Jack Smith Just Told America The Quiet Part Out Loud: "Buckle The F Up"

[Bumbles]

Once again, Dean Blundell lays it out for us. The man Trump wants to jail sat down on live TV and calmly explained that the rule of law in America is being dismantled in real time — and that we haven’t seen anything yet.

"Democracy doesn’t run on autopilot. It runs on people inside institutions choosing, every day, to follow the law instead of a man. Those people are being hunted, and the hunting is the point.

The system that stopped the last coup attempt has been gutted, and the people who attempted it have learned from their mistakes.

And it’s going to get worse before it gets better — unless ordinary Americans, state officials, and the courts decide the rule of law is worth fighting for."

1. Jack Smith has, for the most part, taken politics out of the equation.

It’s up to ordinary people, from all walks of life, to do the right thing in the name of saving democracy and the rule of law.

[ananda]

19. I've been saying this here and everywhere for the last 25 years!

Citizens have to do their civic duty.

There is no goddamm savior!

[Beartracks]

20. We are the heroes/saviors we've been waiting for.

[live love laugh]

24. To expect any individual to save us from this massive attack is insane.

One person could not withstand the backlash, especially with rampant media control and brainwashing.

[ananda]

25. And yet, many Americans have a savior complex.

It's even been pretty strong here.

[live love laugh]

29. The ones who passively think Jesus will intervene are the worst.

And yet they are able to cope because they are oblivious to most of this. I am beginning to see advantages to this ignorance sadly.

[OldBaldy1701E]

31. It is more like delusion, to be honest.

Some really feel that some amorphous entity will magically appear and make it all better.

The irony is that there are some who want to say I am an idealist and not being realistic.

That is pretty funny coming from a society that has its some of its own citizens calling for a foreign invasion to 'save' them.

(Which has happened a few times.)

Ain't nobody comin'. Now what?

[TBF]

2. Trump is not going to willingly leave office -

we all know that.

[lastlib]

3. On or before Jan. 20, 2029, he IS going to leave!

Vertically or horizontally--his choice; but he IS leaving. If he doesn't go voluntarily, I and a few million of my friends will DRAG his fat smelly ass out of the White House.

[sheshe2]

14. My preference...

Vertically and in handcuffs!

[Volaris]

15. Or, you could just weld shut his bunker door...

Theres a phone down there, he can call upstairs when he's ready to go to prison.
And if he doesn't?
Meh. Same difference, except he put himself there for free, and saved the rest of us the headache of paying for his prosecution.

But yes, jack is correct buckle up and happy birthday, America.

[thesquanderer]

21. So THAT's why he wants the fancy new bunker below his new ballroom. n/t

[lastlib]

28. I hope his bunker has the same happy ending.......

that Adolf's had........


A pistol (loaded), a cyanide capsule (or two), and 50 gallons of gasoline........


( me )

[Historic NY]

27. In a box.

[Javaman]

8. I keep thinking of the last scene from the recent movie "Civil War"

as to how things are going to turn out.

[TBF]

11. ha ha -

I had to look up the synopsis because I've not seen that movie - I could see that happening.

[CaptainTruth]

4. In that last paragraph, I really worry about the "ordinary Americans."

Far too many aren't paying attention to what's happening, are clueless, &/or have allowed themselves to be brainwashed by right-wing propaganda & Trump's lies.

That's a major threat to our country.

[Bluestocking]

5. Once it starts affecting them personally

They will respond

[CaptainTruth]

12. I hope so. I see so many Trump voters who are complaining about him...

...because what he's doing IS affecting them personally, but they still say Harris would have been worse (although they never say how) & they'll never vote for a Democrat.

[Glaisne]

23. Most of them will respond by asking "why is this happening?"

Because too many are clueless about what is happening.

[SamuelAdams]

6. Here's a thought experiment.

Name every Republican in the House and Senate who would certify a Democrat having won the presidency if Trump claims it was rigged in 2028. Would the Supreme Court step in to stop Republicans from stealing the election if they still controlled Congress? Which Republicans or conservative S.C. justices would stop Trump from running for a third term? They might if he is unpopular enough. But who do you trust still has the principles to uphold the rule of law against MAGA? I don't trust Vance to do what Pence did.

[FakeNoose]

9. That's why Vance cannot be elected, even though he'll probably be the R candidate

Democrats and independents all need to be on our toes from now until 2028. We need to stay focused on what's really happening. Jack Smith sees it happening from the outside, but he's getting good info from loyal (and scared) DoJ employees.

[people]

13. They didn't certify the democrat in Bush v. Gore!

[Amaryllis]

16. " Would the Supreme Court step in to stop Republicans from stealing the election if they still controlled Congress?"

THey didn't in Bush V Gore.

[orangecrush]

7. Kick

[Escape]

10. Mark Twain said..

"No society ever achieved freedom through mere peaceful petitioning. ...successful revolutions require firm and often, forceful, action against intolerable conditions..."

p.s.....Twain told me that yesterday when we were visiting.

[70sEraVet]

17. This guy needs to be our next Attorney General!

[malaise]

18. Check the firings at DNI this week

Wake up everybody

22. 260 FBI agents probing Georgia 2020 election.

ATLANTA (AP) — The FBI has asked its field offices across the country to dedicate more than 200 staffers to its investigation of the 2020 election in Georgia’s Fulton County.

A memo obtained Thursday by The Associated Press calls for the FBI to “surge” 260 investigative analysts and staff operations specialists to the effort, which it described as a “priority investigation.”

He may "think" that keeping the 2020 "steal" alive and in the news will lend more credibility to his 2026 and 2028 "steals".

[yellow dahlia]

26. Buckle up!

We are in the fight of our lives. It may be the last chance to save this Democracy.

[COL Mustard]

30. The most dangerous time in American history, at least since the Civil War,

Is going to be the time between Election Day and January 3rd, when the new Congress takes office.

They’ll have about two months of pretty much unchecked power remaining.
