    Why does any ex president need to see intelligence briefings?

    Could this be the guy that planted the pipe-bombs?

    Same MO (but without the truck) and we know he was in DC for the riots and forced his way into the capitol building pushing through police officers

    We've come close to nuclear war at least half a dozen times, and its nice to have a little more continuity when it comes to how has the power to destroy the world.

    Was Election Denial Just a Get-Rich-Quick Scheme? Donors’ Lawsuits Look for Answers.
    Widespread voter fraud is a fake problem, but some conservative donors say they’re getting scammed out of real money.

    Was Election Denial Just a Get-Rich-Quick Scheme? Donors’ Lawsuits Look for Answers.

    "President Donald Trump’s post-election litigation was, in legal terms, a flop. In financial terms, however, it was an unparalleled success, generating hundreds of millions of dollars in donations. While a small percentage of that money was spent on doomed legal challenges, much of it went to pay off the campaign’s debts, straight to the Republican Party, or to finance a leadership PAC that Trump can use to fund his future ambitions. More than $2.7 million flowed from the Trump campaign to individuals and firms involved in the January 6 rally in Washington, D.C.

    The former president isn’t the only one who cashed in on manufactured voter-fraud panic. Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Josh Hawley, R-Mo., have both fundraised off the lie."

    Was Election Denial Just a Get-Rich-Quick Scheme? Donors’ Lawsuits Look for Answers.

    excerpt:

    "The fundraising continued long after it became obvious that the election challenges would fail, said Rick Hasen, an election law expert. “At some point, it became clear to any reasonable observer that the lawsuits were not going to change the results of the election,” he said. “The evidence was quite clear within a few weeks of the election that there was no massive fraud that could have affected its results. And so anyone making those claims is either deluding themselves or deluding someone else.”"

    Fredric Eshelman is now claiming that he was tricked.


    Was Election Denial Just a Get-Rich-Quick Scheme? Donors’ Lawsuits Look for Answers.

    excerpt:

    "Eshelman ultimately gave True the Vote a total of $2.5 million for its 2020 election efforts. True the Vote launched a massive undertaking in November to recruit whistleblowers, lobby legislatures, analyze data, and file lawsuits in seven battleground states. The project’s budget estimate of $7.3 million, as given in a project overview, was roughly 17 times True the Vote’s total 2018 revenue, the most recent year for which the group’s finances are publicly available. As part of the initiative, called “Validate the Vote,” True the Vote even budgeted $700,000 for a battle in the U.S. Supreme Court.

    In the end, True the Vote filed suit in just four states and voluntarily dismissed those four suits just days later, before any hearings had taken place. The group has offered various explanations for the dismissals. In one email to supporters, the group referenced “an excruciating series of events that will one day be known, but now is not the time to air.” James Bopp, True the Vote’s general counsel, who brought those four suits, said that the decision was based on several factors, including his professional judgment that they weren’t going to bear fruit for his clients."

    Republicans scream bloody murder the minute they think they need a cop, then vote to reduce the police force and trash the judicial system. Fuck em all baby, just FUCK YOU! FUCK YOURSELVES! The Rest of US will take notes for Hollywood writers! If you were drowning, Newt Gingrich would not lend a hand, and Donald Duck would push you under! Film at 11:00pm, on Fox News!

    The latest studies indicate fake news and misinformation are being spread by targeting people's fears and hatred. The more the idiots lie to themselves, the more easily they are fooled, and more fear and hate become the only things that give them cheap thrills and instant gratification. Religion and politics are the only two forums where people demand the right to freedom of speech, including hate speech and, then, demand the web be censored of anyone else. Anything that does not meet with the approval of common sense, which is often synonymous with the wealthy and mainstream, is censored. The idiots might as well be children plugging their ears and shouting, "I Can't Hear You!" making it easy to design bots that can defeat any attempts to censor the web.

    Trump has been using that narrative as his defense. The sacred election was supposedly viciously stolen from him and that, therefore, the riot was justified and he's innocent.

    His desire to use that narrative at his impeachment defense is apparently what caused his initial defense team to resign.

    He can use that narrative for any civil or criminal suits filed against him related to the riot. He lost about 60 cases during his quest to overturn a legitimate election, a near perfect loss record.

    Trump's rioters who have been arrested can try Trump's narrative as their legal defense.

    Donald Duck is only a free man, because the Tea Party has yet to be rounded up and kicked out the door on their ass. They are still making it quite clear the only thing they wish to share with democrats is the desire to kill each other, and my job is encouraging them to do so. What do you call a republican who comprehends the meaning of "no"? A liberal.

    Trump is akin to the dictators in the 1930's who claimed that their property was viciously stolen from them by other countries and needed to be recovered by any means possible.

    Trump is a cheapskate version of the real dictators. His battles are junior high culture wars that he starts to try to garner an emotional boost for himself.

    The Capitol riot was the grand version of his stunts that had no chance of overturning the election. He tried to justify the riot by tweeting a statement appealing to the emotions of his followers who he contended had been treated unfairly for so long.
