One year ago today. #January6th, #CoupDeTat, #StoptheSteal #TheBigLie #NPR

 

A year ago today, I was sitting here in front of the computer, a nice view of trees out of the window. I had the radio on to KUAR the Little Rock NPR affiliate to get some local weather and news when the radio interrupted the regular show. They cut to a clip from Washington about events at the Capital Rotunda. An attack on the Capital, that started with a “Stop the Steal Rally”. People were swarming the Capital from the rally. The President told his supporters to walk down the Capital. He said “I will be there with you”, but he wasn't.

NPR, January 6^th.

I had been lulled into a calm state of mind, I thought the lies and law suits that all failed, were over. Just the Certificating of the electoral college vote was left. Boy howdy was I wrong! By that night the attack was over at the Capitol. I breathed a sigh of relief. Little did I know that the slide to a corrupted one party system was already being planed by Republican leadership in many of the state capitals around the country. The Big Lie Continues, NPR.

It has become clear that Democracy is not a product, it is a process.

Like Ben Franklin said after the Constitutional Convention. “A Republic, if You can keep it.”

Run for a local office, Democracy is not a spectator sport. Run for Something. Support local Candidates that support Democracy. Organize locally. Democracy is not a spectator sport. Tag, You’re it.

You can not negotiate with a psychopath. That is the problem.

You can not negotiate with a psychopath. Ronald Reagan said, the Government is the problem. The line of thinking pushed by corporatism to justify getting rid of regulations. Why? To make it easier to pillage the commons and the economy, and or abuse the workers.

The psychopath will Attack others for what they are doing. Projecting attack onto others for what you are doing.

Ronald Reagan and George Bush committed treason before being elected, in the perpetration of the Iran Contra Affair.

Richard Nixon committed Treason before he was elected, by interfering with the Viet Nam peace deal that had been set up and negotiated by the Johnson administration.

Al Gore in 1999 failed to call out and name clearly the election as stolen. Call out and name clearly, and then stop the Brooks Brothers Riots, which was planed and organized by Roger Stone, to stop the counting of the ballots. Then the election was stolen by the so called conservative part of the Supreme Court and handed to George Bush Jr on a silver platter. That was just a psychopathic political party testing the waters for stealing future elections. This was setting the stage for future election theft on a grand scale, and to further the cover-up of election theft on a massive scale by Republicans and their operatives.

George W and gang would go on to start wars under false premises, and promote war crimes and human rights violations on a massive scale

Trump was saying the elections were rigged before he was the nominee for the Republicans in 2016.

2016 election was stolen?

No one ever investigated the narrow margins that Trump was elected by in the 2016 general election. Nor the many irregularities and massive voter dis enfranchisement of the 2016 election.

He did loose the popular vote by several millions, and only win by a few thousands in the electoral states that put him in the White House.

Trump was behind those that organized and planed the January 6^th attack of the capital in DC. Like a mob boss he suggested criminal activity without actually saying “Pull the trigger”.

Then after the Impeachment trials in the Senate Mitch McConnell comes out and says, Trump was responsible for the attack, after he voted for acquittal? Do you believe in good and evil? You are looking at it. McConnell is also a sociopath, just a more refined type of sociopath than Donald.

Shrinks, that is a psychologist will tell you that you can’t be a shrink until you have lent five bucks to a psychopath. The Republican party lent the party to Trump hoping to get a rich payback. They will never get it back, he is a thief and a murder. He has not admitted remorse for January sixth in DC; and never showed any remorse for the hundreds of thousands of people that have died from the Covid-19 disasters on his watch.

As Professor Noam Chomsky said. The most dangerous organization in the world is the Republican Party

And then the other day after the Impeachment trial is over Donald Makes another MAGA Statement, and saying that the election was stolen? #LyingDonald #THISMUSTEND #TrumpTraitor #EndTheRepublicanparty

Why the polls were right for the 2020 election. A landslide for Democracy.

 

If the Republican party really wanted to keep control of the White House they should have stolen more votes and disenfranchised more people.

Ever since the HAVA, the HELP AMERICA VOTE ACT, exit polls have been more and more off. Not because they are wrong, but they are a reflection of corruption of the voting systems in America.

Exit polling was always right! People remember how they voted five minuets ago! They were often within a few tenths of a point.

Will Congress and New President Joe reauthorize, update and enforce the Voting Rights act? Reverse the Right Wing attack in Shelby v. Holder.

Interstate Cross Check has removed millions of legitimately registered voters from the voter rolls in many states across the US. A fundamentally flawed system with many security flaws. Interstate cross check was recently suspended indefinitely in a federal civil rights lawsuit. Why would elected or appointed officials have made it harder for people to vote?

Why would a local increase in drop off locations be stopped by the Governor?

What reason would a Republican governor and an all Republican Texas Supreme Court have for a limited number of drops for ballots in Texas?

Why limiting numbers of polling stations? Waiting for hours in a line in Georgia to vote during a pandemic.

 In spite of all limitations, people came out by the thousands. Democratic areas and areas with larger populations of non-white voters spent much longer in lines. The long lines are by design. Still Voters stood up to defend our system of government.

How many people had to use a provisional ballot that thought they were still on the list of registered voters? 

Why would so many people think that they are registered that are not?

Greg Palast and Stacy Abrams the former state legislator and candidate for Governor are addressing the problems of voter disenfranchisement head on in Georgia. What about the under vote in this years election.

One runoff for two seats are left in the US Senate and will be secured January 5th.  BlueGeorgiaSenate.Com

Democrats must challenge the Republicans and call their Bluff about Voting Fraud, and Mail in ballots being rigged. Re-institute the Voting Rights Act.

Why are Paper ballots, and fully audit-able voting systems are essential,  to secure future elections

No more electronic systems with no paper trail, and definitely no privately owned and proprietary systems for voting. Call your Representatives, state and federal

Why during the middle of a pandemic and economic disaster, an attack on the US mail system? The wholesale destruction of hundreds of of high speed mail sorting machines and removal of mail boxes ordered by Louis DeJoy.

 Delaying the mail during the biggest mail in vote election in American history. Delaying the delivery of medicine by mail, and damaging commerce and the economy further. Endangering hundreds of thousand of elderly or unhealthy people, and Veterans.

The failed attempt to dis-enfranchise the most populace county in Michigan.

The President #45 going so far as to call elected officials from Michigan and Pennsylvania to DC in an attempt to overturn the legitimate results from the state. Filing dozens of frivolous law suits to challenge the results of the elections. Done mostly in areas of democratic or mostly voters of color.

In spite of this all, the people of America removed Trump from the White House. Time to take Senate seats in the runoff January Fifth. Help secure the continuation of our democracy. Anything you can do to help.

The Audacity of Hypocrisy.

So you desire the support of the Berners, Claire McCaskill, do this and we can talk. First there must be an admission that the primary was stolen from the Berners and from Senator Sanders in 2016 by the DNC and their agents.  California primary and the Nevada caucus among others  and outright removal of whole precincts from the voting rolls  , were vast disasters to our republic, C-span would be a good place to start since the regular media will not want to talk about this. Real Honesty and moral principles. Maybe the fixing of the primary was not such a good Idea.
Second you must come out in front of congress and start the discussion about the Voter disenfranchisement disaster that stole the general election ...the  Kris W. Kobach Interstate Crosscheck program that removed millions of legally registered voters from the rolls, under the guise of voter fraud. Anyone who voted on a provisional ballot almost certainly had their vote stolen or what is called spoiled by  the county clerks or Secretary of states.
Then we can talk about BIG dirty money in elections, both Dem and Republicans. Then we can talk about the support you would like from the Greenie progressives and the Berners for Progress​.

Hillary was just as much of a crook along with much of the DNC in the theft of the 2016 primary election, as the RNC and the Republican insiders are of the theft of the General Election 2016. It is still unlikely that the fraud that Trump says is real will be found. VP Mike Pence was investigated for voter suppression in Indiana.
While the DNC likes to play itself off as for the working people, they still are mostly corporate Dems who are beholden to big money. The DNC considered Bernie unelectable while the people and the progressive movements loved him.

Now the most dangerous team of Republican crooks in recent history along with President Lying Donald are running (DC) the district of criminals. And they are one of the Richest, and most beholden to Wall street and banking interests.

The Republicans scream about States rights,The Tenth Amendment (Amendment X) stating that the federal government possesses only those powers delegated to it by the United States Constitution. All remaining powers are reserved for the states or the people. But the republicans are working on forcing there agenda on the states. Immigration is Federal under article 1 section 8 clause 4 of the US Constitution. It is up to the Feds and congress to regulate immigration. Not up to the states to enforce, and definitely not the Cities to do this. There is no authority for the federal judiciary to redefine the meaning of words, like in the Citizens United  case; when money was defined as a form of free speech! There is no authority in the constitution for the federal government to force the cities or the states to do the jobs that are the responsibility of Congress to regulate. Nor is there authority to coerce local governments with threats, or by withholding funding.

Similar problems of so called states rights on issues like minimum wages, pollution control, coal mining or toxic waste, and Clean water or air.  

The Republicans Refused to have a vote on Merrick Garland , but now insist that Neil Gorsuch as Supreme Court justice must be voted on as soon as possible.

His past decision are terrible. Mostly against workers and regular people and in favor of corporations and banks. See his decision about the Hobby Lobby case for example.

The Republicans cry foul about being spied on for their corruption during the election or even before, but now they have passed legislation to sell your whole internet history.  No respect for the Fourth amendment. No respect for privacy unless it is theirs.

Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Tom Price is an American physician and Republican politician who is currently the newest  United States Secretary of Health and Human Services. A privatization advocate who says he thinks the for profit health industry can do health care for the people best. It is obvious that it is best for the profits of  Tom Price.

Scott Pruitt is now head of the EPA, who only a couple months ago said carbon emissions are not "a primary contributor" to global warming. Why would this guy be put in charge of the EPA after he sued the EPA 14 times. Maybe to protect his big money donors that do the polluting?
