A message to every MAGA Patriot on X: Donald Trump lied to you.

Donald Trump told you that Republicans would steal the 2016 primary for Ted Cruz. He wanted you to call it fraud if Ted Cruz won, so he lied to you.

He told you Democrats would steal the 2016 general election for Hillary. He wanted you to call it fraud if she won, so he lied to you.

He told you they would steal it again in 2020, through mail-in voting, “illegals,” “ballot harvesting,” Dominion voting machines, and more.

He wanted you to call it fraud if Biden won, so he lied to you.

He expected to lose every time. When he finally did, you still fell for it. But it’s not your fault.

Every single person, news outlet, and organization who would profit off a second Trump term repeated his lies so you’d stay firm in your belief and so you’d distrust our system.

They thought if they lied enough and got you angry enough, you would help Trump stay in office by doing something crazy... something like storming the Capitol during the electoral college certification.

Then they lied to you and said J6 was Antifa and the FBI in disguise, not real Trump supporters. Four years later, Trump is planning a ceremony next month to thank the MAGA supporters who were there that day.

If you look at the actual facts and ignore everything Trump and people on TV and social media have said to you to trick you… Here is what we know:

Every Trump administration official who testified under penalty of perjury about the 2020 election confirmed there was no evidence of widespread voter fraud or illegal voting.

Every lawsuit regarding the 2020 election was dismissed, even by Trump-appointed judges.

The only reason you think that you can’t trust our election results, that there is widespread voter fraud, or that Democrats can somehow rig elections is that Trump lost ONE TIME. That’s it. Just once.

Is that really so hard to believe, especially considering that so many Americans knew someone who had died from COVID?

Folks, he’s already lying to you again.

Trump’s team is working on new phony lawsuits for November. They’re even filing lawsuits early to un-enroll tens of thousands of voters in swing states like Arizona. so the margin of victory is close enough to claim “FRAUD!” when he loses.

Trump’s team also has a plan to end all election monitoring if he’s re-elected, so Republicans can yell “FRAUD!” again in 2028 with no way for the government to tell if there was fraud or not.

They are doing exactly what they accuse Democrats of doing: destroying the integrity of our elections. Don’t. Fall. For. It.

If you still can’t believe it, think about this...

Here’s Trump last month saying that the Republican Party will have lawyers at every poll booth in November.

He’s still going to say there was widespread fraud despute attorneys watching every voting location and despite telling Fox News viewers that he doesn’t need their votes.

If you think he’s telling the truth, then you should trust that the election will be safe and secure. The lawyers will stop non-citizens from voting and stop Americans from voting twice. You have nothing to worry about, right?

So if he still blames widespread fraud for losing, then he’ll be lying, won’t he?

On the other hand, if you agree that having a lawyer at every poll booth isn't possible, then you know he’s lying to you already, right?

There IS a corrupt, globalist elite who want to destroy our country and our democracy. But it isn’t the Democrats.

It’s the party led by the man who has over a dozen countries around the globe invested in his companies and his presidency.

If you are a Trump supporter and this post has made you start to wonder, even a little bit, if it’s true that Trump has been a conman this entire time, you might find some answers at our website.

Wishing you all a safe and healthy future,

@justspace7 ‘Developers want to get on with it’. Making money, we presume. They’ve been slow to build in order to keep prices high, haven’t they?

The MSM did not cover the scandal of Mogg's REUL Bill which revoked 600 EU/UK laws on 31st Dec 2023 with 1000s more for the chop by 2026, never in history have so many laws been gutted in one fell swoop, now it falls to Keir 'we will not rejoin the EU in my lifetime' Starmer to prevent this?....
You were all conned, Brexit is being forced to work as the UK is carved up into 86 corporate run free zones.
8 Freeports and 48 SEZs in England.
2 Freeports and 18 SEZs in Scotland
2 Freeports and 8 SEZs in Wales.
Guess what? Labour signed off on these capitalist paradises as board members of Sunak and Truss's nationwide Freeports/SEZs consortia.

[Queen's Market @FoQMarket]

Architects, builders: is this a Schedule of Works? We asked for one, to explain why it may take 6 MONTHS to replace the market’s Canopies, two simple structures. Front of the Market is closed for works, it’s bad for trade. Again this is a ‘Good growth’ project😡😡

[Queen's Market @FoQMarket]

@edwardpool40795 @ZoeGarbett 😂

[Queen's Market @FoQMarket]

Good Growth? We’re glad the Mayor of London is asking whether GG grant money (£7.3 million to Queen’s Market) is being spent right. Almost no improvement after £2 million spent💰 Thanks AM @ZoeGarbett for getting the mayor to hear the traders, also at @SaveRidleyRoad

[Queen's Market @FoQMarket]

@NewhamGreens @ZoeGarbett Yes our market is vital for survival - healthy, affordable food and it’s a community space. We want to see some improvements from the millions of pounds given by Mayor of London - where’s the money gone? (Did anyone ask for a new office for the management…?)

[Queen's Market @FoQMarket]

@ZoeGarbett It’s great to see @MayorofLondon being told about the mis-spending of his ‘good growth’ money, like the £800,000 on pigeon netting and new lights that are worse than before. Thank you Zoe for inviting the Mayor to see for himself, we’ll welcome him gladly.

[Queen's Market @FoQMarket]

@justspace7 The very good bookshop downstairs has probably gone.

[Queen's Market @FoQMarket]

@BalfronSocial At Queen’s Market we’re due to get a ‘wellbeing centre’ and niche workspace, taking half of the £7.3 million ‘good growth’ grant (Mayor of London) while the market itself is given no money to mend the roof or put down the promised new floor.

What is the "Labour YIMBY Group" and why is it sponsored by Corporate Property developers?

[Nate Higgins @natehiggins]

As a councillor for one of Get Living’s largest developments I’d be very concerned if Get Living’s vision for community building - providing zero permanent community or religious space - is shared by Labour’s YIMBY group.

They should be an instruction manual on what *not* to do.

@Xanthip28429540 @LDNRentersUnion Funny how boroughs who talk a lot about poverty, like ours, also spend hundreds of thousands on consultants 💰

[EuropeanPowell @EuropeanPowell]

Questions for Starmer's changed Labour Party.
'Why did you agree to fully back Sunak's 12 deregulated Freeports and 74 Special Economic Zones as sitting board members of his nationwide Freeports/SEZs consortia considering SEZs flawed histories?'
The honest answer would be, 'because Brexit has allowed us to make our own laws and carve up the UK into 86 tax havens' in a deregulatory race to the bottom.
If these zones are tax-exempt for 10 years how exactly does this ensure economic growth and 'Leveling Up' for the residents of communities inside these SEZs?
Why has Rachel Reeves 6 days into office refused permission for the National Audit Office to investigate corruption in Teesside SEZ/Freeport despite the House of Commons Committee April 2024 report into England's SEZs and Freeports citing a serious lack of transparency, questions over value for taxpayers money, and ignoring the Nolan principles?
Why has Labour given the green light to a whole list of corporations like Blackrock, Blackstone, Amazon, Google, London Stock Exchange, Deloitte, Uber to implement legalized lawlessness and corporate governance inside these zones of exception just as the public sector collapses along with dozens of councils going bankrupt?

Protesting at the Council meeting in Stratford this evening. FoQM say higher market rents mean higher prices for shoppers. The good-value prices at Queens Market are vital to working people feeding their families - that's why we say 'hands off Queens Market! Protect our market!

[Queen's Market @FoQMarket]

Mayor rightly opposes closure of Stratford mini-market saying her 'interest is to protect the livelihoods of local traders'. But if her market options materialise for Queens Market it will result in shop demolitions and stall shrinkage - damaging/finishing off trader livelihoods.
