She Won, Part II: Seven Judges. Direct-to-Cell Satellites. A Hijacked Election. [View all]

Last edited Thu Jun 19, 2025, 10:24 AM - Edit history (1)

How the Federalist Society’s judicial pipeline and a new network of 265 low-Earth orbit DTC satellites (Musk’s*)cleared the runway for Trump’s return to power.

We’ve already broken down the digital and satellite infrastructure. Now, we’re stepping inside the courtrooms—and following the judges—who strategically removed all accountability hurdles between Trump and the White House.

Snip

The term “nuclear option” sounds dramatic, but what unfolded was exactly that: a procedural detonation that reshaped the U.S. judiciary—and cleared the runway for Donald Trump’s legal invincibility. In 2017, Mitch McConnell pulled the nuclear trigger for Supreme Court confirmations. Facing a filibuster on Trump’s nomination of Neil Gorsuch, McConnell changed the rules to force him through with just 51 votes.


• 3 Supreme Court justices: Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett
• Over 200 lower court judges, all fast-tracked under the new simple-majority rules

Snip

Just seven days after Trump lost the 2020 election to President Joe Biden, the Senate rammed through Judge Aileen Cannon—a Federalist Society loyalist—to the federal bench, again via the nuclear option. The seat? It would later oversee Trump’s classified documents case.

Think about that. Before he even walked out of the White House with stolen materials and a failed insurrection attempt, Donald Trump had already secured the judge who would protect him. He wasn't just breaking the law—he was fortifying his legal escape route in advance, with an assist from Senate Republicans.

Snip

Trump’s allies—under the guise of investigating voter fraud—illegally breached election equipment in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, and Colorado. What should have been a five-alarm fire in American democracy was instead buried beneath strategic delays, bureaucratic filings, and a crowded judicial calendar.

Yes. I have said that controlling the results in the House and Senate were part of the equation. yellow dahlia Jun 19 #33
Sherrod Brown was one of the seats that was blatantly stolen by the very corrupt silicon valley money in Ohio BComplex Jun 20 #45
Agreed. yellow dahlia Jun 20 #49
If Brown's seat was blatantly stolen, why do you suppose Brown he hasn't so much as complained? tritsofme Jun 20 #50
I think it's more delusional to believe that the republicans won. BComplex Jun 20 #51
So why do you suppose Brown hasn't said anything about an election that was blatantly stolen from him? tritsofme Jun 20 #52
LOL, does that make Brown delusional for believing he lost his own election? tritsofme Jun 20 #53
