To recap:
-Trump went on tv and asked other countries to interfere in the 2020 election
-His AG is threatening to prosecute the FBI and CIA employees who investigated the last interference
-The GOP Senate keeps blocking election security measures

This is all out in the open.
This investigation is, along with everything else wrong with it, a message to everyone in the FBI, IC and State Department that they should just let other countries interfere in 2020.

Asking for foreign interference is literally part of the Trump campaign. Just like last time. But now they're undercutting our defenses from within.

Meanwhile in the Senate, Marsha Blackburn blocked 3 election security bills this week. Her longtime friend and lawyer Kline Preston is the guy who introduced the NRA to the Russian government.

The day before Blackburn’s blocks, GOP Senators Thune and Kennedy blocked similar bills. In a wild coincidence, they were 2 of the 8 Republicans that spent last year's Fourth of July in Moscow.

This. I don’t think they believe the theories they’re selling, but they’re all too happy to push them and bend our policies around them. This is authoritarianism 101, and they’re attempting an authoritarian takeover.

My favorite part of the left is the part that acts holier than thou from their guest seat on the Tucker Carlson White Supremacy Hour.
The Left™️ needs to grapple with the fact that so many of its members are more interested in forming coalitions with white bigots than with the black base of the Democratic Party.

Trump’s new talking point about “unelected bureaucrats” is absurd. Everyone in the executive branch besides him and Pence is unelected. Barr, Ivanka and Jared, every general and FBI agent…

The smear only works because the right has been smearing our government for decades.
You can draw a straight line from Reagan saying “the government is the problem” to Trump blaming “the Deep State” when his employees catch him criming.
There’s a difference between objecting to specific laws or politicians, and objecting to government in general. And it’s a contradiction to claim you love the Constitution but hate the system of government it sets out.

Some of the left is so busy opposing Democrats they forget to oppose Republicans.
I don’t know how you read this and take from it I think all Democrats are perfect, or that you can’t criticize them. It’s very specifically aimed at people who *only* criticize Dems and leave the GOP alone.

Here's a link if anyone wants to watch the trainwreck that is the Democrat Debate tonight.

The only thing that may make it watchable at all is if Tulsi Gabbard goes after Joe "Fire the Prosecutor" Biden.

I'll try to give updates on it, let's see how long it lasts lol. CNN + The New York Times + Democrats = literally unwatchable.
David Axelrod just said the crowd won't be happy if anyone attacks Joe Biden over his corruption and that they'll be greeted with applause if they defend him lol. Pathetic.

#SmearAlert My writing/vids must be becoming awfully Effective given the #RiseInAttacks lately. Noting, for their Smears, Inventions, Lies, Revisions of History, as of date:

Judging by the convolutions, repetitions, targeted attacks rolled out by the Spoo'k crowd post the #PedoSatanicSpook tweet, it sounds like all await a repeat Public Ed effort on #EllaFree #MidgeMathis #DrKatherineHorton-Thx. Offers an opp. to re-post vital articles, excerpts. 2/
Those like #OrtaineDevian #AndySpoo #DeborahWeber & a few others, in particular, appear variously confused & keen to lash crudely out, always a prob. I'm sure when alligators used to mud-wrestling encounter a truth-telling journalist. 3/

😂😂😂😂 Joe Biden wrote an op-ed for WAPO and doesn't use the word Ukraine even ONCE in the entire thing. He alludes to it, vaguely talks about the whistleblower, and names China and Russia but never uses the word Ukraine. Wow.

washingtonpost.com/opinions/joe-b…
Here Joe Biden LIES and says that President Trump has directly asked three countries to interfere in our election, names two of them (Russia and China) yet never names a third country (which the whole impeachment sham is about, Ukraine). He's afraid to use the word Ukraine 😂😂😂
Whoever advised him to write this and leave out the one thing everyone has been talking about (his ties to Ukraine) is an absolute idiot lol. Him omitting it entirely is in no way him fighting back against the allegations, it's him running and hiding from them. And it's blatant.

Why aren't Americans taking about the foreign influence in the US government that continues to send our men and woman to fight immoral wars?

#Trump when he campaigned for president, before he decided to let Adelson fund his campain!

Adelson was one of the biggest donors to Trumps presidential campain. Adelsons company saved 670 million dollars from the massive republican tax break. Adelson did not support the Iran deal & wanted the US embassy moved to Jerusalem.

Adelson has a direct line to #potus!

Adelson has private in-person meetings & phone conversations about once a month with #Trump!

Adelson used his access to move the embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and cut aid to Palestinians.
