@Lawrence @TheLastWord People seem surprised by this; find it an affront.
This GOP does πŸ‘ not πŸ‘ work πŸ‘ for πŸ‘ πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ πŸ‘ and has not since at least 2010 (citizen's united - the .1% was able to increase the pay for play $ from a trickle to a flood) and many have not for decades. And they are sociopaths. @Lawrence @TheLastWord Prior to that they spent decades sneaking in tax loopholes for themselves (they increased the rate at which they got richer and we got poorer - little by little over years) and the the #Kochs have been quietly installing legislators of fortune from state to fed level.

NO VOTING MACHINE IS AN ISLAND -

All require, at one point or another, connection to another device, which inevitably leads to connection to a PC or server which may or may not be hooked to the internet but most likely is. 2/

ALL ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES ARE HACKABLE

And there is reason to believe hacking has occurred in the past (Gore, Ossoff, ..) -- though no hard evidence (difficult to get when the server is wiped after a suit is filed) to prove.

There is an ominous feeling pulling at my back-brain, the primal fear center - like encroaching darkness in a realm where artificial light doesn't exist and reliance on tactile senses are my only defense against things that live in the dark and eat fingers. 2/
2016, December - the Washington Post reports that the CIA reports that Russia tried to help Trump win the Presidential election.

@barbetta1 @beth_kania @RockPaper_Sista @willfightevil @Frimmmy @wrongestwrong @SarahSheKicks2 @RinChupeco @Ruetheday852 @jennycohn1 @AliAdair22 I watched it again just now - really put a lump in my throat. We were possibly dealt a death blow with that ruling and it's just now taking it's toll. It's hard to hear - just how right he was and just how ignorant about politics I was, obviously like so many of us. 1/ @barbetta1 @beth_kania @RockPaper_Sista @willfightevil @Frimmmy @wrongestwrong @SarahSheKicks2 @RinChupeco @Ruetheday852 @jennycohn1 @AliAdair22 And now, like being poisoned and getting sick but then recovering only to begin a downward spiral because they're walking around with a dead liver, we find out something of just how badly we may have been wounded. 2/

@RockPaper_Sista @willfightevil @Frimmmy @wrongestwrong @SarahSheKicks2 @RinChupeco For 40+ years the #KochBrothers have been buying politicians at state and fed level. Mostly republicans but there are dems who've taken a bite of the koolaid pie.
Looking at #ALEC, whom they fund heavily, gives you an idea where they're currently at: 1/
sourcewatch.org/index.php/ALEC… @RockPaper_Sista @willfightevil @Frimmmy @wrongestwrong @SarahSheKicks2 @RinChupeco Here is their agenda, first seen publicly I believe when David Koch ran for VP in 1980 on the Libertarian ticket - 2/

/1/ Is it not incumbant on those of us who know what a threat the #Kochs pose to America, and potentially all democracies, to find some way to let people know? /2/ Trump is a real danger. There is absolutely no doubting that. But the true head of this snake lies squarely in the lap of the alt-right contract writers - those planning out the shit show and paying our politicians and media to make it happen.

Please include #Midterms2018 - our country is literally bathed in #KochBrothers political lackeys on all trifecta levels.
Through #ALEC, they are pushing for a Convention of States. They mean to radically alter or even rewrite the #COTUS 1/ The link below is a few months old. The "Balanced Budget Amendment" drive currently has 28 states. Just 7 states shy of the 35 required to compell congress to enact an #ArticleV #COS 2/

I'll repost this to the war room (it's slow - many houses not in session currently) but the #Kochs have literally spent decades moving states (all of them) politicians to the red. 1/ That part I have seen in writing - plenty of articles cover their astroturfers and their disbursal centers (whatever they're called - technical issues today, sorry - Rachel Maddow has covered the later as well as their mobile units) 2/

This is a great thread except it blows one HUGE point in making Trump personally the antagonist. There is a myth right now in America that getting rid of Trump will get rid of these problems. It won't - because these are not really his own ideas

Recall an interview long ago with Larry King where he spoke of taking care of people. King said, 'universal healthcare?' and Trump agreed.

πŸ”₯ "The Dangerous Path" πŸ”₯
"Big Money's Plan to Shred the Constitution"
A research document available from 'Common Cause, Holding Power Accountable' --
I recommend reading this PDF as an aid to understanding the dangers of a Constitutional Convention
commoncause.org/issues/more-de… /2/
From the Executive Summary --
"The threat is a constitutional convention, convened on the petitions of at least 34 state
legislatures as specified under an Article V of the Constitution and empowered to rewrite or
propose new amendments to that document."
