Notes from the Resistance
Brazil’s top elections court voted Friday to bar Jair Bolsonaro from running for office for eight years — a period that covers the next presidential election — for making what members of the panel said were claims he knew to be false about the integrity of the country’s voting systems. [More]
So “democracy” is just another word of political convenience…?
And if the people want guns…?
Only the states and Congress can regulate elections, according to the Constitution. But not according to SCOTUS. [More]
Well, it’s not like they get asked relevant questions in the job interview…
“Usually, when Senators at confirmation hearings have asked Supreme Court nominees to comment on topical legal and constitutional issues, the nominees have firmly declined to do so.” The report explains. “In those situations, the nominees typically have taken the position that answers to questions which convey their personal views would conflict with their obligation to avoid appearing to make commitments, or provide signals, as to how they would vote as a Justice on future cases.”

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

Anyone who wants to get to the bottom of January 6 must focus on the key moment: The precise time the typical protest escalated into “the most investigated demonstration in FBI history,” defense attorney Steven Metcalf told TGP. [More]
Well, what kind of provocateurs would they be if they didn’t provoke?

Why is it I expect the Republicans to respond like Billy Bob Thornton?

The report, coming almost four years to the day since Durham’s assignment began, will probably be derided by Democrats as the end of a partisan boondoggle. Republicans will have to wrestle with a much-touted investigation that has cost taxpayers more than $6.5 million and didn’t send a single person to jail, even though Trump once predicted that Durham would uncover the “crime of the century.” [More]
Just because this is another flaccid Kraken doesn’t mean Trump was wrong.
It just means the possibilities for peaceful revolution keep getting sabotaged by those who believe they are in power.
Illegal immigrants get court dates scheduled for years in the future, allowed to stay in US in the meantime – Many migrants don’t have to appear in court for up to five years [More]
Give it another year and the wait time will double. Not that people whose first act in this country was to break its laws plan on showing up.
The politicians, officials, business interests, and string-pullers behind this state of affairs seem pretty unconcerned about personal repercussions, don’t they?
So do our “gun rights leaders”…
Biden approval slips to new low in wake of 2024 campaign launch: survey [More]
When an enemy feigns vulnerability they want you to believe it for a reason. The true powers that be can’t be all that displeased with the way the administration with this guy as its figurehead has accelerated their agenda schedule on all fronts…
Now is not the time to get confident, let alone overconfident. Remember the “red wave”…?

Rep. Chip Roy Introduces Bill to Keep Non-Citizens From Voting, Thwarting Democrat Election Strategy [More]
Loophole? What loophole?
Under the new bill, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would be required to provide citizenship status information to states if they are asked for it.
And if they don’t want to ask for it?
Democrats screaming “Racism!” and “Disenfranchisement!” in 3…2…1…

Allred set to launch Texas Senate run against Cruz [More]
How is he on guns?
How do you think?
The “Californiaing” of Texas won’t help either, especially since:
“The people coming to Texas are on the younger side. And young people, on average, have more progressive views on a number of social issues.”
This guy looks more dangerous than Beto and it looks from voter data like Cruz is going to be in for the political fight of his life. On the whole, women, “progressives,” and minorities will be Allred’s for the taking. And out-of-state Bloombergians, celebrities, and Silicon Valley tech lords are licking their chops and ready to pour in gazillions.
So, what’s the counter-plan?
“User feedback is helping us put Michigan on the cutting edge of voter roll truth and accuracy,” Tim Vetter, co-developer and co-founder of checkmyvote.org, said in a statement. “Dirty voter rolls are a national security issue.” [More]
Because Lord knows we can’t trust the people whose job it is to do that.
