You mean Clarence Thomas didn't put his criminal thumb on the scale to tip the five-justice majority in Bush v. Gore, which halted the manual recount of disputed ballots in Florida, effectively awarding the presidency to George W. Bush?
Either that or Roger Stone, Joel Kaplan, and a host of other deplorable people failed to stop the recount with their riot.
I love to imagine the police actually doing their job and breaking it up the second that Republican Congressman gave the order to riot.
I have a clear memory in high school in 1991 of seeing a newspaper clipping posted about the Anita Hill testimony. I had no idea how bad Republican corruption was going to get.
“She only said all that to get famous” was something I heard a lot of during Lewinsky. Violent barf.
ginny helped the Heritage Foundation in 2000, the brook bro's riot.
kavanaugh was involved in the shit show as well. funny stuff that.
It's wild that whole a full state recount would have been a Gore victory and we know what, but the requested specific recounts would actually have been insufficient to change the outcome.
RCV would have been easily a Gore win.
what the fuck
why would you do this to me
why would you make me cry on a perfectly fine day
We are in the worst timeline and that’s an inconvenient truth.
😭 Why can’t I live in this timeline?! 😭
I just wish 2024 went different. It's weird being converted into what is essentially a Russia level fascist state in less than a year. Dump constantly speaks about being the president that's done more than any in the last 100 years, and I don't see why people aren't believing him. We're not getting out of this hole in our lifetime. It's over. The highest office has legitimized double think, propaganda, lying, criminal rape, etc. We're cooked as far as bringing respect or honor to government goes.
Make your own timeline.
Join a local mutual AID ASAP, and/or a local chapter of a grassroots led political action group (if there are non, look into how to start one).
Forget doomscrolling, forget touching grass, let's fix this fucking world together!
Wake me up in the timeline Carter won his second term.
That really is the moment it really started going wrong. Reagan is like trump only reagan was a actor.
Many horrible things that were preventable, happened.
But you know why what happened?
It was the very same mediocre electoral stupidity we see today, the precious, lazy assholes, easily-manipulable into inaction, who latched onto the murdoch/limbaugh/drudge report propaganda of the time.

Trump makes you wish you had Bush back
"And who is chad and why does he keep hanging around??"
You son of a bitch
Oh and Nader got 5% of the vote so we actually have a real populist party
I think the 9/11 attacks would've happened regardless.
Let's go back and find out.
Maybe if the administration wasn't staffed with incompetent ghouls, they would've taken Ahmad Shah Massoud's warnings more seriously.
The president was briefed and didn't take it seriously. It's 50/50.
Maybe, but keep in mind the USS Cole bombing happened right before the election. The stories from the transition were that the Clinton people tried to stress that Al Qaeda was a high priority, but the incoming Bush people ignored them because they cared more about finding an excuse to invade Iraq.
It's the guy who invented the internet!
He never claimed to invent the internet. He sponsored the legislation that funded the development of DARPAnet.
Harambe? 🥺 It's so good to hear your voice 😭
