RICO the Republican Criminal Syndicate

Does this look, and smell (try not to step in it), of RICO activities being committed by Republican, government officials?

 

Massive amounts of evidence have accumulated in: FL, VA, GA, AZ, NY; Mueller, Smith, Senate Intelligence Committee reports, etc... This evidence details the voluntary transition of the Republican party to a criminal syndicate headed by the felon and pathological liar, who is the grifter-in-chief. The syndicate discards oath of office, rule of law and US Constitution whenever it is not convenient to adhere to the aforementioned documents.

Let the RICO prosecution of said syndicate begin.

Senate, bi-partisan, Intel Committee report on Russian interference confirms that the presidential campaigns of 2016 (hindered Democratic and assisted for Republicans) were, indeed, hacked by the Russians: crickets;

Mueller Report documents confirm that there were, at least, 10 counts of obstruction of justice by the Republicans involved in the 2016 presidential campaigns: crickets;

The government of Ukraine was asked to interfere in the 2020 presidential election campaign to get funding, already approved by Congress, released to the Ukrainian war effort.  President impeached, but not convicted, for Ukrainian funds being illegally withheld: crickets;


45 incited insurrection culminating in a violent attack on the US Capitol on 6 January 2021...  President impeached, but not convicted, for his involvement in the insurrection (which would have prohibited him from running for, or holding, any public/government office ever again): crickets;

45 took home government documents that were still the property of the United States and belonged in the National Archives of the USA.  The documents were transported illegally and stored within 45's property/properties, moved and hidden when their return was requested.  The federal government was forced to recover them using legally obtained, search warrants.  The court case around the document theft and potential espionage (improperly shared docs of a classified nature) was slow walked by a 45 appointed judge so that the case could not be concluded before 47 was sworn in to office: crickets;

SCOTUS Justice Alito flew flags at his properties that signified support for the insurrection at the US Capitol: crickets;

SCOTUS Justice Thomas took undeclared money and gifts from very wealthy persons who would have business before the court. Thomas should have, and did not, abstain from said cases: crickets;

SCOTUS Justice Thomas' wife was an active participant in the run-up to the insurrection at the US Capitol: crickets;

Thiel presented a well purchased person as a Republican candidate for Vice President in the elections (primaries and general) of 2024, so that the oligarchs would have a puppet in the White House should a 78 year old, 47th President be unable to finish the term: crickets;

SCOTUS majority expedites a case that blocks, at least, CO and ME from controlling access to each of the state's own primary ballots (prohibiting, via 14/3 Constitutional authority, 45 from running to be the 47th President): crickets;

SCOTUS majority expedites a ruling that the 45th President was immune from, not subject to, the rule of law. 46th President did not avail himself of the assumption that the ruling extended to his time in office.  47th President immediately operates as if the precedent does, in fact, still apply: crickets;

While 47 distracts with wildly unlikely ideas and executive orders, there were more executive orders, derived from (written by the authors of), “Project 2025,” (Orwell's, “1984,” made real) that were also being signed: crickets;

The signs of RICO inspired illegal, oath violating, and/or unconstitutional, Republican activity abound.

What are the federal government's Inspector Generals and/or the Department of Justice going to do about it?

Showing Those, Who Aided and Abetted Insurrection, the Exit.

The USA is in the throes of oligarchy, spiraling towards aristocracy, because the Republicans, in choosing to become a criminal syndicate, allowed 45 to be able to become 47; impeached and convicted 45 prevents the possibility of the 47 catastrophe.

The wealthy oligarchs needed 45/47 because they aren't able to do much of anything for themselves, except keep, for themselves, the money they don't pay in taxes, or employee wages and benefits.  However, they can buy primary candidates to oppose uncooperative legislators, and bribe SCOTUS justices in support of the grifter in chief.

Oligarchs and 45/47 are bullies... A bully is someone who talks a big game, but has an entourage of gullible goofs that mindlessly carry out the bully's wishes.  Goofs get into trouble for doing what the bully can't/wouldn't do for him/her self.

Are any of you: Elizabeth Warren, Jasmine Crockett, Mark Elias, Eric Holder, etc... able to start the process involved in dismissals from public office, based on 14/3 disqualification parameters, for  legislators and  justices who have aided and abetted the insurrectionist in chief?

If the legislators that voted against impeaching or convicting 45 are appropriately shown the exit, will there still be a quorum capable of doing the business of Congress?

If the SCOTUS Justices that disallowed the states of ME and CO the ability to control their own states' ballots (remove 45 from said ballots) are also, appropriately, ushered out the door... Will SCOTUS be able to function properly?

There's the exit!

 

The Inauguration Has Been Postponed Indefinitely...

14/3 (Section 3 of the 14^th Amendment to the US Constitution) specifies how one might be absolved (...Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability) but not who might charge someone with participation in insurrection.

45 did get impeached for inciting insurrection, but was not convicted; did not get enough votes to, “remove such disability.”

Does Trump slide, again, on a technicality?

Does the DOJ/AG create the path to another method for holding a body responsible for following, or not, their oath to protect and defend the US Constitution?

If there are no consequences for involvement in insurrection, this time, the precedent becomes, “repeat as often as one thinks it might be helpful to evade oath, law and Constitution.“

45, Congress and SCOTUS participated in the insurrection of 2020 and '21.

Trump should never be inaugurated again. Nor should he ever be allowed to hold any public office ever again. Contact: Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg, etc.. if a refund is requested.

FAFO, A Government Carol

FAFO
Sung to the tune of, 'Jingle Bells,'

14/3, 14/3, FA and we'll see;
oh what fun it is to watch;
the Republican, crime fam'ly!

Repeat as often as needed...

Addendum:
45/47 incited an insurrection;
Congressional Republicans didn't impeach and convict;
aiding and abetting insurrection;  
SCOTUS blocked CO and ME from controlling access to their 2024 Ballots;
also, aiding and abetting insurrection.

The second coming of the orange megalomaniac, if congress had done it’s job, could never have happened!

Take the reins: AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Maxwell Frost, David Hogg, etc...
I'd adopt y'all if I could!

My favorite authors: Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov and Alfred E. Neuman... 

Sending Insurrectionists on Their Way

There has never been a crowd more deserving of the consequences of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.

Violating the trust, that taking an oath of office has bestowed, means that a public servant has decided to put personal interest above government service.

Insurrection is the highest level of violation that an oath-bound, public official can accomplish. One doesn't get arrested and prosecuted, but it does get a person removed from office and banned from ever holding public office again; a body may violate that trust so severely only once.

Trump, and other sycophants attempting to remain subservient to the orange turd, not only committed said extreme violation of public trust, they have demonstrated a willingness to repeatedly violate said trust.

Time for 45/47, and his ilk, to be given the opportunity to seek employment elsewhere.

Waiting for Unicorns...

WAKE UP!!!  

People keep waiting for the remaining Republicans to get a back bone and stand up to, object, to the most egregious actions of the criminal, president-elect.  

The Republican party has already left, with plentiful vitriol, those with sufficient intestinal fortitude to oppose the criminal organization of the oligarchs and the orange menace.  The remaining legislative and judicial Republicans are terrified of the wealthy and powerful oligarchs behind the curtain; pulling 45/47s strings.  The strings connect  45/47 to the billionaires', Citizens United money.  Were any of the remaining Republicans to deny the oligarchs and their puppet, they would get a well financed primary challenger in the next election.  45/47 was selected by the oligarchs because, in spite of numerous flaws and crimes (many convictions and indictments), he has gotten elected multiple times.

There is no one, still claiming to be a  Republican, with a functioning backbone/intestinal fortitude, sufficient to oppose the orange menace's oligarchs.

By the 1970s, refer to the criminal activity that was Watergate, the Republican party was already showing displeasure (understatement) with the direction of the USA. Voting Rights and Civil Rights from the 60s, then women's liberation and healthcare in the 70s; DEI was finally taking off.

Around the start of the 21st century a pseudo-conservative, majority on SCOTUS shackled the nation with Citizens United, and the following decades gave us Presidential immunity from the rule of law.  In the 2024 elections said SCOTUS majority expedited blocking CO and ME from applying Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to keep 45 off the states' ballots; set a precedent that might have discouraged more states from controlling access to their own ballots.

The oligarchs, aristocrat wannabes, that powered the 2016 election of the orange disgrace to the Presidency were off to the races in 2024.  See also:

The Constitution was amended after the Civil War; the 14th Amendment was added. Said addition documented, unequivocally, that any type of activity related to insurrection against any state and/or the United States, in it's entirety, disqualified anybody from ever holding any public/government office that required taking, and abiding by, an oath.

Were the Attorney General to discover a backbone, he might note that Congress should have declared 45 ineligible for office because he incited an insurrection. Those who would not vote to impeach or convict 45 aided and abetted that insurrection.

A majority of SCOTUS justices also aided and abetted when they wouldn't allow CO & ME to 14/3, 45 off their states' 2024 ballots.  Those same justices had also crowned 45 with immunity from criminal accountability.

AG Garland could clear the path from oligarchy back to Democracy by cleaning out the offices of said insurrectionists; make those offices available to those who can abide by oath of office, rule of law and the Constitution.

I'd love to believe that Unicorns won't have to come first.

Restoring Democracy, From Oligarchy, in the USA

"It would be a dangerous delusion were a confidence in the men of our choice to silence our fears for the safety of our rights... Confidence is everywhere the parent of despotism. Free government is founded in jealousy (perhaps, “an abundance of caution,” instead), and not in confidence. It is jealousy (an abundance of caution) and not confidence which prescribes limited constitutions, to bind down those whom we are obliged to trust with power... Our Constitution has accordingly fixed the limits to which, and no further, our confidence may go... In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution." (Thomas Jefferson from the Draft Kentucky Resolutions, 1798)

Does the Federal AG (Attorney General) and/or state AGs have the ability to use Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to prevent electors from voting for the president-elect who had, demonstrably, incited insurrection in the capitol culminating on January 6th of 2021.  

If 45 had been appropriately impeached for insurrection he couldn't be president-elect now.  

Well purchased, pseudo-conservative, SCOTUS justices (who expedited rulings against CO and ME) kept 45 on those states' ballots in 2024.  How many other states would have modified their ballots, the way CO and ME did, if SCOTUS had not set the precedent; blocked the application of 14/3?  

The SCOTUS majority aided and abetted insurrection on multiple occasions, including the example above.

Time and again Republican officials in the executive, judicial and legislative branches of state and federal government have demonstrated that when abiding by oath of office, rule of law or Constitution would not result in the desired outcome, they abandoned each and every one of said regulatory restraints, repeatedly.  

The aforementioned disregard for inconvenient regulations culminated in insurrection against the United States of America...  Consequences are demanded.

Are electors obligated to vote only as the plurality/majority of the voters in their states did (for 45), as they do their Constitutionally assigned duty?  Can they vote for others (Harris/Walz) instead?

This lawlessness has demonstrated a very important and disappointing need to restore order by removing those (legislators, justices and a president-elect) who would not follow rules when they were inconvenient, from the offices they currently occupy, and prohibit those individuals from ever holding positions of power and responsibility, in state and/or federal bureaucracies, ever again.

The Republican party has clearly chosen to support and follow a convicted felon, who incited insurrection, into power at the extraordinary expense of the law abiding citizens of our nation.

The Constitution, especially Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, gives law enforcement agencies the authority to end this Republican, criminal, power grab.

The DOJ needs to quit making excuses, and protect Democracy, Constitution and  the rule of law from said criminal power grab!

Our nation, and the Democracies around the world, are depending on the USA to set the example...  

Do not allow  the criminal enterprise, the Republicans have chosen to become, to succeed.
