Don Jr. and Eric Trump savaged leading Republicans for not defending their father
[Bus Insider] President Donald Trump's older sons, Eric and Donald Jr., slammed top Republicans on Twitter on Thursday, accusing them of not sufficiently defending their father as election results come in.

Donald Jr. accused "2024 GOP hopefuls" of a "total lack of action," while Eric suggested that those who did not stand up for Trump were "sheep." In response, several top Republicans appear to have stepped up to support the president.

The Trump sons' rallying cries came a few hours before the president made a White House speech filled with unsubstantiated accusations of voter fraud and complaints about "phony polls." The Trump campaign has filed lawsuits in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, and Georgia to contest their vote counts, though some have already been tossed out.

The lack of GOP support on these claims apparently irked the president's sons, who accused Republicans of cowardice and of prioritizing future political chances over defending their father.

Donald Jr. tweeted: "The total lack of action from virtually all of the '2024 GOP hopefuls' is pretty amazing.

"They have a perfect platform to show that they're willing & able to fight but they will cower to the media mob instead. Don't worry, @realDonaldTrump will fight & they can watch as usual!"

#1 The lack of GOP support on these claims apparently irked the president's sons

"Irked" a lot of other people as well. But as Harry Truman was quoted as saying:

"If you want a friend in D.C., buy a dog."

#2 ^ The issue isn't friendship. Failure to stand up is being noted, they will ultimately pay a heavy price regardless of which way this turns out.

#4 Members of an incipient Republican party first met in February 1854. Less than six years laater, in 1860, they won a presidential election under Lincoln. That party is now dead and it is up to Trump to create something new. History bears repeating.

#5 Start the takeover now. Take the GOP from the inside. Start prepping primarily opponents, but more importantly start taking over precinct and county party leadership. MRGA. Make the Republicans Great Again. First targets? RINOs in safe Red areas, especially Senatorial races coming up in 2022, and safe Representative seats, like in Alabama, Texas, West Virginia, etc. Build a core group to control enough seats to make the RINOS fall in line.

Make MAGA into a national movement to reclaim the GOP, reaching out to minorities, like John James in MI, and Kimberly Klacik in Baltimore.

#6 This isn't about Donald Trump.

Donald Trump's career isn't that important.

The "They're after you." meme is not only poignant but also factually true.

#7 This isn't about Donald Trump. This isn't about the Republican Party.

This is about two pillars of our democracy - the press and the institutions of federal law enforcement. Each has been captured and corroded by sick, degraded individuals who are making war upon truth and justice.

There is no way we can continue believing that we have a Republic when our media throttles access to a mountain of evidence that a candidate and his family are corrupt tools in hock to our mortal enemy.

And we have no rule of law when our intelligence agencies fabricate and spread completely bogus, preposterous rumors alleging same about the opponent of the candidate who's actually corrupt and compromised.

Now we have an absurd, third-world, tinpot dictator electoral process involving millions of mail-in ballots that mysteriously appear, no chain of custody at all, separated already from their secure envelopes before any independent observer can even try to verify they match their purported senders' names and IDs -- and overwhelmingly, comically stacked in favor of the candidate favored by the party that dominates the local election and postal offices.

And we're supposed to buck up, salute their anointed shit for brains corrupt demented puppet and sing Hail to the Chief.

FUCK OFF.

These crimes by all three groups -- the media/big tech, the intelligence agencies, the corrupt Democrat machine -- these assaults on our traditions, our laws and our Constitution cannot be tolerated.

This brazen theft must not stand. No, no again NO

#8 Texas has started arresting people for election fraud. A guy who submitted 137 fraudulant ballots.

#9 This election is bogus. The people who rallied in the millions for Trump now must come out once more and converge upon Philadelphia, Detroit, Atlanta, Raleigh, Milwaukee, Las Vegas.

Go to the ballot processing centers in the tens of thousands.

Make noise and demand that Republican observers be allowed entry.

Demand a complete audit, videotaped and witnessed by at least two observers from each party, of EVERY SINGLE VOTE registered in every one of those fraud-infested shithole city ballot-counting halls.

#10 2020-11-07 Lincoln won because of the electoral college. He did not win more than 50% of the popular vote.

#11 Ordinary people are done.

I was raised to be a lady, and ladies don’t curse, but fuck these motherf'rs to hell and back for what they’ve done to me, and mine, and my country. All we Joe Blow Americans ever wanted was a little patch of land to raise a family, a job to pay the bills, and at least some illusion of freedom, and even that was too much for these human parasites. They want it all, mind, body and soul. Damn them. Damn them all.
