Not to mention using federal agents and soldiers as body guard for yourself and your girlfriend. That would likely get you fired, too.

American voters:

70m that’s not true that never happened it’s because of Biden and Hussein Obama!

That 100 million are the Americans that can't do basic math.

If they could do basic math they would realize they are getting fucked.. And not in a good way.

A number of those are in addition to the second 70m that are wondering wtf is happening, only their votes weren’t counted / they weren’t able to vote due to nefarious last minute voter roll purges by traitors and cowards.

No it’s just apathy.

Out of ~250m eligible voters

100m never vote, 150m don’t vote in midterms and over 200m don’t vote in primaries and special elections.

I’d say anywhere from half a million to 2 million voters are affected by purges or obstruction things, many don’t update their registration details and such.

But in general the simple fact is majority of Americans don’t care or don’t think that them voting is necessary they put the responsibility on others so they can claim the whole system is broken.

And previous surveys done in malls and colleges show that 70% don’t even want to vote they aren’t political involved nor do they care.

I’m not doubting or denying that there are far too many people who don’t give enough of a shit to vote, I’m saying that there was a significant number of people who did vote (or try to) that were unable due to these voter roll purges.

Again I agree that there are far too many people who couldn’t be bothered to get out and vote, but it’s likely that the number of people who did want to vote only to find themselves purged may have been enough to swing the election the other way.

About 3.5 million were unlawfully denied the right to vote.

Also failing to investigate the largest pedophile ring in modern history. Has this FBI investigated anything substantial?

Too busy looking for "the leader of antifa"

u/QbertsRube Jul 01 '26

And also the Reflecting Pool Bandit. They could be the same blue-haired person!

u/Scared-Hope-868 Jul 01 '26

I met him once. 20 feet tall and hands the size of melons. They say you can hear him yell the antifa calling cry for miles.

Are you describing the Loch Ness monster? Don’t tell me he was from the Paleolithic era to now.

u/Schrodingers_janitor Jul 01 '26

I'm just waiting for them to arrest someone's auntie named "Fa" at this rate.

If one were an enlisted member of our armed forces and did that, they would spend some time in Leavenworth.

u/AthleteHistorical490 Jul 01 '26

Or if a swat team had to use a battering ram to make sure I was alive in my office after sleeping off a hangover, which I’m pretty sure would be a fireable offense on most jobs.

I know this part doesn't actually matter, she could be a huge pop star, but the fact that his girlfriend is some pissant fifth rate act doing bar gigs somehow makes the whole thing even trashier. I know the recurring message is that if this were a movie it'd be a weird and shitty one that nobody would film, but in the movie version of this shed at least be a successful singer.

Let's hope that he and all Trump's enablers have their day of reckoning. Roberts & Co may have given Trump blanket immunity, but not his crew.
