President Trump Announces August 21 Press Conference to Outline Georgia Election Fraud

President Donald J Trump has announced an 11:00am ET press conference for Monday, August 21st, to highlight evidence of Georgia election fraud. The republican apparatus in Georgia is going to go bananas.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Democrats have never faced any consequences for their disgusting unethical abuse of the Justice system, so why should they stop?

Hopefully we're getting closer to the day it actually happens.

I'm not sure they don't know exactly what they are doing, creating a situation where any amount of unrest will allow them to enact whatever rules or declare an emergency in order to stay the election, disqualify Trump if he's nominated, these people will go to no end to destroy MAGA as it represents destruction of all the work they've done over decades to push the country toward a socialist government...

That's the conspiracy theory of the day... Create another Jan 6th situation to support their projection of the "far right extremists"

The revolution has to come from the ballot box, and the difficulty of doing that is clear with the hijinks of the past election, we need clear overwhelming number of votes, everywhere to send the message and send home the problem people, not only at the POTUS level, but congress, governors and state elections in order to continue to work on getting the direction of the country fixed.

2024 is truly pivotal in the fight for the country...

The comments in that video I linked are all about "justice at any cost" and a bunch of back-slapping about how "we have to jail this man to quell his supporters." The people at the top may have some clue what they're doing, but the rest of them actually seem to believe this stuff.

Why Isn't 'Stolen Election' Conspirator Stacey Abrams Behind Bars?

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/...n-hypocrisy-n2627046

If anything, the fourth indictment against former President Donald Trump proves that a grand jury could indict a ham sandwich.

What would normally be protected under the Constitution, such as questioning election results, requesting phone numbers, and encouraging voters to watch TV, is now considered conspiratorial. The laundry list of indictment-worthy actions leveled against Trump and his allies leads to the pertinent question: If claiming an election is stolen makes you a criminal in Georgia, why isn't Democrat election-denier Stacey Abrams, a two-time gubernatorial sore-loser who repeatedly refused to concede, in prison?

We will have our work cut out for us in 2024.

The Democrats are Certain They Will Never be Held Accountable for the Trump Indictments and Biden Cover-Up
By Steve McCann

Never in the 235 years since the ratification of the Constitution has an administration premeditatively and blatantly prosecuted, on specious and conjecturable charges, the titular leader of the opposition party and leading candidate for president. And doing so while overtly flaunting their egregious actions to protect and cover-up for the incumbent president who has been exposed as potentially complicit in massive bribery and fraud. In any previous election cycle, these overt and unabashed actions would have been the death knell for the incumbent president’s campaign and his party.

Yet the Democrats are blatantly unconcerned, supremely confident that they will prevail in 2024 regardless of who they nominate. What underlies this inordinate arrogance?

I’ll tee up today’s analysis with an article from The Federalist, a mainstream, pro-Constitution conservative organization, which has a solid reputation allowing it to serve as the source of judicial recommendations for Presidents (like Trump) and Governors (like DeSantis) without much political controversy.

In other words, the Federalist isn’t any bomb-throwing radical conservative outfit or anything. In fact you could argue the Federalist is one of the most consequential and influential conservative organizations around, comparable to the Heritage Foundation in its reputation.

But yesterday, the Federalist ran an article by Charlie Kirk on its website, with a headline that posed a question. I’ll just show you the question first, before I show you the headline’s answer. Here’s the question: “How Should Republicans Respond To Fulton County?”
https://thefederalist.com/2023...nty-indict-the-left/

Don’t laugh; I know you’re wondering, “what? The Republicans are going to respond?” A fair point, but let’s move on.

One possible way Republicans should respond was suggested by Colorado Representative Ken Buck, who told an MSNBC host that the GOP should ignore Fulton County, because it is only a distraction:
image 13.png

Specifically, here’s what Representative Buck said:

"I think ultimately what we as Republicans need to do if we're going to win the White House in November of 2024 is to talk about the issues that Americans care about and try to get away from the Trump indictments and the scandalous nature of the accusations surrounding this president.”

That right there is a profound failure to read the room. Who does Representative Buck think he’s speaking to? Democrats? I question whether Buck actually has any political skills and how he got elected. But either way, let’s label Buck’s baffling suggestion as the position of the the ever-shrinking “GOP establishment” (which I think is a misnomer but that’s for a different post).

Having framed the establishment’s position, here’s the complete headline from the Federalist’s article, including the answer: “How Should Republicans Respond To Fulton County? Indict the Left.” The sub-headline added, “When politicians are tempted to prosecute their enemies for political reasons, they must fear the same thing happening to them.”

Indicting the left is a far cry from ignoring President Trump’s “legal troubles.” But … is it only Charlie Kirk and a permissive editor at the Federalist who feel that way?

Outside the WASPy corridors of establishment power, conservatives seem to realize that President Trump’s legal troubles are actually everyone’s legal troubles. Charlie Kirk was not the only one yesterday advocating for an aggressive, “strike back now” policy. Here’s Uncover DC’s Tracy Beanz:
(images at link below)

And with the same idea, here is Darren Beattie of Revolver News:

Dinesh D’Souza, of 2000 Mules fame, called the Fulton County indictment the greatest Constitutional Crisis since the Civil War:


There’s more. I’m not sure I agree with tit-for-tat prosecutions, mainly because the whole setup feels so much like a planned Hegelian dialectic, where the left’s real objective is to make the right respond a certain way.

But I’m not saying I disagree, either.

As we say in the South, the establishment’s notion of “ignoring” Trump’s “legal problems” is crazier than a sprayed roach. Even if you aren’t a full-throated MAGA patriot, you can see that Trump was only one of nineteen conservatives targeted in the indictment. How about the other eighteen people? Should we ignore them too? And how about all the Michigan alternate electors who now face criminal prosecution for signing a piece of political paper?

Former lefty Constitutional scholar Alan Dershowitz told OAN yesterday that “every election lawyer should be trembling after the fourth Trump Indictment”:

https://twitter.com/baldwin_da.../1691513866264498176

Dershowitz called the indictment, “very very dangerous” because of the signal it sends to election lawyers: if you’re wrong, the other political party is coming after you.

It isn’t a new problem. Here’s a fun fact for you. Since I was dragged into the freedom litigation space, I’ve been hired for five election cases. Of the four that we won, even though I was just the lawyer, I was personally sued in two of those cases. That’s half. One has been dismissed, and the other case is still rolling along on appeal at the 11th Circuit (one of my co-defendants is Governor DeSantis).

Those are civil cases, and my insurance company has been terrific about helping fund my defense. But alleged criminal liability is uninsurable, and therefore unaffordable.

Trump’s former Assistant Secretary of HHS, Michael Caputo, tweeted yesterday that he’d spent over $300,000 dollars on lawyers after he was named as a witness in the Russiagate prosecution:
image 5.png

I don’t doubt it was that expensive. Last year, I represented a high-profile target of the House January 6th investigation, who (so far) has not been criminally referred, but it could still happen. My client paid me to help keep them out of the crosshairs. To do that, my client spent a ton of money on lawyers, just for handling their being a witness in that ridiculous political persecution.

Persecution and prosecution are spelled nearly the same.

BREAKING: Donald Trump Set To Hold Event With Tucker Carlson, Will Not Attend GOP Debate

quote:
On Friday, a report out from The New York Times revealed that leading Republican presidential candidate and 45th President Donald Trump has decided to skip the upcoming GOP debate on Wednesday to instead do an interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

The Times
reports that President Trump has made up his mind over the past 24 hours about attending the debate in Milwaukee, according to insider sources.

Trump has been fickle over the past few months as to whether he would attend the first Republican debate hosted by the Republican National Committee. The biggest sign that he would refuse to participate is the fact that he did not sign the RNC's loyalty pledge that was a prerequisite for participation in the presidential forum.

As previously reported by the DC Enquirer, Trump took to Truth Social Thursday evening to discuss his participation in the debate, writing, "Many people are asking whether or not I will be doing the DEBATES? ALL AMERICANS have been clamoring for a President of extremely High Intelligence. As everyone is aware, my Poll numbers, over a 'wonderful' field of Republican candidates, are extraordinary. In fact, I am leading the runner up, whoever that may now be, by more than 50 Points. Reagan didn’t do it, and neither did others. People know my Record, one of the BEST EVER, so why would I Debate? I’M YOUR MAN. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

While the interview with Tucker Carlson has yet to be finalized, it will likely bring a tremendous to 'Tucker on Twitter' as well as lessen the viewership of the Republican debate featuring the other candidates who have qualified.

Both RNC leadership and Fox News executives have attempted to lobby President Trump to participate in the debates, well knowing that he would bring tremendous ratings to the network. It appears that their efforts, however, were in vain as Carlson solidifies his dominance of the conservative media landscape.

This is a developing story and will be updated accordingly.


The Tucker thing will probably happen DURING the R debate, which Fox is hosting. Giant middle finger by Tucker to Fox. Smile

When you can manufacture ballots and pay people to deliver them by the thousands or 10s of thousands why would they worry? It’s not like anyone with any clout or power is going to arrest them.

They know that they can carry (steal) Phoenix, Atlanta, Philadelphia & Pittsburgh, Detroit, Madison & Milwaukee.
Game over unless the other side does it too.

PRECISELY what the Republicans had better get on board with. If you can't beat 'em (which we can't with the current attitude), then join 'em. F*** 'em at their own (illegal) game!!!

We can't out-cheat them. We have to discover, expose, and prosecute the cheating. It won't be easy.
But if it devolves into both sides cheating and who is better at it, we don't stand a chance.

That same "inordinate arrogance" was present in 2020. They were completely unconcerned that Trump was set to blow Biden out of the water. Hell, he (Biden) never campaigned...or had ten people in an auditorium sitting six feet away from each other. Meanwhile, Trump was filling stadiums. Yet, they were absolutely certain of Biden's win. Why do we suppose that was? (Rhetorical question)

"We have put together I think the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.” Joe Biden

Why wouldn't they be as arrogant today? Republicans have done essentially nothing to prevent the same shenanigans from happening again.

You have a fantastic point. There is nothing gained in being as bad as those you despise. The answer is to expose the corruption and make sure those responsible are held accountable. Nothing else fixes the problem if anything it only makes it worse.
