What Did Liberals Do?

Caption this.

I went to the bank & took my money. I believe it was my money, I think it was my money.

It looked like my money

"And this is about a perfect phone call. A call where I'm questioning the election. I'm telling them that, in my opinion, the election was rigged. And they're saying that I did something incorrect. I didn't do anything wrong.

"I believe I won that election by many, many votes, many, many hundreds of thousands of votes. That's what I think. And I expressed that on the phone call."

As has been reported, Trump asked Georgia to investigate election fraud in the tight race.

"I said, 'What I need is 11,000 votes,'" Trump continued. "I won this thing by hundreds of thousands of votes. That's my opinion, and it's a strong opinion. And I think it's borne out by the facts, and we'll see that."

After airing an interview in which Trump denied he lost 2020 election, Newsmax's reads a statement:

The big interview last night of TIFG with Eric Bolling on NewsMax had a surprise ending. TIFG claimed (as usual) that he actually won the election. Then this was added:

"Now just a note. Newsmax has accepted the election results as legal and final"

It's not just a guy who was threatening Biden/Harris - He wanted to kill them for prosecuting Trump

Charles Pierce: the elite political media does not yet seem to understand megatonnage of Dobbs

That the elite political media does not yet seem to understand the megatonnage of the Dobbs decision out in the country is a very strange thing.

It was conventional wisdom for years that abortion was an albatross around the necks of Democrats, that they should hide and make "compromising" noises while signalling to their voters about "judges."

One can always make arguments that this was true in key swing states and districts, or that it motivated more of THEIR voters than OUR voters. I'm skeptical about this view, but even if we grant that it was true, it led everyone to believe (or pretend to believe) that abortion was overall unpopular.

The justification derived from the fact that abortion polling always gives three options. Basically: a) abortion always legal, b) SOME RESTRICTIONS ON ABORTION, c) abortion always illegal. Then you lump in b) and c) to say the Republican position is correct, instead of lumping in a) and b) and pointing out that it is (was), actually, the status quo (Casey).

Add that to years of labeling anyone who pointed out that "abortion is medical care" was a lunatic extremist. This was, actually, the knee jerk response from a Biden person (Kate Bedingfield) after Dobbs:


Joe Biden’s goal in responding to Dobbs is not to satisfy some activists who have been consistently out of step with the mainstream of the Democratic Party. It’s to deliver help to women who are in danger and assemble a broad-based coalition to defend a woman’s right to choose now, just as he assembled such a coalition to win during the 2020 campaign.


That pro-choice activists were the crazy aunts you had to keep quiet as best you could was a pretty standard view among powerful Dems (electeds, donor class, pundits, affiliated). Another area where a "grand compromise" dictated by centrist dipshits was supposed to make the issue go away forever so we could go on to talking important big boy issues like who to bomb next.

It's no conspiracy to say 2/3 of Ohio destroyed Issue 1 because

1) You came to our state and promoted it

2) Ohio is NOT a red state.

3) They rejected your disgusting fascism and hypocrisy, and instead embraced democracy and women's rights.

We worked our asses off. I collected signatures, wrote postcards. Went to rallies, etc. Hard work pays off.

That's why almost everyone I talked to in the voting lines today was excited to reject your googley-eyed demands, Jim Jordan's weak pleas, and your $25,000,000 in lobbyist ads telling us to screw ourselves over.

Ohioans showed up and showed out today to fight to protect our voice and our vote… just like they did in Arizona. Remember?

This is as clear of a message as you'll ever get: We just aren’t that into you.

Admit it: This win for democracy in Ohio is just a preview of things to come.

If you hate this victory, just wait until November to when we protect abortion. And then we TAKE DOWN Jim Jordan!

A final word of advice:

Maybe just stay out of Ohio, and focus on governing your own state.

Oh, wait.

Ducks In A Row

Secret Memo Laid Out Fake Elector Strategy

“A lawyer allied with President Donald Trump first laid out a plot to use false slates of electors to subvert the 2020 election in a previously unknown internal campaign memo that prosecutors are portraying as a crucial link in how the Trump team’s efforts evolved into a criminal conspiracy,” the New York Times reports.

“The existence of the Dec. 6, 2020, memo came to light in last week’s indictment of Mr. Trump, though its details remained unclear. But a copy obtained by The New York Times shows for the first time that the lawyer, Kenneth Chesebro, acknowledged from the start that he was proposing ‘a bold, controversial strategy’ that the Supreme Court ‘likely’ would reject in the end.”

“But even if the plan did not ultimately pass legal muster at the highest level, Mr. Chesebro argued that it would achieve two goals. It would focus attention on claims of voter fraud and ‘buy the Trump campaign more time to win litigation that would deprive Biden of electoral votes and/or add to Trump’s column.'”
