Trump called Georgia and demanded they “find” him 11,780 votes.
He sent his followers to the Capitol on January 6 to stop the certification of an election he lost.
He spent years screaming about voter fraud that never existed.
This wasn’t a protest.
It was an attempt to overthrow a legitimate election.
And the people who still defend it call themselves patriots. #RepublicanCostOfCorruption
@Cobiker08@JoJoFromJerz I agree with your quote, but don’t believe it is correctly applied here. Nepotism on the heels of a political career that ended only because of death does not reduce the potential for corruption—it amplifies it.
It’s absolutely incredible that Trump is bragging that his tax cuts for the wealthy made it possible for his friend to buy a private plane, while the rest of us struggle with higher bills because of his tariffs, unnecessary wars, and reckless policies.
WOW! GOP ELECTION CRIME ALERT: James Saunders, a Shaker Heights Republican lawyer and Trump donor, was sentenced to 3 years plus $10K for illegally voting in '20 and '22.
The judge slammed him: "Crime against every citizen's right to ONE vote—one voice." The "voter fraud" party is literally committing voter fraud.
Every accusation is a confession with these people.
Walter Cronkite: After liberating execution camps… Germans (who cried) they didn’t know…were as as guilty as Nazis…because they applauded when Hitler shut down (media) and said, ‘We don’t need to know. We trust our government...’
It’s our duty to know.
This dandy from the WSJ Editorial Board:
"Since Mr. Trump declassified the memo, we can quote the part he didn’t. “Vote tabulation systems would be difficult to manipulate on a wide enough scale to compromise election results,” it says. “The systems in each voting location are not connected to the Internet or to each other, and many methods for exploiting them rely on physical proximity.” Achieving it across many jurisdictions “would be difficult” and “audits and paper trails very likely would uncover such an effort."
...
"Unfortunately, the message from Mr. Trump and others has been that America’s elections can’t be trusted, and the only hope is the SAVE America Act. Aside from being untrue, this is a political backfire for the GOP. If Republican voters believe it, and the bill falls short, then why waste time going to the polls in November? Has the GOP already forgotten how Mr. Trump’s fraud outbursts cost them two Senate seats in the 2021 Georgia runoffs?"

This is textbook corruption.
Trump has been promoting more than 20 companies on Truth Social—just days after buying their stock. He ran on draining the swamp, but now he’s shamelessly turning the presidency into a personal enrichment scheme for himself and his family.
We need to end this grift and significantly reform our institutions to prevent it from happening.

#BREAKING: Liz Oyer: “I was shocked to hear Mr Blanche’s testimony about this yesterday. What he said about my firing is provably false. His claim that it had nothing to do with the concerns I raised is contradicted by documents and evidence. His claim that he tried to call me before sending marshals to my home is flat out false. His claim that it is normal for DOJ to use armed law enforcement officers to deliver mail to the homes of its former employees is preposterous. The casual lies that Mr Blanche tells, even while sitting in this chair testifying to this committee, are emblematic of a much larger problem. To the American public, it looks like Mr Blanche is running DOJ as Donald Trump’s personal law firm. Americans across the political spectrum rely on DOJ to keep us safe and free. Mr Blanche has shown that he is willing to put all of that at risk to serve a political agenda. I beg the members of this committee to think about what this is costing our country. Please do not degrade our justice system further by promoting Mr Blanche.” 😳
MAJOR BREAKING: Trump just stated that The Trump admin allowed China to obtain 220 million American Voter files and his intel agency downplayed it all!
IMPEACH!
@krassenstein This tracks completely with what we already found out with Smirnov, russia's agent who planted hoaxes about Burisma and Hunter Biden into Republian narratives. Mother Jones covered this.
HOLY CRAP!
The documents Trump just released following his speech show that Russians worked with American officials to advance stories about Burisma and Joe Biden being corrupt.
Someone is going to get fired tonight for accidentally allowing this one to be declassified.
BREAKINGNEWS Trump declassified documents proving that Russia was spreading propaganda agaisnt President Joe Biden in 2020 election. The final assessment is no votes were changed in voting machine, and election integrity was secure.
Propaganda could have changed minds and votes prior to voting but no election machines were hacked or altered. 🚨
Raphael Warnock: “Donald Trump lost Georgia in 2020. That’s not my opinion, it’s a fact. The votes were counted, recounted, audited, and litigated. He lost, he lost, he lost. He’s trying to sow doubt on the integrity of our elections in Georgia so he can create the pretext to interfere in 2026. This president is a liar, a cheater, and a fraud and he has shown us over and over again that staying in power matters more to him than anything else”
JD Vance was told directly the pet eating story was baseless before he shared it with eleven million people. He later admitted he "creates stories" to get attention. Today the TPS protections that hoax helped justify actually expired. Haitian workers lost the legal right to work. The lie became policy.
