I did not bother reading because that headline sounds sordid. If that’s not clickbait, it’d be childish, even my GOP standards. I know GOP is a party of immature and unintelligent people but that?

They went ahead and published the story so he must have failed his intimidation check

Propublica’s response should be a very formal version of “Fuck You!! Make Me!”

MAGA supporters demand absolute freedom – but only for themselves. They demand law and order, but only for others. And they don’t see any contradiction in their desires.

Fascists piggies always bemoaning how their free speech is always silenced yet the moment you call them out on their corruption, they always flip the script and try to cancel their opposition. Kick rocks.

GOP is irrationally afraid of suddenly being poor. overcompensate and make darkside deals and rationalize later. But make no mistake, GOP dealings are based in economic fear. They are the party of rigged systems.

Let’s give the readers digest version of what has happened
ProPublica has found evidence that the Republicant Party has been tampering with North Carolina’s Supreme Court. Moreover, it’s independence.
They give examples like moderated public funding for judicial races being eliminated and uncontrolled dark money taking over. There are a number other alarming examples of swaying the judiciary to conservative agendas and views.
ProPublica simply exposed 20 years of manipulation in its article and the Republicants don’t deny any of it. What the Republicants did was to threaten the independent ProPublica with retaliation.
MAGA repeatedly claims to be all about free speech, but only as long as that freeze speech says what they want said and is very belligerent to any media organization that wants to publish facts and leave it to the public to determine what they think.
MAGA only wants media that tells people what to think.

I’m the kind of person who says “fuck you” when given a threat or ultimatum. I suggest Democrats become the same.
