You are for law and order....  You are patriots that uphold the Constitution, and the Laws of this land -  Support the Police and respect the work, the Arrests that they have made,.

here are few Criminals from our recent past.

Steve Bannon - Political strategist under Trump  = Guilty 2 counts of Contempt of Congress

Michael Flynn - Former White House Security advisor - Pled Guilty to Lying to Congress - Fired by the Justice department .

George Papadopoulos, security adviser for the Trump He pleaded guilty in 2017 to lying to the FBI 

Peter Navarro - Trump Trade  Advisor - Convicted of Contempt of Congress

Michael Cohen - Trumps Lawyer and Fixer - pleaded guilty to campaign finance charges and lying to Congress, among other crimes.

Paul Manafort - Trumps Campaign manager - convicted of tax and bank fraud felonies 

Donald Trump - Libel for Sexual Abuse and Defamation - and founf guilty of 24 Felony counts - falsifying business Records. 

 As much as tRump says he is ahead - the GOP candidates words and actions speek a different Story.

tRump and Vance are offering wild Carrots to many groups -  Non taxed tips,  or Overtime and Social Security) but cannot explain for a minute where they plan to make up that revenue - and BTW - you are special kind of  Ignorant if the you think that increased  tariffs are something the Exporting country / Business will just absorb - and not pass that onto the Consumer - DOH !   and now the threatened John Deere with a 200% tarriff if they move part on Manufacturing to Mexico..  yea - that'll help our our farmers !!  and by the F-ing way - Do we have amnesia ??  He was the guy who ended NAFTA and put in place the USMCA...  It  creates a new incentive to build cars and trucks in North America. It requires 75% of a vehicle’s parts to be made in one of the three countries – up from the current 62.5% rule – in order to remain free from tariffs when moving between the three signatory countries.  Mexico and Canada are on the list  - so is his position that he is disregarding that agreement ??? 

and while they are doing that they are Threatening Election workers,  They are Threatening Jews- saying that if he is not reelected in the Fall - it will be the fault of the Jews, and they continue to Double and triple down on their clams about Springfield  OHIO - evne though it has caused countless and needless threats to schools and administration building with bombs and even though Vance said outright he would and did make up a story to reach his constituents.  AndI  expect that this will all get worse - they wil. ramp up the Rhetoric - even though they said it needed to be toned down in the wake of the last threat to the Former POTUS .  They ahve a mess on their hands in North Carolina with Robinson - the GOP Candidate - claiming he is a "Black Nazi",  would  "buy a few slaves"  himself and "Loves porn " BTW - the GOP is now saying that the NEVER HEARD OF HIM !   and also. Hispanics and Immigrants are always a good whipping post for the GOP ... so expect they are the next and continuing target . with the roundup of millions of Immigrants and deportation of them. yea - what could possibly go wrong with that plan ..

The end to the Mist

 It is the ending of Stephen King's  "The Mist" that we may be left with.... Where the Father whispers to his son two words "Hartford" (which is where  they are headed) and  "HOPE"  (which is all he (and maybe WE ) have left .....)

We will look back at these times and realize what they had in mind - what the Plot was,,,, that they had learned from the previous time what worked and what did not. Not tRump - hs is too stupid  - but his Sheep in the CULT are not as stupid.  They saw that even the  armed insurrection - that they plotted with members of  Congress ,  the attack on the Capitol - did not work....   it needed to be more subtle - more widespread,... they tried with 60 + law suits across the county that were all thrown out.  They tried by attempting to assault (HANG) Mike Pence. However they had a new plan., 

1st they needed judges (up to and includings Supreme Court Justices that could be bought)  that would enact and agree with the plot to overthrow the election,. Then they needed Attorney Generals in key states sympathetic to their cause that could and will support fake Electors  and send them to the House of Representatives. , And legislatures that had enough majorities that they would enact laws to suppress Voter rights , especially those that that believed would not vote for GOP candidates, then Election boards that would enact things to significantly slow down and instill Chaos in the election process... 

And VIOLA ! they have achieved many of these Goals. They don't really need your vote - they can and will cancel that vote if it does not suit their cause, they will do an end run around the justice system, they will delay and defer election results to support  their means - DO you think that  Georgia Hand Counting Votes in the 21 century  is reasonable - even after both parties testified to that Election Board that it was not possible given the short time to the election to retrain the Election workers, and that enacting this process could mean that the results would not be known for weeks after election day - HELL - that music to the Ears of that Election Board - it was better than they even thought it could be - CHAOS , DELAY in the results - Counts and Recounts that would give tRump a chance to file suit after suit in every state he lost ,,,,get his time to use those Judges and Attorney Generals that he put in place and paid off , to rule in his favor...  

the time to Disenfranchise YOUR VOTE....  

Time to Destroy the Democracy ....

While on one had I think that the margin of victory for Kamala Harris will be a factor - aka - harder to steal a kick ass win - and on the other hand I think it won't matter. Those determined to reek Chaos will do so - regardless of any actual outcome.... 

Complete and utter BS

 As part of the Chaos strategy to ensure election victory of one kind or another , and the end to Democracy - ok - Democratic Republic. The latest that Moscow Mike Johnson and Pervert Hoover have come up with is the  SAFE ACT - and tying that to funding the Government. 

Their narrative of illegals voting is Complete and utter BullShit , but plays n to the MAGA politics of  hate and fear.  It is a Fix to Problem that does not exist ....  let's look..

They claim that the Democrats are registering Illegals by the 10's of Thousands, but can't show one ounce of Proof of all this Fraud.  And have never shown Voter fraud in any numbers  that has affected any -- ANY election - EVER ! They say that the SAFE ACT will prevent Illegals from registering... ah - ha,.... ok   They want to shout about  306 Illegals registered in Oregon -  306 and out of that 306 -  2 - read that correctly TWO voted  because they were mailed a ballot and did not know better than to return it...  How many people voted for POTUS in 2020 in that state you ask ??? 2,298, 831 - so you can see that stopping those 2 votes should be what the Congress of the US should see as a Priority. (Sarcasm)

  But wait - The Brennan Center for Justice found that 30 -  WHOA _ hold the phone ! THIRTY non citizen voted in the 2016 Presidential election , in addition to that  Trump's own Election Integrity Commission disbanded without so much as a report on any Voter fraud - even though he claimed that 3 Million non citizens voted in 2016.

keep in mind that Illegal voting can get you years in Prison - and is an easy way for Non citizen to be detected - and thus prosecuted for that crime.  What does it get them do you ask - not a damn thing - this is not robbing a Bank getting you lots of money (potentially) - it's one vote - One vote . 

So - what's this all about ???  First,  it places the enforcement of the  SAFE ACT in the hands of  a future POTUS  (say tRump) - not the states - so any voters in any state the the POTUS sees as problematic could be removed from that states voter registration - that alone could flip states to Red ... and   It's about Disenfranchising another group of voters that the GOP just might have  pissed off - and the GOP is now  scared that they won't vote for a Republican....  who are these people - WOMEN .

yup - while they are off - trying to get states to require ID - knowing that is that case - States can decide on their own what to accept or  not for ID - say College ID would not be allowed but Hunting lisc would be... and forget that some people have neither - and no drivers license or Passport.

"And what will the law require citizens who want to vote do? Lacking a passport or other proof of citizenship with their married names, they must produce both a birth certificate (with the seal of the state where it was issued; no copies allowed) and a current form of identification — both with the exact same name on them. That could instantly disqualify about 90 percent of all married women without Passports or other ID that matches their birth certificate ..."  re: T. Hrtman

- there are a few states that see Marriage as legal name change. 

The National Organization of Women. - says that Voter ID laws disproportionately target Women voters - and by Coincidence  - the GOP recently has pissed off Millions of Women voters !  So - Pervert Hoover and Moscow Mike want to attach the SAFE ACT to the bill that refunds the Government - so they - the. GOP - will try to blackmail the Democrats into disenfranchising millions of voters, and  Just like the claim that Haitian immigrants are eating the pets of people - THIS CLAIM OF VOTER FRAUD is Complete and utter Bullshit. 

What's F'd up today

 I will get to the latest assassination attempt later ....

First let's look at what Tom Hatrmann has up today 

1) Trumps people will attempt to reek chaos in this years election - maybe no tdireclty steal it - but  their strategy could be that they will sow enough doubt and fake claims of voter irregularities, fake electiors (maybe that is stealing it) not certifying the state votes. This plan that will not have any candidate get the required 270 votes - will put the election into the House of representatives and there the states get one vote each and because Moscow Mike will not allow the new Congresspersons to be sworn till after his Coup is completed - if the Democrats can win enough states for a Majority - then the majority of the states  will vote  for Tump..

2) a Guy names Leonard Leo has vowed to crush Liberals. he Claims to be a Christion - but pushes policie s that Jesus would ahve flatly rejected.  He is in the bacjground of Packing the Courts will those judges favorable to his cause - and block out hose Females, blacks, Hispanic and "queer" employees. And pushes to devour corporations that do not comply with his vision, BTW - gave $1.2 Billion that Billion - to the GOP ..

3) Germany has Walked back Trumps debate statement of them going back to Fossil fuels - Germany tried - meaning non Fossil fuel - and within one year are back to building enery plants,. WRONG !  says who ?? the  Germans ! the said. " Like it or not , Germanys energy system is fully operational, with more than 50% renewables, We are shutting down, NOT BUILDING Coal and Nuclear plants. Coal will bew off the grid by 2038 and PS we don't eat Cats and Dogs " Mic drop !

4) Should we allow Ukraine touse our weapons to strike Russia - inside Russia. This being a war of aggression and that theonly talking point Putin has left is the threat of Tactical Nukes - to stop the Ukrainan army from attacking inside Russia - when most of those in the know - know that if Russia does - NATO member or not 0 Nato would need to respond by wiping out Russin military presence in East and South Ukraine,

5) The parents of an 11 year old killed when his school bis was accidently hit by a car driven by a Hatian immigrant has had enough. Trump and Vance have used the incident to discuss immigration policy in political speech and ads, The Boys father has come out and said - that this is the Last thing they need - to have te relive that incident in the political arena, and that they need to stop  making it seem as if his boy Aiden would have appreciated the Hate speech. He says that morally corrupt politicians - Moreno, Vance, Chip Roy, Trump, have spoken his sons name for political gain. to please not assassinate his sone further by their Cruelty and recklessness. "Have you no sense of decency  ?" - I think we know that answer.....

6) Trump brings a 9/11 truther and self proclaimed White Supremist to the Sept 11 memorial event.

Laure Loomer - who has been traveling and seen with trump now on several occasions, She has said that 9/11 was an "inside job" perpetrated by our government.  and Trump brought Vance - . BTW - Trump does not attend this memorial in NYC - until now and so -of course he makes it a Campaign stop by bringing his running mate and NUT JOB like Loomer with his .
