1. Maybe we'll see egg on the faces of the Supremes. It was Trump's dictatorship to win and he's going to flub it.

Biden and the Dems have to wear this one out. They have to beat it to death.

There are So many traitors in Washington holding legitimate, public-facing jobs. They show their disloyalty in broad daylight, and no one seems to notice. Doesn't Garland notice? Since when did trying to overthrow the government become less serious than a couple of misplaced WORDS?

On the other hand, Donny can't respond without causing others to focus on his lying. He can't deny his knowledge of P2025 because his foreknowledge is already on the record.

2. I still am totally baffled how a convicted felon can run for president in this country, not to mention his constant lying

Let alone how anyone would even consider voting for a candidate who attempted to overthrow the government! Especially since the other choice is our most experienced POTUS in our history with 36 years in the Senate and 8 years in the Executive Branch as VP where he was chosen for his foreign policy experience!

And if they consider themselves lifelong Republicans and voted for Reagan - this felon is just the opposite - Reagan was pro immigration, was tougher than anyone on the then-Soviet Union (which Putin is trying to recreate) and when President Clinton was able to pass the Assault Weapons Ban, he did it with the support of all the living former presidents, Carter, Ford - and Reagan!

The plan was to win the election and then spring a BIG “surprise” on the American people when nobody could do anything about it anymore.

What does the old-time villain snarl when he’s prematurely and unexpectedly found out? “Curses! Foiled again!”

6. Of course I think you're right - but now that we know their cruel and anti-democratic plans, this needs to be publicized

Who in their right mind would be okay with losing every single one of their rights?? Except the deluded idiots who still support a convicted felon who attempted to overthrow the government - but I don't think that even they would be fine with this complete loss of human rights.

7. That's why I think they wanted to wait until the exact "right" time to lower the boom.

When there was no possible pushback that meant anything because it was all securely locked in before anybody realized what they’d done.

Interesting that the only way they feel powerful is literally when they could completely rig the game. And unfortunately their hard-on for power is what inevitably blows up in their faces.

8. Well, somebody leaked it and it's being talked about everywhere from MSNBC to Seth Meyers

Even John Oliver did a good exposé on it a couple of weeks ago. Very few are going to read through over 900 pages, but what we've heard so far is frightening enough. This anti-democratic plan needs to be exposed everywhere - especially among the Republicans.

will affect their daily lives and how Heritage Foundation runs the GOP and SCOTUS and tie that
around every R's neck running for reelection, the pollsters will be shocked by our BLUE WAVE.

You going to vote R so you lose half of your Social Security check because employers don't have
to match what you put in? They'll privatize it and the middle man will want 10% off the top.

You have the time & energy to home school your kids because the $5,000 education voucher falls
way short of what the school demands and you can't afford the difference?

Think you'll ever fly again after they kill the FAA? Airlines safer without them looking over shoulders?

I could probably think up dozens more questions to ask others but I can't keep my eyes open.
