>>>that Ashli Babbit doesn't even exist>>> I'm really surprised that the officer that took her out hadn't been already crucified. He's probably in the witness protection program now, working at a doughnut shop. I can't imagine what Babbit was thinking at the time - what did she think was going to happen? And the rest? "well, they can't shoot all of us...." One good center of mass shot there.
That was a sick statement by Kelli Ward. Taking advantage of violence that disrupted Congress to promote state legislatures to overthrow the election for Trump.
Kelli Ward's website says that she is still a practicing physician. She re-tweeted an anti-vaxxer statement by Ron Johnson. Arizona's GOP chair Dr. Kelli Ward prescribes death for unvaccinated excerpt: "Over the weekend Ward retweeted something from Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson, one of the most ardent anti-vaccine misinformation spreaders in the land. Here is the bottom line. According to the latest studies conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention individuals who are unvaccinated are 11 times more likely to die from COVID-19 than those who are vaccinated. Likewise, vaccinated individuals are five times less likely to get infected and 10 less likely to end up in the hospital if they do. The science is clear. The numbers don’t lie. What about 'first do no harm'? Given that, you’d think that high ranking members of a political party would do everything in their power to protect their voters by encouraging them to get vaccinated. And you’d particularly think that of a physician. But, no. Sen. Johnson published a tweet speaking about how, in England, more vaccinated than unvaccinated individuals are succumbing to the disease. What he doesn’t point out is that a vast majority of that country has been vaccinated, so such a statistic shouldn’t be surprising. He also doesn’t point out that many more individuals would be dying if so many of England’s citizens weren’t vaccinated."
During an interview with Hannity, Trump lied about his supposed forcing S. Korea to pay the U.S. (in his words) 'billions and billions' of dollars for military protection. https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...s-imaginary-numbers-military-aid-south-korea/ excerpt: “South Korea is costing us $5 billion a year. And they pay — they were paying about $500 million for $5 billion worth of protection.” This is false. South Korea in 2018 paid the United States about $830 million under the burden-sharing agreement, covering approximately 40 percent of the cost of the U.S. deployment. So the total cost for the United States would be somewhere around $1.25 billion, not $5 billion. The U.S. share became greater than South Korea’s in 2010. “Under the current five-year SMA [cost-sharing agreement] that expires on December 31, 2018, the ROK provided approximately $830 million per year,” according to the State Department. (Because of fluctuating currency exchange rates, the South Korean contribution for 2018 has been pegged at $830 million to $860 million.) “They’ve agreed to pay $500 million more. … That was, like, two phone calls.” False. The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump administration officials sought a 50 percent increase in South Korea’s contribution. What they got was a much more modest 8.2 percent, with the Korean contribution increasing to $925 million under a one-year deal signed Feb. 10. (It didn’t take “two phone calls,” but rather many rounds of negotiations spanning nearly a year.)
Trump was inaccurate about his statement that 40,000 U.S. troops were in S. Korea. His own military officials said the number was about 28,000.
I'm guessing Jr. will be in public office within five years. Man, what an asshole I could be, too, if my daddy was rich and a game show novelty.
Reminds me of when he inflated his real estate assets so he could buy the Buffalo Bills. He says anything to get his way.
Column: After crying fraud, Republicans go silent when Nevada ally is charged with voting twice Mark Z. Barabak Tue, October 26, 2021, 8:00 AM· Column: After crying fraud, Republicans go silent when Nevada ally is charged with voting twice excerpts: "Days after the November 2020 election, Kirk Hartle appeared on Las Vegas television, his brow furrowed and voice tinged with disbelief. Someone, he said, had intercepted the ballot mailed to his wife, Rosemarie, and cast it in her stead. Rosemarie Hartle died of breast cancer in 2017. "That is pretty sickening to me, to be honest with you," Hartle told KLAS-TV." "Last week, the state's Democratic attorney general, working with Nevada's Republican secretary of state, announced that investigators had cracked the case. Hartle, 55, was charged with two counts of fraud: voting more than once in the same election and voting using another person's name. He allegedly forged his late wife's signature to cast the ballot she'd been sent. Hartle is due in court next month and "looks forward to responding to the allegations,” his attorney said. Both charges are felonies, each punishable by a prison term up to four years and a fine up to $5,000. It's uncertain who Hartle voted for — evidently twice — but one can make an educated guess. He is a registered Republican and the chief financial officer of Ahern Rentals, a heavy-equipment leasing firm in Las Vegas whose owner, Don Ahern, is a prominent Trump supporter."
Column: After crying fraud, Republicans go silent when Nevada ally is charged with voting twice excerpt: "For President Trump, his campaign surrogates and their champions in the conservative media, it was an outrage and, they claimed, a mere hint of the widespread fraud that cost Trump not just Nevada's six precious electoral votes but a second term in the White House. "Dead people voted in Clark County," Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union and one of Trump's loyal foot soldiers, asserted at a nationally televised Las Vegas news conference. He cited the case of Rosemarie Hartle as just one example. (The appearance by Schlapp and others trying to undermine Democrat Joe Biden and tarnish the election was less a news conference than a political piece of performance art. The several Trump allies who spoke, including his Nevada campaign chairman, Adam Laxalt, refused to take questions and offered no evidence to support their groundless fraud claims.)"
Yeah, let's see if he gets his hand slapped. Bad bad boy, bad boy!! Welcome to felony town, it's like Hotel California. Once you get there, you can never leave...
Matt Schlapp talking in late November 2020 about alleged widespread illegal voting in Nevada and switching the election winner to Trump. Youtube video:
Matt Schlapp remarking about alleged widespread illegal voting in Nevada. In the video, Robert Ray mentioned Trump doing his upcoming rally in GA a few days before the special U.S. Senate runoff election in GA and anticipated him ruining the election for the GOP with his claims about voter fraud. Ray was correct. The GOP lost both Senate seats and Democrats regained control of the Senate. A year later, Trump and some in the GOP are still spouting the same rhetoric. Youtube video:
To the chagrin of Schlapp, attorney Binnall lost the voter fraud election case. It was one of dozens of cases that Trump lost. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-st...ulls-bid-to-nullify-biden-win-stop-6-electors excerpt: "LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Donald Trump campaign lost its bid Friday to overturn the results of the Nevada election and stop the state’s six Democratic presidential electors from voting for Joe Biden. In a 35-page ruling, Judge James Todd Russell said he saw no clear or convincing proof “under any standard of evidence” that he should declare Trump the winner in Nevada or to nullify the results of the statewide presidential vote. “Contestants did not prove ... that illegal votes were cast and counted that should have been rejected during the signature verification process, or legal votes were not counted that should have been accepted” in numbers that would have swayed the outcome of the election, the judge said. The judge acknowledged during a hearing Thursday the case was headed to the Nevada Supreme Court, where it is expected to get fast-track handling and a possible ruling before the Electoral College finalizes nationwide results in 10 days."
The Nevada Supreme Court later rejected the appeal that Binnall filed after losing the case. Nevada Supreme Court unanimously dismisses Trump election lawsuit excerpt: "President Donald Trump's reelection campaign has lost its legal bid to nullify President-elect Joe Biden’s 39,000-vote electoral win in Nevada. The Nevada Supreme Court issued a terse order late Tuesday upholding a state judge's dismissal of a contest-of-election case that would have either had the Republican president declared the winner in Nevada or blocked the state’s six electoral votes from going to Biden. The nationwide Electoral College tally is next Monday. “Appellants have not pointed to any unsupported factual findings, and we have identified none,” the justices said."
The legal maneuvering of AG Paxton of Texas to try to overturn the 2020 election was farfetched. He was suing other states whose 2020 elections he thought were corrupt by arguing that the election results were harming the state of Texas. Emails recently released to the public show how some of the other state AG offices reacted to Paxton's legal maneuvering, with one official referring to it as batshit insane. Florida AG's Staff Called Texas AG Ken Paxton's Lawsuit to Overturn Other States' Election Results 'Batsh*t Insane' excerpt: “They try to cover that starting at page 68 of the pdf,” Ezray noted. “They say they suffer harm as a state when other state’s violate ‘constitutional’ election law and that they bring parens patriae claims for their electors.” (Parens patriae claims are where the government seeks to act as a legal protector of citizens unable to protect themselves.)
They are lying fascist bastards and Fox news loves ém. Anti American outfits like Fox should be shut down.
