I also read that story this morning, it is not hard to read from many different sources, especially with our computers and smart phones. The list of sources is wide and varied, and it is good to read from so many sources. It provides each of us the opportunity to form our own opinions upon almost any subject.

I even read stories on the right, all of the time, on a variety of subjects, and many times I wonder how they come up with some of their conclusions.

No one has all of the answers, just like we learned from a world wide pandemic that lasted a few years. But you do not stop your search for information, and even when you get someplace you keep on reading. But it seems like the right, and conservatives of America have a solution to any issue, and then go about creating the information that must support those findings.

I like the 7th image where frump is frowning at the photog in that reflected weird shot because he's thinking, "Oh no, that girl photog is too low, she can see my little package, she's fired, no one shoots me below the coat, it's bad, very bad.

And this from the same article, do you think it's coincidence Thomas's name is in this? Want to bet Eastman is pals with ginnie?

In a two-page “privileged and confidential” memo, dated Jan. 2, ultraconservative lawyer John Eastman set out in six points how Trump would be declared the winner. It was a blueprint for a coup. The memo said, “7 states have transmitted dual slates of electors.”

If even a single state had dual slates of electors, that could cause havoc in the congressional certification.

Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, one of Trump’s strongest supporters, was shocked when he read the memo that the White House had sent to him. Alternative electors would be major national news if it were true. He had heard of none. Lee had launched his own investigation, and spent two months talking to Trump and White House officials and calling representatives in Republican-controlled legislatures.

There were zero alternate slates. Lee was surprised that the deceptive memo had come from Eastman, a law school professor and former clerk to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.


Holy shit... frump is such a loser he took notes from nixon and used them all for himself. frump has no originality, only narcissistic criminality.

Though it took us months to establish, Nixon, his White House staff and his reelection campaign immediately began an unprecedented attack on the justice system, launching a comprehensive coverup involving lies, hush-money payments and offers of presidential pardons to conceal their crimes.

What a great read there and such clarity and an amazing matching script that frump followed. Only difference between the two is frump had the support of so many feral republiklans who also want to hold power that they threw away the constitution and the American people and our democracy not once but twice by stopping frumps impeachments cold. Flat out stopped frumps impeachments.

Today's republiklans are not only weak and lame nazi's, they are un-comprehensively more and proudly public about their corruption.

The fact that some 79% of Republican voters still say they believe Biden did not legitimately win the election is very worrying.

"Woodward and Bernstein thought Nixon defined corruption. Then came Trump."

It means some 79% of Republicans are either so ignorant of the politics of America they haven't seen enough of the overwhelming evidence which clearly makes a lie of Trump's position in his big lie. Evidence so clear even Lindsey Graham know it's a lie:

"Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor, Trump lawyer and confidant, made similar allegations of a rigged election and massive voter fraud. Giuliani wrote his claims in long memos that he sent to Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Trump insider. When Graham investigated the claims, he found nothing. “Count me out,” Graham said dramatically on the Senate floor."

Or they know of all the evidence to the lie, and they don't care. Both should be equally disturbing.

"More than a year after Joe Biden’s inauguration, polling shows that only 21 percent of Republicans say they believe Biden is the legitimate president of the United States.
P - Their reasoning shows how the Trump rhetoric and playbook have convinced them. Between 74 and 83 percent of the Republicans who denied Biden’s victory were swayed by Trump’s false claims of massive voter fraud.
P - Trump’s claims have always been presented with unwavering, emotional consistency, revealing little or no self-doubt. As the 2024 election approaches, Trump seems on the verge of once again seeking the presidency.
P - Both Nixon and Trump have been willing prisoners of their compulsions to dominate, and to gain and hold political power through virtually any means
."

The Republicans who know and don't care also must be prisoners of their own compulsions "to dominate and to gain and hold political power through virtually any means." Or at least to have others do those things for them. It could be seen as further signalling of death of most all ethical and moral considerations within a large majority of Republican voters, when it comes to politics. So much for any caring for democracy.

Also, while it's good to know the answer Ford had,

I’ve got it in my wallet here,” he would reply, pulling out a folded, dog-eared piece of paper summarizing the Supreme Court decision Burdick v. United States in 1915. The justices had ruled that a pardon “carries an imputation of guilt; acceptance a confession of it.”

it should be noted the admission doesn't appear to have hurt Bannon, or the others Trump pardoned,

Trump pardons ex-strategist Steve Bannon, dozens of others
By JONATHAN LEMIRE, ERIC TUCKER and JILL COLVINJanuary 21, 2021
https://apnews.com/article/steve-bannon-trump-pardons-broidy-66c82f25134735e742b2501c118723bb

though the reason does go a long way to understanding why Trump didn't pardon himself. After all, as
the article makes clear, Trump is a psychopath incapable of recognizing failure. Or of accepting guilt.

Finally here, at least some kudos must be given to Republicans like Tony Daunt

Lansing — Tony Daunt, a longtime Michigan Republican insider, resigned Tuesday night from the GOP's state committee,
saying party leaders had made the coming election a test of "who is most cravenly loyal" to former President Donald Trump.
[...]
Daunt described Trump as a "deranged narcissist."
