Attorney General Todd Blanche has declined to pledge DOJ’s independence from the White House and would not rule out similar suits in other states

Donald Trump says he ordered the Department of Justice to sue the state of Alaska in an effort to block the results of a U.S. Senate election from being certified, unless the incumbent Republican wins.

Government attorneys filed a lawsuit Friday arguing that the presence of Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. on the ballot would confuse voters who support the sitting senator, Daniel S. Sullivan, in the unusual matchup of two candidates with the same name up against a Democratic candidate.

“I’m the one that said do it,” Trump told reporters Friday. “They have two Dan Sullivans.”

Trump’s admission of an extraordinary intervention in the nation’s elections follows the president’s threats to overhaul election administration and assert federal control before critical midterm elections with the balance of power in Congress, and fate of his final years in office, at stake.

You're not fucking serious. From the start you went on the attack, I came to the defense of somebody I don't even know because you were being unreasonable. And then you start attacking me, deflecting all my attempts at reasoning with you, and then accusing me of being callous towards minorities because I had the gall to remind you that some people are in extremely vulnerable situations right now so maybe you shouldn't be going around shaming people for leaving the country when you don't know a thing about their background? And you say I'm wielding them as a weapon?

If you actually knew a gotdamn thing about what it's like to be queer in a right-wing area then you wouldn't be claiming that willpower alone is enough to build solidarity while also claiming that having a supportive community is somehow not a privilege.

Everything you've said has been deflection and blame, you've offered nothing of substance besides your heartfelt desire to be a martyr and pull everyone down with you. Stop romanticizing victimhood. It fucking sucks, and if you had any real empathy you would understand that. Let people do what they need to to survive, and if that means getting to safety before it's too late then let them do so without lumping shame on them for not being fools.

If you're not having fun then stop replying, nothing is compelling you to do so. Your account is one fucking day old, so calling this "your worst interaction to date" doesn't mean shit. Try not being an asshole and then crying foul when somebody calls you out on your shit.

The original commenter was not calling "the american left" bootlickers, as was obvious from their comment, as everyone else here easily recognized. And the fact that you're still digging in about that tells me you're being disingenuous, you came here to start shit, and this whole fucking conversation has been a waste of time because you're a troll and I just need to stop feeding you.

    I did not read this one and consider this harassment. Again, please leave me alone.
