Get used to it, folks: a weekly ranting from the boy-king. Unless Judge Merchan can summoned enough moxy to detain a former el presidente from campaigning for re-election. Emotionally unstable US Person thinks home detention in his Manhattan Trump Tower penthouse would be suitable. SEntencing is no sure thing at this pint since Team Trump has asked for another delay based on the MAGA Court's gift of presidential immunity.
The latest utterance on campaign is about windmills and dead birds! The thing about his rants is that if you did deep enough you can find a grain of fact.✓ Yes, wind turbines kill a lot of birds each year, an estimated 350,000. Do you think Don the Con really cares about again deaths? ;The answer is obvious: no. What he cares about are his fossil fuel friends underwriting his get out of jail card. He was not joking when he asked them for a billion dollar contribution. The CMM is complicit in his assault on democracy because it chooses to ignore his obvious psychopathology in the interests of preserving the quadrennial poltical horse race that generates headlines, and therefore, dollars. Ask yourself why the CMM does not make an issue of his personality disorder the same way the did Biden's age. Fair and balanced ? This country's politics needs at least two things: public financing of federal office campaigns and a viable third party.
On to the more factual material: this week, Tina Peters, the Mesa County, Colorado election clerk was found guilty by a jury of official misconduct for allowing a Trump minion to access the electronic vote counting equipment. She used the credentials of a co-worker to allow pillow-guy Mike Lindell's associate to make a copy of a hard drive and observe a software update. She was convicted of identity theft, one count of conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, and one count of criminal impersonation. She is the first state election official to be convicted for a role in Trumpilini's election rigging scheme. Peters is scheduled to be sentenced October 3rd. She has not given up on the Big Lie, however. In a post after the verdict, Peters accused Colorado-based Dominion Voting Systems, which made her county’s election system, as well as lawyers for state election officials, of stealing votes.
