Democrats better be on guard for widespread cheating by Republicans in the midterm election
https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2022/10/democrats-better-be-on-guard-for.htmlHurricane Ian may have done the January 6th committee a huge favor, moving its final public hearing to October 13. That put it a couple of weeks closer to the midterm elections, where the powerful impact of the information that was revealed will have maximum effect as it settles in, for those who have an open mind and a grip on reality. We've managed to get past a real attempt to overthrow the government by the most corrupt presidential administration in the history of the nation. That's good, but it's not over.
The depth and the extent to which these people were willing to go, to set up what is essentially a copy of the Russian oligarchy, and making themselves oligarchs with our money and resources, is beyond frightening. It ranks right up there with the twentieth century takeovers of Germany, Italy and Russia by totalitarian dictatorships. I've read commentary that equates their methodology and even quotes some of the Trump conspirators who cited the European dictators and expressed admiration for them.
Watching that hearing, and then the coverage of it afterward, it should be crystal clear to anyone who sees this for what it is that there are already plenty of people at work to try and subvert the results of the mid-term election. Trump isn't just enjoying his mic time at rallies. All of this whole gang of thugs, even those under indictment like Steve Bannon, are actively engaged in activity that is aimed at stealing the midterm election.

Nice guys finish last. Gerrymandering should be squashed, Citizens united should be squashed, limited voting tactics too, etc, etc... We are playing too nice imo. Most importantly Garland needs to develop a backbone RIGHT NOW!

they're not even trying to be coy about it. Using exactly the same language and phrases as David Duke and the KKK:
