Just a dark elf making their way in the world.

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?"

@bobpockrass @IndyCarOnFOX That is quite disappointing. I keep hearing these are some of the best athletes in the world. Wasn’t that taken into account when they scheduled in Nashville in July?!?

[muirdruik @muirdruik]

Hey @POTUS. You’ve said we’ve decimated Iran something like 30 times. At some point in time are you actually going to know what you’re talking about? The fact you didn’t understand they could shut down the Straight of Hormuz at will is more than just an oversight.

[muirdruik @muirdruik]

@LoneStarLegendX Because there’s no actual evidence. You think if there was actual evidence, Trump wouldn’t have had people arrested by now? How gullible are you? Apparently gullible enough to believe there must be evidence despite losing 63 court cases, 29 of them on the merits.

[muirdruik @muirdruik]

@jsolomonReports @bariweiss @CBSNews Because those 240 million voter files are the same ones the @GOP, Deomocrats, and countless corporations have because they are *publicly* available! Why do you want to scare Citizens regarding their public information?

[Utah Democratic Party @UtahDemocrats]

Mike Lee wants to take away a system Utahns trust, not because it's broken, but because it doesn't serve his politics. Utah's own audit found that 99.7% of voters are citizens.

His crusade against vote-by-mail is about partisan politics, not protecting our elections.

@Acyn Ummm…The national average today is $3.99. The national average 2 years ago according to AAA Fuel Prices was $3.50. People should *definitely* take your facts seriously!

Two more Americans dead. The president must go to Congress -and to the American people - and explain why he’s gambling with the lives of U.S. service members.

It’s because he’s lying to you, Maria. He has always lied to you, and somewhere beneath all of the worship you have heaped upon him you know that too. Whatever shame you do have is keeping you from just admitting you let yourself be lied to. You’re far from alone.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

These people are "confused" that Iran is pounding US bases and Arab dictatorships because they mindlessly believe everything they hear about Iran and the war from Trump, Fox News, neocon "analysts," and paid MAGA influencers.

It's simple: they've been lying to you, again:

[muirdruik @muirdruik]

@itsrosesm Ah! So there was no other way to see the speech? Did you feel this same way in 2022 when networks refused to carry a speech by Biden? I’m *sure* you railed against that!

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This would be a huge scandal for any other president.

A South Korean company challenging Commerce Department trade penalties paid Donald Trump’s holding company $2,000,000 last year.

The payment came from Base Group, the lead investor in Korea Aluminium, which faced penalties after the Commerce Department found that South Korean companies were circumventing trade duties on Chinese-made aluminum. The money surfaced in Trump’s annual financial disclosure released in late June.

The disclosure described it only as a nonrefundable development fee tied to a letter of intent. The Trump Organization says it relates to an unannounced golf course project.

Base Group has courted the Trump family for nearly a decade. It sells Trump-branded wine in South Korea and hosted Eric Trump at its Seoul headquarters in February, where executives discussed expanding trade between the two countries.

As recently as last month, the Commerce Department was weighing whether to raise tariffs further on Korea Aluminium. A preliminary review released last week sided with American aluminum companies. The agency that decides this company’s fate answers to the president. The president took $2,000,000 dollars from its largest investor.

This is one payment. Trump’s holding company collected at least $125,000,000 from foreign sources last year, from more than a dozen countries.

Every president in modern history stepped away from their business to avoid even the appearance of a conflict. This president kept nearly 30 ventures with foreign partners and now profits from companies whose fortunes his own government controls.

This cannot be normalized.

Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

Hey @StephenM 👋

Any updates?

The actual attempt to steal the 2020 election .

[muirdruik @muirdruik]

@ScottPresler @elonmusk Leave it to Scott to want to take governmental lessons from Olive Garden. You should be embarrassed. If only there was actual evidence that our elections have been compromised instead of just trying to scare US citizens by saying China has their information from the voter roles.

A reminder on the evolution of 2020 "stolen election" theories: First we had mail-in fraud + Dominion + "illegal law changes" (Nov–Dec 2020) then → Georgia election workers + foreign interference/Italygate (Dec 2020–Jan 2021, concurrent) then → 2,000 Mules (ballot stuffers) (2022) then → social-media-censorship revival via Twitter Files (Dec 2022) then → renewed foreign-interference claims (2024–present).

Through all this, we've had:

1. Dominion getting $787 million from Fox News for defamation

2. Rudy Giuliani admitting he lied about Georgia election workers (and the jury awarding the workers $148 million)

3. Sidney Powell admitting in court "no reasonable person would conclude" her claims of election fraud “were truly statements of fact"

4. The Gateway Pundit retracting claims of election fraud in Atlanta

5. The Media company that put out D'Souza's 2,000 Mules film apologizing and removing it after law enforcement proved it falsely accused people of fraud

6. Newsmax and One America News Network (OANN) settling with Smartmatic

It is NOT true that none of these allegations have seen a court room. Most have. Of the 64 cases of fraud that Trump and his legal team filed in court, 30 were dismissed that included a hearing on the merits, 14 were voluntarily dismissed by Trump and his allies before a hearing, and just 20 were dismissed for lack of standing before a hearing on the merits. One case, involving far too few votes to impact the election, prevailed in Pennsylvania. That case was about voter ID deadlines, not election fraud.

Those are the facts.

Whatever happens Thursday night, please try to remember them.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

On April 15, 2025, Donald Trump went on Truth Social to celebrate Nvidia and promise that “all necessary permits will be expedited and quickly delivered.”

His followers had no way of knowing that days earlier he had purchased between $200,000 and $500,000 of Nvidia stock.

This wasn’t an isolated incident.

Trump promoted more than 20 companies on Truth Social after buying their stock, sometimes while announcing government actions that could benefit those same companies.

The President of the United States is buying stock, publicly promoting those companies from his official platform, and in some cases announcing government actions that could increase their value.
No American should have to wonder whether presidential decisions are being made for the public good or for the President’s investment portfolio.

That is a profound conflict of interest and a betrayal of the public trust.

This conduct must be addressed by Congress and the courts. The President should never be allowed to profit from the market-moving power of the office.

Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

@amuse Funny have people like you never call into question the 2024 election. The last election was secure, but 2020 wasn’t despite no evidence? Please…

@MikeBales No one has ever said there is zero fraud. They’ve said there’s no systemic fraud. You don’t lose 63 court cases (including 29 on the merits) because evidence is on your side.
