I am sick of these MAGAts and the stupid “good” people who continue to support their blatant criminality and immorality. R=good, D=bad. It is insanity.

I ignore the MAGAs. They remind me of the hold out Japanese soldiers who kept fighting one lost soldier after another against an army of Americans and their allies long after the war was won.

We outnumber MAGA. We outnumber all of them. And we are pissed off! So, let's show the world how many we are, and how much power we hold when we unite.

We are at war, but it is one that we win by protesting *peacefully* and in great numbers over and over again until we prevail.

My focus is glued on one task at a time. Right now, it is on taking the next hill and not alone. We all need to be doing the same thing as an army focused on the next hill.

Join us at the next big nationwide protest, which is the next hill on April 19th. Find the one closest to you. Just google "April 19th Protest" and set your plan in motion.

However, just like planning a battle what is not left out is determining how many soldiers are needed. We need 3.5% of the total population to overthrow autocracy -- this is statistically proven. It cannot be argued. We need to unite and commit to hit 3.5%.

We hit 1.5% last Saturday with 5 million people. 2% stayed home. Plan A is the 2% we missed last time shows up, but Plan B is each of us who showed up last Saturday bring 2 people with you. If we hit 3.5% it will be like the shot heard round the world! We need to hit 3.5% at every freaking nationwide protest throughout the Spring/Summer and Fall.

Considering what Ukraine has done for three years fighting Putin this looks easy, no?

Yes they are. They are throwing out votes, because a MAGA didn’t win. It will go to NC Supreme Court which is stacked with MAGA & I’m sure they wi declare that she didn’t win. They don’t win, unless they cheat. Our VITES don’t count!!! We need HELP !!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

No, those firms offered pro bono work for Caligula, not the people caught in his net of oppression, but thanks for clearing that up. Calling all lawyers who believe in the rule of law: offer pro bono services to the unjustly accused who can't afford to defend themselves. It could improve your public relations, which so far are in the toilet (with notable exceptions to those ethical and patriotic firms who are refusing to pay extortion to him).

This article has a little bit more information about the votes. This is so unjust. I'm not one to wish my life away, it's getting shorter by the day anyway, but I do wish it was mid-term election time so the Democrats could get the House and Senate back. If I see any McDonald coupons I'm going to send them to Trump and try to hurry him along.

Also, if anyone posts on Craigslist. I went to N. Carolina, then to Raleigh and posted in the community section. There are 7 or 8 cities listed. I don't know which ones were targeted. Maybe others can post in the community - politics in the other cities.

It's 5 Republicans to 2 Democrats, counting Allison Riggs. She, of course, has recused herself from any discussions of this case so that makes it 5 to 1. North Carolina is so gerrymandered that it is difficult for a Democrat to win most elections.

Your Honor as a proud Air Force veteran I apologize for the lack of political honesty in our country. John Roberts and the Federalist Society are destroying the Leagal system in our country. I am 74y/o and my parents were friends with a few judges here in the Pacific Northwest as were my paternal grandparents. In their time most judges in our area of this country were apolitical because of respect for the voters.

Artemis's avatar

No because we actually made the right choice in terms of governor. We picked the boring competent candidate over a Nazi. Also our republican senator Thom tillis barely won his reelection. Luckily for him his opponent Cal Cunningham got caught up in a cheating scandal. So now we’re actually turning more purple in some countries. Democrats won the majority of the local elections in my county. We got a large influx of voters from California and Arizona that are turning our state more blue

What can the people of North Carolina do about this? My vote should count! We have a democratic governor and lieutenant governor yet the republicans have rendered them powerless since they hold all other elected seats. I checked the list by county and I’m not one of the 65,000 votes in question but not many people will do what I did to check. This is just another awful thing happening in North Carolina.

We are a country of innocent until proven guilty-why doesn’t this apply to voting. The burden of proof should be on those claiming certain votes are invalid. EVERY vote should count until you PROVE beyond a reasonable doubt that a vote shouldn’t count and give explicit reasons (not concerns) then give the voter an opportunity to remedy or defend their vote. Only then should a vote not count.

Oh hell not! We must do everything in our power to support Justice Riggs. Also, in view of these attempts to undermine her fair and democratic victory, why don't we call for a comprehensive physical recount of the 2024 Presidential Election ballots to clarify REAL irregularities?

Furthermore, we must subpoena all evidence related to the so-called “assassination attempt” on July 13, which was poorly staged and tragically cost lives. Their underhanded tactics to steal Justice Riggs’s seat must be exposed, along with the other disgraceful lies and crimes they have committed.

They are. With all their lying, I don't understand how they sleep at night. How their stomachs aren't twisted up in knots. That guy knows he lost. Judge Griffin knows Justice Riggs won, fair and square. He knows this, not just once, but 3 times. Yet he continues to lie. They want him on their supreme court in N. Carolina? That's beyond cringe. To think there's a judge in N. Carolina with no sense of what the law is, is mind numbing. People enter that have done something against the law, and that guy, that judge sentenced them? How moronic.
