A Death Spiral

Christopher Krebs, the first director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, who was fired by Trump for refuting claims of a stolen election, said yesterday that Republican leaders have "lost control" of the party's voter base.

"Without question. It's happening at four different levels, both state legislatures and state elected officials, some of the folks running for secretary of state in Arizona and Georgia, but we're also seeing it in the U.S. Congress," said Krebs.




"The minority whip was on Fox News this morning with Chris Wallace, and he was talking about how the election was effectively stolen, and he will not admit that Biden won," Krebs added, referring to Rep. Steve Scalise (why didn't that guy aim higher/fuck the legs), who still to this day will not state whether he believed the 2020 election was stolen, or that Biden was rightfully & truly elected POTUS.

Brennan noted that was an extraordinary remark for Krebs, a lifelong Republican, to make and asked how these claims continue to occur.

"They're afraid to speak up because they're afraid the former president is going to try to primary them, and then the other piece is that they've activated and lost control of their voting base, the people that are going to put them in power," Krebs said.

"It's gotten out of control, so, again, this is a death spiral. They've lost control, and they don't have the ability to rein it back in," Krebs added.

"They've lost conrol"

"This is a death spiral"

Yea, they all (most at least) ate way too much acid & drank way too much Kool Aid, (used as similes), and all the vomiting & saying your sorry ain't gonna help you/us now,

Fucking idiots.

Trump and his allies in Congress have opened the fucking door to Pandora's Box & now it's tooooo fucking late to close it

The cretins/misfits/criminals/mentally deranged/racists & every other fucking detriment to a civilization/society have/has been un-leashed by the Republican party onto America for they're selfish gains.

So, whose death spiral is he talking about?

The GOP's

Or our Nation's?

I think the latter.

Just a side note & it is that at one point I said to myself that at least Trump will destroy the Republican Party, and that was cool with me

But, I had a bad premonition though that he could/would do more ( I think I was the 1st here to add "Fuck Trump & I hope he rots in Hell" onto one's signature )

He did, didn't he?

He's ruined the USA & the World as we knew it

It will never be the same, again

And that is an undeniably a fucking fact.

Yes, the latter, or...both. A death spiral of roughly half the country is a death spiral of the country. I'm not saying that he's wrong, only that if a person believed that and wanted to avoid what comes with it(poverty/murder/rape/starvation/etc.), they should either leave, or be preparing for it.

it's coming from bottom up- VOTE THIS NOVEMBER 2! yup received my ballot EM and yet days later..no ballot. it literally comes from 1 mile away..this town is so small town when I move to another address they can find me..i don't know how the fvck they do it..shit like this hasn't happened since like 1970 and lived in a small town in NJ.

Wooo mail in ballots, I very much enjoy reading through the voter info book to find out about all the random provisions and such. Only signs locally are about school boards, but for those I just ask a teacher.

Really curious how elections go from here on out, the big lie playbook is going to lead to war.

Or at least a handful of dead domestic terrorists as they eat their gun after hurting innocent people in their misguided brainwashed state.

The midterms will tell the tale, ought to be interesting. I haven's seen a damn thing to try and stabilize the economy, possibly, because they simply don't know how

We will see. The Republicans really know how to destroy a good economy and do everything they can to stop the Democrats from doing anything other than stopping the bleeding.

Like when they passed this without any Republican support.
