Roger Stone Caught on Tape Discussing Trump’s Plan to Challenge 2024 Election

Why aren't these guys in jail? Seriously. I mean, I know the theory of the rule of law and all, but even our widely-acclaimed greatest president suspended habeas corpus when insurgent seditionists tried to overthrow the Union.

How would he know? Trump isn't supposed to talk with felons.

I wonder if they're actually dumb enough to try the false electors scheme twice in a row?

They got caught are being convicted right now for doing it in 2020, and everybody is expecting it now.

I'm a Republican that does their own Research and even though the election hasn't happened yet I ALREADY KNOW TRUMP LOST UNFAIRLY because of Sleepy Joe Biden being UNFAIR!

The Republicans get away with so much despicable action and each time the Dems get pants by the audacity of the attempt. That's how we are here now.

The conservatives will try absolutely anything, up to and including armed insurrection. Now with AR15s, and probably with bumpstocks fitted.

Don't think that it could never happen. The MAGA element love being underestimated.

I get fundraising texts occasionally. I don't know why. But the one that came on the heels of the conviction had a section of fine print declaring what the money was for. It included a "recount challenge fund". This is in the open.

I'm not going to advocate violence for this guy, but can we bring back the pillory or something? Him and Steve Bannon both.

This shit is going on and yet there’s STILL people whining and suggesting no one vote.

It blows my mind.

Duh.

It’s astounding to me that a second January sixth isn’t at the top of people’s minds this go round.

Not because it’ll be successful (although there’s always a chance) but because we already have elected officials who believe that trump won the 2020 election and there will only be more this time around.

What’s the long term effect of legitimizing disbelief in a functioning democracy? America never was one, but what does it mean when there’s double or triple digit numbers of elected officials who publicly say so?

The usual explanation for distrust in government has nothing to do with people recognizing reality and changing their views based on it but instead blames that change on lack of bread and circuses, no basics of life and no distraction from reality.

We certainly don’t have the basics of life, but the distraction machine is running like a champ slaps hood you could fit like seven more dissociative technologies in this sucker!

What combination of lack of basic necessities and distractions are driving people’s belief (true or false!) that the election was stolen and that our fake democracy is actually fake?

Bro looks like he's a decrepit dollar store ken doll

Of course the orange turd is going to challenge it, this shouldn't surprise anyone. He wasn't even given a slap on the wrist for inciting a mob to try to overthrow the government. Why wouldn't he try again?

Stone is just a useful idiot which also shouldn't surprise anyone.

Man, the ballots aren't even printed yet and they're already planning their "Nuh-uh!!!!!!!" for when they lose. Truly, this is the strength and fortitude you expect out of your fascist leaders. Very strong and confident.

Yeah it was bad (full video also out there)

Stone: The lights are on, but no one's home.

Why does trump and his cronies look all weird and creepy

“That may not be necessary,” Stone continued. “There are technical, legal steps we have to take to try to have a more honest election.”

Fixed it: “That may not be necessary,” Stone continued. “There are technical, legal steps we have to take to try to have the appearance of a more honest election.”

Stone noted during the conversation that the Trump campaign is attempting to change state voting laws and plans to immediately file a number of lawsuits seeking to change the results should the former president lose again, as Trump allies did in Michigan and several other states in 2020.

This is looking grim. We might have to actually fight on this one. Sigh…

That thumbnail is terrifying. Genuinely thought it was a dude wearing a roger stone mask wtf

Stone looks like the bad guy from Star Trek: Generations on a prosperity gospel infomercial trying to sell you on a scam.

I don't know if anyone else has pointed this out, in this photo especially, Roger Stone looks like a caricature of Mr. Burns from The Simpsons.

The "person" doesn't look human at all....

I guess I gotta appreciate that these people are so incompetent.

Also caught on tape: "Pardon me."

i'm pretty sure that historians will look back on this and agree that a wholesale slaughter of conservatives would have been the best course of action.

I am shocked... SHOCKED I tell you!

Same thing happened with Bannon before the 2020 election. It won't make a difference to the cult
