LMAO judges doing an interview = misconduct
Supreme court judges take bribes = that's just a gratuity and that's OK, he's just my billionaire friend forgiving hundreds of thousands of dollars and buying my mom a house and flying me on a private jet for a vacation

I watched a great documentary called Bad Faith last night about how Christian Nationalists literally hate the entire structure of the United States of America so much, they just want to destroy as much of it as possible by any means necessary. Oligarchs want the same thing for different reasons, but since they’re aligned on that, the “burn it all down” movement has funding.

u/jmur3040 22h ago
It's had funding since Nixon. White Christians were mad about the IRS pulling funding from religious schools that were segregated. Reagan campaigned on stopping that and the "moral majority" awoke. It was never about abortion, never really, it was always about tax dollars not going to those schools and churches.

Also equally, or even most importantly is basically forcing kids to interact with and be a part of their religion. Which is also why they want to ban abortion. They need assess in seats for the grift/church to work.

I took a college class about the founding of America and two things stood out to me. First, a rocket to Mars, who is going? Only those with nothing left to lose, no job, no family - I might as well be dead, why not see what's out there? Once they made it, it was the religious nutjobs who followed because they we're more strict than European Christianity at least the Church of England - they were Puritans. They wanted freedom to practice their faith, not tolerance for others. Massachusetts banished dissenters like Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson and even hanged several Quakers.
Sow those seeds for 250 years and viola!

trump only agreed to run as a republican the second time if the rnc gave him control of the party's purse strings (and put his own people in charge of the rnc). that money would normally go to help fund campaigns and advertising, but he's been refusing to dole it out
Trump's plan to merge 2024 campaign with RNC, spend $1 billion
if they do stand up to him, their funding is gone. and since the only reason they got into politics is to enrich themselves it's not something they're willing to do

My main concern with that is that ousting Trump would still leave us with Vance as vice president. And most of the Republicans who have been supporting/enabling him.
Edit: Let me remind you that Vance has been one of the main proponents of Project 2025, which Trump has incompetently been putting into practice. There's a chance that Vance may be more competent at this, even if he's unpopular.
The purpose of project 2025 has been all along to permanently entrench conservatives into power.

u/warrends 23h ago
Vance doesn’t have nearly the “charisma” that trump has. Whenever trump is out, IF Vance even takes the reigns (I say “if” because even once trump is out somehow he’ll still be calling the shots, unless he’s actually, really dead, not like McConnell dead), I honestly think that things will actually be better. There will be this strange void with no one individual “leader”.
Please don’t ask me to explain, because I really don’t get it and I don’t get why Hitler had so much charisma back in the day either. Yet both are eerily similar.
4
u/I_hate_all_of_ewe 23h ago
I think the risk is that with Vance calling the shots, he may be more competent in pushing through his agenda, which has been Project 2025 and the permanent entrenchment of power for conservatives.
1
u/warrends 18h ago
I get that. And there’s no doubt in my mind that Vance is actually a smart guy. If not completely misguided. So he would be able to “logically” (using that word loosely here) push for their agenda but I just don’t think he has the backing to get stuff done. Which is good.
2
u/DriftingMemes 22h ago
Vance doesn't have any real beliefs. He goes with whatever he thinks will lead to power. He might consider moving forward with 2026, but I could just as easily see him pivoting away. Once Trump is gone/dead he might. This is the same guy who called Trump "America's Hitler" just a few short years ago. These guys have no real morals or beliefs, so they can say/do/follow whatever they think will help them gain more power.

u/Danktizzle 23h ago
Yeah , nobody gonna move to red states and vote. Even if they lose Congress and the presidency, it will only be 2-4 years before they get control of all three branches again.

u/sircastor 17h ago
I think Vance is somewhat more dangerous than Trump. He can't command the attention of a voting bloc, but he's substantially more cogent than the President and less self-serving. He is willing to do whatever the GOP leadership and Peter Theil want. Trump wants to siphon tax payer money into his family and friends' coffers, and be adored.

u/ukexpat 23h ago
trump isn’t doing it, the fascists behind him are, people like Vought and Miller. trump just signs whatever they put in front of him.
2
u/I_hate_all_of_ewe 22h ago
The problem is that Trump has been doing whatever he wanted. That alone has been a huge hindrance to their plans. Vance is ostensibly more willing to fall in line and be subversive.
1
u/fcewen00 22h ago
There is some good in that depending on timing. Theoretically, if they can get Trump out of office before noon on Jan20th, Vance could only have two years as president. Before Jan20th Vance would be considered serving his first term as president. After noon on Jan20th something much worse could potentially happen and he could have 10 years in office. Now, if Trump isn’t impeached and makes it to noon of Jan20th, I’ve got a pretty high expectation that by 1pm, Vance will kick off section 4 of the 25th amendment.
1
u/The_frogs_Scream 22h ago
If the big t gets the boot (impeached or 25th'd, or just gets tired and retires) we need the senate to not confirm the VP as president and then impeach the VP and a couple others. This paves the way for the speaker of the house to become President. I mean, we're already in a constitutional crisis, its not like messing with the succession isnt going to be any less of a crisis.
1
u/oxwof 19h ago
That’s not the way that works. If the presidency is vacant or if Trump is 25th’d, the VP automatically takes over (as Acting President if Trump is 25th’d since he would still technically be president, or as by-god POTUS if the office is vacant). No congressional action needed.
1
u/The_frogs_Scream 5h ago
yes, I missed some nuance. the vp becomes president, then with the approval of congress the president appoints a VP. Withhold that approval and impeach the president. the next in line is the speaker of the house. Its messy, and a different type of crisis but we already have a constitutional crisis anyway, and if there are enough votes to impeach, there are probably enough votes to confirm the speaker of the house as president.

DoJ covering up for the CIA / FBI covering up for child rapists, sex traffickers, and money launderers all so they could get blackmail to leverage influential people.

Fortunately there isn’t anything they can do to lifetime Federal appointments for the same reason we cannot get rid of the dirtbag. Removal via the Senate is an impossibly high bar. .
