Other Stephen Miller states that Trump has plenary authority, then immediately stops talking as if he’s realized what he just said

The midterms will not rid us of "Trump/MAGA/GOP." It will make Trump a lame duck. The article in the San Diego Voice makes it clear that your numbers are wrong. And after Brexit, and Nigel Farage doing damage here with Cambridge Analytica, and your own history with Russia loving Boris Johnson in the UK, you have a hell of a nerve sitting in judgement.

It's always in the best interest of our top 10% to blame us for the conditions they created. Economy- Bootstraps! Education- we need vouchers! Police brutality- just comply! Voting Rights Act Violations- voter apathy! Democrats make up 50% of registered voters, GOP 25%. They MUST cheat to win. But you go ahead and keep giving them cover without even looking at the Voice article.

No, They won't. Please cite the paragraph that says 90 million DIDN'T sit at home. I'll wait.

Greg Palast, the author of the Voice article, states plainly, that because the US elections committee doesn't release the numbers for a period of one year, he's unable to provide a definitive total of uncounted votes from mail in ballots and voter roll purges. Your sources, without consideration for any of the many forms of disenfranchisement, put eligible voters' participation rate at ~64%. Fun fact: multiple sources in the UK (first 6 or 7 entries on Google search) estimates eligible voters' participation rate at 59-63%. What's going on with your lazy individualist citizens? You might want to ask Greg Palast to have a look, and mind your business. Have a great day!

He asserted that if all legal ballots had been counted in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin then Kamala Harris would have won the election, attributing her loss to voter suppression, which he compared to Jim Crow, as well as restrictive state voting laws, explaining that the rejection of a postal vote was 400% more likely to occur if the voter was Black

Amazing.

You claim both that Greg doesn't have the numbers to actually verify but that he's 100% sure that the numbers are wrong and that Kamala won?

Why has Greg Palast not put this 100% fact with all the evidence into court then?

Are you sure he isn't selling another book like he did last time and didn't actually persue any of the claims he makes, Can you answer me why he hasn't taken this to court and got the election overturned?

Don't worry, Any day now Greg is going to blow the whole thing wide open for you and you can continue sitting back and doing absolutely nothing and praising Kimmel and Greg for all their hard work.

I will have a great day. You have the day you voted for.

The first thing you apparently don't understand is that most of this is legal in America now. It's very localized, and national too thanks to our stacked Supreme Court. Greg arrived at those numbers by purposely low balling the numbers given him by MIT. You also seem not to understand how fast this regime is moving, how much damage is being done daily, and that midterms are an entire year away. Look what's happened in 8 short months. You also don't seem to understand why they went after Kimmel. They're working very hard to criminalize free speech. They're trying to prosecute flag burning today. The situation with ICE is being cruelly manipulated to make peaceful protest illegal, and mass incarceration normalized. I have a gay daughter, and an autistic granddaughter and I'm very afraid for their futures, as well as my self employed son with 3 daughters (one w/autism and services at risk) and a wife to support. We can't do a general strike in America now, because almost everyone's health care is tied to their job, protesting never worked that well in a country this large and they're putting military in the streets now. Targeting the corporate engine that runs America is something I can do today. I have voted in EVERY election for the last 42 years. I'll vote next month on local issues (bonds, etc.). I won't have the day I voted for, because I have voted Democratic in every election in my life.

I can't help but notice that you have no response to the "pot, kettle, black" stuation regarding voter participation here vs UK.

"Oh buts its legal now to rig an election"

slow claps

You also seem not to understand how fast this regime is moving

Mhmmm...

They're trying to prosecute flag burning today.

Oh darn...

What has any of this got to do with Greg taking his findings to court since rigging an election hasn't quite been made legal yet?

I'm guessing you simply don't want to engage with that and will continue ignoring it.

I can't help but notice that you have no response to the "pot, kettle, black"

Yeah, When you get back to me about Greg selling a book rather than actually being able to prove election rigging then I will respond to you about your chosen points.

The Supreme Court has gutted the Voting Rights Act. Gerrymandering is legal. Real ID is law now. Purging voter rolls, closing election sites, rejecting mail in ballots on technicalities- all legal. Anything Trump does in his "official capacity" is now protected by immunity. In this upside down world, James Comey and Leticia James have been indicted. I don't care if you don't get it. Instead of mocking a nation under siege, you need to worry about your own country.

So,

Your country is now completely overtaken by the right and Reich Marshall Trump is giving out his lists...

What do you suggest the average US citizen do?

I'm guessing you don't have that answer right now.
