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.

Please leave me alone.

Like I said, you can stop responding any time you want. You just seem to need to get the last word in so you can try to make me look like a villain?

at this point you're absolutely just harassing me.

Not even at all, dude. I tried reasoning with you and you went on the attack instead of engaging in good faith. That's on you.

There's no dialogue whatsoever, just you saying awful stuff about me.

Awful stuff like "you misunderstood the original comment and attacked them for no reason" and "when multiple people explained your mistake you completely ignored it and started acting victimized"?

You ignored all the "dialogue" that was offered to you, descended into petty attacks, and now you complain that there's no dialogue?

At this point across multiple threads here for multiple days.

Liar. Your account is one day old. How could I possibly have engaged with you across multiple days? And what "multiple threads"? This is the only one I have any recollection of engaging you on. And since your account is one day old, you would think I'd remember if there's another.

You can let this thread die any time you want. Just stop responding. But if it somehow gives you some sense of satisfaction to tell me I'm hurting your feelings, well, I'm not here to kink shame, but you should at least ask me for consent first.

What's even your goal?

I already told you, and it was clear from the start: to stick up for the original commenter you replied to and treated unfairly. What is your goal?

Would running me off of this site be enough, or do you need a fuckin suicide to cum?

I'm not responsible for the choices you make. Threatening suicide to try ladening me with guilt is a manipulation tactic. Especially while insinuating that it was somehow my intention to make you do it.

Go get help if you need it. Telling you that you were wrong about being an asshole to somebody for misunderstanding their comment isn't pushing you to suicide. If that's enough to push you over the edge, you were already going to jump anyway. Go to the hospital.

Come back to the fediverse when you're more stable, and as long as you engage in good faith then I guarantee you I won't be calling you out as a troll.

    Please leave me alone. This simple request is the only self-defense I can offer to your endless onslaught of bile. It's so obviously not ok to treat anyone like this. Please leave me alone. This is day 2, and you spread your hate into a conversation I was having with someone else yesterday. If you're genuinely curious about the history of this account you can read it, it's short simple and public. All you seem interested in is bullying and "beating" me. You have superior tech, superior resources, and for whatever reason berating me over and over is what you're choosing to do with them. Please leave me alone. You talk about consent and I very explicitly do not want what you are continuing to force on me.

    As I've told you multiple times, you can stop responding at literally any moment and then this conversation will be over.

    This is day 2, and you spread your hate into a conversation I was having with someone else yesterday.

    What hate? I told you to stop being a jerk to someone after misconstruing their comment and making assumptions about them. How is that hate?

    If you're genuinely curious about the history of this account you can read it, it's short simple and public.

    Just skimmed through, as you invited me to do, and as I suspected, this is the only thread I've ever interacted with you on. So yes, you were lying about this "multiple threads" thing.

    You have superior tech, superior resources,

    Not sure what you even mean by that, seeing as I'm typing this out on a budget-tier phone. But you've been making assumptions about your counterparts this entire conversation, so I shouldn't be surprised.

    Please leave me alone. You talk about consent and I very explicitly do not want what you are continuing to force on me.

    How about this: you leave me alone. You think this is a one-way conversation? You think you're not participating in this and keeping it going every bit as much as I am?

    That's your hypocrisy and exceptionalism, your pedestal-standing, your victim complex, the very thing I pointed out from the start. Nobody here is harassing you. As you stated, this is a public forum. If you don't want to be a part of the conversation, simply don't participate. No one is forcing you.

    You can even block me, I don't even care. Just stop pretending I'm somehow "doing this to you" when you keep putting your own hand on the hot stove over and over and over.

    Please leave me alone. I have as much right to exist and communicate as anyone and should not be repeatedly put in a position of having to assert otherwise. Which is all I am doing at this point. I am still here, I will not be silenced or ostracized, and all I want from you is to be left alone. If you don't have better tech, you are just plain better able to communicate than I am. I can't break out quotes or copy text like you do, so I can't pull in the example where you jump into another conversation calling me a troll etc. And I don't want to. All I want is for you to leave me alone. Please.
