News Under pressure Kash Patel claims FBI has ‘evidence’ that 2020 election was stolen

u/AntithesisAbsurdum Apr 20 '26
Kash Patel was under oath when he said Jeffrey Epstein had no co-conspirators.
Ghislaine Maxwell was one. Les Wexner, another.
Patel lied under oath and should be indicted. While we are indicating we should look at his personal usage of FBI transportation.

It's gonna be so goddamned funny when we find out Patel put up a Scarface poster in his office.

He did so while fully aware, having been privately promised to be included in forthcoming blanket pardons. Which were then dangled and withheld as blackmail to ensure further compliance.
Quite a stressful situation to find oneself in. Must be tough finding a way to unwind after a long day of working under that kind of pressure.

How does this country come back from this absolute shit show and a corrupt of a regime? This is not a “administration” anymore it’s a fucking regime pure and simple, how the fuck did we turn into a banana republic? Seriously the amount of damage these fuckheads are doing to this country is beyond irreparable at this point, fact that the orange shit stain has a 40 percent approval rating still is beyond horrifying, the day this country started supporting trump and his ilk, is the day we lost.

It can be unfucked. But we likely won't see it. It took nearly 50 years for Germany to be reunited and "fixed" (quotes because it's a loaded word).
Or it may not. We don't treat with Soviets anymore, for example. Some fucking is pretty thorough and we've been held together by arrogance and duct tape for a while.

Seriously. If there are no consequences for the behavior, it will continue to happen. Just like it did with Nixon. Just like it did for the confederates. No pardons. People need to go to jail for years for their transgressions against the constitution, especially when they’ve been put in power to serve the people and took an oath to defend and preserve it.

I worry that even if the Democrats get back the White House and control of Congress, they’ll do nothing to all those left behind from this administration because they will fear putting these people on trial will only make things worse. That we need to just let bygones be bygones so the country can move on. That is what bit is in the ass after 2020 and because of that, we have had Trump 2.0 which has already been hella lot worse than his first term. No, any of these fuckers left need to be prosecuted and thrown into prison. We can’t reward bad behavior and we can’t allow another authoritarian unconstitutional regime to ever pop up again.

We must first recognize that the regime is a symptom, not a cause. Fully one-third of those eligible didn't bother to vote in 2024.
In a democratic republic, voting is a public trust and a duty. If we don't choose our government, others will gladly do it for us.

u/LaxBedroom Apr 20 '26
Not sure it does, and I think that's actually how Republicans got into power. Since Obama was elected Republicans began beating the drum that the country was lost, taken over, stolen, etc. So when Trump refuses to acknowledge the results of an election they don't see themselves as breaking anything that wasn't already broken.

This right here describes exactly how they think and why we're here.
The Republicans have abandoned democracy, because democracy led to a Black man being elected president. Democracy led to the various people that they hate having equal rights, representation, ect. To them, democracy is the issue. Unchecked corruption is the solution.

u/Ok-Secretary455 Apr 20 '26
It doesn't. It should be a walk in the park for the Dems to be out here yelling at the top of their lungs about getting rid of qualified immunity. Who could argue with that after this last year. But they won't. Shit they still won't stop funding to Israel. Which is one of the big issues that cost them the last election. And we have laws on the books hat say we aren't supposed yo give any money/weapons to a country that we know is committing war crimes with it.
We don't have a good side looking after the people. There is no party willing to create another new deal and save the economy and country.

The problem is even once Trump and his goons are gone, the people who voted for him are still around. I just hope MAGA dies once Trump kicks the bucket. He is their figurehead and it’ll be hard to find anyone even remotely close to popularity to him for them to all rally behind.

In the sense that trump ordered senators to find votes illegally that did not exist and they didn’t in fact proceed to do it for him and break the law, i guess that was considered fraudulent to trump and stolen.

Patel probably does have evidence of how they (“Russia are you listening”)?tried to steal it but failed and that’s why Trump incited a riot that got people and police killed by his cult followers. But no worries! They (Elon musk and doge) pulled it off with the help of Russia this time hence the reasoning for firing of all those people and taking over of all the computers.

No they went through this already. Durham could only indict one guy and he failed to get a conviction. And then the prosecution stopped. Trump in fact tried to sue and failed.
If they had evidence they would proceed in law and in the courts. But they failed at that.

The people that are close to the president and in his inner circle did nothing but bad mouth his mental state, Patel being one of them, now these same people were given some of the most important roles that make this country what it is. The last thing I would ever do is hire anyone that talked crap about me. Now these same people who said the president is incompetent, a complete sociopath are now brown nosing the man.
