I remember in 2020 watching the video of the counting in Atlanta suspended, and after everyone left, they pulled boxes out from under a table and continued counting. This doesn't surprise me.
Off topic M. Sim, but I just ran across this, and not to toot my own horn, but I think it bears out my previous prediction. ESG and corporate DEI still have a long "wilt" to go, but the wheels of fiduciary investing are like the wheels of justice, and just (pun intended) as relentless. Of course they still have a loooong way to reach proper plumb.
We can all agree that Trump isn’t the best candidate, (who is though?) but doesn’t mean there wasn’t full on shenanigans and vote rigging to stop his next presidency.
America will have 2 bad choices come election.
I’d not vote Biden but I’d vote a good independent over trump.
The way I feel defending Trump is the same way I felt defending Alex Jones -- it's not about the person, it's about the message being sent. Trump certainly has his many flaws, but as a President, I thought he did a surprisingly good job policy-wise
Imagine if he hadn't made Pence his Covid czar and hadn't put Jared in charge of PPE and ventilator procurement.
Imagine if he'd had the nose to smell how rotten Fauci is and convened a meeting with people like Jay Bhattacharya and Scott Atlas, just to hear what they said and read the evidence on which they based their views.
I know all the forces marshalled against him, the complete surrender of all Western governments to the idiocy, the hysteria being constantly revved up by the media who hated him for everything and fantasy reasons too.
But imagine if he'd had a little more strength. Just a little bit more.
Atlas says in his book that he informed Trump and was understood. Birx was too ignorant to be in charge. Atlas doesn't offer any explanations why Trump didn't act. My only guess is that Trump was preoccupied with more important issues, for him. OTOH, Trump always thinks advisors are less qualified than himself. Quite a character defect.
Imagine what he could have done if he left his massive ego behind and appointed competent people as advisors and in his cabinet instead of yes men. Trump will never be a good leader until he learns to be humble.
My view is similar - I see some very good policies, and some with which I disagree. But that is not what I'm defending. I'm defending liberty and justice.
Even if Trump had been completely ineffective what's happening is wrong.
It isn't about defending Trump, it is about defending the Liberty and the foundational principles of a free society.
Protesting election results is not insurrection. It is not treason. Nor is encouraging people to speak up, and to exercise their right to peaceably assemble.
Asserting that "even though he said 'peaceably assemble' we know he meant to incite violence" is wrong.
Challenging election results in court, with proper legal context, is not a crime. Losing a law suit is not a crime, nor is winning one.
Being a red faced asshole is not a crime. Mean tweets are not criminal.
Using the power of prosecution to suppress a political opponent is a crime.
Ignoring law and blatantly, and brazenly bragging out defying the legislature of your state is a crime.
and so on...
for those that don't get why "the end justifies the means" is wrong let me make it simple: the precedents set and tactics refined here may, one day, be used against you or your favorites.
Now if y'all will turn to page 27 of your hymnals....(I get the sense I'm preaching to the choir ;-).
"The same exact thing happened in Washington’s 2004 governor’s race — which I’m convinced became the nationwide blueprint"
Thank you for saying this. I've been arguing for the last three years that the mail-in voting scam-filled process was trialed, tested, and perfected in Washington State.
He's not a fool but he's complicit in a lot of unsavory shit, that's for sure. If you happen to catch a link to the interview after it's up, please let me know! :)
REPORT: Trump White House Official Confirms Knowledge of Muskegon, Michigan Voter Fraud Report in 2020 – CLAIMS THERE WAS AN ARREST and that BILL BARR Allegedly Killed the Investigation
And all of them are complicit in a lot of unsavory shit. As I said, I don't like him.
I guess I should say again--I have no side here. Many things may be simultaneously true, for example that a person has done bad and wrong and illegal things but is nevertheless being selectively persecuted [no typo] by the legal system when it's controlled by one's vengeful adversaries.
There are a lot--a lot--of details we don't know about everything in politics. Most things in politics (as with the rest of life) it's impossible to see the big picture until decades have passed, and of course as decades pass evidence gets buried or destroyed.
Who in our society will be honest enough to say "I don't want our children indoctrinated in any point of view--not even mine--but I do want them to learn how to think, how to formulate useful questions, how to do their own research?" What I see these days is people mad because the other side is winning the indoctrination war at the moment.
Well, as a kid, I was taught (with reference to some very old documents) that it is an obligation to at least try to teach or kids to think independently, and to challenge authority. I was reminded of this when I became a parent. I realized that it is kindof rough when the only authority they have to challenge is you, but you persevere.
Which is why I am both amazed and confused by Jews who go along with party doctrine. Who hand over control of education to a government, and who actually defend persecution of those who challenge authority. Almost as confusing as Jews who advocate for disarming Jews (and everyone else not under control of government). Our history is pretty clear how that always turns out. But I digress...
Heck. Those old documents told parents disbelieving kids should be murdered. Party doctrine got into the minutest of minutia. Judaism is a religion of "don't transgress!"
[which is why I always feel a little wee bit creepy, eating my ham and cheese sandwiches on Yom Kippur.]
It was a very long interview and I strongly recommend watching all of it. There's no sudden revelatory moment or nuthin', but he's a very interesting if repellent person and I was glad I saw it.
You're right, I should have worded that better. It'll be tough believing Barr when he's seemingly complicit in ignoring 2020 fuckery, but it's always worth listening.
Look I think you are being a little hard on Bar. Research his history - note the connection with the Clintons. Maybe it's not his fault at all - after he got that video about his impending suicide, well, you know....
It would be great to put together a brief summary and clips of the Hanging Chads and the battle on both sides - that was legal. Because, now it's criminal. 🤷🏼♀️
Personal note: I have a friend named Chad. That was a rough time in his life what with everyone shouting about "hanging Chad". Made him really jumpy....
I hope you are right. We need a miracle. Just read an article yesterday that Biden is about to declare climate emergency via executive order. Said there have been private plans with the UN. Gas, electricity, meat, and dairy will be rationed. I have been sick to my stomach since reading it...
As long as the White House will be occupied by a corporate imperialist muppet, nobody of influence or authority cares how the muppet gets there, as long as they get into the Oval Office.
Protocol, and I use that term loosely is rarely followed. As an election judge, there are small, seemingly inconsequential acts that add up though they don’t rise to the level of reportable. With voting machines, and voters choose them 2:1, trust is out the window once “entered” into the tally machine. Paper ballots, no same day registration, voter ID, absentee ballots only for those disabled/military serving, and who request ballots - no ballot boxes and no ballot harvesting. Don’t know how to put the toothpaste back in the tube, but duped twice (2020 and 2022), pay attention. We all saw with our own eyes what happened in many places, and Trump was denied in most legal cases not on the merit of his cases, but on legal standing. This time it will be different - but are people so brainwashed and media so corrupt they will not see?
SC -Banana Republic 101, we hold democratic elections, you just can't question who we tell you the winner is. If these indictments stood in 2000, every single person involved in the Gore & Shrub camps would be behind bars. Every single one of these charges is going to be tossed. This is nothing more than Kabuki Theatre of The Absurd. Look over here, don't look behind the curtain, there is nothing there to see. For shit sake even Dershowitz has this nailed. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12413181/ALAN-DERSHOWITZ-Al-Gore-2000-Donald-Trump-indictment.html
You think they’ll be tossed? The judge in charge is a Jamaican female who has a long history of anti-White rulings. There’s no objectivity involved in this trial.
Now imagine the next 4 years under whomever takes Biden's place as the chosen moppet. And with all this fuss over 2020 most voters loose sight of the importance of congressional elections. What if...
Remember, Judges and justices can be impeached. Congress decides how many justices comprise the court. It takes a super-majority to remove a justice, but who in the senate will step up to defend "Trump appointees"? Yeah.
Absurd? Maybe. But...consider...a judge or justice who rules on the law as written instead of "what it should have been" is called "conservative". A judge or justice who reads the constitution and dares say the words mean what hey say is "constructionist" or "originalist", well it seems a small step to decree the justices who don't tow The Party line as incompetent.
The last couple years have been refreshing. The high court has ruled according to law, and logic, at least a few times. But that's not been a consistent pattern the last few decades.
But I think that Trump supporters should make it clear to all elected Republicans (especially the Senate Republican ie: McConnell and friends) that if they fail to PUBLICLY and actively support Donald Trump in his fight with Biden’s Justice Department, then they will not receive any support or votes from the Republican rank-and-file for their re-elections.
If they think that their jobs are in jeopardy then maybe they will get off their asses and do the right thing......
Elected Republicans need to be all over tv and the rest of the media denouncing the indictments and the Biden justice department.....
"Now Trump and his team of high-powered lawyers get to call and cross-examine witnesses, introduce evidence, and demand answers from a system that has refused to give them up since election night — and he can broadcast that information directly onto the televisions of millions of Americans who had no idea it even existed."
Hopefully, yes.
Or - he gets held up by DA and court in a tangle of formalistic maneuvers preventinghim from doing precisely that, while still being indicted yet never getting any day in court, until the case is dropped/thrown out. Until the next one and the next one and the next one.
I've seen gaming companies do this against small-time garage-scale firms making supplementary parts and things: instead of calling for a C&D for all the things the "wizard who lives by the coast" or "the workshop for games" in Great Britain claim are impinging on their IP, they dp it one item at a time, ramping up the legal costs for the small guy.
Granted, Trump is no small guy any way you slice it, but I think the main goal is winning the ambivalent white and latino/hispanic middle ground voters; the "never Democrats" and the "never Trumpers" don't need any persuasion or nudging, but the people who on one hand hold values closer to the Democrats but on the other hand has experienced the collapse, corruption and so on of Obama's and Biden's rule.
Blacks, the Democrats will keep guilt-tripping and clamouring about "white supremacy" and reparations to win. Asians they won't care about - too few. Jews are even fewer in number. Lations/hispanics are plenty enough to matter, and are much more overtly politically active and have a conservative tendency thanks to catholicism - must be firmly shackled to the Democrat wagon.
I have no data, just a feeling from experience from here that it is " urban white middle class" that's believed to be the decider.
To a great degree Trump's own lifelong tactics are now being used against him. The Trump organization was notorious for attempting (and often succeeding) to crush the little guy. You need deep pockets to get any chance of justice.
You'd think his business-practices in the 1980s and 1990s would be something his opponents would choose to bring up for any attempt at character assassination, but then they're just as guilty of it, or worse.
Or they're just too lazy to do the require research?
Everyone knew it, and every once in a while there used to be "exposes" of his business practices, but as you note, everyone is dirty, especially in certain fields, and many major Democratic donors are real estate billionaires and millionaires. Don't want to poke in that sewer too deeply.
It's the same with the "pussy-grabbing" nonsense, but of course they tried and failed with that.
Trump is far from being an unusually rotten person. He's just an ordinarily rotten person with more of the necessary resources to indulge oneself in rottenness.
They learned from the "best": in the 1980s, Disney tried to sue a swedish cartoonist for making a comic with an anthropomorhic duck as the main character, claiming they had sole ownership of the idea of anthropomorphic ducks.
His (temporary) solution? He made a cartoon where his duck buys a fake duckbill in a novelty shop. The swedish court dropped the case, since it was now a comic about a character wearing a fake duckbill, instead of having a real one; ergo it was no longer a duck.
(The court's reasoning was basically legalese for "Grow up and stop playing silly buggers!" towards Disney's claims.)
I remember in 2020 watching the video of the counting in Atlanta suspended, and after everyone left, they pulled boxes out from under a table and continued counting. This doesn't surprise me.
Trump won. Nothin’ more needs to be said.
Maybe I'm a slow learner, but has anyone else realized that Google is blocking emails containing links to this post? That is scary as HELL.
Go ahead and try to email this link to a friend. See what happens. Let me know.
What email provider are you using? What's the error you get back?
Sorry to be slow getting back to you. The reason given for not delivering was:
The response from the remote server was:
554 5.7.1 [VI-1] Message blocked due to spam content in the message.
Wow that's crazy! Are you using gmail?
Yes. Neither of the recipients use gmail.
I just emailed it to my other account and it got there in less than one minute.
Thanks. Are you using gmail at both ends?
Yes.

Trump is both an impulsive and indecisive man. These are bad traits to have; each tends to burst out at the least useful moments.
When your advisors are John Bolton and General Milley.......
When you select as advisors John Bolton and General Milley...
...and Mike Pompeo. And you fire Flynn.
Flynn knew the players and was aware of corruption. Dangerous guy, had to be cancelled. He's kept his mouth shut about a lot, likely to stay alive.
Imagine what he could have done if he left his massive ego behind and appointed competent people as advisors and in his cabinet instead of yes men. Trump will never be a good leader until he learns to be humble.
Yep, who can forget the hiring of JOHN BOLTON?!?!??!?!?

Thank you for saying this. I've been arguing for the last three years that the mail-in voting scam-filled process was trialed, tested, and perfected in Washington State.
60% of King County "voting" absentee IN 2004 was the major tipoff, looking back.
Watching an interview with Bill Barr on Cavuto right now.
I do not like Bill Barr. But he's no fool and it's worth hearing what he says.
He's not a fool but he's complicit in a lot of unsavory shit, that's for sure. If you happen to catch a link to the interview after it's up, please let me know! :)
