I agree with this guy

Inciting a physical attack on Congress to thwart the peaceful transfer of power to a new President AND trying to engineer an elaborate conspiracy to subvert and corrupt state vote-counting AND seeking to illegally nullify the electoral college has got to be a major federal crime.

It wasn't hard for anyone to see that Trump was using Twitter to incite an insurrection before it happened.

The decision to ban him permanently is justified by this alone.

The cons on this board think you’re crazy that Trump didn’t do anything wrong.

Arizona "Audit" A Mulititude of Unsubstantiated Claims and No Proof of Fraud.

https://www.azmirror.com/2021/09/24/ari ... -of-fraud/.

The long-awaited and repeatedly delayed report of the Senate’s purported “audit” of the election in Maricopa County featured a plethora of unsubstantiated allegations that files were deleted, equipment was improperly connected to the internet, signatures weren’t properly verified and ineligible voters may have cast ballots.

The county vehemently denied all of the allegations, and said the election review team’s ignorance of election laws and procedures led them to make false claims.

What effect the “audit” will have remains to be seen. The hand-recount of nearly 2.1 million ballots reached the same result as the official tally: Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump in Maricopa County and in Arizona. (The “audit” concluded that Biden actually won by about 260 more votes than the official election results.)

Kinda like the results of the Cyber NumbNuts audit. No real proof of Fraud. What's a Con to do.

Stephanie Grisham, who worked for the Trump administration, is spilling it

“ All I know about that day is that he was in the dining room gleefully watching on his TV as he often did… “look at all of the people fighting for me”hitting rewind, watching again.”

Watch the clip, here.

What Do You Call a Failed Insurrection? PRACTICE

[Washington, January 6, 2025] Take a Red Pill and join me in the future for the reading of the electoral vote. The year is 2025. It’s 1pm on January 6 and Vice-President Kamala Harris has begun opening the envelopes with the electoral vote from each state, alphabetically.

When she reaches Georgia, new Republican Senator Herschel Walker objects to accepting Harris’ choice of the slate of Electors pledged to Joe Biden, the slate submitted by Georgia’s Governor Stacey Abrams. Instead, Sen. Walker demands Harris count the vote of the slate submitted by Georgia’s GOP-controlled legislature with Electors committed to Donald Trump.

California State Senator Scott Wiener (D-SF) Proposes Ending Tax Breaks For Non-Profits Who Aided Capitol Insurrection.

https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2022/ ... urrection/.

SACRAMENTO (BCN) – California nonprofits that participated or aided in last year’s attack on the U.S. Capitol may lose their tax-exempt status via a new bill introduced by state Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, on the anniversary of the insurrection.

Senate Bill 834, introduced Thursday, would suspend tax breaks for groups who fundraised and sent money to groups involved in the Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021, and who challenged the legitimacy of President Joe Biden’s win in the 2020 election.

Ted Cruz has a rare moment of telling the truth. Fucker Carlson makes him apologize. "You have to cut that crap out, this telling the truth thing!" Cruz obliges. :roll: "I'm sorry I phrased what I said in a truthful manner".

Cyber Nijas, Company Arizona Republicans Hired To Conduct "Audit" of Arizona Election Goes Under.

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/cyber-ni ... 37ae9fb94f.

Cyber Ninjas, the controversial Florida company that conducted a bungle-plagued audit of Arizona votes in the 2020 presidential election, a recount pushed by Donald Trump and state senators over baseless claims of fraud, has folded, a spokesperson announced.

Cyber Ninjas is shutting down. All employees have been let go,” Rod Thomson, the spokesperson for CEO Doug Logan, said in a text message Thursday evening. It was unclear who besides Logan was involved in the firm and who made the decision to shut it down. A LinkedIn page on the company indicates as few as two employees.

The San Francisco County Republican Party (Yes there is one) is desparate to find a person to run against Weiner, and so far no takers.

No legislator who takes money from Big Pharma or Insurance companies; gun manufacturers, Big Chem or Big Ag; Big Oil or the MIC has any right to call themselves a defender of our democracy.
yea Baby

January 6
What Really Happened

Our democracy wasn’t just attacked on January 6; our democracy is attacked every day of the week, and has been for the last forty years. The real “attack on our democracy” wasn’t just one event that took place a year ago; it’s the larger pattern of legalized bribery that’s destroying our democracy from the inside. Every time resources of hope and opportunity are transferred from the many to the few, our democracy is attacked. The main point of attack is the systemic corruption that goes on in that Capitol building every single day.

This is not a time in our lives to pussyfoot around the truth. It’s not a time in our history to allow our devotion to something as ultimately meaningless as a political party to blind us to the truth of our circumstances. The real dichotomy in American politics is not between the Right and the Left; it’s between the powerful and the powerless. The political-media industrial complex, headquartered in both parties, has created the Left-Right culture wars to distract Americans from the truth of who and what actually oppresses them. Our fellow citizens are not our enemy. Greed is our enemy. Abusive power is our enemy. Injustice is our enemy. Unfettered corporate influence is our enemy.

And those are the things that have been attacking our democracy. Many of the people who so sanctimoniously sang democracy’s praises today, standing on the Capitol steps with those stupid fake candles in their hands, are for all practical purposes but handmaidens to democracy’s enemies. No legislator who takes money from Big Pharma or Insurance companies; gun manufacturers, Big Chem or Big Ag; Big Oil or the MIC has any right to call themselves a defender of our democracy. Not today, and not any day. Nor does it matter any more that they don’t see that. We do.

Today should have been commemorated with more than show tunes, though God knows the image is perfect. Performance…mere performance. It should have been commemorated with the expansion of medicare, the cancellation of the college loan debt, raising the minimum wage, or creating free college for all. It should have been commemorated by acts that addressed the despair of millions of Americans. It should have been commemorated by something - something, anything at all - which proves that anyone who works in that building has even a clue why things are so bad.
That was beautiful

This is recipee for disaster and more of the same

Welfare funds going unspent as pandemic increased poverty is a moral outrage
.......Texas, one of four states that denied at least 90 percent of its 2020 TANF applicants, had the lowest approval rate in the nation, approving only 7 percent. That means successfully applying for such welfare funds in Texas is as rare as successfully applying for admission to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology or Yale University.......
......Texas isn’t alone in its parsimony. Across the country, the states ended fiscal year 2020 with $5.2 billion in unspent TANF money. The amount of welfare dollars the states have not spent has doubled over the last 10 years as the number of approved applications has fallen by half, ProPublica reports. Our states holding on to $5.2 billion in unspent welfare dollars would be an outrage at any time but is especially awful considering that the fiscal year ended in the middle of a pandemic that exacerbated the country’s already embarrassing and unforgivably high rates of poverty and child poverty........
.....“Alongside this $5.2 billion, there is over $40 billion in federal rental assistance that never reached renters in need. Pandemic unemployment insurance ended on Labor Day, and the last child tax credit payments went out before Christmas, with no additional relief in sight. Yet over $2 trillion has gone to the wealthy and $778 billion was approved for the Pentagon without any obstacles, obstruction, or delay.”......
Sky-rocketing spending for defense, incarceration isn't making us safer

My point here is that war is a collective enterprise. Multiply this incident by the size of the U.S. military budget — virtually half the country’s discretionary spending, around a trillion dollars annually, all told. And the money is always there, ready and waiting for the security state to consume. The unending lie is that it keeps us safe. Imagine, once again, “women and children staggering out of the partly collapsed building, some missing limbs, some dragging the dead,” and savor the safety you now have......
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrGgZiKlLhE
What's behind our soaring military budget, with journalist Andrew Cockburn and Marianne Williamson

According to journalist Andrew Cockburn in his latest book, The Spoils of War: Power, Profit and the American War Machine, our bloated $778 billion defense budget doesn’t necessarily provide for our safety. Cockburn, the Washington editor of Harper’s, has spent decades covering the Pentagon and defense industry and says money and power - not legitimate security concerns - is what drives our ballooning military budget.

Reminder: Does anyone else remember this? Trump IS FULL ON SAYING HE'S GOING TO DO A COUP IF HE LOST. He kept saying things like this, over and over again. There is NO argument here.

Watch the video

https://twitter.com/DrDenaGrayson/statu ... 9602164736

mark@BrianKarem: "Will you commit to making sure that there is a peaceful transfer of power after the election?"

Trump: "We're going to have to see what happens. You know that I've been complaining very strongly about the ballots, and the ballots are a disaster....we want to get rid of the ballots, and we'll have a very peaceful...there won’t be a transfer frankly there will be a continuation...the ballots are out of control, you know it..."

This is a full on admission to treason. Fuck off with that no coup bullshit. Fuck right off.

Indeed. It's said he's a full on Leninist.
Then we had a long talk about his approach to politics. He never called himself a “populist” or an “American nationalist,” as so many think of him today. “I’m a Leninist,” Bannon proudly proclaimed.
