The former Republican Attorney General concealed evidence he found that showed there was no fraud.

“Investigators prepared a report in March 2022 stating that virtually all claims of error and malfeasance were unfounded, according to internal documents reviewed by The Washington Post. Brnovich, a Republican, kept it private”

But MAGA Republicans are liars, so nothing new here.

If Trump were still President he wouldn’t visit Ukraine, he would visit Moscow. With Biden, NATO has become stronger.

Let’s remember Trump tried to extort the President of Ukraine by withholding weapons in exchange for an announcement that Ukraine was investigating Biden.

Because the GOP only supports parental rights if they agree with the parents. 

And the GOP only wants small government when it doesn’t want intrusive government.

She wants the nation to match her own personal circumstances. Divorced, alone, and bitter.

The only trans woman in the GOP called for secession on Lincoln’s Birthday. The reason? Woke culture and immigration.

“Newly released messages show Fox executives fretting that month over an uncomfortable revelation: that if they told their audience the truth about the election, it could destroy their business model”

“Getting creamed by CNN!” Murdoch wrote to Scott on Nov. 8, a day after most news organizations declared that Biden had won. “Guess our viewers don’t want to watch it.”

Their “business model” is to tell stupid people what the want to hear.

It’s official, the GOP is no longer trying to cut or kill the two great Democratic entitlement programs. Biden the puppet master pulled the strings and had Republicans standing and applauding for the two entitlement programs created by FDR and LBJ on national television during his SOTU speech last week.

Now, Rick Scott (R) Florida revised his plan to exclude the two big expenditures from being defunded with all other federal spending. SS and Medicare account for 25% of annual spending. This is proof that Socialism is fine as long as it benefits white middle class people and not just poor people, especially poor people of color.

A judge authorized the release of some of the Grand Jury report for the case in Georgia regarding Trump’s illegal election meddling 

.
“The grand jury heard extensive testimony on the subject of alleged election fraud from poll workers, investigators, technical experts, and State of Georgia employees and officials, as well as from persons still claiming that such fraud took place," the report reads. “We find by a unanimous vote that no widespread fraud took place in the Georgia 2020 presidential election that could result in overturning that election

“…the cost-of-thriving index (COTI), which starts from a simple premise: Americans must prioritize five sets of goods when providing for their family. That includes food, housing, health care, transportation and higher education. Those who can pay for those needs without worry can enjoy some luxuries without risking their children’s future”

“The news is sobering: In 1985, it took 39.7 weeks of work each year to pay for these things, giving families plenty of room to enjoy other consumer goods and luxuries. But today, it takes 62.1 weeks of work to cover the same expenses. In other words, about 40 years ago, the median American family could enjoy a middle-class life on one earner’s paycheck. Today, it takes two.“

Think of these things that didn’t exist for my parents when they were young parents- 

Cable TV and/or HULU, Cell phone service, high employment taxes for SS and Medicare, internet connection, 

“Haley made her announcement in a 3½-minute video released online, in which she declares, “It’s time for a new generation of leadership.” The video emphasizes Haley’s gender and her family’s immigrant roots”

Did she forget that Republicans don’t particularly care for women or immigrants?

In 1965, the year I was born, so not exactly ancient history, a football star on the Kansas City Chiefs could not find a house to buy in the suburbs of Kansas City. There were plenty of houses for sale, the player made good money, and there wasn’t anything wrong with his credit score.

The problem was he was black.

“Future Hall of Fame linebacker Bobby Bell says he looked at more than 200 houses for his family in the mid-1960s, getting denied by realtors and bankers who refused to underwrite his mortgage. Head coach Hank Stram, who was White and lived in a planned suburb in Prairie Village, Kan., made calls on Bell’s behalf to no avail. “You couldn’t do anything,” Bell said. “They didn’t want to take you.”

“players proposed building an integrated apartment complex that featured central air conditioning and a pool shaped like a football. The city council denied the plan over zoning issues”

“Bell eventually bought a house in Prairie Village in 1968, after a White man purchased it and rented to Bell until he could find a willing mortgage underwriter. Shortly after Bell moved in, a White neighbor showed up at his door with a flier organizing a protest against him”

-  When my father and in-laws die in the coming years I will inherit over a million dollars worth of real estate. Imagine the effect not being able to get a mortgage for a house has had on generations of black families. It’s a disgrace. And this is why reparations for black families should be explored.

The wack job Congressional hearings aren’t going so well for MAGA Republicans 

“The day after leaving the White House, Kushner created a company that he transformed months later into a private equity firm with $2 billion from a sovereign wealth fund chaired by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Kushner’s firm structured those funds in such a way that it did not have to disclose the source, according to previously unreported details of Securities and Exchange Commission forms reviewed by The Washington Post. His business used a commonly employed strategy that allows many equity firms to avoid transparency about funding sources, experts said”

Now isn’t this the exact kind of thing MAGA Republicans are saying Hunter Biden did?

“The Republican governor’s campaign wanted weapons banned from his victory celebration at the city-run Tampa Convention Center, a city official said in emails obtained by The Washington Post. And the campaign suggested that the city take responsibility for the firearms ban, the official said — not the governor, who has been a vocal supporter of gun rights.“

Looks like Trump will be attacking Ron for being a RINO

Why didn’t Trump do that?

This will fund the replacement of lead pipes in water systems for 10 million Americans. Why didn’t Trump do that?

But Republicans are investigating Hunter Biden’s laptop!

This will rebuild and strengthen the supply chain in America and create jobs.

As a result, Intel is building a factory in Columbus, Ohio. Thanks Joe!

In the SOTU Biden introduced a steel worker who’s union workers will benefit from the work.

Does Cincinnati deserve it? 

So sad

At least Democrats got it for seniors on Medicare 

“All of this amounts to a historic achievement. Not only did the ACA survive multiple attempts by Republicans to repeal the law and reduce outreach, but it also managed to drive down uninsured rate to a record low of 8 percent last year. That’s in large part because of the Biden administration’s competent management of the program and extension of subsidies over united GOP opposition”

“In the midterms, almost no Republican — other than Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin — talked about repealing the ACA. That might be because the ACA is widely used in red states. Nine of the 10 states with the highest enrollment rates are led by Republicans. In other words, red states are getting a ride on the federal program their political leaders have long lambasted.


“The best thing for the country would be to have a president in 2025 who represents a new chapter,” Emily Seidel, chief executive of the network’s flagship group, Americans for Prosperity (AFP)

Translation - Trump is a moron and it was a big mistake to elect him in the first place in 2016

Not our resident idiot Wylted. Here’s his worst:

Not only is the US sending 31 Abrams tanks to Ukraine, but he is also sending Bradley Fighting Vehicles and Stryker Armored personnel carriers. Plus Germany and other NATO Allies are sending even more. Remember Russia invaded eastern Ukraine long before Biden was President.

Oh, and let’s not forget Trump was impeached for attempting to extort Ukraine - trying to trade weapons for help with his re-election campaign, in the “perfect phone call”.  He ultimately lost his election, lied and said it was stolen, then encouraged a mob of idiots to raid the Capitol, thus ending our record of a peaceful transfer of power for the first time in American history. What a disgrace!

He declines to answer any questions because he is so innocent.

Here is Trump. So sad. He is a sad little man. Like a small child, he keeps saying how it’s not fair - that everyone is a against him. When he reads the statement prepared for him by his lawyers, he sounds like a 5th grader. His supporters are even sadder than Trump. They think if he wins then maybe they aren’t the losers that know they are. 

“The new rules will greatly limit the public release of lawmakers’ communications. State senators will not have to disclose any text messages sent on personal devices, even when dealing with state business. For lawmakers in both the Senate and the House, emails and other documents will be destroyed after 90 days — in many cases, well before members of the public know to ask for them”

.
“It does seem like they’re just trying to find a way to be able to operate in the dark, which is incredibly anti-democratic. It’s anti-American, quite frankly,”

The Reagan, Bush and Trump tax cuts were mostly a giveaway to the rich, cutting taxes for this country’s wealthiest people.

Republicans are again proposing the government cut Social Security and Medicare benefits that seniors rely on. They are trying to use the debt ceiling limit as leverage to get Democrats to agree.

Medicare could be strengthened by raising the Medicare tax from its current 1.45% rate for employee and employer. What would you rather do, pay another half percent tax or pay for your mother’s hip replacement yourself?

Social Security could be strengthened by changing the cap on earnings taxed to tax incomes over 500K, similar to the additional Medicare tax created to fund Obamacare. What would you rather do, see the rich pay the same percent on income as the middle class or have your parents move in with you in their old age?

1. Rudy Giuliani - once called America’s Mayor and was extremely popular as the guy who took down the mob and led New York through the 9/11 response, now he is broke, lost his law license and faces numerous criminal and civil liability.

2. Micheal Cohen - was convicted and sent to jail for making illegal hush money payments to Trump love interests Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, and lying about it under oath.

Alina Habba  - sanctioned for bringing a frivolous lawsuit for her client Donald Trump. Fined 1 million dollars.

Aileen Cannon - This judge was humiliated when her ruling on a Special Master for Trump’s classified documents case was resoundingly overturned.

John Eastman - Eastman emailed Giuliani several days after the storming of the Capitol, asking to be placed on the list of those to be given a presidential pardon before Trump's term in office ended. Eastman asserted his Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination on December 1, 2021, in a letter in which he refused to testify to the United States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack.[94] CNN reported Eastman met with the committee but invoked the Fifth Amendment 146 times. On June 22, 2022, several FBI agents approached him as he was leaving a New Mexico restaurant and, pursuant to a warrant, seized his phone. According to the warrant, the phone was to be taken to a forensic lab of the Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General. He also lost his job at two universities.

Trump is a “prolific and sophisticated litigant who is repeatedly using the courts to seek revenge on political adversaries,” wrote U.S. District Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks in his searing 46-page judgment published late Thursday.
“He is the mastermind of strategic abuse of the judicial process, and he cannot be seen as a litigant blindly following the advice of a lawyer. He knew full well the impact of his actions,” said Middlebrooks. “As such, I find that sanctions should be imposed upon Mr. Trump and his lead counsel, Ms. Habba.”

I know many people on this site would never see this article on FOX or Alex Jones so I’m posting it just to keep you informed 

US Unemployment Rate is at 3.50%, compared to 3.60% last month and 3.90% last year. This is lower than the long term average of 5.73%.

Thanks Joe for lowering gas prices especially in rural states where nobody wants to live and people earn a lot less.

Matt Schlapp, the prominent and powerful Catholic conservative who leads CPAC has been credibly accused of sexually assaulting a male campaign worker. 

According to his principal assistant, Cassidy Hutchinson, Chief of Staff Mark Meadows was breaking the law in the days after the election that Trump lost by destroying notes and papers “a dozen times” and not logging meetings with Republican wack jobs.

After the election, Congressman Scott Perry promoted false claims of election fraud.[73][74] Days after the election, in text messages to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, Perry suggested John Ratcliffe should direct the National Security Agency to investigate alleged Chinese hacking. Perry also asserted "the Brits" were behind a conspiracy to manipulate voting machines and that CIA director Gina Haspel was covering it up. The next month, he sent Meadows a link to a YouTube video that asserted voting machines had been manipulated via satellite from Italy; Meadows later sent the video to former Acting Attorney General Richard Donoghue, seeking an investigation.[75][76][77] Donoghue told the committee the contentions in the video, originating from QAnon and far-right platforms which had been brought to the White House, were "pure insanity."

In August 2021, CNN reported that the Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, had briefed top Justice Department officials that no evidence had been found of any foreign powers' interference with voting machines. Jeffrey Clark was reportedly concerned that intelligence community analysts were withholding information and believed Perry and others knew more about possible foreign interference. Clark requested authorization from Rosen and Donoghue for another briefing from Ratcliffe, asserting hackers had found that "a Dominion machine accessed the Internet through a smart thermostat with a net connection trail leading back to China."[84]

On August 9, 2022, Perry reported that three FBI agents had seized his cellphone after presenting him with a warrant.

A map of areas that have few or no newspapers looks a lot like a map of Republican and Trumpy voting.

“George Santos, a Long Island Republican who won a pivotal U.S. House race in November, acknowledged Monday night that he embellished his biography, seeking to explain his actions by saying in a radio interview that “a lot of people overstate in their résumés.”

Just like Trump, they lied and they knew they were lying.

“A judge found on Election Day that the mechanical issues did not prevent anyone from voting. But in a 69-page filing, attorneys for Lake used a grab bag of unproven theories and anecdotal accounts to argue that “hundreds of thousands of illegal ballots infected the election in Maricopa County.”

“It’ll make the border worse, it’ll make inflation worse, it’ll make the economy worse, it’ll make the government worse,” McCarthy said, promising: “In 11 days, all this changes.”

With Trump’s tax returns becoming available it has been revealed that Trump (and likely other wealthy people) pay a pittance in Federal Income tax.

His tax rate for 2018 was a ridiculous 4 percent! Four Percent! Yes, that’s right 4 percent. In 2019, his tax rate was 3 percent! But wait, it gets better - in both 2017 and 2020, Trump paid zero dollars in Federal income tax! Yeah America! Great job Republicans! Way to think Republican voters!

…in 2018, as he reported $24.3 million in adjusted gross income and paid nearly $1 million in federal tax…

“Mr. Trump’s 2019 tax returns show that he was in the black the following year as well, reporting $4.4 million in income and paying $133,445 in tax”

The fresh details of Mr. Trump’s taxes emerged from two reports released late Tuesday by the House Ways and Means Committee.

3 parties

Democrat  50% of the country

Republican 10%

White  40%

This is why the Republican Party can’t condemn Trump

his false assertion that the election had been stolen led to an insurrection against the U.S. government 

His involvement in the creation of slates of false electors in states won by Joe Biden

His pressure campaign on Vice President Mike Pence to hold up the certification of the election results

His pressure campaign on various state officials to add, delete, or modify votes to favor Trump

His pressure campaign on the Justice department to declare the election fraudulent 

attempts by Trump to obstruct the 1/6  investigation including both threats and attempted bribery of witnesses

Trump watched the riot on television rather than taking action to stop it.

Trump’s actions led to the death or injury of nearly 200 Americans including police officers

We know Trump is a moron, his own cabinet said so, but If you think this guy was a better President than Washington or Lincoln you are a moron.

The charges referred to the Justice Department include:

1. Insurrection 

2. Obstruction of an official proceeding 

3. Conspiracy to defraud the US government 

Republicans, the party, the voters and the politicians, will NEVER live down the fact they supported this guy. 

Trump, and his poor response to Covid slowed down immigration.

Now employers can’t find workers.
Economists estimate that ‘two years of lost immigration’ is responsible for close to half of the 3.5 million workers missing from the labor force

“The drop-off in foreign workers began soon after President Donald Trump took office, largely on an anti-immigrant platform. Although his administration didn’t make legislative changes, it slowed down visa processing through “a culture of extreme vetting and extreme delays” that was enough to deter immigration in all forms, especially among those without college educations, Peri said.”

If you ever supported Donald Trump, or worse, you still support him, you are a moron.

A Twitter account that reported public information on the planes flying Musk around the world have been suspended 

“…but when Sweeney woke up Wednesday morning, he was stunned to see that the 530,000-follower account on Twitter, the social media platform Musk bought in October, had been “permanently suspended” without explanation. A notice on Sweeney’s Twitter account said only that the company had, “after careful review … determined your account broke the Twitter rules,” without saying which rules it broke”

Secretary Lloyd Austin, has characterized the vaccine mandate as a way of protecting troops from covid-19 and preventing sprawling outbreaks that sideline entire units, undermine the military’s readiness and endanger national security.

The looming reversal — spurred by Republicans who had threatened to block passage of the $858 billion spending bill if the mandate wasn’t struck down — creates a rat’s nest for the Pentagon. Commanders whose job it was to enforce the mandate will face the onerous task of assessing whether — and how — to allow back into uniform those already separated from the military for refusing to follow orders. Managing overseas deployments, especially in countries that require visitors to be vaccinated, will create burdensome logistical headaches as well, officials said.

But Trump, who claims to be the greatest businessman ever, claims he had no idea what was going on at his company.

And his idiot supporters such as ILikePie will believe him.

In his testimony, Weisselberg detailed how he and the company’s comptroller, Jeffrey McConney, schemed to cheat state and federal tax authorities beginning in 2005 and lasting more than a decade. Weisselberg used the company to cover major personal expenses like rent for a luxury apartment on the Hudson River, Mercedes Benz leases for himself and his wife, and private school tuition for his grandchildren.

Lachlan Murdoch, the chief executive of the Fox Corporation, is expected to be deposed on Monday as part of a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News for amplifying bogus claims that rigged machines from Dominion Voting Systems were responsible for Donald J. Trump’s defeat in 2020.

“Although the law leans in the media’s favor in defamation cases, Dominion has what independent observers have said is an unusually strong case. Day after day, Fox hosts and guests repeated untrue stories about Dominion’s ties to communist regimes and far-fetched theories about how its software enabled enemies of the former president to steal his votes.“

The rapper Ye praised Adolf Hitler and Nazis in an interview Thursday with far-right provocateur Alex Jones, drawing a fresh round of condemnation for his incendiary antisemitism a week after he dined with former president Donald Trump alongside white nationalist Nick Fuentes.
“I like Hitler,” a fully masked Ye told Jones. Minutes later, the rapper said, “I love Jewish people, but I also love Nazis.”
