Republican Georgia state Sen. Colton Moore on Tuesday told “War Room” host Steve Bannon that he plans to push the legislature to defund Fulton District Attorney Fani Willis’ prosecution of former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants, arguing that Trump’s prosecution threatens to ignite a “civil war.” Moore complained that indicted fellow state Sen. Shawn Still is going to have to spend “a million dollars” to defend himself in the case. “It’s just like Nazi Germany,” Moore claimed. “I mean, they want to call us the Nazis and their actions are Nazism.”

    You’re right, the US will fall long before it moves the slightest bit left wing. Which is probably a good thing all considered. The first iteration of an experiment is rarely successful, and the US laid the ground work for the EU which again is an improvement on the model of mostly independent states with baseline common values in need of common defense. But when you need worker’s rights again, and you will – we’ll be there again. When you need civil rights again, and you will – we’ll be there again. We’re really, really good at surviving right-wing and fascist regimes. Really good.

        Sorry you forgot the reason you’re not currently locked in a factory with a gun pointed at your head for a chance to win MineCorp FunBux is because of red state socialists committing some pretty severe acts of violence against the state and US military during strikes. In revisionist history, nothing at all happened at Blair Mountain.

          Which job will you have on the commune?

          I’m going to do astrology readings.

            Honestly carpentry and a bit of gardening; what I do in my free time now. I’d also probably still be doing computer work, since you know, technology isn’t incompatible with socialism or communism. It’s really a weird thought that we’d need to go full anarcho-primative to have human rights again; as if technology did not exist under any other economic system. I’ve never met one of you that can explain how the soviet union had computers if socialism means no iphone.

              It was a joke, because we’ll both be doing forced manual labor.
