Fox News host: Trump ‘resorted to crimes’ to hold on to power
The recent statement by a Fox News host that former President Trump ‘resorted to crimes’ to cling to power after the 2020 election is not exactly breaking news for many of us. The signs of corruption and malfeasance have been evident for years, yet it seems to have taken some in the media industry by surprise. It is almost comical to see the astonishment from some corners when the truth about Trump’s actions finally comes to light.
In the court of public opinion, the verdict on Trump’s misconduct has long been unanimous.… Continue reading
The bombshell special counsel filing that reveals new allegations of Trump’s desperate efforts to overturn the 2020 election results is both shocking and appalling. It paints a picture of a man willing to go to extreme lengths, including engaging in criminal behavior, to hold onto power. The court filing outlines Trump’s private criminal conduct, working with a team of co-conspirators to disrupt the electoral process through fraud and deceit.
The fact that Trump, even in the face of mounting evidence, continued to perpetuate baseless claims of voter fraud is a direct assault on democracy. The filing details instances where Trump was corrected by those around him, yet chose to ignore the truth and instead continued to push his false narrative.… Continue reading
Throughout the nearly 90-minute debate between Tim Walz and JD Vance, one thing became abundantly clear – the reason why Donald Trump chose Vance as his potential vice president. As the evening progressed, Vance’s carefully constructed facade began to crumble, revealing his true colors and intentions.
When pressed about his stance on certifying election results, Vance dodged questions and attempted to pivot towards vague statements about the future. However, as Walz skillfully probed deeper, Vance’s mask slipped, and he launched into a tirade filled with baseless claims and conspiracy theories, reminiscent of Trump’s own rhetoric.
It was during this exchange that Walz seized the moment and highlighted the fundamental flaw in Vance’s candidacy.… Continue reading
I watched the recent debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz with keen interest, hoping to see a glimpse of integrity and honesty in our political discourse. However, my hopes were quickly dashed when Vance refused to acknowledge the simple fact that Trump lost the 2020 election. The gravity of this moment cannot be overstated – Vance’s inability to accept reality and commit to the peaceful transfer of power is not just disappointing; it is downright alarming.
Lawrence O’Donnell’s apt observation that Vance is “the first vice presidential candidate who doesn’t know who won the last election” resonates deeply. How can we trust someone who aspires to hold a position responsible for certifying future elections when he can’t even acknowledge the outcome of the previous one?… Continue reading
Jimmy Carter turns 100 today, a remarkable milestone for a remarkable man. Against all odds, he has reached this incredible age, becoming the only president in history to hit the century mark. His grandson shares that his motivation for keeping going is the upcoming election, as he wants to cast his vote for Harris as soon as voting opens. This speaks volumes about Carter’s dedication to democracy and his unwavering commitment to using his voice, even at the impressive age of 100.
One cannot help but marvel at Jimmy Carter’s journey from the Oval Office to a centenarian icon. His presidency may have been underrated, but his post-presidential career is nothing short of extraordinary.… Continue reading
As a concerned citizen, the recent news about thousands of people being purged from Georgia’s voter rolls and then re-registering after attending Kamala Harris’ rally in Atlanta deeply troubles me. The fact that this blatant attempt at voter suppression is still happening in our country is both infuriating and disheartening. It is clear that these actions are a deliberate effort by certain political factions to undermine the democratic process and prevent eligible voters from exercising their rights.
It is appalling to think that those in power are resorting to such underhanded tactics in order to cling onto their positions. The idea that certain individuals have the authority to simply purge voters from registration lists, especially so close to an election, is a clear abuse of power.… Continue reading
McConnell’s recent statements regarding the potential elimination of the filibuster if Democrats sweep on Election Day has sparked quite the reaction. While some may view this as a threat, for many, including myself, it is seen as a promising development. The filibuster, in its modern form, has strayed far from its original purpose and has been used as a tool to hinder progress and maintain the status quo rather than foster meaningful debate and consensus.
The filibuster, which was once a theatrical display of endurance and passion, has devolved into a mere procedural hurdle that allows for obstruction without accountability. The shift to a “silent filibuster” in 1975 only compounded the issue, leading to a system where legislation can be endlessly delayed without any real effort or commitment from those invoking it.… Continue reading
Protesters waving Hezbollah flags at an Australian rally is not just a cause for concern, but a signal of something deeply troubling in our society. The sight of people, thousands of miles away from the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel, proudly displaying the emblem of a designated terrorist organization is not just misguided, but dangerous. It is a reminder that extremism and radical ideologies have seeped into our communities, even in countries like Australia, where democratic values are supposed to be cherished.
These individuals, who choose to fly the flag of a group responsible for countless acts of violence and terror, are not protesters exercising their right to free speech.… Continue reading
Misinformation running rampant on Facebook has officials concerned about election disruptions. It’s a headline that seems all too familiar, yet the issue persists with no real solution in sight. The problem is not new, with Facebook being a cesspool of fake news, conspiracy theories, and propaganda for years now. Yet, despite the clear danger it poses to the democratic process, little has been done to truly combat the spread of misinformation on the platform.
The recent revelations about Russia’s use of social media to fuel instability in Western nations is just the tip of the iceberg. It is not just foreign actors that are using Facebook as a tool to manipulate public opinion, but also domestic groups and individuals who have realized the power of spreading lies and falsehoods to achieve their own agenda.… Continue reading
As a citizen of Wisconsin, it is extremely alarming to hear of the recent incident where a Wisconsin mayor decided to take matters into his own hands and physically remove an absentee ballot drop box, claiming that he did nothing wrong. The implications of this action are deeply concerning and highlight the fragility of our democratic processes.
The Wisconsin Elections Commission has made it clear that interfering with the voting process is a serious offense, and anyone who tampers with drop boxes could be guilty of a felony. The fact that this mayor felt entitled to take it upon himself to remove a drop box, without proper authorization or legal basis, showcases a blatant disregard for the rule of law and the principles of democracy.… Continue reading
