Judge in Trump 2020 election case unseals more evidence from special counsel

The recent development in the Trump 2020 election case, where a judge unseals more evidence from the special counsel, has brought to light some shocking revelations that should be of grave concern to every American citizen. The fact that there was a deliberate attempt to manipulate the election results through illegal means is not just a matter of political strategy, but a serious offense against the very foundation of our democracy.

The evidence that has been uncovered paints a picture of a criminal conspiracy orchestrated by the former President, Donald Trump, and his team. The memos that were kept detailing their plans and actions, under the guise of “War Games”, reveal a level of corruption and disregard for the rule of law that is deeply troubling.… Continue reading

Musk to give away $1m per day to Pennsylvania voters

I must admit, when I first heard about Elon Musk planning to give away $1 million per day to Pennsylvania voters, I was intrigued yet skeptical. It’s not every day that a billionaire decides to dip their toes into the political waters in such a direct and controversial way. While some may view this as a generous act of philanthropy, others, myself included, can’t help but see it as a blatant attempt to sway the outcome of an election.

The notion that Musk’s cash giveaway is not tied to any specific candidate makes little difference to me. It’s the perception that matters.… Continue reading

Trump Abruptly Dumps Another Interview, Sending His Team into a Panic

As someone who has been closely following the latest developments surrounding President Trump’s abrupt cancellations of interviews, it is truly alarming to witness the unraveling of a man who once held the highest office in the United States. The recent incident where Trump bailed on a live interview scheduled from his own home raises serious concerns about his well-being and ability to fulfill his duties, even on the most basic level.

It is quite perplexing to see a figure like Trump, who thrives on attention and public appearances, suddenly pulling out of interviews and events. The fact that he even canceled a speaking engagement at an NRA rally, a platform he typically revels in, is a definite red flag.… Continue reading

‘That’s Oligarchy,’ Says Sanders as Billionaires Pump Cash Into Trump Campaign — “We must overturn the disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision and move to public funding of elections,” said Sen. Bernie Sanders.

When I hear the words, “‘That’s Oligarchy,’ Says Sanders as Billionaires Pump Cash Into Trump Campaign — “We must overturn the disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision and move to public funding of elections,” said Sen. Bernie Sanders,” it resonates deep within me. The notion that billionaires can have such a profound impact on our democratic process is alarming. The fact that their immense wealth can sway elections, essentially buying influence and power, goes against the very foundation of democracy.

It is disheartening to see the influence of money in politics grow to such an extent that it threatens the core principles of our democracy.… Continue reading

Trump judge releases 1,889 pages of additional election interference evidence against the former president

The recent release of 1,889 pages of additional election interference evidence against former President Trump by a judge surely makes one wonder about the depths of deception and manipulation that went on behind the scenes. Reading through the testimonies and revelations can be quite jarring, especially when key figures like AZ Speaker of the House Rusty Bowers recount how Trump and his campaign pressured them to decertify Arizona’s electoral college votes without any concrete evidence, only lofty theories. It’s a stark reminder of the lengths to which some are willing to go to distort the truth and subvert democracy.

As I delved into the details of the memos and transcripts contained in these documents, one can’t help but feel a sense of outrage and disbelief at the audacity of the actions outlined.… Continue reading

Trump’s Surreal Musical Town Hall Detour Is Proof He’s Losing It

I watched in utter disbelief as Donald Trump, the former President of the United States, took a surreal detour during a recent town hall event that left me questioning his mental state. Instead of engaging with attendees in a meaningful way, he spent a staggering 40 minutes gyrating to music, resembling more of a concert performer than a political figure. The level of disconnect from reality displayed during this event was alarming, to say the least. It’s clear that Trump’s focus is solely on self-gratification and personal gain, with no regard for the needs or well-being of those around him.

The fact that no one intervened after the first 10 minutes of this bizarre musical interlude is perplexing.… Continue reading

Georgia judge declares 7 new election rules passed by Trump-backed state board ‘illegal, unconstitutional and void’

As a voting precinct manager in DeKalb County, Georgia, I have witnessed firsthand the chaos that ensues when new election rules are passed without proper consideration and planning. The recent ruling by Judge Cox declaring seven election rules passed by the Trump-backed state board as ‘illegal, unconstitutional and void’ is a significant victory for voting rights and democracy.

The rules in question were not only unsupported by Georgia’s Election Code but were also contrary to it. This underscores the importance of upholding fair election practices and ensuring that any changes to voting rules are legal and do not undermine the democratic process.… Continue reading

Kamala Harris Surprises Rallygoers With Damning Video Of Donald Trump The vice president literally rolled the tape on her Republican rival, drawing gasps from the audience in Erie, Pennsylvania.

Kamala Harris certainly knows how to make an impact, and her recent move to show a damning video of Donald Trump at a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania was groundbreaking. The gasps from the audience are a clear indication that even his most die-hard supporters were taken aback by the footage she shared. In a campaign strategy that seems almost too obvious, but necessary, Harris is using Trump’s own words and actions against him, highlighting the chaos and toxicity that has defined his presidency.

It’s truly mind-boggling to think that Trump’s reprehensible behavior and statements don’t automatically disqualify him in the eyes of many Americans.… Continue reading

No country still uses an electoral college − except the US

The electoral college has got to go. It’s an outdated, archaic system that no longer serves the interests of the American people. It’s mind-boggling that in this day and age, a candidate can win the popular vote by millions and still lose the election due to the electoral college. How is that fair or democratic?

The argument that without the electoral college, presidential candidates would only focus on more populated areas doesn’t hold water. The majority of Americans didn’t even live in urban areas until 1920, so this notion is simply unfounded. Plus, the fact that a reported 79% of campaign ad money has gone into just 7 states since Kamala entered the race shows just how skewed the electoral college system is.… Continue reading

Harris paints Trump as a national threat in testy Fox News interview

Kamala Harris recently sat down for what can be described as a testy interview with Fox News anchor Brett Baier, where she painted Trump as a national threat. Despite Baier’s constant interruptions, Harris managed to make some excellent points. She raised Trump’s recent rhetoric about using the military against political opponents on Election Day and his threats to lock up peaceful protestors, highlighting his dangerous and unstable behavior. In a democracy, a president should be able to handle criticism without resorting to threats and violence, which Harris rightfully called out.

Baier’s aggressive questioning and constant interruptions were clearly an attempt to bait Harris, but she held her ground and did not fall for his tactics.… Continue reading
