Republicans & their enablers, esp. those at well funded institutions & think tanks, are furthering #TheBigLie by telling voters that the 2024 election is already 'rigged'🚨& aiding in #TFG's pres. campaign:
"The Heritage FND (Leonard Leo's) is already declaring the 2024 election rigged beyond repair."
-L Jedeed
"The Electoral College, malapportioned Senate, & gerrymandered House all give REPUBLICANS an advantage beyond their national support, not Democrats."
-S Wolf
#MAGA crowd: moved from attempting to delegitimize: an election -to the judicial system -from defaming: election workers -to jurors. In keeping with other fascist mvts, the MAGA cult attempts to undermine every inst. & person resisting its authoritarian leader. Biden: smart to reiterate that message daily +Dems must denounce the mvt's coord. assault on the #ruleoflaw. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/06/03/jury-delegitimize-trump-conviction/
MSM needs to interview Independents too. Few will support the #Felon as the GOP presidential nominee, & most will likely support Pres Biden for president:
"Better late than never I guess. CNN did something that's been sorely lacking in the media these days, which is to talk to what's left of some of the sane voters in the Republican party who are disgusted with Trump and voted for Nikki Haley in the primary."
Dem candidates: Sen/HSE... must unite with a message on the #Felon: verdict integral to #TFG's 2016 win: guilty, so presidency: essentially illegit. due to election interference, RU help, esp. SM, hack...
The force of this truth should inform how Dems proceed now. Biden campaign: no plans for any paid ads on the verdict. After TFG/elite enablers attempted mightily to wreck the whole system to keep him beyond accountability at all costs -jury -said: No.
As predicted, GOP leaders are exposing their corruption & lawlessness, siding with #TFG, a felon, & some are making threats. The judge, jurors (if names are leaked), witnesses, Dem leaders... are in danger. How will the DOJ deal with the threats?
TX Gov Abbott:
"This was a sham show trial. The Kangaroo Court will never stand on appeal.
Americans deserve better than a sitting US Pres. weaponizing our justice system against a pol opponent—all to win an election.
So far there aren’t any ethical Republicans currently serving in Senate & House, or the SOH, or R governors… who have called for #TFG to step down as the presumptive GOP presidential nominee or have called him shameful, deeply corrupt… Sen Collins is considered a moderate, & she’s not known for being openly corrupt, but she is just like her colleagues, demonstrating her contempt for the legal system & the Constitution. These politicians are co-conspirators & traitors to America. #GOPConspirators
A former Congressman, supporter of #TFG, & founding member of the #MAGA freedom caucus, questions Republican leaders on their decision to likely nominate Trump as their presidential candidate:
"Donald Trump
GUILTY of 34 felonies per jury of 12 random citizens (none sought job).
GOP faces choice. USA future at stake.
Keep Trump as nominee & gamble USA’s future.
OR
Replace Trump with a good character nominee & BEAT THE STEW OUT OF BIDEN!"
-Mo Brooks
This statement by #MAGAMike is disqualifying for the 2nd in line for the presidency. The rule of law is sacrosanct in America. House Dems shouldn’t save his speakership again. Speaker Johnson is lawless, & not worthy of serving in Congress. Ditto for the other traitors in the Senate & the House.
"TFG becomes first ex-president convicted of felonies in election fraud case."
-D Rothkopf
"Accountability is happening because we are a democracy and rule of law applies... we have a responsibility as citizens to recognize the gravity of this moment."
-R Maddow
#TFG is finally facing prison time. The rule of law stands. Justice can still be served in America. If the Republican Party has any integrity left (doubtful), their leaders will replace him on the presidential ticket, but many GOP leaders are co-conspirators. Will they be held resp.?
"I almost wouldn’t be surprised if Judge Merchan had added:
“It doesn’t really matter whether he broke the law. If you can agree on the fact that you dislike Trump, go ahead & return a ‘guilty’ verdict.”
-Sen Lee
"For generations, Americans have sacrificed their lives for our freedoms. They didn’t make that sacrifice so Mike Lee could undermine our justice system to feed his pol ambitions. Lee is a fascist traitor in a party of fascist traitors."
-M Jacob
Another Republican co-conspirator, Rep Kimble: This traitor is supposed to represent the constituents of #CA54, but instead, he's more loyal to #TFG than to his district & to uphold the #ruleoflaw:
"People are laughing this off as ignorant. I see it as intentional, part of a propaganda strategy aimed at uninformed voters who will say: "another example of Dems going after our beloved Trump & trying to frame him!"
-R Ben-Ghiat
Musk & Trump's ties are deepening. They've discussed a possible advisor role for Musk should Trump win the pres. election. Musk & N Peltz have briefed Trump on a data-driven voter fraud project & anti-Biden efforts.
They discussed ways to give Musk formal input & influence over policies related to border security & the economy (Musk has no expertise in...), both issues on which Musk has grown more vocal.
Pres Biden's advisors must see what Netanyahu is signaling. If the president doesn't make an about face on Israel soon, he doesn't just lose some young voters, other cohorts may stay home in Nov., thereby electing #TFG.
"A top Israeli security official says he expects 'another seven months of fighting' in Gaza will be needed to defeat Hamas."
Pioneer CEO Scott Sheffield, founder & CEO of TX oil producer Pioneer Natural Resources, attempted to collude with OPEC & its allies to inflate oil prices, fed regulators alleged.
-reported on 5/2/24
🚨"Sheffield claims Blackrock, TIAA, & Fidelity were coordinating oil production cuts across the IDU."
-M Stoller
FTC CHM Khan: Sheffield won't be on Exxon's BoD bc he colluded to⬆️gas prices.
#TFG/Rs sink to new lows (Dante's inferno seems relevant).
How is this not bigger news?
TFG posted a video of one of his supporters attacking "blowjob liberals" & raging that if TFG is elected, he'll "get rid" of liberals, who'll be "gone." He’ll get rid of all you fucking liberals. You liberals are gone when he fucking wins."
The video he posted got notice for attacking JoeNBC.
By promoting this video, he endorsed that sentiment re libs generally.
US taxpayers have paid for this scam. #TFG’s three presidential campaigns have collected a combined &10.1M from the Secret Service, tasked with protecting him. The DOJ has repeatedly failed to hold him accountable for…
“Questions raised over Trump’s profiting off his Secret Service detail while he campaigns.” #GOPConspirators#GOPCorruptionhttps://www.rawstory.com/trump-proftting-off-secret-service/
Germany’s largest far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) has been expelled from its pan-European group Identity and Democracy in the European Parliament following a series of scandals.
The ID group’s leadership has now voted to expel the AfD, two weeks before millions of people head to the polls to vote in the European election.
Why weren’t these facts disclosed earlier? Disqualifying from a SCJ.
S Alito, 2 yrs after flying an upside-down🇺🇸flag outside his home -flew at his vacation home an 'Appeal to Heaven' flag *carried by rioters on J6. Appears -flown over the course of several months.
"Alito's isn't just flying the same flags as the J6 rioters -doing so as a continuation of their coup attempt. SCOTUS is the 1st branch of gov't to full fall to #MAGA."
-D Rothkopf
"The HSE has been idled for 30 minutes now after Republicans demanded that words of Rep McGovern D-MA be 'taken down.' McGovern spoke about Donald Trump & was admonished by the Chair before making this statement⬇️:
After an extended delay, the Chair rules that McGovern's words are out of order, seemingly saying members cannot even talk about criminal charges against Trump on the HSE floor. The words below were stricken from the Record."
-J Dupree
Why is there a threat of violence? MSM doesn't generally acknowledge the source, the instigators: #TFG, R leaders, & their enablers, incl. #RWMedia.
Half of swing-state voters say they’re worried about violence surrounding the US pres. election. Roughly equal shares of Dems & Rs hold that fear, & it's even more common among INDEPs. That result makes for a backdrop of apprehension as Biden & Trump gear up to spar in a debate in June-.
