A Post Of Its’ Own …
Demented Donald threw cold water all over his supporters who were conned by him into believing massive voter fraud stole the election away from him.

By John Amato — September 26, 2024

Instead of a rally, Trump spoke at a Charlotte-area warehouse in North Carolina. During his speech he rambled out of the blue about the 2020 election results, admitting he lost to Joe Biden.

 

Trump was bragging that he received more votes than any sitting president before him which is meaningless and ridiculous since he got trounced by almost 8 million votes. I guess his addled brain transitioned into the making an explosive statement to his MAGA cult.

 

TRUMP: We were getting ready to do it, and then a lot of bad things happened. We did much better, by the way, in the election of 2020 than we did in 2016.

Just remember that. Millions and millions of votes more. More votes than any sitting president in the history of our country.

But they beat us by a whisker. They beat us just by a little whisker.

He beat us from the basement.

If you’re a MAGAt, I hope you heard this and heard it good.

Trump played you all for fools.

He played you for fkn idiots.

 

Police were killed during the insurrection.

January 6th defendants, I hope you rot in jail.

And you all deserved it

Hey Donald Dump, Ashli Babbitt will still be alive if you admitted you lost on Nov 6th, 2020 instead of on Sept 25, 2024.

Trump didn’t lose ‘by a whisker.’ Biden received 306 electoral votes to Trump’s received 232 and Biden received the most votes in the history of the country with 81,283,501, dwarfing Trump’s meager 74 million.

Trump’s lies tore the country apart and are still doing it.

Johnson Defends Higgins After Racist Anti-Haitian Post: “He Prayed About It And Then He Pulled The Post Down”

“He said he went to the back and he prayed about it, and he regretted it, and he pulled the post down.

“I’m sure he probably regrets the language he used. But you know, we move forward. We believe in redemption around here.” – House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Remember when we had presidents that did not constantly try to sell crap and make a constant stream of profit off their name or from their followers.  Remember we have had only one full time con man running scams to make a buck using the office of president to do it. Is this really what we want from our president?   It seems unseemly for a presidential candidate to be doing shit like this.  Hugs.  Scottie

Wisconsin GOP Mayor Carts Off Town’s Ballot Drop Box

Wisconsin GOP Mayor Carts Off Town’s Ballot Drop Box

This is totally illegal.  It is voting interference that tRump keep claiming the democrats are doing.  Yet we see which party is purging voter rolls, doing over the top gerrymandering to make sure only they can win, restricting early voting, restricting mail in ballots, making voting in person harder with aggressive poll watchers challenging any person of color who goes to vote.   This man doesn’t like drop boxes and even though the supreme court of the state made it legal he just decided to steal the box before it could be locked down.  Even though the elections supervisor’s office is the one with the authority to approve their use and had done so.  Another republican who thinks the laws and rules do not apply to them. This is such preformative for the camera / clicks action.  Notice how he dressed up for it.  Also note he is holding the box hostage in his office.  Plus no one had put ballots in it because it was closed and locked and due to be locked down that very morning.

September 26, 2024 Republicans, Trump cultists

 

The Washington Post reports:

A years-long fight over voting rules in the swing state of Wisconsin sparked a criminal investigation this week after a mayor — wearing a hard hat and Department of Public Works jacket — carted off a ballot drop box the city clerk was about to make available to voters.

The mayor, who was elected in the spring with the help of the Republican Party, said he moved the drop box to his office Sunday because he believed the city council should decide whether the city should use it.

The Wausau drop box was placed outside of city hall late last week, and the clerk planned to have it secured to the ground so that it could be used starting Monday, according to city officials. It was locked, and voters could not place ballots inside while it was awaiting installation, City Clerk Kaitlyn Bernarde said.

The Wausau Pilot reports: 

City Council President Lisa Rasmussen had sharp words for the mayor and is now asking for a public apology. She also suggested Diny could face significant consequences for his actions and said she is not aware of “issues” that would explain the removal.

“I have huge concerns about this behavior, as there is no place for elected officials to manage, alter or tamper with drop boxes, whether they agree with their use or not,” Rasmussen told Wausau Pilot.

“I have voiced my concerns to the mayor about his conduct, and requested he return the box and issue a public apology to the clerk and the community, as his actions violate the public trust and likely also the law.”

We’re going to see a lot more of this.

They don’t even hide the hatred of fellow citizens and the blatant voter suppression anymore, they make a public spectacle out of it. Makes me really hate people.My sister is one of those people and we haven’t spoken since she first cast her vote for Trump and then in the same breath told me she voted for gay marriage in our state (MN) as if it was a get out jail free card and that I should be appeased since she gave me a crumb.

I have never understood the concern about drop boxes at all. If voters don’t use a ballot drop box, they will just use a postal mail box which is no more or less secure. Why do they think (without evidence) that you can “stuff” a drop box but couldn’t also “stuff” a mail box? They are crazy. I think they just hope that with a mail box, Louis DeJoy can fck up the delivery and make them late

Twosday Trinity …

Republicans, uh, robbed of another campaign issue.  From the FBI:

 

The FBI released detailed data on over 14 million criminal offenses for 2023 reported to the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program by participating law enforcement agencies. More than 16,000 state, county, city, university and college, and tribal agencies, covering a combined population of 94.3% inhabitants, submitted data to the UCR Program through the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) and the Summary Reporting System.

The FBI’s crime statistics estimates, based on reported data for 2023, show that national violent crime decreased an estimated 3.0% in 2023 compared to 2022 estimates:  

  • Murder and non-negligent manslaughter recorded a 2023 estimated nationwide decrease of 11.6% compared to the previous year.  
  • In 2023, the estimated number of offenses in the revised rape category saw an estimated 9.4% decrease.  
  • Aggravated assault figures decreased an estimated 2.8% in 2023.
  • Robbery showed an estimated decrease of 0.3% nationally… 
The complete analysis is located on the FBI’s Crime Data Explorer.  (our emphasis)

Well, we hear there’s someone who’s been found by a jury to be a sexual abuser and who’s been convicted of 34 felonies who’s running for President, so there’s that.

Well, this is a big deal-

Former Sen. Kassebaum-Baker made one brief statement about the changing Republican and political climate when she retired; that’s pretty much what she said: that it was changing. She retired, as did Bob Dole, with the first wave of Tea Partiers (though a couple of years apart.) Since then, she’s been even more discreet, mostly concentrating on land and habitat conservation. This endorsement is a Big Deal. (I’ll copy it in here so you don’t have to take your computer to the carwash to get the stupid off.)

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/former-republican-us-senator-endorses-kamala-harris-says-election-stark-choice

EXCLUSIVE: Three more Republicans are crossing the aisle to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for the White House.

Former U.S. Sen. Nancy Kassebaum, R-Kan., former Kansas state senator and Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger and Deanell Reece Tacha, a retired federal judge, condemned the current state of the GOP in a statement shared with Fox News Digital Thursday.

“This election presents a stark choice that is not easy for any of us. The Republican Party of Dwight D. Eisenhower, Bob Dole, Frank Carlson, Jan Meyers, and generations of Kansas leaders does not exist within the current Republican Party,” the former officials wrote.

“But, it requires Republicans speaking out and putting country over party when those values are at stake.”

They added that the race between Harris and former President Trump presented a “stark choice,” but not an easy one.

“No candidate is perfect, and we do not pretend that we subscribe to all the policy positions taken either by the national parties or any individual candidates,” they wrote.

“However, we fervently believe that we must do our part to try to build a brighter future, which is why we will be voting for Kamala Harris and [Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz] in this election. We believe they most closely align with the aspirations of Kansans and reflect our rich history of working together ‘to the stars through difficulty.’”

All three have backed Democrats in recent elections, however.

Kassebaum, who now goes by Nancy Kassebaum Baker, served in the U.S. Senate from December 1978 through January 1997. 

She was the first woman elected to represent Kansas in the chamber, and her career included a stint as chair of the Senate Labor Committee.

Tacha was nominated to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit by former President Reagan in 1985 and served as chief judge from 2001 until 2008.

Praeger served as the Kansas Insurance commissioner from 2003 to 2015.

Harris’ campaign has made a point of courting Republicans in a bid to widen her appeal and cast Trump as an extreme and polarizing choice.

A majority of Republicans, particularly those still in elected office, do support Trump.  

The vice president has scored support from several notable GOP figures, however. Former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., former Vice President Dick Cheney and former Trump administration aides Stephanie Grisham and Olivia Troye have all publicly stated support for Harris.

Troye is one of several people who headlined a Republicans for Harris event Thursday alongside former representatives Barbara Comstock, R-Va., and Denver Riggleman, R-Va.

A new Marist College poll found Harris and Trump neck and neck in three critical states.

(Snip-skipping blah-blah race tied crap to the final graf, which is satisfying:)

The Trump campaign said of the Harris endorsement, “Nobody knows who these people are, and nobody cares.”

Higgins last appeared here when he lied that ABC News had given Kamala Harris the debate questions in advance.

Earlier this year he appeared here when he threatened to show Trump’s hush money judge “where the ocean is,” which is a reference to mob killings. Higgins has had several tweets removed by Twitter for inciting violence.

In his former career as a Louisiana cop, Higgins resigned from one police force after being accused of striking a handcuffed suspect and then became a spokesman cop for another city, where his bombastic video threats against suspects went viral.

Higgins, who has been sued by one of his four wives for $140,000 in unpaid child support, claims that his current wife has the power of premonition.

He regularly posts calls for civil war.

Swing state election officials say they’ll sue counties that won’t certify 2024 result

Erin Mansfield USA TODAY

ANN ARBOR, Mich. − Top election officials in major swing states say they are prepared to take local governments to court if they refuse to certify the 2024 presidential election, a move that could impede an effort to overturn the election if former President Donald Trump loses.

Officials from Arizona, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin made the comments in interviews with USA TODAY and at a public event at the University of Michigan on Thursday as they sought to assure the public that they would protect the legitimacy of the election.

“We would immediately take them to court to compel them to certify, and we’re confident − because of how clear the election law is in Pennsylvania − that the courts would expeditiously require the counties to certify their election results,” said Pennsylvania Secretary of State Al Schmidt.

In battleground states and states where Vice President Kamala Harris is depending on victories to secure an Electoral College majority, county officials have voted against or delayed certifying the results of elections at least three dozen times since 2020 − from the presidential race down to school board recounts.

It’s an outgrowth of Trump and his allies’ strategy to overturn the 2020 election by stopping Congress from certifying President Joe Biden’s victory. Local officials who refuse to certify a county’s results in 2024 may intend to stop Harris’ electoral votes from their state from being sent to Congress in the first place. (snip-More)
