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.

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!

[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.

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.

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.

[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.

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.

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