The image is almost too on-the-fucking-nose. A child spray-painting over Lady Justice's eyes while everyone pretends the institution itself remains intact. ⚖️
You don't have to destroy oversight when you can simply make it unable to see.
Authoritarian politics rarely arrives wearing jackboots.
It arrives carrying administrative paperwork.
Fire the watchdogs. Gut the regulators. Cripple enforcement. Then announce with a straight face that accountability has somehow improved.
What a load of fucking bullshit.
The genius of concentrated power is convincing people that the problem isn't corruption.
The problem is the people investigating corruption.
If the referee keeps calling penalties, eventually somebody decides it's easier to remove the referee than stop cheating.
That red streak across Justice's face isn't vandalism.
It's propaganda.
A system doesn't become more trustworthy because you blind the people responsible for watching it. It just becomes easier for the powerful to operate in the dark. ⚠️

Orange baby is proud of every act of destruction.

Wait, your telling me the guy who tried to steal the 2020 election is trying to steal another election. SHOCKED!... Well, not that shocked. Right now, I do have a fair amount of hope it will go enough against him that it won't matter, but these are some dark times.

There'll be more than enough volunteers to help in the elections, believe you me.

I wonder what happens when we run out of diplomatic solutions?

EAC has no oversight over elections.
[Since formed in2003] "the EAC has only had a quorum (three commissioners) to take action 68 percent of the time. In fact, there has been a full complement of four commissioners for just 28 percent of the commission’s existence." https://bipartisanpolicy.org/article/improve-elections-fully-confirm-election-assistance-commission-before-2020/
...still a weird thing to do for someone concerned about the non-issue of "election security"

Mother fucker is trying everything he can to fuck shit up!

How many copaganda shows and movies feature "internal affairs" as antagonists.

You don’t have to wonder why he is fortifying the White House.

Monitoring and confirming that voting machine hardware and software have not been tampered with, as well as confirming the accuracy of vote tabulations, are among the responsibilities of the Elections Assistance Committee (EAC) who Trump fired. Dominion voting equipment were purchased by Trump's friend in 27 states. Greetings from a would be autocrat introducing voter fraud.

He fired the Democrats. The Republican on it quit.

Funny that your system allows it.

It didn't for 91 years until 6 people decided the Constitution is completely irrelevant once again.
RenaissanceFaireMan
Can't believe Biden did that!
UncleRat
I was thinking that if Trump were found floating in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, it would be all right with me. As long as someone scraped that spray shit off his face. Enough ducks have died because of Trump.

I hope I see him loose everything before he dies.

They’re not even being slightly subtle about their vote rigging attempts this time around.
apLundell
This is a confused mixed metaphor. Justice is *supposed* to be blind. She is always portrayed as wearing a blindfold. She weighs the evidence with her scales without allowing anything else to influence her.
Filanwizard
assuming we still get fair elections, That SCOTUS ruling will blow up in the court's face at some point. when the democrats come in again and just fully PURGE all MAGA from government jobs. Hell maybe they should try and fire Supreme Court justices just to see what happens.
BrickSprickly
Theyre gonna cheat until it looks 'close' then have SCOTUS rule to overturn the results.
Porfirij
they are cheating, rigging, intimidating, disenfranchising... all while feigning concern about election security and accusing their opponents of the very thing they are so openly doing themselves. they know they don't stand a chance in even remotely fair elections, and it's maddening how brazen they are with their manipulation, and how their voters don't care at all.
Whitebeardthepirate
well duh.... we knew this. the question is: What are we going to DO with this information?
duktayp
So, we're living in the "Civil War" prequel movie
spittleteets
You think a commission that has no enforcement oversight, and can and still operates, is a prequel to civil war?
...I was wondering what projects Kathleen Kennedy was getting into...
Fyreworx
gee what a really strange thing to do. like that's super weird why would you do something like that when you're so concerned with election fraud and all that right.
livingonagiantfireball
Its too bad american have too much peft to lose to fight violently, there is just so much more to lose.
meme2theextreme
The worst part is that they will convince all their bootlicker followers that this was done to make elections more safe and secure and they will believe every bullshit word.
LanceSackless
They were all deep state plants you see

I'm getting tired of hearing about this orange stooge ripping apart everything that made America what it was, I'm ready to see some consequences.
TheSecondPiewackit
I'm getting tired of people in other countries with no skin in the game telling us to go out and commit mass suicide by cop so we don't get mass murdered by the military. The body count is the fucking same, and I haven't seen a single one of these "Americans are weak and stupid" fucks give a tangible, viable suggestion for how to remedy this situation.
StewedTomaters
I'm ready to hold my nose and pound it. The voting booth lever.
Whitebeardthepirate
consequences happen when the 99 percent make them happen.
tachyx
Americans think removing a tyrant is impossible magic and refuse to try.
TheSecondPiewackit
Dipshits like you think that you can take a day trip to the rockies from New York, or that throwing millions of protesters at the war machine we've created would be anything but a meat grinder. Quit cheering on obvious defeat.
Whitebeardthepirate
and what is the other option by the way? i'm curious because i'm waiting for consequences to happen from whatever everyone is doing now
TheSecondPiewackit
You're welcome to give us tips. We'd welcome the help, but so far, all I've seen the Coaches in the Stands say is "Go run face first into a bullet, and maybe the stink from the piles of bodies will make them go away."
Roganisms
How exactly do you think the US got its independence? With thoughts and prayers?
TheSecondPiewackit
By having homefield advantage. I don't know if you've noticed this, but between the rest of us and "Removing trump!" is the most technologically advanced military the world has ever seen, the largest navy the world has ever seen, the TWO largest air forces in the world, the most sophisticated intelligence apparatus in history, a corrupt court system, a corrupt legislature, and all of the richest people in the world... and they're right outside our fucking doors, not across a fucking ocean.
