
I mentioned the sophomorically named Thomas More Society in July, when former Illinois State Rep Peter Breen was giggling at the prospect of arguing before the Sinister Supreme Court that pregnant women should be detained and stopped from interstate travel because they may engage in the soon-to-be unlawful activity of abortion.  

Before the monstrous Dobbs decision, Breen and the Thomas More Slavery Society brought lawsuits in Sangamon County (Their headquarters is in Chicago but, you know these religious freaks don't want to bring a case up before Cook County Judges) that Illinois Abortion Coverage Mandate somehow violates their "sincere" religious beliefs.  Breen of course, cited the almost as monstrous 2014 Hobby Lobby Court decision which allowed business owners to determine what employees can or can not do with their personal medical care.  Peter Breen is a grotesque but, he's far from the only one at this rightwing club of scoundrels as they've brought lawsuits in numerous states using the false piety and religious liberty to restrict the rights of others.

To wit: As the 2022 Elections conclude, the Thomas More Society is gearing up to overthrow the results of elections because Republicans are no longer certain their techniques for suppressing voter turnout and disenfranchisement provide them with enough "wins" so like all Authoritarians they've moved to "legally" challenging and overturning results.
"If there is a close election, it’s going to be up to us to fix it,” said Erick Kaardal, a lawyer with the Thomas More Society, a conservative legal group in Chicago, during an Oct. 27 Zoom attended by more than 50 people. “We’re the team that’s going to have to fix an election in Michigan, if it’s rigged.”
And how will we know if "it's rigged"?  Why if the Republican supposedly lost, it's rigged!  And how do we "fix it"?  Why simply declare the Republicans the winners!

The Thomas More Dead Women and More Slavery society started in 1998, when these types of groups got their footing on the coattails of Racist Limbaugh's powerful rightwing agitprop radio program, Newt Gingrich's Contract on America, and the birth of Faux News.  Since, then these groups have worked the Long Game, slowly eroding laws and codifying religious liberty arguments into US and State Law.  It's an insidious way to overthrow the US Government, and one which was working piece by piece, the kind of methodology preferred by long-time institutionalists like Mich McConnell and John Roberts. 

I hope you've already voted by the time you read this but if you haven't, go vote and take friends and family, because we're quickly moving to the the second stage of a pre-fascist Government in which election losses are overturned via court injunctions and bureaucratic legerdemain.  Thus, the fascists can point to "free & fair" elections as they move to the next step of permanently ensconcing themselves into Office, while retaining the facade of a democratic Republic.  

But, regardless of the outcome of the 2022 Elections understand the Rightwing isn't going to stop.  They've got their bloodlust up, they've got the 6 Unjustices on the Supreme Court, they've got their gerrymandered State Legislatures and they've got their sights set upon claiming the Whole Thing in 2024. So as I've written before get ready.  Get ready to fight for your lives, literally.  Because Rightwingers are coming for them.

Time to Choose: Democracy or Slavery

"Republicans will never lose another election in Wisconsin after I'm elected governor," Billionaire Religious Bigot Dictator Wannabe Tim Michels, who is running to be Governor of Wisconsin.

All across the Nation, Republicans are broadcasting their Authoritarian intentions, with the prime goal of establishing permanent oppressive, intolerant Republican Rule.  The Corporate Media won't say anything about this; except to run their standard storylines of BothSidesDoIt and Democrats in Disarray.  It's up to Us too slow, stop, and reverse the Vile and Murderous Actions of the Crypto-Fascist Republican Party.

And yes there are structural rules and undemocratic traditions deeply embedded in the Nation which makes this a heavy lift, besides the perfidious back-stabbing of the likes of Kyrsten Sinema. 

And realize before you claim it's hyperbole or that's just what everyone says about the current election; understand that Republicans in numerous States, in the Federal Government, and all the way up to the Supreme Court have already begun to restrict rights, impose oppressive burdens, ensconce undemocratic methods, and are resolved to go further and further and further.

They've already begun with Abortion, which, if the GQP wins majorities, will quickly be made unlawful across the country.  Along with a host of other medical procedures because the GQP are coming for Contraception.  Bodily Autonomy. Same-Sex Marriage.  Social Security.  Medicare.  Your very Right to Vote at all.

Everything is on line.

And yes when the Republicans underperform tomorrow November 8, 2022, they will scream and shout and cry Fraud, lie about their Stolen "Victories", and incite their Rightwing Domestic Terrorists to further actions which make Jan 6th seem like a picnic on the Capitol grounds because that's what Rightwing political thought is these days violence and lies.

So go and vote while you still can but, also get ready to fight for your very lives afterwards because Republicans and Rightwingers are coming for them.

Election Denalism in 2022 will be the first domino to fall in the Republican plan to topple America democracy

Jim Oberweis attends the 2021 
Freshman Congressman Orientation
Oberweis lost to Rep Lauren Underwood

"If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal," Et Voila  the 2022 Republican Multi-State Platform making it harder to vote.

Republicans have known for a long time when more people vote they lose.  So, Republicans decided long ago less people deserve to vote.  Here in Illinois, Downstate Republican racist Mike Bost is suing in Federal Court to challenge the 2015 Illinois vote-by-mail law, which allows for ballots received 14 days after Election Day to be counted if they are post-marked on or before the final day of voting.  Ballots lacking a postmark can still be counted if the voter dated and signed the ballot before Election Day.

Why do you think the Republican Party seeks to destroy the US Postal Service?  And hey sure Mike Bost of Illinois' lawsuit would disenfranchise military members serving overseas but, then Republicans have always treated the military as disposable RISK tokens to be used and abused in the eternal rightwing quest for power.

In Nevada this summer, Cowboys for Trump Couy Griffin pressured officials in Otero CountyCowboys for Trump Couy Griffin pressured officials in Otero County, to eliminate election ballot boxes and voting machines alleging this could be used for Fraud.  The use of ballot boxes and voting machines is prescribed by Nevada State Law.  But, voting laws don't matter to Republicans because know the more people who vote the more they lose.  These are just two examples but they all stem from the same rotten well-spring.

As I watched election night 2020 and President Biden's election victory became clear, I waited up to hear MSNBC or CNN or even FTFNYT call the election yet... they did not... Even after Faux News called Arizona for President Biden, and it was an absolute certainty and in Kellyanne Conway's words a "Landslide." "Blowout." "Historic.", the Corporate Media dithered.  For days.  Into that void, Trump and his cadre of Rightwing villains and criminals crafted the Big Lie, the one lie to rule them all. 

“What is the downside for humoring him for this little bit of time? No one seriously thinks the results will change,” the official said. “He went golfing this weekend. It’s not like he’s plotting how to prevent Joe Biden from taking power on Jan. 20. He’s tweeting about filing some lawsuits, those lawsuits will fail, then he’ll tweet some more about how the election was stolen, and then he’ll leave.” Of course, it was easy to see Violence coming after Trump's decisive defeat in 2020.  We had rightwing violence throughout 2020.  Then the Clown Car Coup d'etat attempt of January 6th.  Now more Violence to Follow

I guarantee you that by the end of the decade January 6th will be Second Independence Day.

All across the Country, Republicans are running on a platform of The Big Lie.  But, worse than that Republicans are implying and sometimes explicitly saying they will not abide by elections and will regard their defeats as ipso facto Fraudulent. 

Now, election denialists are rampant throughout the Republican Party; many are running for high level office.  Common wisdom is Republicans, being the party out of power during a mid-term election will take over Congress.  So, as the election results roll-in and the results are more favorable to the Democrats than thought what will the Republicans do?  Why they will deny they lost and declare themselves the Real Victors.  So... what's going to happen when these Republican losers descend upon Washington DC and declare themselves the Real Congressmen?  What is going to happen when Republicans demand an injunction declaring votes are causing irreparable harm to them?  What happens when Republicans openly declare that only they are Legitimate Government?  

Well, the Corporate Media is fascism curious so don't expect them to help.  And The Unconstitutional Sheriff's of America are yearning to insert themselves into election, seize Voting Machines, arrest "suspicious" voters, and exert their absolute power in their respective counties to declare who is the rightful member of Congress.  And rightwingers across America are waiting for Fvcker Carlson to declare Democratic victories in Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin illegitimate so they can emulate the Kidnapping plots of Governor Wittmer or the assassination attempts of Speaker Nancy Pelosi.  Fvcker Carlson has already preemptively declared Kari Lake's defeat in Arizona and Mehmet Oz's defeat in Pennsylvania fraudulent.

So... what can we expect?  Well, there is still time to vote before Tuesday, November 8th.  Please do so.  It should be obvious Republicans will spend their time seeking ways to limit voting, to restrict access to voting facilities, to undermining peoples franchise.  Republicans have no intention of governing.  And they haven't for a long time.  Besides disenfranchising American voters, Republicans other goals are to destroy public education, oppress minority groups, outlaw the existence of Trans persons, and led by Committee Chairwoman Major Traitor Greene investigate any corporation who stopped donating money to Republicans after Second Independence Day while eliminating all regulations and restraints on the rapacious capitalist corporations who toe-the-lie and aid the Republicans in their agenda of oppression and intolerance.  

More Violence to Come.

So vote like your life depends upon it... and then Get Ready to fight for your lives...because Republicans and Rightwingers are coming for them.

The inestimable Rachel Maddow dissects the MAGA Republicans worldview on Election Denial as a core tenet of the new Trumpublican Platform.

Get Ready America. Get Ready to fight for your lives. Because Republicans and Rightwingers are coming for them.

First off, you've got to vote by Tuesday November 8th to keep every Republican out of power that you can.  Because Republicans and Rightwingers are coming for you.  

Everywhere we look Republicans are sharpening their Long Knives as they come to gut Democracy.  I really expect a Republican controlled Congress to draft and pass ridiculous bills declaring January 6 2021 as Second Independence Day and a Rectifying the Stolen 2020 Election bill which will declare President Trump is the rightful President in 2023, but since Brandon won't abide by The Law and immediately abdicate Trump will automatically be declared President in November 2024 and to remedy his stolen 4 years in Office, be declared President for Life.

Arizona GQP tryouts for the 2025 Trumpstazi Death Squads
But, certainly while the GQP is vile and deplorable they are not stupid, they will keep a Democratic form with out the functions.  Much like elections in Saddam's Iraq you'll be able to turn in a ballot under the watchful eye of paramilitary white rightwing gunmen (currently being beta-tested in Arizona). 

But, we see glimpses of the ultimate end state, as when Faux News staged a mock trial of Hunter Biden for their audience of drones.  Throughout history, such "Show Trials" are part and parcel of Fascist Regimes.  

It's why rightwingers Bro Rogan, Tool Si Gabbard, Ben SShaprio, Dinesh D'Scumbag, Sean Insanity, and Fvcker Carlson lie about everything from cat litter boxes for children in schools, to the over one million Americans who died from Covid, to the 2020 Presidential Election itself.  They are getting their brainwashed conservative drones ready to accept and commit atrocities.  And, let's be clear, a vast swathe of Rightwingers in America are never coming back to reality, their reality is what they want it to be and this panel of Pittsburgh MAGA Republicans makes it clear they believe all the lies told to them by rightwing propagandists. 

Republicans are crafting so much propaganda it's overwhelming.  You have Sam di Puzzi Alito telling Heritage Foundation that he was the victim and just lying about conservative SCOTUS justices facing death threats and being betrayed by the Dobbs decision leak.  You have Major Traitor Greene claiming democrats are already killing republicans.  As Herschel Walker illustrates rightwingers don't believe anything they say, and don't have any standards, morals, ethics, or values; they care only for power so, what will Republicans do when they have that power?

Get Ready, America.  Everyone is rightly alarmed over The Federalist Manifesto which overtly calls for adoption of Fascism in America and the blunt application of force by a Government controlled by conservatives.  Republican rhetoric has been eliminationist for quite awhile now but, with far-right agitators and elected Republicans pushing so many lies about President Biden's Tyranny, out of control crime (only in Democrat controlled cities mind you), The GREAT REPLACEMENT of White Real Americans with Illegals, and about out of control leftist violence (especially and even after many of those events were proven to be the work of rightwing agitators) that rightwing preemptive "self-defense" is going to be the go to...

Republicans know crime in New York City is higher than in Rural rightwing Oklahoma, no matter what facts say.  Republicans know 100,000,000 illegal immigrants flooded America in the Presidency of Obama and Brandon because they think tanks tell them so.  Republicans know gun crime only happens in Chicago (black black blackity black black black black) despite the Most Draconian Gun Laws in history.  Republicans know the peaceful and legitimate Jan 6th protesters are being held as political prisoners by Mao Tse Brandon while BLM and Antifa burned down Democrat controlled cities at the behest of the Democrats because Steve Bannon told them so, "Did you happen to see June 2020 when they burned down Chicago and they burned down Seattle and they burned down Portland, burned down New York City?"

This is all to set up the Casus Belli rightwingers need to engage in vigilante "justice" but, what Republicans really want is control of the apparatus of the state.  With the power of the Federal Government and multiple state governments Republicans will make their pogroms against LGBTQ, minorities, teachers, and anyone who identifies as non-MAGA "legal".

Republicans have in store multiple avenues of attack which they will launch upon the American people.  They've already started.  Bodily Autonomy is already a thing of the past for women, constitutional rights like freedom of movement will be curtailed by the rightwing's claim of protecting the life of the child.  Trans persons will be made prima facia illegal.  And with a reversal of Lawerence v. Texas, expect LGBTQ persons to be arrested on sight sans a warrant.  

Slowly strangling social security and the safety net increasing morality amongst the majority of the us population.  Restricting women's healthcare options under the guise of Pro-Life bullshit will increase deaths among women.  Shackling Millenianls into 80 hr-a-week minimum wage jobs with no benefits to teach them the value of work.  Doing away with debt relief is a pro forma position of Republicans.  But, these are slow moving ways of killing off people whom Republicans deem undesirable.  Republicans are really seeking a Commitment to a Final Solution.  

Because here is the evil dark truth, which almost no one wants to acknowledge; what Republicans and Rightwingers really want is to establish government funded and run concentration camps and paramilitary death squads.

There are legions of rightwing propagandists gearing their drones up to become violent.  Charlie Kirk, Tim Poole, Ben Shapiro, Candeath Ovens, and so many others tell their listeners lies all day, everyday about drag queens, Wokeism, CRT, Antifa, President Biden because they want to be able to claim self-defense for the massive wave of violence Republicans and Rightwingers yearn to unleash on America, at least at first.  After a few years of killing and with complete control of the Federal Government then the official DeSantis helicopter rides, the Truckers for Trump cattle cars filled with liberals, and the Gitmo modeled death camps will be up and running.

So... vote while you still can but, Get Ready.  Corporate Media is not going to call this out for what it is until it's far too late.  Republicans and Rightwingers see an opportunity to create their cherished perfect Union of Fascism, Slavery, Bigotry, Fundamentalism, using 21st century Technology to create a Their Neo-Confederate Republic of oppression, bigotry, and intolerance.  They are coming for your sons and daughters.  They are coming for your dreams and aspirations.  Republicans and Rightwingers are coming for your very lives.

Mehmet Oz is asking you to Elect a local Republican so they can sneak a peek at your wife's Vagina. Maybe your Mother's too

Crooked Ted Cruz just sat up a little straighter because Mehmet OZ just outlaid the Republican position on women's bodies.

During the debate with Pennsylvania Lt Gov John Fetterman, New Jersey carpetbagger Mehmet OZ declared abortion is a decision between a woman, her doctor, and local political leaders,

“I want women, doctors, local political leaders, letting the democracy that’s always allowed our nation to thrive, putting the best ideas forward so states can decide for themselves.”

What a ridiculous clueless mish-mash of nonsense from the inept, clueless OZ.  But, OZ couldn't answer that abortion should be left between a woman and her doctor because that is not the Republican position.  The Republican position is Republican men and a few hand-picked token women (Amy Covid Barrett) have the final say on what women can and can not do in America.

But, to be fair to Creepy Cancun Cruz, OZ did exclude the Federal Government in this fucking bullshit about "States".  Just as when MAGA Republicans circulated the meme of the United States counties which "Voted" for Trump showing a huge sea of red "States" as though the barren, wind swept, empty plains of the Dakotas and Wyoming are the real American electorate.  As if these things called "States" exist in some higher echelon of political theory imbued with secret gnostic knowledge and perfect Platonic Forms arriving at the best Democracy via pure reason.

Republicans have decreed and will continue to decree that Women are not full US Citizens.  That Women have no rights when it comes to reproduction.  That Women are to be controlled by "local political leaders".  But, everyone knows Republicans in control of both House and Senate will pass a law out right banning all Abortions with no exceptions. 

Sexually assaulting women has been a prime plank of the Rape-publican Party platform for many years now, from Republicans mandating unnecessary transvaginal ultrasounds to Sam di Puzzi Alito leading The Supremacist Court to outlaw women's healthcare treatment.

Get Ready America.  Get Ready to Fight; because Republicans are coming for Us.

Russian Ron Johnson; plane thief and plain thief


"Don't Boo. Vote,"  - President Barack Obama. 

Wisconsin residents laughed and booed at Traitor Ron Johnson during his debate with Lt. Gov Mandela Barnes.   Russian Ron told Brian Kilmeade on Faux News it was all college students who've been taught leftist propaganda laughing at him.  One day, Ron Salieri Johnson swore, I will laugh at you...

Everyday brings some new revelation about Republican perfidy.  Imagine a Republican.  Now compare that Republican to any another Republican.  You will find each is worse than the other and any other Republican you can think of is worse than both of them.

Of course, you know about the violent ignorance and active stupidity of a Major Traitor Greene or Dick Flashing Lauren Boebert but, at every level from senior Senators to local county board, Republicans have adopted of a program of out-doing each other in the depths they will sink.  It's a downward spiral on the accretion disc of depravity, bigotry, and violence leading Republicans towards the Naked Singularity of Pure Fascism.

Russian Ron Johnson knows, knows on a deep visceral level that 50 years of rightwing agitprop and lies have completely conditioned conservatives.  Nothing a Republican does, save being civil to Democrats, will cost a Republican support and votes.

"The FBI set me up," - Ron Johnson. "Bitch set me up..."  - Marion Barry

There has never been a more Reactionary Law Enforcement body in American history than the FBI, that includes the Pinkertons.  Yet, a large swath of the American electorate somehow believes the FBI is in cahoots with BLM and Antifa...  Understand the constant Republicans bullying and insults of the FBI is exactly what the GQP has done to the media for years.  Republican abusive behavior is designed to get the FBI to throw up their hands and allow the Republicans to seize control of the Government and create a Neo-Nazi Nation.  Of course, the standard FBI agent is bound to be a conservative by nature and disposition and certainly there are fascist true believers who've infiltrated the FBI but, most members of law enforcement feel it's their duty to enforce the law. What the modern GQP and conservative movement doesn't want that; rightwingers specifically want Federal Law Enforcement to act like the Stasi and Gestapho.  Conservatives have always wanted Law to be used to punish their political enemies it's why they accused President Obama of using the IRS to target conservatives and why they dusted off that accusation against President Biden; conservatives have used and will use the Federal Government to harass and punish their political opponents they can not conceive of any other use for them.

So, Russian Ron Johnson knows his racist Wisconsin voters are primed to believe the FBI was weaponized against him.

But, crying about being set up by the FBI or pretending not to hear a reporter when he's being asked about his plan to hand a false slate of electors to Mike Pence on January 6th won't get Wisconsin conservatives riled up and raring to go the voting booth.  So Ron Johnson's campaign against Mandela Barnes is rife with racism.  But, in the vast Wisconsin driftless plains, Great Lake shores, and rolling forests Johnson's bigotry sells.  So, when the debate moderator asked Barnes and Johnson the banal say something nice about your opponent Russian Ron couldn't help but declare, his black opponent hates America.

The Republican Party is gone.  It's bigots, grifters, fascists, and criminals.  Period.

Ron Johnson openly states he'll help do away with Medicare and Social Security and make abortion illegal by Federal Law if he's re-elected to the Senate.  And conservatives are yearning to vote for him.  White Wisconsin rightwingers are willing to harm themselves because they know Johnson will hurt minorities, LGBTQ persons, women, liberals more.

And meanwhile, Johnson engages in financial graft and kickbacks knowing he can just declare any investigation into him is done by the Woke Gay FBI agents and conservatives will disavow reality.  Johnson has been using Howard Air, his family owned planes, for travel.  Besides reimbursing his family trust with Federal money, it's a simple way for political allies to funnel payoffs and kickbacks to Johnson.

Apropos of props here's... (Herschel) Walker, Texas Ranger

I'm also Leif Erickson and John Wayne!
I suggest the Sergeant-at-Arms give Herschel Walker an Honorary Senate Pin so Herschel can claim to be a Real Senator, as well as being a Policeman, and a FBI agent, and a High School Valedictorian

Erick Erickson loves Walker (must be the Viking connection).  Erickson is one of those soft-handed wide-waisted bigots who has an opinion about everything while writing from the safety of his expansive derrière.  I don't know if Erickson actually believes they shot he writes about Walker or is simply providing cover for Herschel.

But, throughout the Walker Saga, EricKKKson has dismissed any and all criticism.  You see to Georgia whites and especially flabby white rightwing EricKKKson types, Herschel Walker represents everything they believe about black men;  stupid, brutish, sexually licentious, possessing unreal physicality and easily told what to do and say.

Racist Georgia whites are tripping over themselves to support Walker.  Meanwhile, those same Georgia whites are slandering Senator Reverend Warnock with the same 300 year old racist smears they've peddled forever.

There is literally nothing Walker could have done previously or said recently to cause conservatives to abandon him.  They yearn to have such a man in Congress, especially due to Walker's long ties to Trump.  We are in an era when conservatives simply do not care, at all, about the failings of Republicans.  "I don't care if Herschel Walker paid to abort baby eagles.  I want control of the Senate,"  cracked-teeth crack-pot Gun Nut Dana Loesch simply declared.  Conservatives never actually believed any of the values they supposedly espoused.  They never exhibited the ethics they claimed to ardently believe in.  Everything conservatives claimed to support and cherish was naught but a rhetorical club to bash the Left.  It's always been about power.  The power to control and enforce the rightwing agenda of intolerance and oppression.

Republicans have nothing to offer the American people except fear and lies.  Nothing.  They have no policy goals, no plans, no grand strategy.  The entirety of the Republican platform is Hatred and Fear.

Fear of CRT.  Hatred of black people.  Fear of asylum seekers.  Hatred of immigrants.  Fear of change.  Hatred of Trans persons.  The visceral Hatred at the idea the US government will finally help minorities and balance the interests of the poor and working class over the abject rightwing veneration and adulation of Rich Plutocratic Overlords.  The bowl-shaking Fear that conservatives will be treated the way they treat others.

I hope Reverend Warnock wins a full-term.  I hope Stacey Abrams excellent political ground game can overcome Brian Kemp's and the Georgia Republican voter suppression efforts.

The Fascists Next Door 4: Idaho, Ohio, Arizona, Pennsylvania! Everywhere! All at Once!

Idaho has always been a wild ungovernable tribal region, safely ignored for many years.  Well... now that Republicans have outlawed all Abortions, they also demand that no one talk about it.  Also birth control is now effectively illegal in Idaho.

In Ohio we have the specter of children having children.  This is of course not a problem because Republicans believe women have no rights and no purpose other than for having children.  

On September 24th, Republicans in Arizona made it illegal for 3rd party persons to record Police from up close.  If the video does not exist, you must acquits... (oh also Republicans revived a Civil War Era Anti-Abortion and determined that LGBTQ persons aren't due equal rights or protections under law)...

In Pennsylvania, GQP Governor candidate Doug Mastriano believes women who have abortions should be tried for murder.

Republicans have passed the Fascist Event Horizon and a rapidly approaching the Naked Singularity of Outright Nazism.  The GQP is never coming back.  Whatever Republicans were or claimed to be in the past is dead.  Now, the Zombie Corpse of the GQP stalks the Nation killing each state that they can and turning them into Reactionary Undead Ghouls preying upon the remaining body of the Untied States.

Republicans Hate America.  Their goals ideology, beliefs, and actions are all inimical to the United States.  I can see no way forward to live with these ghastly monsters.  Everything they propose; from white-washing history, imposing jingoistic education, shackling women into perpetual baby making slavery, murdering LGBTQ persons, reducing minorities to second-class citizen status, declaring the United States a christian country speaks to the deep, deep, deep hatred conservatives have for the concept of America and the America Dream.  The GQP wishes to turn this land into a Reactionary Nightmare; a fundamentalist Slave state.

Don't expect the Corporate Media to save Us.  They proved in 2016 that Fascism is fine as long as their chateau briand and bank accounts stay fat.  Don't expect institutions or long-standing norms and rules to save Us.  Don't expect law enforcement or bureaucracy to save Us.  The Fascists of the early 20th century showed how to undermine those institutions, democracy, governments, and 18th century liberal ideology.  

We, the People have to save Ourselves and the Nation, if we can...

Republican Congressional candidates have nothing to offer the American people but, Lies

"This story was placed by the liberal media and my opponent... All of my deployments are listed as classified, " JR Majewski, just blame the liberal media and continue lying; guaranteed election results.

Tina Forte, J.R. Majewski, and John Gibbs are Republican candidates for Congress.  So, understand they won their primaries.  Now, it appears none of their staff or consultants did a background check or create an opposition research file on themselves.  Literally, none of these people belong anywhere near the US Government or making laws.

But, it doesn't matter because all Republicans have to do is scream Radical CRT Woke Socialist BLM Antifa and that pure unfiltered propaganda garners them support and votes.  And to be clear these 3 wack-job liars aren't the only Republicans running Congress just spouting bullshit, propaganda and falsehoods.  It's all of them.

Tina Forte rose to prominence with her heavy Bronx accent YouTube videos, steroid physique and her veal carpaccio chest screaming about AOC.  

Forte attended the January 6th insurrection and now is running against AOC.  Now Forte won her Republican primary with 1500 votes out of 2200 cast and AOC received over 150,000 in the 2020 general so... this election isn't going to be close and is going to be called with 0% reporting.  

But here's the thing about Tina Forte screaming AOC is going to Defund the Police, her family is a drug dealing and gun smuggling cartel with multiple arrests and run-ins with the law.  But, she gets to run as the Law&Order candidate because the Corporate Media will always find a way to #BothSides this.  AOC supports Police reform while Tina Forte is a Moll or gumar so both sides have a problem with law enforcement (Check out the NewYorkTimes Pitchout for similar ledes)

Meanwhile, J.R. Majewski won his primary by touting his vivid combat experience in Afghanistan being the 1st Air Force Squadron on the ground after 9/11 and he went weeks without a shower and his high-level corporate decision making.  Of course, Majewski never made it to Afghanistan.  Ever.  But, service during the Phony GWoT is no longer an animating principle for Conservatives these days anyway.  As Dan Crenshaw found out when a rightwing troll confronted him on the street to belittle his injuries and combat service.  I've noted for years on this blog and elsewhere that conservatives don't actually support the troops and never had, it's just that had been confined to mocking, attacking, and belittling Democratic or left service members but now Millennial Rightwingers belittle Republicans, too.

Then there is John Gibbs, who worked for the Trump administration in HUD (because Racist Trump thinks blacks should be confined to Urban development) won the Republican primary by ousting Pete Meijer, who had taken over the seat in 2020 but, had done the unthinkable and supported the Jan6th investigation, contempt of Congress charges against convicted criminal Steve Bannon, and voted to impeach Donald John Traitor Trump.  This is anathema to the modern GQP.  

So, Gibbs challenged him and won the Trumpublican nomination for Congress.  Well, back in 2000 and 2001, young master Gibbs attended Stanford where he founded and wrote for conservative group called the Society for the Critique of Feminism, where Gibbs argued that Women's Suffrage wrecked America.  His campaign staff have responded to the reporting by stating Gibbs really didn't believe women shouldn't be allowed to work or vote, he was just Owning the Libs before Owning the Libs was cool.

Will Veterans vote for JR Majewski?  Will women vote for Josh Gibbs?  Will LEOs vote for Tina Forte?  I guess the answers will come inside of 6 weeks.  I haven't felt this depressed about Elections since 2004, when Republicans ran on September 11th, Global War on Terror, Rah rah rah War and "won".

Republicans won and America lost.  Conservatives never really believed their so-called principles.  All their talk of liberty and support the troops and thin blue line has been rhetorical cudgels to bash the left.  What conservatives really want is a White Supremacist Nation run by the Patriarchy.  The ultimate goal for the Rich Republicans is to give conservatives a racist evangelical ethno-state here where domestic dissent by liberals, women, minorities, LGBTQ is ruthlessly quashed by Paramilitary Police forces and an expansive military which goes abroad and secures resources from foreign Nations by whatever means necessary.

Alleged Pig fucking Darren Bailey yearns to treat Illinois like he treats his hogs

Now, I don't want to say Darren Bailey fucks Pigs or Darren Bailey fondles Pigs but, it's something that is said.  Therefore, let's just agree to call him Alleged Pig Fucker Darren Bailey.  Alleged Pig Fucking Darren Bailey would be a caricature of a pig fucker if everything coming out of his mouth wasn't hog shit stupid.

Bailey's campaign is so over-the-top with lies, bigotry, and racism you'd think it was being run conservatives.  And Bailey's prime hatchet man Dan Proft is one of the vilest campaign operatives since Karl Rove

Bailey, who's repeated besmirched Chicago and Chicago citizens proclaimed he was going to immerse himself in the city so Bailey rented a penthouse in the Hancock building.  I'm sure Bailey was afraid of being called an Ivory-Tower Elitist so he choose the Hancock because it's black.

Now, alleged pig fucker Darren Bailey sees Chicago in the same way every rich right-winger or Republican does for every large US city.  As economic piggies banks for them to tap into and these cities should be silent, exert no political power, and offer up their largesse for Republicans to take just like landed rural Barons took money from feudal markets on their lands.  Republicans have always sought a return to pre-industrial America, where Rich landed gentry ran the country and those in farms and cities had no say in the matter little alone the franchise to actually vote.  A Return to Neo-Feudalism is what Bailey promises the state.

“The attempted extermination of the Jews of World War II doesn’t even compare on a shadow of the life that has been lost with abortion since its legalization.” - Darren Bailey 2017.  But, All of Darren Bailey's "Jewish friends" agree with him that Abortion was far worse than The Holocaust. *All* his Jewish friends.  This is a horrific statement in toto but, let's focus on the word "alleged".  Adding such a qualifier is a red-flag and something one always hears from Holocaust deniers, especially those who want to keep their denial on the down low while they signal their Neo-Fascist followers.  And whaddaya know?  Darren Bailey is also aligned with Awake Illinois, a Neofascist terrorist group, which the UpRising Bakery assailant, Joseph Collins, was affiliated with and from whom Collins took initiative to sloppily imitate Kristallnacht.

One of the things with modern Republicans is they've learned everything about the past from watching the History Channel or glancing at it occasionally. It shows their paucity of understanding because although Republicans know they are supposed to treat Nazis as the bad guys and not enjoy the Holocaust, But, Republicans are ideologically aligned with the Nazis and support the Mass Murder in general, so it's so damn hard for them not to say nice things about Hitler or reference the Holocaust repeatedly. 

Of course, let's not forget that Bailey was denying the Holocaust while talking about Abortion and Bailey plans to place a total ban on Abortion in the State of Illinois.  Bailey as a bloated pig farmer feels it's his place to make medical decisions for every woman in Illinois and will use the monopoly on force possessed by the State to arrest and imprison those women who dare to seek medical care and those doctors who provide it outside his prerogative.

Of course, alleged pig fucking Darren Bailey tried to blame Governor JB Pritzker for the Highland Park shooting. That's what Republicans do; they undercut government and then blame Democratic officials for Republican malfeasance.  But, this horrific alleged pig fucker in first few hours after the mass shooting, and before Bobby Crimo was in custody, declared, "let's move on and celebrate the independence of this nation." This statement alone should be disqualifying for Office, but it is so indicative of the modern GQP; This doesn't affect me, so I don't care.  And so telling for a Republican candidate who is worried about being asked about their rabid support of guns and the inevitable conclusion of the rightwing plan to flood the Nation with easily obtainable guns.

Bailey made a big fuss throughout Covid by refusing to wear a mask on the State Assembly floor requiring he be removed during the pre-Vaccination year.  And this should panic anyone who gets pork from the Bailey Family Farms, imagine what kind of unhealthy shit, health code violations, and disgusting unsanitary conditions exist down on that pig farm.

Of course, the worst thing about this is that by simply attaching himself to the Republican Party, Bailey has a chance to become Governor of Illinois.  This disgusting bigoted slob has no business anywhere in State-wide politics.  Certainly, I understand how even worse humans gain control of local politics but, the alleged pig fucking Dan Bailey isn't fit to run a pigsty, let alone the State of Illinois.  It's horrific and, what's worse is this election cycle has Republicans as bad as alleged pig fucker Dan Bailey in Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona who seek to take control and run their states as a barbarous Neo-Feudal barony.

The Many Coups of January 6th and the New Coups for 22 (Fascist Republicans are destroying America)

Look at his head noddin'
Newt The Violator Gingrich
Faced with a clear electoral and popular vote defeat, multiple long time Republicans decided to jettison the 2020 election results and any semblance of Constitutional Democracy for pure Authoritarian control of the US Government. 

Newt Gingrich famously took out a Contract on America in 1994.  Gingrich has been a stain on the United States political scene for 40 years.  Of course, he was going to try and do something about Trump's defeat.  But, as Paul Krugman said, “Newt Gingrich is what stupid people think a smart person talks like.” He's a well documented bigot and a traitor. 

Justice Ginni and Clarence Thomas the Ettin of the Supreme Court have worked since 1991 to destroy the United States.  The Thomas Ettin will undo almost all basic rights of privacy and the right (established by the 1st Amendment) to associate with whomever we, the people wish.  Ginni spent the post 2020 election contacting people in multiple states trying to get them to overturn the election.
The Ettin of the Supreme Court
Justice Ginni Clarence

Of course, the rightwing slow-moving Coup against the United States Government goes back decades.  And Reactionary's have been waiting for the right strongman to come along to undemocratically insert into the White House to drown the US Government in a bathtub and create the Neo-Confederate White Supremacist Slave State they've dreamed about since 1865.

It's insulting that the revelations about Ginni Thomas and Newt Gingrich's attempt to use their long-standing ties to the Republican establishment to coerce, entice, or bully State and local officials toignore the votes of the American people and just ensconce Donald Traitor Trump into the White House has caused such a small ripple in the Corporate Media world.

And this is what made Major Traitor Greene so angry on January 6th; Republicans had a bureaucratic plan in place to swipe the Presidency on 01/06/21 by legerdemain and rightwing domestic terrorists wrecked it by going off half-cocked.  Russian Ron Johnson was going to hand the fake electors to Pence and Mike Pence, who yearned to have someone tell him it was alright to unendorsed President Joe Biden's win, was going to fold and declare the 2020 Presidential Election undone.

Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, knows the Republicans are not going to abide by the popular vote at all in 2024.  Their actions in the wake of Trump's resounding defeat in 2020 show this;  take for instance the Unconstitutional Sheriff of Barry County, Michigan Dar Leaf who unable to find the evidence of Voter Fraud decided to engage in a conspiracy to create the evidence.  Or the local head Republican of Coffee County Georgia, who escorted unauthorized rightwing provocateurs into sensitive areas to let them copy confidential information and breach voting machines and systems.  These are just some of the efforts conservatives undertook after losing the Election.  Worse is to come...

The R-Money Reactionary Billionaire Leonard Leo apparently has the plan to stack the courts with conservatives judges who will adhere to the Independent State Legislature doctrine, so Republican controlled states can simply award their state's electoral votes to Donald Trump.

That the Republicans have fully embraced Fascism is unsurprising; there have been several inflection points since they caved to the Left and jettisoned Richard Nixon.  They last 50 years have been an exercise in the first slowly, then all at once principle.  That the Republicans are destroying America for Donald Fvcking Trump is just the pièce de résistance.

Republicans break laws and then use their law breaking to restrict other peoples' rights

"There must be an in-group whom the law protects but, does not bind and an out-group whom the law binds but, does not protect.  - Frank Wilhoit

Brushed aside as old news was the revelation Trump lover Dennis Molla lied about his Camper, home, garage and cars being burned & vandalized by liberals just before the 2020 election.  Faux News and on-line rightwing blabbermouths endlessly hyped Molla's lies as proof of the BLM + Antifa terrorism afflicting America. Worse still, despicable Molla was willing to burn his dogs to death for this fraud too.

This genre of rightwing lies, i.e. being attacked for displaying rightwing paraphernalia goes back years.  Of course, far, far worse are the rightwingers who lie about laws themselves. 

Predictably pernicious and particularly potent are rightwing lies about elections and voting.

‘We’ve got lots of theories, we just don’t have the evidence,’ Rudy Ghouliani 

One of the Republicans running with evidence-free theories about Voting Fraud, is Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling.  Sheriff Schmaling is one of those rightwing lunatics who believes he is the highest authority in the Land based on 9th century English Jurisprudence about Shire-Reeves so he's spent the last two years claiming all sorts of voting fraud.  He's also done so without evidence, which didn't stop Sheriff Schmaling from calling for the arrest of Wisconsin Elections Commission.  And then, as rightwing Sheriff's often do, when faced with a lack of evidence, Schmaling and his co-conspirators decided it was time to make the evidence themselves.

Sheriff Schmaling worked hand-in-hand with the Neo-Fascist Racine based HOT government group to commit Voter Fraud.  As always, after they've committed crimes, Reactionary Neofascists demand other people need to have their rights restricted.  These disingenuous and bad faith attacks on democracy are what appeal greatly to the rightwing lizard brain.  Since, conservatives are the "Patriots", since right-wingers are the "Real Americans", since Republicans are the only "legitimate" government officials their actions are ipso facto always righteous and they aren't really breaking the law just showing how the laws could be broken by other people.  And as elder white people they simply want their Country back.

What MAGA has always meant is stop letting those people have political power and stop them from being able to exercise their larger political power through casting a larger number of votes.  It's an idea which stretches back in conservatives thinking to the American Civil War.  Most MAGAts don't comprehend the truth of their movement distilled down as bluntly as, 'We don't like democracy and want to be the only ones who exercise political power' but, that's what it is.  More people voting is less political power for them and conservatives demand they be the only ones who count. 

Wisconsin is a battleground state.  Local Republicans have worked tirelessly to gerrymander the State Legislature.  Russian Ron Johnson is vying for his 3rd term in the United States Senate.  Ron Johnson was going to be the Senator on Jan6th to hand Mike Pence the false slate of Electors to undermine the 2020 Election.  The election President Jospeh R. Biden Jr won decisively...

As I watched election night coverage in 2020 with trepidation of a 2016 repeat, it became increasingly clear that Jospeh R. Biden won the Presidency that night and this conviction became more and more concrete as the next couple of days passed.  Even Faux News had called Arizona for President Biden putting a stake in the heart of Traitor Trump's chances.  But, the media dithered and this created a nice little niche for conservatives to claim Trump won.  And into that niche flooded the vile liars and evil villains intent on overturning the election results and stealing the Presidency for Donald John Trump.

"Just say that the election was corrupt + leave the rest to me and the R. Congressmen" - Trump after his election loss looking for others to break the law for him in one of his many schemes to defraud the United States and the American people.  

However, since the 2020 election, Republicans have increasingly turned to believing Trump's BIG LIE and this year seek political office to be able to steal the next election by bureaucratic means.  To be certain Republicans have always employed anti-democratic methods, voter oppression, intimidation, and the apparatus of government to disenfranchise and deny many Americans free and fair representation.

But, with these elections in 22, we are looking at the GQP simply declaring themselves the winners, regardless, and daring the Democratic Party and American people to do something about it.  That's the Era of Election Fraud conservatives dream about and yearn for.  They Win, you Lose.

And at that point, no amount of laws, will stop conservatives from setting up the Ultimate Law Breaking Neo-Confederate state they desire and declaring it's time to round-up and eliminate the Non-MAGA.

The GOP Plan for America: Death & Taxes

Republicans will Rule or they will Ruin America. 

I *am* taking notes on a fucking criminal conspiracy - signed Rick Perry 2020-2021

The only thing Republicans have to offer the American people is Death & Taxes.

The Paleoconservative wing of the Republican Party, once typified by racist Hitler-loving zealot Pat Buchanan is mainly passé.  However, one canard which remains active in the rightwing propaganda network is some people don't pay enough taxes and the rich pay too much in taxes.

Rick Scott, a colossal thief who bilked old people and the US Government out of Billions of dollars but got off Scott free with a $300,000,000 severance package (Brett Favre's mistake was going for too low an amount so while Favre's a HOF football player he's a Rookie grifter) has concocted an 11-Point Plan to further fuck over the American People.  It's an unholy mess which is designed to destroy the US Government.  No, that's not hyperbole.  One of the key points is sunsetting every piece of legislation in 5 years.  This alone would end the US Federal Government.  But, besides drowning the US Government in the climate-change rising tides of Florida, instead of a bathtub, Scott wants to ensure the mistake of the Post World War 2 America is repealed as well, raising taxes on the ever shrinking middle class, until all of Us are reduced to Wage Slaves.  

It's no different from every revelation that Donald Trump was an epic tax cheat and financial conman.  MAGA treated each piece of evidence with orgazmic approval and joyous expressions of admiration, 'That just proves he's smart!'  They yearn to be like him; an outright bigot, a contemptuous scofflaw, a tax cheat, an unctuous criminal with Fuck You Money who get to ignore laws, rules, regulations, and constraints whenever they feel like it.

While much of the Republican Party thought they could use Trump's rise to rubberstamp tax cuts and appoint ignorant petulant children to Federal Judges they also got an Insurrection and appeals to Fascism and Violence which initially frightened them but, they learned to stop worrying and love the Mob.

Everyday comes new revelations of what was obvious; elected Republicans conspired with Donald Trump and his criminal cabal comprised of his executive branch and family to overthrow the US Government.  The mob which attacked the Capitol was damn certain they had not only Trump's blessing but, were in communication with Republicans inside the Government.  147 GQP Senators and Representatives voted to   continue the Coup by Bureaucratic means after the violent January 6th Insurrection failed.

As a microcosm, in Nevada, Democratic Governor Steve Sisolak was accosted and threatened with hanging and bodily harm by two conservatives.
 
Nevada State Republicans, especially the loathsome Michelle Fiore, rushed to defend this and said the Governor brought it upon himself and deserved it.

It's an incident which shows the accelerating nature of rightwing discourse.  Threats of Violence are de rigeur for conservatives.  That's why January 6th was "legitimate political discourse".   

So, that's why two conservative psychos in Nevada felt not only within their rights but, righteous in threatening to murder the Governor of Nevada.  That's why a Republican running for Attorney General in Michigan feels not only comfortable but, confident her call to arrest and execute Doctors will help her win the election.

If the Republicans retake the House and Senate in 2023, everything you thought was won during the 20th century and all the way back to the Civil War is up for grabs.  Republicans in numerous states will roll back every labor protection, civil rights, education, worker's rights, EVERYTHING, because they know the Republican Congress will be busy throwing fuel onto everything and investigating Hunter Biden's TRUE CROSS Laptop while impeaching President Biden daily.  Republican State run legislatures and Governors will expand their "laws" to encroach and infringe upon other States knowing that any challenge that goes to the Supreme Court will go their way.

And then the Paramilitary Rightwing Domestic Terrorists will tag-in and relieve Police Forces of the onerous job of executing minorities and gathering up dissidents for relocation and reeducation. 

Death & Taxes are coming your way America...

The United States 2021: A Break the glass moment.

Representative Sean Casten held a small event in which he spoke about the threat we are facing from the lawless authoritarian Republican Party.  While Congressman Casten highlighted the bureaucratic roadblocks he did not shy away from invoking the Civil War.  Specifically, uttering the chilling phrase "break the glass moment". 

The Trump administration and their Republican allies planned a Coup, with a snappy Powerpoint presentation, outlining multiple methods of bureaucratic chicanery in their planned attack on Democracy and to overthrow the US Government.  On Jan 6th, Trump roused his hand-picked mob, to give his crimes a sheen of a popular uprising, as he hoped Pence would overthrow President Biden's November victory and if Pence wouldn't do it on his own accord well then his wonderful Insurrectionists would make it legal.  But, this isn't just about the Trump Golpe de Estado attempt (which everyone around Traitor Trump knew was a massive MAGA crime) but, also about how the Republican Party long ago jettisoned their commitment to elections or representation to the Nation.

Faced with losing elections, Republicans made the time honored authoritarian decision to pick their own voters, since voters won't pick them.  Faced with the problem of legislation, Republicans decided to let special interests and lobbying groups for the Rich and powerful write their legislation.  Faced with the will of the people being completely against them, Republicans have stolen the Supreme Court to ensure, their 5 Injustices undermine any future limitations upon them and retroactively undo past achievements. 

I have no doubt the Democrats in Congress understand the danger they, the Nation, and We the People are facing.  I also think Democrats are afraid.  And rightly so.  Because many Republicans are waiting, yearning, begging for anything they can use as a Casus Belli and begin slaughtering the Non-MAGA. 

Everyone is mad Merrick Garland, Speaker Pelosi and the Democratic leadership et al haven't announced the expulsions, Impeachments, and arrests of Trump, his cronies and Republicans in Congress and the Supreme Court.  But, it should be obvious that those moves are the Casus Belli Republicans are waiting for and will usher in violence from the right.

So... we wait.  The current election is always the most important election.  Republicans think their legerdemain and voting suppression will garner them the House and Senate in 2022 and they can quash the investigations.  Democrats hope the steady flow of damning evidence will lead to more and more arrests and prosecutions.

But, the Republican Party is a fully Fascist organization now.  The current young Republicans are third generation to grow up, fully immersed in the non-stop barrage of rightwing lies and propaganda.  Republicans are growing more and more comfortable with the prospect of Violence to achieve political power.  There are thousands of conservatives who want to drop liberals from helicopters, who want to go to any rally or demonstration and shoot people.  There are millions more conservatives who would willingly go along.

Republicans already launched the first salvo on January 6th...
