It's so great

[kimmerspixelated]

that we have a scandal involving the Rethugs that has actual laws being broken that is being completely embraced by the media.Shouted from the rooftops! It is fantastic that Woodward has a damning book as well. But here's the thing: I urge you not to get too comfortable with the way things are going. Don't break out that champagne bottle for the shoe-in that seems likely. DON'T FORGET THAT THESE BASTARDS WILL DO ANYTHING AND I MEAN ANYTHING TO REMAIN IN POWER!! They could stage a MIHOP disaster and all elections could be cancelled. Don't think they wouldn't do it, Oh, and there are those pesky voting machines! Remember it is extremely easy to hack!!! Yes, I think we are bigger in numbers than ever before! You can feel it everywhere! Feel good about that! But Chimp and Co. are desparate now, and that scares the poop outta me!

1. And "staging a MIHOP disaster" would help them how? NT

3. I keep seeing "how will that help them" pop up

as a reply to such things as staging another MIHOP or invading Iran.
Such things would create the situation that would be ideal for generalissimo chimpo to declare marshall law. It would help them to stay in power when they know they are fucked if they don't stay in power.

4. First of all there's no such thing as "marshall law" — it's "martial law."

Secondly, it would never happen.

2. The real danger does not come from electronic voting machines

it comes from Republican policies that prevent Democratic votes from bein counted. They can still steal an election without the use electronic voting.
