And yet:

“CNN Poll; Percentage of Republicans who think Biden's 2020 win was illegitimate ticks back up near 70%”

Only in MAGA-world do they boast about being played for fools and suckers...

Trump admitted he lost to Biden: *Alyssa Farah Griffin, the former White House director of strategic communications, said on CNN's "State of the Union" that Trump "watching Joe Biden on TV said, 'Can you believe I lost to this guy?'

Then you have Giuliani not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES admitting that there was no fraud and his previous statements were ALL LIES...

1) He admitted before a judge while under oath that "this is not a fraud case"...

https://time.com/5914377/donald-trump-no-evidence-fraud/

2) He told the Arizona Repub Chairman what "We just don't have any evidence"....

https://www.businessinsider.com/rudy-giuliani-voter-fraud-evidence-rusty-bowers-testimony-jan6-committee-2022-6

3) "Defendant Giuliani, for the purposes of litigation only, does not contest that, to the extent the statements were statements of fact and other wise actionable, such actionable factual statements were false,”

The fact that so many Repubs hide their eyes to their own MAGA-heroes telling them this is all a scam just shows how gullible and easy to manipulate they are...

There's a reason Trump continues to play his supporters for suckers - and it was clearly shown this week where he used $80 million of their campaign contributions to pay for his lawyers...

And no doubt they'll continue to send their money - even when he's sitting in a cell at Leavenworth...

Navalny criticizes Putin in the media and gets 19 years behind bars.....

Prigozhin launches a coup against Putin, kills Russian soldiers, shoots down Russian planes, and takes over a Russian city....and he's invited to Putin's Africa Summit...

The whole Wagner mutiny has shown the "Little Emperor had no clothes"....Putin is finished - he can't even lock up a guy that was on his way to Moscow to overthrow him...

How many other of his cronies have watched this and said yes, you too can launch a coup and still get invites to state summits...

Putin is on a countdown to getting tossed out an 8-story window...

Russia losing another large flagship in the Black Sea...

https://edition.cnn.com/2023/08/04/europe/ukraine-sea-drone-russian-warship-black-sea-intl/index.html

How will Putin spin this one - another "accident" like the Moskva?

The families of the Russian sailors killed in these attacks deserve the truth - but Putin will continue with his weak, unbelievable lies...

Pence's team blasted out clips of the interview via email — “ICYMI: PENCE CHOSE THE CONSTITUTION OVER TRUMP AND ALWAYS WILL," they read — and Pence clashed with a conservative talk radio host who had characterized Pence's stance on the 6th as merely his “beliefs."

Like all campaign slogans, a little off....should be; I CHOSE THE CONSTITUTION OVER TRUMP ON JAN 6TH BUT FORGOT ABOUT IT FOR FOUR YEARS FROM 2016 TO 2020....

Oh well, I'll give Mikey credit - he staved off an attempted overthrow of our democracy by a cabal of crazed authoritarians who are now being held accountable. And as former "best ever" AG Bill Barr has said, there's a lot more Jack Smith will show us as the trial gets closer....much of it from the "copious notes" Pence took anytime he met with Trump...

And then there are the "MAGA-six" - one (Giuliani) is already cooperating...how many others will turn and toss Trump under the bus. More significantly, neither Mark Meadows nor Jared Kushner are identified as "co-conspirators" - looks like they have cut a "deal to squeal" too...

The MAGA-rats will all turn on each other and the Head Rat...

It will be entertaining to watch...

ever since the newly woke Navy got their sailors captured by Iran under Obama, the mystique was gone as it relates to them being an Iran deterrent. nobody is scared of our Navy under Democrat "leadership".

MAGA-world is certainly consistent....disparage and insult out own military and security services, giving "aid and comfort" to our enemies...

I have quite a few Navy friends at Yokosuka, Atsugi, and White Beach - and the Seabees at Camp Shields - am sure they'd be glad to "discuss" how "soft" they are with you...in you're interested....

Just make sure your health insurance is up to date...

It would if there were a scintilla of evidence, but there isnt, so it’s not.

There is, bank records

Indeed....

"An analysis of Trump’s tax records by the Times shows that the President holds a previously unreported bank account in China that was not included on his public financial disclosures. The President’s tax records show he has invested at least $192,000 in five companies established to pursue projects in China over multiple years, according to the Times."

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-china-bank-account-hotel-deals-tax-records

video and audio tapes don’t lie

They sure don't...

"Wait a minute, let's see here. I just found, isn't that amazing?" Trump says. "Except it is like, highly confidential. Secret. This is secret information. Look, look at this. This was done by the military and given to me. As president I could have declassified, but now I can't."

https://abcnews.go.com/US/secret-information-trump-audio-recording-talks-declassifying-documents/story?id=99960824

You just summed up the DOJ in a nutshell.

Indeed you did - well done...

It's quite telling how consistent Trump's defense is in all of his indictments...

Stormy payoff case: I'm so dumb, I didn't know the check I was signing for $30K was going to the porn star I had a fling with...

Classified stash and steal: I'm so dumb, I didn't know the difference between the thick classified warplan I was waving around showing uncleared people and newspaper clippings...

Jan 6th: I'm so dumb, I was easily convinced by these kooky lawyers and hangers-on who came up with these hair-brained, crazy schemes to draft fake electors and seize voting machines....

Georgia election: I'm so dumb, I didn't know it was illegal to call the Sec of State and ask him to "find 10,740 votes" that didn't exist....

I have to say, the man makes an accurate self-assessment...though as a legal strategy, it just guarantees him a nice cell at Leavenworth...

Geez, that top picture really says it all...a tired, old, overweight senior citizen, weighed down with three serious criminal indictments...knowing a fourth one is imminent...each one having evidence of his own self-incrimination...

But the fleece must go on - he's burned through almost $100 million in lawyers fees - all scammed from his MAGA-flock who thought they were contributing to his campaign...

The so-called "billionaire" - who is forced to grovel for money at every campaign stop...

As bad as he looks, one wonders how long he is going to last at Leavenworth....

Another surrender...

No reason to.

But you did...

OK, you fell for the landslide lie...

If you think so.

You said so - in your archive...

Surrender three...

No surrender 1

LOL....

Doesn't understand the difference between a civil lawsuit and a criminal indictment...

See Democrats.

Your words....and misunderstanding...

Surrender four...

No need or reason to

But you did...

Scroll up....ROFL....

For left propaganda

For more Bass white flags....ROFL...

Who?

Who?

Another surrender...

Black and white in your archive - or have you flipped again?

Never flipped

OK, you fell for the landslide lie...just like you archive says...

ROFL....whoX2?

Nothing as usual. Keep trying.

Surrender three...

Just three indictments with a fourth in the coming weeks...with over 100 total charges...and it only takes one...

Ahhh, more frivolous faux lawsuits and then?

Doesn't understand the difference between a civil lawsuit and a criminal indictment...

Yep, nothing to counter...

No need to counter.

Surrender four...

It's your white flag...

Not mine, what are you talking about? Lol

Scroll up....ROFL....

Yes, it must be hard for you hearing all the new bombshells each day...LOL...

Hunter?

Who?

You fell for it - it's all in your archive...

Interpretation?

Black and white in your archive - or have you flipped again?

Ask Mr Pelosi...

Preferably, Hunter….

ROFL....whoX2?

It already went...

And still nothing…hmmm.

Just three indictments with a fourth in the coming weeks...with over 100 total charges...and it only takes one...

More ultra convincing refutations...

Still not coming to fruition, figures.

Yep, nothing to counter...

When your counter-arguments have nothing to offer except "hardly", "interpretation", and "not going to happen", you know the white flag as been raised...

So the the the lost disillusioned perplexed left thinks.

It's your white flag...thanks for waving it...

The indictment also includes six unnamed co-conspirators. Based on the descriptions, they appear to include Trump's former personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who called several state lawmakers in the weeks following the 2020 election to pressure them not to certify their state's results; former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark, who tried to get himself installed as attorney general so he could launch voter fraud investigations in Georgia and other swing states; and attorney John Eastman, who advanced the erroneous legal theory that Pence could block the electoral certification.

The "MAGA-Six"....who are they likely to be?

Rudy Giuliani, Jeffry Clark, John Eastman, Sidney Powell, Kenneth Chesebro, plus one other; maybe Steve Bannon...

Anyone think these six will not turn on one another to save themselves from jail?

No way - Rudy has already flipped to save himself from a cell...now that the pressure is on them they will crack like the rotten eggs they are...

And to help them flip - just watch Trump's lawyers try to paint them as "rogue" giving Trump bad advice....

The whole spectacle will be one of all the rats turning on the head rat who turns on them...

Or in other words, a MAGA-cesspool...

Our MAGA friends grow more desperate and deranged with each new charge and indictment....

Hardly.

Yes, it must be hard for you hearing all the new bombshells each day...LOL...

Just as in 2020, they'll seek solace within their far-right alt-reality bubble....the one that told them Trump would win in 2020 in a "landslide"....

interpretation

You fell for it - it's all in your archive...

And then when reality intrudes on their fantasy, they lie, cheat, steal, and finally resort to violence...

Like the way the Dems are doing?

Ask Mr Pelosi...

No doubt the cycle will repeat itself when Trump is convicted on his multiple indictments...

Go for it. Lol

It already went...

The only difference is instead of a platform in DC, Trump will make his call for an insurrection from a cell at Leavenworth...

Not going to happen.

More ultra convincing refutations...

When your counter-arguments have nothing to offer except "hardly", "interpretation", and "not going to happen", you know the white flag as been raised...

Our MAGA-lawyers here all like to cite intent...they may want to re-think what they wish for given how many times Trump personally has incriminated himself...

Stormy payoff case: Trump's "black Sharpie signature" on the check...

The classified stash and steal case: "Wait a minute, let's see here. I just found, isn't that amazing?" Trump says. "Except it is like, highly confidential. Secret. This is secret information. Look, look at this. This was done by the military and given to me. As president I could have declassified, but now I can't."

The Jan 6th insurrection case: "Can you believe I lost to this guy?"

The Georgia obstruction case: "I just want you to find 11,740 votes"....

MAGA-world grows more desperate and deranged with each new charge and indictment....

Just as in 2020, they'll seek solace within their far-right alt-reality media bubble....the one that told them Trump would win in 2020 in a "landslide"....

And then when reality intrudes on their fantasy, they lie, cheat, steal, and finally resort to violence...

No doubt the cycle will repeat itself when Trump is convicted on one or more of his over 100 charges...

The only difference is instead of a platform in DC, Trump will make his call for an insurrection from a cell at Leavenworth...

Traitors and mutineers against their own country....

Stealing voting machines to tamper with the results....

Start a MAGA-wing at the state pen and lock all these insurrectionists up...

Prosecutors wrote that Trump knew his claims that the election was fraudulent were false

good luck proving what someone “knows”.

No need for luck, they have the Trump insiders to prove it...

*Alyssa Farah Griffin, the former White House director of strategic communications, said on CNN's "State of the Union" that Trump "blurted out watching Joe Biden on TV, 'Can you believe I lost to this guy?'"*

The indictment alleges Trump conspired with six other unnamed individuals to overturn the results. Prosecutors wrote that Trump knew his claims that the election was fraudulent were false, but repeated them anyway to "create an intense national atmosphere of mistrust and anger and erode public faith in the administration of the election."

Six others - wanna bet Rudy Giuliani is one of them? The guy that met with Smith's team for eight hours and submitted a "proffer" outlining what more he could testify to if offered a "deal to squeal"....

So is Giuliani still a MAGA-hero?

Wow, just wow....

It's clear Xi is bent on establishing an Orwellian state...

I'm not sure the Chinese people will go for that...

Time for another Tiananmen Square...

After months of intensified and increasingly ambitious drills to project power, Chinese President Xi Jinping, speaking ahead of Tuesday's 96th anniversary of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), told China's armed forces to speed up modernization.

He ought to demand they comply with his authority - it is clear that the Chinese military refuses to recognize Xi and does what it wants...

They're rogue - and that just ups the chances of some type of military encounter that could spin out of control...

Blacklabel: DeSantis is a "Loser" just like Pence and Christie.....

Bass4funk: DeSantis is a "rockstar".....

So, who's right?

I like both men.

I didn't mention "both men" - I said you think DeSantis is a "rockstar" and Black thinks he's clearly a "Loser" the same as Pence and Christie...

So, are you right or is Black?

Blacklabel: DeSantis is a "Loser" just like Pence and Christie.....

Bass4funk: DeSantis is a "rockstar".....

So, who's right?

yep, so we agree the nominee will be Trump.

I hope so...who wouldn't want to run against a guy facing over 100 criminal counts on four indictments...

and Joe is historically unpopular so, there is that concern for Team Dem.

And Trump is off to jail, so that is a BIG CONCERN for the Repubs...

So to even care about DeSantis (or anyone else) at all at this point is well....pointless.

Hey, I was just agreeing with your post - you said he's a "Loser' just like Christie and Pence...

"Now he (and Pence and Christie) get to join the Mitt Romney/John McCain perpetual losers club."

from his cell at Leavenworth.

hey buddy! what happened to the 3 years of promising Rikers Island?

Thanks Buddy!

I wholeheartedly agree with you - DeSantis is a "Loser" the same as Christie and Pence...

Only fools would vote for this "Phony RINO Groomer"...

should have waited until 2028.

Now he (and Pence and Christie) get to join the Mitt Romney/John McCain perpetual losers club.

Indeed - all thanks to the guy that called him 'Ron DeSoros", a "RINO phony", a "Globalist sellout", some who has filled Florida with "misery and despair" making it "one of the worst states in the US"....and he's also a "Groomer"....

https://www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/politics/2023/04/21/donald-trump-says-ron-desantis-created-misery-and-despair-in-florida/70139811007/

Just wait until 2028 so we can replay all those quotes from the Ultra MAGA King...maybe he'll even come up with some new ones...from his cell at Leavenworth...

Trump has sunk DeSantis...and as they say, you can't raise the Titanic...

Trump has falsely claimed the election in Georgia and elsewhere was marred by widespread fraud, despite dozens of court rulings finding no evidence to support it.

Indeed...and this week Rudy Giuliani confirmed it was all lies; "Defendant Giuliani, for the purposes of litigation only, does not contest that, to the extent the statements were statements of fact and other wise actionable, such actionable factual statements were false,”

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/rudy-giuliani-concedes-made-false-statements-georgia-election-workers-rcna96395

False - as in untrue, fabrications, LIES...

This makes the THIRD TIME Rudy has fessed up the truth that Trump's election fraud claims were all bogus...

1) He admitted before a judge while under oath that "this is not a fraud case"...

https://time.com/5914377/donald-trump-no-evidence-fraud/

2) He told the Arizona Repub Chairman what "We just don't have any evidence"....

https://www.businessinsider.com/rudy-giuliani-voter-fraud-evidence-rusty-bowers-testimony-jan6-committee-2022-6

Now the third...

Additionally, Giuliani VOLUNTEERED to meet with Jack Smith and provided a "proffer" which is a document that outlines all the "dimes he can drop on Trump" if offered a leniency deal....

So Rudy has contradicted Trump's claims of massive fraud three times and is now cooperating with Jack Smith to help put Trump behind bars,...

Yet as of a few days ago, one MAGA-poster here said clearly that Giuliani is a "MAGA-hero"....

So the guy that's saying the beloved Ultra MAGA King is a bold-faced liar and is cooperating with the "deranged" Jack Smith trying to put Trump in a cell at Leavenworth is hailed as a MAGA-hero....

Welcome to MAGA-world...

Pay attention - this is coming to a Red State in the US near you...

Eight months since the GOP took the house. Their achievements?

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/courage-strength-optimism/house-republicans-bill-end-covid-19-public-health-emergency

Hey, you missed all the "real" accomplishments...

MTG calling Boebert a "lttle b%tch"....

Van Orden cursing out teenage pages...

McCarthy questioning Trump's 2024 electability - then groveling and flipping the next day...

Comer losing his "bombshell Hunter witness" then finding out he is a Chinese agent...

Jim Jordan's brain freeze live on Hannity: “That’s exactly what happened with, yuh, with the decision, the, the, uh, when it came to the uh, the decision with uh, Mr. uh,” Jordan said, then reset himself.

And their signature legislation; "The Republican-controlled House today has approved legislation that GOP lawmakers say would protect gas stoves from overzealous government regulators."

ROFL...

I spent 27 years on active duty in the military and 13 more as a DOD civilian....

This bunk about our troops being soft, unready, and "woke" - by a bunch of MAGA-armchair warriors whose only uniforms came from an Army surplus store is comedy gold....

I urge them to stop by any Army, Navy, Marine, Air Force, or Coast Guard installation and tell the troops leaving the base that they are "soft"....

Just make sure to pick a base that has a hospital close by....

Wouldn't it be hilarious if all these Wagner troops move menacingly towards Poland's border - and when they get there they all pull our white flags and raise their hands and say "We want asylum - get us out of Russia and Belarus"....

Putin is dumb but he ain't that dumb...even without NATO Poland has a Western-armed, well-trained military that would walk right through Belarus and even head right for Moscow if it wanted....it would decimate Putin's weak, poorly trained bunch of conscripts and convicts...

“We should not fear a government shutdown," said Rep. Bob Good, R-Va. “Most of the American people won't even miss if the government is shut down temporarily.”

Sure Bob, just wait until all those Social Sec recipients, military retirees, disabled vets, school lunch kids, and others get cut off - they won't miss anything... MAGA-idiot...

Many House Republicans disagree with that assessment. Rep. Mike Simpson, R-Idaho, called it an oversimplification to say most Americans wouldn't feel an impact. And he warned Republicans would take the blame for a shutdown. “We always get blamed for it, no matter what,” Simpson said. ”So it’s bad policy, it’s bad politics."...

A sane Repub...

There are two lessons Repubs always fail to learn; 1) The coverup is worse than the crime, and 2) Repubs will always get blamed for shutdowns...

But shutdown the gov't once more - and show the American people you're doing Putin, Xi, and The Mullahs work for them...
