Atlanta-area prosecutors investigating efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia are in possession of text messages and emails directly connecting members of Donald Trump’s legal team to the early January 2021 voting system breach in Coffee County, sources tell CNN.

      First off, I’m not American.

      Second, your comment is invalid. This isn’t an “us vs them” situation. It was up until very recently, but the Republicans decided to breach the wall. During the leadup from 2000 to 2016, American elections became far more entrenched. Newt Gingrich and Fox are mostly to blame for this, successfully turning republicans from a political group to essentially a lifestyle. The Democrats did this in kind, to an extent, but on a much later game. That wasn’t turned up until 2016. However during the 2016 election, the leader of the Republican Party and a slew of other Republican party officials conspired with a foreign power to influence the election and then committed numerous federal crimes to do so. They also committed numerous federal crimes after doing so.

      This isn’t “us vs them”. This is literally “Democracy vs Fascism”.

      So I’d kindly suggest shutting the fuck up and not downplaying literal fucking fascism as being ‘the other side’.

      This statement is trying to go for neutrality in the same way that asking a woman clutching a black eye “What did you say to him?” is just gathering information.

      That is: it’s not, we see through it, and we’re tired of it.

          You guys are 31 trillion in debt. You aren’t rich, you’re just borrow money you can’t pay back and keep increasing your debt limit.

          It’s nice spending money that’s not yours until the lenders get fed up about the lack of payments and you default and go into bankruptcy. I cannot wait until the US debt situation explodes, watching from half way around the world.

          And yes I’m aware pretty much every nation is in debt, but not to the extent the US is. But the US is by far the most in the hole.

          I don’t know why Americans think they’re hot shit. You’re literally just an echo chamber the rest of the world laughs at.
