Trump was no longer listening to his White House counsel, the elite team of attorneys who take an oath to serve the office of the president. But by all accounts, he hadn’t been listening to them for some time.
Three days before Jan. 6, Philbin told Jeffrey Clark, a Justice Department lawyer, that if Trump remained in office despite no evidence of fraud there would be “riots in every major city in the United States.”
Pat Philbin is more optimistic about Americans than I am. Republicans have been stealing elections time to time since the year 2000, and I haven’t seen a single riot about it.
That’s because they keep us arguing with the Republicans about trans people and immigrants.
If the democrats could get their heads straight about who and what the actual problem in our country is (ultimately the lack of accountability in Washington and the efforts by Republicans across the country to disenfranchise millions of voters), we could then demand some real change.
Instead, we’re fighting over student loan scraps and the environment. That all comes after we fix our voting systems so that we can actually have representation to get things done.
Agreed.

There’s the rub… one of the core actual problems in our country is that if you’re in government, you can make a pile of money by selling out the working folks to the people who have piles of money to give you. The Democrats are great, comparatively speaking (i.e. standing next to the Republicans), but even so there are a lot of Democrats who don’t want to solve that problem.
To put it bluntly - there are a lot of democrats taking a lot of corporate bribe money to ensure that “nothing would fundamentally change.”
Of course he stopped listening to them; they swore an oath to serve the office of the President, not Trump himself lmao
As disturbing as this was to read, it was nice to know there were still some honest and clear-headed people working in the government at the time this shit went down.
