This horrifying piece confirms my theory that Trump attacked mail in voting to get his base to vote in person so he could declare victory the night of the election & claim the delayed, mostly Dem tallies are fraudulent. But it may have backfired and Dems are now voting in person.
The early in person voting lines is why I think Trump’s mail-in voting lies and attacks on the USPS backfired.
If Trump loses the in-person tally, than this whole elector rigging strategy falls apart.
He’s counting on Democrats to vote mail-in so there’s a delay in those tallies & he can falsely cry fraud. If there’s no delay, he can’t do that.
It’s clear now we have to vote in person.
This is why Trump’s voter intimidation squads will be a big problem this year:
“The 2020 presidential election will be the first in 40 years to take place without a federal judge requiring the RNC to seek approval in advance for any ‘ballot security’ operations at the polls.”

Fake elite “populists” are exploiting anti-elite messaging from real populist movements.
They are “elite” themselves but claim they’re fighting oppressive systems while perpetuating them. They do this by making their fake populism not about economic class, but ideological class.
The right knows they can’t make credible economic arguments, so they’re waging an ideological war on progress or what they call “woke.” They shamelessly prey on people’s grievances and fears of change. They feed their supporters anger while they fatten their own pockets.
While the idea of democratizing access to AI models sounds great on paper, it has a lot of risks in the unregulated, pre-ethical AI governance environment we’re currently it
Extremists getting their hands on these sophisticated AI models can be dangerous
This is how Silicon Valley Bank collapsed, in a nutshell:
SVB over-invested in long-term mortgage-backed securities. As rates rose, value of those securities dropped—they sold at a $1.8B loss. SVB said it needed to raise $2.25B to offset the loss. Then VCs triggered a bank run…
Peter Thiel & other VCs told their portfolio companies to withdraw cash. SVB customers withdrew $42B by the end of Thursday. SVB went cash negative as it tried to cover the withdrawals. By Friday morning, regulators shut down SVB and FDIC said it would insure $250k of deposits…
The same VCs who attack the government began begging for a bailout for a bank run they helped cause.
By Monday, the Biden Admin guaranteed 100% of deposits, promised SVB accountability, and Biden said they did it without spending any taxpayer money. Companies could meet payroll.
Watch for yourself. In the same breath, Kanye West praises Hitler and attacks Jews.
Kanye West is blaming the entire Jewish community for his bad business deals. That’s what’s happening. He is echoing centuries-old antisemitic tropes, straight up praising murderous Hitler, and targeting millions of people all because he’s unhappy with his contracts. Just sick.
This is rock bottom for Kanye West. There is no coming back from this
This is a massive deal. Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the Oath Keepers, is guilty of seditious conspiracy. The Oath Keepers coordinated with Trump advisor Roger Stone ahead of January 6
The fact a jury convicted on seditious conspiracy charges is remarkable. This isn’t a guilty plea like the Proud Boys. A jury found seditious conspiracy charges to be viable in relation to January 6. This could have massive ramifications for how the DOJ approaches future J6 cases
To put it more simply: The chances the DOJ charges people higher up in the January 6 plot with seditious conspiracy just went up
