Funny I wasn’t aware that poor man Putin has tried to poison twice and is sitting jail as someone who stormed the Kremlin…
Did we miss that?

BECAUSE THEY’RE STUPID!
Washington Post Editorial…
“Opinion: A trove of preposterous emails raises the question: How can Republicans still be loyal to this man?”
Opinion by the
Editorial Board
June 15, 2021 at 2:37 p.m. PDT
MANY REPUBLICANS want the nation to ignore and forget President Donald Trump’s poisonous final months in office — the most dangerous moment in modern presidential history, orchestrated by the man to whom the GOP still swears allegiance. Yet the country must not forget how close it came to a full-blown constitutional crisis, or worse. Tuesday brought another reminder that, but for the principled resistance of some key officials, the consequences could have been disastrous.
The House Committee on Oversight and Reform on Tuesday released emails showing that the White House waged a behind-the-scenes effort to enlist the Justice Department in its crusade to advance Mr. Trump’s baseless allegations of fraud in the 2020 election. On Dec. 14, 10 days before Jeffrey Rosen took over as acting attorney general, Mr. Trump’s assistant emailed Mr. Rosen, asserting that Dominion Voting Systems machines in Michigan were intentionally fixed and pointing to a debunked analysis showing what “the machines can and did do to move votes.” The email declared, “We believe it has happened everywhere.”
Later that month, Mr. Trump’s assistant sent Mr. Rosen a brief that the president apparently wanted the Justice Department to submit to the Supreme Court. The draft mirrored the empty arguments that the state of Texas made to the court before the justices dismissed the state’s lawsuit. Piling on the pressure, then-
White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows also dispatched an email asking Mr. Rosen to examine allegations of voter fraud in Georgia. A day later, Mr. Meadows apparently forwarded Mr. Rosen a video alleging that Italians used satellites to manipulate voting equipment. These were just some of the preposterous White House emails claiming fraud in arguably the most secure presidential election ever.
'Where does this end?': Arizona is still auditing its 2020 election results
To his credit, Mr. Rosen rebuffed the White House’s entreaties to deploy the Justice Department’s vast powers on behalf of Mr. Trump’s lie, adding his name to the roster of honorable state and federal officials who showed fidelity to truth and duty at that crucial moment. Some have paid with their jobs. Republicans committed to the “big lie” are gunning to replace others, including those with vote-counting responsibilities. If Mr. Trump or another candidate again presses false fraud claims, many Republican officials may find it more difficult to resist the pressure to back the lie — or, indeed, may eagerly participate in advancing it.
Given Mr. Trump’s reckless actions after losing the 2020 vote, and the violence they spurred, the newly released emails are unsurprising. But consider that fact for a moment: It is unsurprising that the president of the United States leaned on the Justice Department to help him try to steal an election. The country cannot forget that Mr. Trump betrayed his oath, that most Republican officeholders remain loyal to him nonetheless — and that it could be worse next time.”

Only the best!! Powell revealed that she had lost her ability to "blast" out emails while she was appearing on Real America's Voice with host Steve Bannon. "Mailchimp just deplatformed my law firm from blast emails from SidneyPowell.com because apparently we were talking about defending the republic," Powell explained. "They just can't stand the truth, Steve. That's all it is. They want to suppress free speech. They can't stand the truth. They are absolutely terrified of it." www.rawstory.com/sidney-powell-mailchimp/ |

The wall, the wall..... Many have pointed out that the last person who raised money for a wall, got indicted. Bannon got out of it, but his two partners are in the middle of it ! Steve Bannon was indicted when he attempted to fund a border wall for the United States, but Texas Gov. Greg Abbott thinks he can make it work. It's still not clear what the governor feels must be done to erect such a structure. The fence is already there and much of it has been repaired. So, it's unclear if Abbott will build an actual wall or another fence or something else. It will likely depend on the amount of money he's able to raise. www.rawstory.com/texas-border-wall-crowd-funding/ |

Yes, even legally, I’m sure there will be a firm handling the money and getting rich off the % they keep ( legally ) we know all about the ‘legal’ grafting of taxpayer money thru your friends law firm or investment firm in NJ it’s the Republican way. |

Had to look and read it twice.
It is like how we all read over spelling mistakes as well as grammar errors and still, generally, know what it says. Takes a bit to set in.

These people are total loons and extremely dangerous!! MIAMI — A little-known GOP candidate in one of Florida’s most competitive congressional seats was secretly recorded threatening to send “a Russian and Ukrainian hit squad” to a fellow Republican opponent to make her “disappear.” During a 30-minute call with a conservative activist that was recorded before he became a candidate, William Braddock repeatedly warned the activist to not support GOP candidate Anna Paulina Luna in the Republican primary for a Tampa Bay-area congressional seat because he had access to assassins. The seat is being vacated by Rep. Charlie Crist (D-Fla.), who is running for governor. “I really don't want to have to end anybody's life for the good of the people of the United States of America,” Braddock said at one point in the conversation last week, according to the recording exclusively obtained by POLITICO. “That will break my heart. But if it needs to be done, it needs to be done. Luna is a f---ing speed bump in the road. She's a dead squirrel you run over every day when you leave the neighborhood.” www.politico.com/news/2021/06/17/secret-recording-florida-republican-threat-hit-squad-494976 |

If we didn't already know Rep Madison Cawthorn was off the deep end, we surely should know now. Remember he failed his entrance into the Naval Academy! Rep Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) had an awkward moment with a Newsmax host Wednesday evening when discussing why AR-15s and military weapons should continue to be legal for anyone to use. Cawthorn tried to argue that assault rifles are necessary to protect America against the federal government, which he works for. "If anybody ever wants to say 'oh, well you know what, citizens with a few small arms fire would never be able to stop the federal government' - I absolutely disagree. Ask the Viet Cong how they handled the Marines and the Army in Vietnam," said Cawthorn. www.rawstory.com/madison-cawthorn-viet-cong-patriots/ |

This is insane. Seriously she knew nothing or very little about what happened during the Holocaust? In one report I read, she said she had visited Auschwitz in the past, when she was 19, and yet she still didn’t get it. I have visited Auschwitz - admittedly I was older and my visit was more recent - but it isn’t something you forget easily. If all she got from that visit was ‘people were put in trains and sent to camps’ she wasn’t paying much attention. My family visited Dachau in 2019. My boys, ages 20, 17 and 14 at the time were all profoundly moved by the visit. My youngest just recently talked about the visit with his history class. 2 years later and he still remembered a lot of the details. It seems improbable that MTG actually visited and then made the insensitive, offensive, anti - Jewish comments. Or, she knew exactly what she was saying but after her offensive comments, her donations dropped significantly and she realized she needed to do something. Her apology was a bit of a word salad and might have been more meaningful if she hadn't said and done so many offensive things like the crazy Jewish space laser conspiracy theory. |

A Republican I think in the Senate said there was insurrection on 1/6, just a bunch of tourists walking through the halls of the Capital.
Now I have been a tourist a number of times around the world and I never did anything like what these “tourists “ were doing at the Capital on January 6. Not even close.

File a suit face the consequences... 😁 An Iowa judge has ordered employees at a dairy farm owned by the father and brother of Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) to provide proof of their immigration status for the family's defamation suit against Esquire Magazine and journalist Ryan Lizza, regarding a 2018 article titled "Devin Nunes's Family Farm Is Hiding a Politically Explosive Secret," which claims the Nunes family's dairy farm knowingly employed undocumented workers, Law&Crime reports. www.rawstory.com/devin-nunes-farm/ |

Isn't this a great treasure to behold. GOP stealing from themselves. Grifter once, grifter always!! When a grifter gets swindled: Former GOP chairman accused of stealing from Paul Manafort's PAC Former Colorado Republican Party chairman Ryan Call allegedly stole nearly $280,000 from a pro-Trump super PAC over the course of three years while he was the committee's treasurer, according to a newly filed complaint. The filed complaint alleged that Call "knowingly misappropriated" funds intended to go to the pro-Trump PAC founded by former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who was also hit over failing to report a hefty contribution of $1 million during his tenure. That million-dollar contribution would later be reported by Call to the FEC in November of 2018. Over the course of June 2016 and November 2016, the pro-Trump super PAC raised north of $23 million, according to FEC records reviewed by Newsline. www.rawstory.com/trump-manafort-2653460684/Better yet Call reported Manafort's million dollar donation then was himself reported for theft. |
