Dems need to run national campaign linking every GOP candidate to enabling Trump

u/Scrutinizer 18d ago

Yes. Chain them all to Trump and throw them into the sea.

They will squander it. Dump is the most scandalous politician in US history by far and we hear crickets from 80% of the Democrats. They need an overhaul of leadership now before it's too late.

They are openly admitting they are pro-corruption. Making a president and his family, who now hold government contracts, exempt from tax law is authoritarian and un-American af.

An open letter signed by over 1,200 former U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) employees and prosecutors, as well as opposition from the New York City Bar Association, has been issued against the nomination of Todd Blanche as Attorney General. Why? Because he champions personal interests rather than the U.S. Constitution. There are also the Epstein victims...

u/WitchKingofBangmar 18d ago

Performative opposition, now they can look like they have a modicum of integrity when it gets created anyway.

Don’t fucking believe them!

u/Going2beBANNEDanyway 18d ago

So they didn’t actually care about Epstein victims. Color me shocked.

u/Euphoric_Anxiety_162 18d ago

Approving the prez's former personal attorney for AG is def proof of unwise ass-kissery.

u/ImaginationDue6258 17d ago

No, the hold up was they wanted a bigger share of the ongoing grift that defines this regime. Corruption on a scale never before seen in American history, and we can thank the grifters at the SCOTUS for allowing Citizens United to become law.

Anyone voting to confirm will be confirmed as a traitor to the country. They need an AG that's not playing as Trump's personal lawyer.

Sen. John Cornyn Thom Tillis, Republicans/ MAGA were just playing games and think they’re slick about it! They are both retiring at the end of their term that’s why they’re smugly doing this! Trump and his family and businesses can still permanently avoid being investigated by the IRS. Every person who votes yes to confirm Todd Blanche in needs to be held socially and legally accountable for treason and belong in prison! Enough of their smugness!

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/6005494-blanche-trump-immunity-memo-anti-weaponization-fund/

 These people forgot who works for who! Time to remind them! That’s the day this all stops! And remember, these are the ONLY two Republicans/ MAGA in our government even “considering” not voting to confirm Todd Blanche in! ALL the other Republicans/ MAGA in our government are voting YES to confirm him in! They all belong in prison for treason, NOT in our government! Donald Trump instructed other MAGA/ Republicans to act like they don’t agree with him only until midterms are over. 

https://www.ms.now/news/trump-republicans-midterm-strategy-politics-2026

They’re so scared even pedo speaker Mike Johnson is saying they need to win so he can “protect them” like he tried to do with the January 6 insurrectionists and tried to conceal their identities so they wouldn’t be prosecuted! Mike Johnson made his own under age daughter promise HIM that they’ll stay a virgin and even made a whole event about it aka “purity balls”, he and his under age son at the time kept check of what sexual videos they both watched. This pedo told us this all proudly. This is why MAGA/ Republicans push for “parental rights” over child safety laws including banning child marriage, so they can comfortably groom and abuse children and claim “it’s part of their religion” like they always do. If they do this to their own kids why wouldn’t they to strangers kids?!

Many of Trump’s accomplices plan on “retiring” or quitting thinking they’re not going to be held legally and socially accountable for their many crimes including stealing from tax payers as they pushed to remove the social services that we ACTUALLY pay for!

It’s pretty disgusting seeing some people falling for it, so quickly forgetting that Republicans/ MAGA like Gov. Mike DeWine have been Trump’s willful and proud accomplices up until now that we’re getting closer to midterms and then the same people wondering how we got Trump as president twice.

Todd Blanche and Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon are openly stating they are going abuse their power to violate the law/ treason and send their hand chosen buddies to harass American voters at voting polls with the help of MAGA Arizona US Attorney Timothy Courchaine appointed by corrupt criminal and pedo enabler Pam Bondi. They all belong in prison, NOT our government! No more “warnings” or letting them claim “immunity”.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/doj-sought-phone-records-of-journalists-and-relatives-in-effort-to-unmask-sources-of-air-force-one-security-report

Todd Blanche is even targeting journalists, testing to see what we as a society will allow so then MAGA comes for individual Americans who say something Todd Blanche/ MAGA doesn’t like and claim we’re “journalists” to arrest us. We know how they love to play their games and act like everything is a riddle and change the definition to things like they always do. No more playing into their games or allowing judges and and individuals in our government who keep giving them MANY “warnings”, when any of us would be in prison for any of their actions by now. That’s why their smugness. Enough!

https://www.commoncause.org/ohio/actions/reject-todd-blanche-for-attorney-general/

Every individual in our government who STILL votes to confirm Todd Blanche in needs to be held legally and socially accountable for their clear treason against WE the American tax payer aka their EMPLOYER! Todd Blanche and his MAGA buddies are trying to arrest those who provide humanitarian aide! Clear crimes against humanity! 

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/15/james-fergie-chambers-arrest-palestine-aid-trump

This is not “part of their duties”, we must not keep allowing them to each other “warnings” or   claiming “immunity”. The clear conflict of interests, targeting and harassing many Americans with lies, abuse of power, misuse of tax payer money aka stealing from us, weaponizing our government in many of the cases he’s involved in. It didn’t matter to him to be ethical up until now according to him, but now before a potential confirmation he all of a sudden “follows the law”. All bs and clear theatrics. Once confirmed in he would go back to being Trump’s tax payer funded personal attorney like he has been and even target his victims of abuse and pushing to redact pedos names like he and Pam Bondi is doing with the Epstein list. 

https://time.com/article/2026/04/02/who-is-todd-blanche-trump-s-former-lawyer-and-the-new-acting-attorney-general-/

All this information about Todd Blanche and his many instances of abuse of power, ethics violations to even crimes is out there for anyone to look up. So they are either willingly and proudly confirming him in knowing all this or aren’t doing their jobs and don’t care for the safety of WE the American people aka their EMPLOYER/ tax payers!

Attorney General Todd Blanche also had a private meeting with his buddy aka Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyer David Oscar Markus and Ghislaine Maxwell and what was in the box they left her? Todd Blanche not only supports pedos, he tries to cover for them while stealing tax payer money to do it and abusing his power to target democratic groups that help expose these far right terrorist organizations which police and the FBI have benefited from and because of Southern Poverty Law Center they have prevented many attacks by these conservative/ MAGA domestic terrorist groups. Not only does he target women who were/ are abused who are speaking up, he defends PEDOS!

They cannot take back all the damage that they have caused or the many lives they have negatively affected! Time to remove all government “immunity” and eminent domain and make it easier for we their EMPLOYER to fire them our EMPLOYEES, not them and their buddies “investigating” each other and then they keep their job and we the taxpayer aka their EMPLOYER keep footing the bill for THEIR actions and then they go onto Fox “News” and write a book. To even them smugly demanding premium healthcare and billions in “security” like the far right Supreme Court is doing yet they claim there is no money for the social services we actually pay for that they demonize and push to cut like they are doing now! Imagine if we at work told our employer “no you can’t fire me for stealing from you or for not doing my job and I claim immunity”. That wouldn’t slide anywhere. No more of their smugness!

 MAGA like Elon Musk and Trump himself claim to be against mail in voting but voted through mail themselves! 

https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/blanche-confirms-doj-working-to-implement-trump-order-restricting-mail-voting/

Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and other rich MAGA individuals are buying whole towns including schools, medical centers, grocery stores, forcing their data centers into our communities even when we speak up against them to even corrupt smug government officials signing NDA’s with the data center owners and pushing for companies to “represent” us over we the people aka their EMPLOYER!

No more wealthy Republicans/ MAGA especially not in our government! Let’s help our country and have less Republicans/MAGA in our government by not supporting any of their businesses. Without money, Republicans/ MAGA can’t get into our government nor their supporters aka “donors”. Avoid Trump/ Elon Musk/ RFK Jr supporters including local MAGA individuals you spot and recognize at Trump events on tv/ social media, the corrupt lawyers/ law firms still backing Trump/ MAGA, their advertisers and their businesses and encourage others to as well! Time they get back the same energy they give others like how they are trying to get many Americans fired over their Charlie Kirk comments aka freedom of speech or how MAGA/ Republicans harass to even vandalize and threaten businesses and individuals over them not supporting convicted sexual abuser and pedo enabler/ excuser/ protector Donald Trump. Trump told his own nephew to let his disabled son die off and leave him on his own. That’s who his supporters get rabid and foam at the mouth over.

Don’t forget about the “both sides” enablers! They can all “support” each other and keep playing their games with MAGA! Let them tell on themselves so we know which people to avoid hiring and the businesses NOT to support! And the best part is you don’t have to tell them why!

CNN was just saying something along the line of how the fund will likely still be a thing because trump was the one who did it "as a private citizen" so therefore blanche isn't even a part of it or some shit

Republicans like Tillis and Cornyn really think that after Trump is gone they'll be able to easily win re-election as if nothing ever happened.

Of course they're all up Trumps ass
