Virginia Thomas, a conservative activist married to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, repeatedly pressed White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to pursue unrelenting efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in urgent text exchanges in the critical weeks following the vote, according to copies of the messages obtained by CBS News chief election and campaign correspondent Robert Costa and Bob Woodward of The Washington Post.
Those messages — part of 29 total messages obtained — reveal an extraordinary pipeline between Virginia Thomas, who goes by Ginni, and then-President Donald Trump’s top aide during a period when Trump and his allies were vowing to go to the Supreme Court in an effort to subvert the election results.
The messages, which do not directly reference Justice Thomas or the Supreme Court, show for the first time how Ginni Thomas used her access to Trump’s inner circle to encourage and seek to guide the president’s strategy to overturn the election results — and how receptive and grateful Meadows said he was to receive her advice. Among Thomas’ stated goals in the messages was for lawyer Sidney Powell, who promoted incendiary and unsupported claims about the election, to become “the lead and the face” of Trump’s legal team.
The messages were among the 2,320 text messages that Meadows provided the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The existence of messages between Thomas and Meadows — 21 sent by her; eight by him — have not previously been reported and were reviewed by CBS News and The Post. They were then confirmed by five people who have seen the committee’s documents.
The same congress where 8 members voted against aid to Ukraine? The same congress where half the Republicans supported Putin? The right wing hates to admit that President Biden has lead the world in response to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. They hate that Biden gets credit when their cult leader couldn’t stand up to Putin even to support the US own intel agencies.
Gods the right wing cartoonist are desperate. Russia is not a communist country. They are hoping none of their viewers are smart enough to know it is not 1980 anymore. Bernie never touted communism for the US. Bernie wants the government to work for the public and not just for the wealthy. That is not communism. It is about the taxpayers getting a return on their tax money.
Christians like Payne are adamant in forcing everyone to think and enjoy hatreds like them, especially when it comes to racism, bigotry, misogyny, homophobia and transphobia. Conserves are “woke” against “woke”. They don’t want white heterosexual folks to be offended by all those others around them. Some Disney employees participated in a walkout Tuesday to protest Florida’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill The bill, which has not yet been signed into law, would limit discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity in schools PREVIOUS: Disney opposes Florida’s so-called ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill, CEO to meet with Gov. DeathSantis. Payne hates gay people apparently.
Isn’t that virtue signaling? I though right wingers considered virtue signaling to be bad. The right didn’t care about Uyghurs during Trump’s term. Now they are pretending to care about an ethnic group they didn’t care about before because they need a reason to paint President Biden as a bad guy over something. So, what do you armchair quarterbacks expect President Biden to do? Trump tried imposing tariffs on China because of their unfair business practices. It didn’t work very well, and Trump had to ask Congress to give farmers money to help them out. America is busy dealing with Putin. A dictator that some right wingers to praise. Trump called him a genius for his invasion of Ukraine. Seems like a bad idea to pick a fight with two countries with nuclear weapons. As for Canada “mistreating” Christians, give me a break.
Anti-vaxxers remind me of the person that got mauled by the tiger at the zoo because they decided to go into the tiger pit. They were warned many times of the danger but decided to overcome the obstacles put in place designed to prevent such a tragedy from happening. Such safeguards are put in place in order to prevent people from dying from COVID. If you decide to have a hissy fit and not do what is expected to stop COVID, then don’t expect me to feel sorry for you if you die. I will only feel sorry for the people that died from COVID because they had a compromised immune system. Taking the analogy farther, they remind me of the person who decided to release the tiger so it could wander the city freely, mauling whomever it wants.
The cartoon over looks the new varient to push one of their favorite villains Dr Fauci and the fear that he will force you to do things you do not want to do. People Dr. Fauci is only an advisor. But it is easier to make him the villain and pretending tRump was not in charge of the things people hate.
tRump is not responsible for the vaccine development nor for their distribution. While tRump was throwing the US treasury to any organization that would promise him anything to save his bacon, the leading vaccine maker did not take the money from the US. All the vaccine manufactures had started working on vaccines before tRump started offering money. tRump offered money to people who claimed their businesses to develop vaccines were in their living rooms. The tRump people had no plan or method to get the shots into peoples arms. For that the credit goes to the Biden administration. But the real reason to not give credit to tRump / Republicans is their catering and fostering an anti-vaccine insanity that is not only prolonging the covid issue but has led to unnecessary death and economic problems. But the right doesn’t care about facts, they want to worship their cult leader tRump and pretend science is not real.
“Who said I’m a 21st century man? I’m a 12th century man. Fuck the UN, and the internet, and democracy, You know what democracy has given us? Obesity. Low rates of literacy.
“It’s given us divorce, abortion, gay marriage, liberalism, pornography. That’s what democracy has given us. Ghettos and crime and political correctness. Diversity. Yeah, the track record of democracy? Not so good.
“Catholic autocracy? Pretty strong. Pretty strong record. Catholic monarchy? Catholic monarchy, and just war, and crusades, and inquisitions? Pretty good stuff.” – White supremacist Nick Fuentes, on today’s podcast.
Are we closer to being Russia yet? Will they make LGBTQ+ people illegal next? Or just showing you are gay in public will be illegal? Will two guys holding hands be a jail sentence? The goal is to make the non-white non-straight people non-Christian people second class people with no rights. It is happening as we watch. Fascism is taking over in the red states as we watch, and they want to do it to the entire US. Scary
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) said in a letter to the Austin Independent School District (AISD) this week that its Pride Week was “breaking state law.”
Paxton wrote Tuesday that by hosting pride week, the district “has, at best undertaken a week-long instructional effort in human sexuality without parental consent. Or, worse [the] district is cynically pushing a week-long indoctrination of [students] that not only fails to obtain parental consent, but subtly cuts parents out of the loop.”
The Texas AG also wrote that the Austin ISD’s curriculum and lesson plans “deal head-on with sexual orientation and gender identity—topics that unmistakably constitute ‘human sexuality instruction’ governed by state law.”
About 45 minutes after Paxton’s office tweeted out the letter, the school district’s superintendent, Stephanie Elizalde, tweeted back: “I want all our LGBTQIA+ students to know that we are proud of them and that we will protect them against political attacks.”
District spokesman Jason Stanford told The Washington Post the celebration will continue as planned. “We’re going to react to this by doubling down on making sure our kids feel safe and celebrating Pride,” Stanford said.
Today, I sent a letter to @AustinISD for their curriculum and lesson plans that constitute “human sexuality instruction” governed by state law.
