How can you in good conscience link that shit? Rudy Giuliani is the lawyer of Donald Trump, the man who, by all known standards, lost the election? He shouldn't be the special prosecutor, he shouldn't be involved as anything but the attorney of the plaintiff(and even then, he tested positive for Covid, something known to cause neurological damage). Rudy being willing to be special prosecutor is insane and should in no way be humoured.

Huh, that's a new one. "You had covid, you might be insane and can't be trusted!"
It isn't really unreasonable though. If someone suffers a brain injury it would be fair to question whether or not they could fulfill the tasks they were previously performing. Covid really shouldn't be any different, especially not if mental fitness is an important part of your job. Like being a lawyer or the president of the U.S.

That might backfire on you, since covid is supposed to disproportionately affect minorities. People will call you racist for implying that black people are neurologically damaged and can't be trusted with any task that requires mental fitness.

No, it will never be over, even after everyone involved is dust.
"Trump v Biden drones on. This scarecrow of a suit has, over the course of time, become so complicated, that no man alive knows what it means. The parties to it understand it least; but it has been observed that no two Escapist members can talk about it for five minutes without coming to a total disagreement as to all the premises. Innumerable children have been born into the cause; innumerable young people have married into it; innumerable old people have died out of it. Scores of persons have deliriously found themselves made parties in Trump v Biden without knowing how or why; whole families have inherited legendary hatreds with the suit."

Apologies to Dickens for the paraphrasing.

I'm guessing the Four Boxes of Liberty are one each for MI, WI, PA and AZ each containing a couple of hundred thousand of votes for Trump.

Other than ammo, all Ive seen is Trumpers being against all these. And I would put ammo at tenuous at best
That is something I've come to understand about Trumpers. They're actually cowards when it comes to actual ramifications and consequences. They don't really have the balls to start killing politicians.

The soap box is preaching, the ballot box is obvious, the jury box is the court. 'Pedes have tried all these things. The only remedy left to them is the fourth.
They're ready for violence, is what they're saying. All other means have been exhausted.

And we once again find ourselves in the position of "of course the people I disagree with are evil, they're just also incompetent cowards who can't enact the evil they obviously want to."

We're pretty much done here. It isn't that the election was stolen or not. Of course it was. The problem is that Republicans helped make it happen. Why? They'd prefer a machine politician of their choosing, even if in the opposing party, to one that they do not control.

Now many Trumpsters will make many news stories about how bad Beijing Biden is. Who cares? If not him, someone else. It's a distraction.

Just best to love the one's you care for and do your best for them.

Culture beats politics? We'll see. With as much liberty that is left, just strive to be the best version of yourself that you can be. Be an example of basic human decency. Maybe it will rub off.
