Biden White House leans toward releasing information about Trump and Jan. 6 attack, setting off legal and political showdown
Lol âleansâ. My initial impulse wouIdâve been to shove that shit out the door asap. But then again, if I were sleazy enough to become president, my second thought would be to hold the good stuff back for a day to come when I might need dirt for some political blackmail. âHey Mitch, just keep fucking around.â /fantasy
dumping it now doesnât mean anything, got to be timed close to the election
not that it mattered in 16 but this is how this all works
now allows people to process and forget about it
This is all hypothetical since whatever information there is might not be particularly damaging relative to whatâs already known. And even if there is stuff that could end careers, it depends on whose careers those are. To borrow strategy ideas from @NotBruceZ, something that could change a vote or two on legislation currently being considered would be nice. Get the vote (or abstention, if thatâs enough) with a promise not to release info, then dump it at election time anyway.
Trump isnât losing a single vote over some government report on his coup. Nor are the GOP candidates who would likely be âimplicatedâ in such a report. It could lead to some primary challenges for GOPâers who are shown to be anti-coup.
This motherfucker, right when Iâm so close to the top.
damn come on stephen youâre better than this
I donât even know how he got the 70%.
Itâs not really kingâs fault. The media has been all in trying to blame progressive lol.
The media is really our #1 enemy
Kate Porter is pretty great.
Yeah I donate to her. Isnât she in a district that leans republican? Kinda shocking she wins
Looks like it used to, but by 2020 it went for Biden by 11 points.
what is he referring to here?
I think heâs just trying to do some WISDOM, I donât think the 70% means anything. You see, Responsible People do Mature things like Compromise, donchaknow. If thereâs one thing big problem with the Dems itâs obviously that they donât compromise enough with Republicans.
Heâs saying Dems should take the latest GOP âcompromiseâ, which he says is 70% of what Dems want or theyâll end up with nothing. I donât know how he arrives at 70%.
Or what mosdef just said.
The replies make me despair. The âgrown upsâ who do and think the âsensibleâ things are going to end up killing us all. Seeing manufactured consent happen in real time.
oh man, this is such fan fic, but on the other hand, since norms are out the window, we are quite lucky noone suggested it to trmp
trump wanted to default
