No, they need to give him a Canary trap so they know exactly how the information is getting leaked. It is important to understand the way these back channels are working so we can catch the intermediaries as well.
I second what Nudding said. This was emaculately well written, and I am thankful for having the opportunity to read it. You perfectly elucidated the existential angst of everyone who is paying attention to the slow motion collapse of Amerikan Empire.
I agree, but that is vastly different from States just unilaterally disregarding legal precedent. If we get to that point we are way beyond mere protest.
It has never been about racial/religious bigotry. Some of us sincerely don't like people who act like fucking cunts as though it was their calling in life. That prick Netanyahu fits squarely in that box for me. I don't give a shit what his beliefs or ethnicity happen to be, he is an evil, despotic, freak who needs to be punished for his crimes against humanity. I feel the same way about Dick Cheney, just as an example.
Your statement about recounts makes no sense. We can still hold elections on a state by state basis, and determine the winner via popular vote. That would not require a full 50 state recount. It would require individual recounts in states where the votes were within the recount margin. This is precisely what the National Popular Interstate Vote Compact is attempting to do right now, and what should have been done long ago.
I think it is even worse than that. He isn't simply a puppet, he is an ideologue that perfectly embodies the repressed rage of a class of people who believe that life is a zero sum game. What we are dealing with is a death cult. They legitimately believe they are chosen by god to dominate the earth, and every single time they have gained power they have commit or attempted to commit genocide in the name of purifying society and bending it to their will. This is the ultimate existential threat as far as I am concerned, and why I am a staunch anti-theist. No Christian can ever be truly trusted because if and when they take power they will all fall in line because the alternative is sacrificing themselves for a cause they do not believe in.
As much as I despise Hillary Clinton, in hindisght I have to give the bitch her flowers for calling out Tulsi as a backdoor Russian asset. At the time I thought that was her just beating the war drums, and posturing because of her own political weakness. But every day that goes by it looks more and more plausible given the serious, nefarious nature of Russian interference in the US political system. At the end of the day though, her motivations are irrelevant. Anybody who supports Donald Trump is the enemy, and they are dead to me for life. Fuck Tulsi Gabbard.

You don't need a jondom if you just use the ol' jildo.
