The Indictment of Donald Trump Is The Real Threat To Democracy

https://www.newsweek.com/trump-jan-6-indictment-latest-strike-war-wrongthink-opinion-1817283

 

“Seems like every day, someone is finding new, fun types of election fraud. This is not accidental -- this is exactly how industrial, at-scale, organized fraud is uncovered. We call it spiraling to accuracy.  When our team was hired by State Farm, GEICO, USAA, and other top insurers to stop organized auto fraud rings, we found the easy stuff fast -- the equivalent of phantom voters……..”shape shifters”:  testing for people who left one address, moved to a district with a tight election, voted, then moved back to their same address in less than X months….. tens of millions of dollars in illegal, outside contributions coming in, then being carefully redistributed to leftist candidates all over the country…..Law enforcement’s term-of-art for this criminal endeavor is “SMURF.”

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2023/08/a_new_day_a_new_type_of_election_fraud_.html

 

“The sustained government attacks against Donald Trump have implications that extend far beyond his presidential campaign. They present a serious constitutional crisis that has the potential to destroy America……. Imagine you are the president of the United States, and you want to remain in power (or keep your party in power). Now imagine that you control the Department of Justice, the FBI, and a host of other intelligence agencies. What would stop you from bringing multiple criminal cases against your main political rival? And if you are being investigated by Congress for bribery and other crimes, what would stop you from bringing criminal indictments against those in Congress who pose a threat? Political prosecution is the nuclear weapon of election interference. In the hands of a corrupt politician, anything is possible. In the United States, the only barrier we have had to the use of this powerful weapon is tradition. But now, that tradition of restraint is gone.”

The List of Topics We’re Not Supposed to Write About unless we want to be “demonetized” by big tech:   it’s not just "climate change" that gets us demonetized and unable to fund our work. It’s a whole list of story topics including election irregularities, voter fraud, the COVID-19 pandemic, COVID-19 vaccine side effects and coverups, protecting women’s sports and spaces from biological men, child sex trafficking, and much more.  All of these stories get “flagged.”  (and our ad revenue disappears)

TUCKER

New biography of Tucker Carlson.  “Inside Tucker’s World” Moore tells us enough about Tucker’s parents to enable us to see just how strikingly different they were – the unholy mess of a mother who stiffed her sons in her will, and the dutiful, down-to-earth father who couldn’t be prouder of his sons. (Tucker’s “free spirited” hippie artist mother disappeared from his life when he was 6 years old)

TRUMP, DESANTIS

After long denying he had power over election certification, Mike Pence suddenly has a different version of events.  He now admits that he could have rejected the electors on January 6, 2020, which would have turned the matter over to the House of Representatives (AKA the people's house), but did not do so because he feared "chaos".
