OH THIS IS GOOD!!
A Pennsylvania Republican lawmakers lawsuit against a local newspaper just backfired spectacularly, exposing DAMNING 2020 election emails between top state officials and the Trump administration.
State Senator Dan Laughlins defamation lawsuit against "The Erie Reader" opened him up to discovery, and ended up revealing a series of emails pertaining to Trump's pressure campaign on Pennsylvania Republicans to illegally overthrow the election in 2020.
High level communications between far-right gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano, and member of Trump legal team Christina Cobb, is part of the information that's been released.
In those emails, Mastriano expressed his concern that Trump's proposal to overturn the election was "illegal." The emails also detail how Trump PERSONALLY called Mastriano and pressured him to overturn the election, and even furnished false documents about Dominion Voting Systems "rigging the election against Biden" in an effort to do so.
“We’re not saying a word on this crap,” Laughlin said in an email after he got word of the plan, worried about his own parties attempt to unlawfully overturn the election.
It seems like the emails implicate Trump in yet another crime. Unreal.
State Senator Dan Laughlin sued the Erie Reader and the Erie Reader got the goods.
File this under "when defamation suits backfire."

Legalize marijuana. Regulate it. Tax it.
But let me be clear: legalization must include expungement for those in jail or who have served time for possessing small amounts of marijuana.
Our Black & brown communities have been disproportionately impacted by this for far too long.

I will not laugh at the trump supporter who perished in the Capitol when he accidentally tased himself in the nuts and had a heart attack but if there is a more poetic analogy for this administration I can’t imagine what it might be.

The hypocrisy of the Trump thuggery can be epitomized by a seditious rioter beating a police officer at the Capitol with an American flag. It was never about the flag, or “blue lives matter.” These were mere props in a movement fueled by power, injustice, and racism.
YouTube is the new Trump TV.
