Since people seem to have missed this one, unsealed in the Smith filing:

-Trump used a burner phone, routed through a foreign country to contact Michigan house speaker.

-He tried to pressure the speaker in this off book call.

-Speaker McCarthy knew about the burner phone line.

-The phone showed up as “Spam Risk Egypt” on caller ID.

    It’s maddeningly clear that there are powers in place green lighting a criminal enterprise.

    If they succeed the future will ask “how the fuck did 320 million people stand by and let it happen?”

    We didn’t.

      Because the people getting fucked aren’t the gun lovers.

      Shout out liberal gun owners and socialistRA.

      Aren’t we kind of not doing anything though? Looking at somewhat recent events, the trump cult attempted an insurrection when things didn’t go their way. I can’t think of anything to that level on the opposite side.

        There’s nothing we can do.

        Those looking at it will say “he was a criminal why wasn’t he behind bars?!”

        Yeah, we all have been wondering the same thing. Protests, grassroots campaigns, and the SCOTUS is still green lighting fascism.
