Trump is the biggest cult leader there is- He has altered American reality.
Through him reality has changed, for most the world.
Trump has taken an interest in cults and conspiracies, since he entered his first political race.
Trump heard that he could grift money through campaign fund raising, and write-offs were
available. The KGB needed kompromat, and Trump needed money. Trump married a Soviet
Union girl in 1977- Ivana Zelnickova, a twenty-eight-year-old model from Czechoslovakia.
Ivanka's mom.
As Trump tells it, the idea for his first trip to Moscow came after he found himself seated
next to the Soviet ambassador Yuri Dubinin. This was in autumn 1986.
Over in the communist German Democratic Republic, one of Kryuchkov’s 34-year-old
officers—one Vladimir Putin—was busy trying to recruit students from Latin America.
Putin arrived in Dresden in August 1985, together with his pregnant wife, Lyudmila,
and one-year-old daughter, Maria. They lived in a KGB apartment block.
On July 4, 1987, Trump flew to Moscow for the first time, together with Ivana and Lisa
Calandra, Ivana’s Italian-American assistant.

Happy News in Trump's Alternate Universe!
Trump won 50 states, in the 2020 election.
The Three Fates gaze at the simple and odd creatures, that might believe that Trump really won.
Of course, the fact is, that this claim of winning the election a lie, but that is not the point.
The mystery is why Trump's Alternate Universe did not steal the 2020 election.
Screaming that "the Democrats have stolen the 2020 election." is so much more useful.

that she has overwhelming proof of voter fraud. (Democrats took a look at the last
bulk delivery of blank paper, in the form of an enormous book- not the plans they
claimed, inside it.) 234 pages' worth of sworn (and signed!) affidavits about fraud
in Wayne County MI (Detroit), she claimed.

GOP celebrates Trump loss by manipulating the recount so Georgia taxpayers pay
November 11, 2020
Georgia’s Secretary of State announced the state would conduct a ‘by-hand’ recount
of Georgia’s 2020 election at state expense because Donald Trump lost the vote.
The first question to ask is whether Brad Raffensperger would have made the same
unilateral call for a recount before certification had President-Elect Joe Biden been
losing by even 1000 votes?
First, the way this whole thing works is that the state, using paper-backup ballots,
would first certify the vote opening it up to a possible recount (by the losing party
at the losing party’s expense) if the difference in the vote is less than 0.5 percent.
What Brad Raffensperger did was pre-empt that established process — the process
he would have used had the winner been Trump — and simply declare the two-million
dollar recount on the taxpayer’s tab. Under the established process and with the
understanding that it would be statistically highly unrealistic that a 14,000 vote
margin would be reversed — You know, once in a million years.
Given that understanding and ESPECIALLY WITH NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER
of any voter fraud that couldn’t possibly impact more than fifteen or twenty votes out
of five million state-wide, Brad Raffensperger decided to spend millions of taxpayer
dollars to conduct a recount that
SHOULD BE PAID BY THE COMPLAINING CAMPAIGN.

He's also stupid for pissing off those three letter government organizations.
Election officials in dozens of states from both parties told The New York Times
that there was no evidence of voting fraud, amounting to a forceful rebuke of
President Trump’s false narrative.

No fraud at all. But a million dollar offer, for a witness of voter fraud-by a Texan.

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee tweeted late Tuesday
that the “whistleblower completely RECANTED.”
Hopkins did not respond to messages from The Washington Post seeking comment
through his social media accounts, family members, and phone messages earlier
this week. But in a YouTube video he posted Tuesday night, he denied recanting.
''I’m here to say I did not recant my statements. That did not happen,'' he said.
https://www.phillytrib.com/news/sta...cle_1c4c4c2c-cd88-5b68-b6b0-27471cc6262b.html
The statement is in direct contrast to what what the USPS inspector general told the House
Oversight Committee. Democrats said the "whistleblower completely recanted his
allegations of a supervisor tampering with mail-in ballots after being questioned
by investigators," in a series of tweets (link).
Signing a false affidavit and lying to federal investigators are both crimes, seemingly
putting Hopkins in a difficult legal position. "Only sensible thing for [Hopkins] is to
[keep quiet], lawyer up and get the lawyer to do some disaster mitigation," federal
criminal defense attorney Ken White said on Twitter (link). "Project Veritas' goals/
interests are VERY adverse" to those of Hopkins, he added, referring to the right-
wing group known for disseminating doctored videos and other misinformation,
which initially brought Hopkins's allegations to light.

The team that made a film and accusations against Planned Parenthood, that were not true.
The team went to jail, after court hearings. The leader went to jail, on a later crime.
He's back.
After whistleblower Richard Hopkins came forward, a GoFundMe was launched for him
which raised over $115,000 before being taken down by the site. Hopkins has since
recanted his statements—although James O’Keefe, the founder of Project Veritas,
is disputing reporting that Hopkins recanted.
The story also fits another pattern for the organization, which is that just about
every whistleblower who comes to the organization simultaneously winds up
with tens of thousands of dollars on GoFundMe.
The latest blow to O’Keefe’s sting operations on Democrats came Tuesday as his
Pennsylvania USPS worker turned “whistleblower” Richard Hopkins recanted
his voter fraud charges to a USPS inspector general.

When shit got real and it came to lying to investigators from the U.S. Postal Service's
Office of Inspector General, Hopkins got cold feet. Officials told both The Washington
Post and the House Oversight Committee that he recanted in a signed affidavit, saying
that he had lied. And then in a video tweeted out by O'Keefe, Hopkins recanted his
recanting. Which probably had more to do with trying to preserve the $136,000 he'd
raised on a GoFundMe page by Tuesday evening. If so, it was in vain. GoFundMe’s
Bobby Whitmore told the Post the money raised on the site was "not disbursed and
Hopkins never had access to the funds." O'Keefe is undaunted, as usual, and says that
he's got recordings of the investigators coercing Hopkins and pressuring him to sign
a document he didn't understand. Which seems pretty farfetched—the guy had to
understand what "I lied before" means.

PA's Lt Governor Claims $1M Reward From Texas' Lt Gov
For 'Proof' Of Voter Fraud

John Fetterman.

BRADDOCK (KDKA) –
As ballots across the country continue to be counted, Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said
he’s offering a $1 million reward for evidence of voter fraud.
Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman took up the Texas lieutenant governor’s offer
on Twitter.
However, he didn’t want the reward in cash.
“Hey, Governor Patrick- it’s your counterpart in Pennsylvania,” Fetterman tweeted.
"I’d like to collect your handsome reward for reporting voter fraud."
"I got a dude in Forty Fort, PA who tried to have his dead mom vote for Trump.”
Rather than take the cash reward, Fetterman requested the reward be in Sheetz gift cards.
While the tweet was lighthearted, it was not without evidence.

The Lieutenant Governor of Texas is looking for cases of voter fraud.
The Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania advised him to look in Luzerne County.
“I got a dude in Forty Fort, PA who tried to have his dead mom vote for Trump,”
Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman tweeted Tuesday evening in response
to an appeal from Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.
Patrick, a Republican, announced Tuesday that he will pay up to $1 million
from his campaign funds as a reward for people who come forward to report
voter fraud in connection with the 2020 presidential election.
Anyone who provides information that leads to an arrest and conviction
will be paid at least $25,000, Patrick said in a news release.
Democrat Fetterman was happy to oblige.
His tweet referenced the case of Robert Richard Lynn, 67, a Forty Fort man who
was charged last month with forging the name of his deceased mother on an
application for an absentee ballot that was sent to the Luzerne County Board
of Elections in September.
Records show that Lynn is a Republican, although there was no indication of how
he intended to vote, merely that he allegedly sought a ballot signing the name of
his mother, Marie P. Hannigan, who died in 2015.
State election chief Kathy Boockvar, during a press conference last Thursday evening
confirmed that there has only been a single documented case of voter fraud in
Pennsylvania during the 2020 election, namely the allegations against Lynn.
“I’d like to collect your handsome reward for reporting voter fraud,” Fetterman tweeted
in response to Patrick’s appeal.

A Trump win? Pa. court says Commonwealth Secretary Boockvar
lacked authority to extend ballot deadline
President Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt ruled that no ballots unverified after Nov. 9
may be counted.
November 12, 2020
- Matt Miller
Pennsylvania election officials cannot count mail-in ballots that were not verified by Nov. 9,
regardless of an instruction given to them by Commonwealth Secretary Kathy Boockvar,
a Commonwealth Court judge ruled Thursday.
The decision by President Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt voids a Nov. 1 directive Boockvar
issued to election officials in all 67 counties. In that directive Boockvar said those officials
had until Nov. 12 to verify the identities of the voters who cast mail-in ballots.
In a petition filed with the court last week, President Donald Trump’s campaign
challenged Boockvar’s directive, insisting that election laws barred the counting
of any ballots which had not received identification verification by Nov. 9.
Leavitt agreed.
She found that Boockvar “lacked statutory authority” to extend a deadline that is set
in the state Election Code.
Ballots not verified by Nov. 9 have been segregated and not counted under a
temporary injunction Leavitt’s court issued last week.
Her decision could be appealed to the state Supreme Court.

There is no proof that people stole maiden names to vote.

Facebook did not immediately have a comment.
Prominent conservatives have already falsely asserted that maiden name voter fraud
happened nationwide. Ali Alexander, a Republican operative who previously went
by the name Ali Akbar, promoted the conspiracy Monday evening on Periscope,
where people stream live broadcasts, gathering 41,000 viewers.
“We need some help. There is an investigative journalist hashtag being used,
called #MaidenGate,” Alexander said.
He went on to repeat the original tweet’s baseless claim and, without showing any proof,
said he had seen at least two more examples of this type of voter fraud.
“We want every woman checking this,” he said.
On Tuesday afternoon, Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., also tweeted about the hashtag.
“Ladies,” he wrote, “if you changed your name and moved locations in the last couple
years you might want to see if ‘you’ voted somewhere else. #MaidenGate.”

Election security officials have no evidence that ballots were deleted or lost by voting
systems in this month's U.S. election, two security groups said in a statement released
on Thursday by the lead U.S. cybersecurity agency.
"There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes,
or was in any way compromised," the groups said about the Nov. 3 election won
by Joe Biden, a Democrat.
Republican President Donald Trump has repeatedly made unsubstantiated claims
of electoral fraud and has yet to concede.
The groups, the Election Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council Executive
Committee (GCC) and the Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Council (SCC),
said the election was the most secure in U.S. history.

look to keep Democrats from seizing control of the Senate under President-
elect Joe Biden’s administration.
The Republican National Committee said Friday it is funding more than 600
staffers in the state with an investment of at least $20 million ahead of the
Jan. 5 runoffs for the seats held by GOP Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue.

The Evil Twin of America retains the operatives that enable Presiderp Trum-Trup
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sen. Thom Tillis
Sen. Lindsey Graham
Sen. Ron Johnson
Several R.N.C. members echoed Mr. Trump's fraud claims on Thursday.
This is no conventional coup. Trump is paving the way for a 'virtual Confederacy'
The Guardian
Since 2018, Georgia Democrats and aligned groups, including Abrams’ Fair Fight, have
registered hundreds of thousands of new voters. A Fair Fight spokesman said Thursday
that it will, by the end of this week, have texted 2 million Democratic-leaning voters
about the runoffs.
“The fact is the votes are there for both sides,” said Chip Lake, a Republican consultant
who worked for U.S. Rep. Doug Collins in his unsuccessful bid for the runoff spot that
Loeffler claimed against Warnock. “It’s just a matter of who goes and gets them to vote
again.”
Debbie Dooley, a national tea party leader and early backer of Trump’s 2016 candidacy,
is leading a rally Friday at the Georgia Capitol to show support for the president’s
lingering legal challenges to the presidential election — a matter that she insists is
more important than the Senate runoffs. But “if Trump comes up short,” she said,
denying Biden a Democratic Senate becomes the “urgent” priority.
Trump, she said, can make it happen.
“Fear drives voters to the polls,” Dooley said. “Fear and anger. Donald Trump
can drive that. If he is defeated, he will not go anywhere. He will stay on the
scene. He will consolidate control, and he will become more powerful in the
party than people can possibly imagine.”

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, who was just reelected in South Carolina, said he’s
donating $1 million of his campaign money to help two GOP senators win runoff races
in neighboring Georgia.
Kelly Loeffler Buys Private Jet With Taxpayer Money
An individual cannot write-off purchases of a jet, only companies can.
And with her jet the ownership is vague at best, a shell company, TVPX Aircraft Solutions
seems to have been created for the sole purpose of getting Loeffler a jet on the taxpayer’s
dime.
Sen. Kelly Loeffler, a Georgia Republican now seeking to hold her seat in a crucial runoff
election, has been hopping between campaign stops in a multimillion-dollar private jet that
she and her husband bought soon after Gov. Brian Kemp appointed her to the Senate last
December.
Loeffler, a former asset management executive, may well now have joined the “frenzy”
of Wall Street money managers who leapt at a loophole in President Trump’s 2017 tax
bill that turns private jets into flying tax shelters.

Court blocks small number of ballots in Pennsylvania over ID
November 12, 2020
The court order affects a subset of about 10,000 ballots that arrived within
a three-day period after polls closed Nov. 3, a period allowed by the state
Supreme Court because of concerns over the pandemic and delays in the
U.S. Postal Service.
In Thursday’s order, Leavitt agreed with a challenge by the Trump campaign
and the Republican National Committee to guidance issued Nov. 1 by
Pennsylvania’s top election official, Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar,
a Democrat.
In that guidance, Boockvar advised counties to allow voters to provide the
necessary identification within nine days after the Nov. 3 election, or through
Thursday.
That three-day extension was strictly for voters whose ballots that had arrived
within a three-day grace period after Election Day allowed by the state Supreme
Court.
Leavitt, however, wrote that Boockvar lacked the authority to move back the
deadline to provide identification by three days.
The deadline applies to registered voters who applied through the mail or in person
for a mail-in or absentee ballot, but did not at the time verify their identity by providing
a driver’s license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number.

A judge in Montgomery County, in suburban Philadelphia, this week repeatedly
questioned a lawyer representing the Trump campaign and the Republican National
Committee in contesting 592 ballots about allegations of irregularities or “deficiencies,”
as stated in the legal filing.
“Are you claiming that there is any fraud in connection with these 592 votes?”
the judge asked, according to a partial transcript posted online by Philadelphia
Magazine.
“To my knowledge at present, no,” replied attorney Jonathan Goldstein
of Hatfield, Montogemery County.

Trump's War Against Democracy included sending the aides of his minions
and cronies to interrupt, distract, and bully the certified people doing the job
of ballot counting. (That was not grassroots protesting- it was Astroturf politics)
They stormed the counting offices on the premise that they were there, to observe
the counting.
Countering the charge, officials pointed out that the legal appointed observers
were present.
(un-vetted media outlets supporting Trump recorded film footage of the event. )
Republicans face election court setbacks, Trump law firm steps down
The legal blows began when a federal appeals court rejected an effort to block
about 9,300 mail-in ballots that arrived after Election Day in Pennsylvania.
The judges noted the “vast disruption” and “unprecedented challenges”
facing the nation during the COVID-19 pandemic as they upheld the
three-day extension.
Chief U.S. Circuit Judge D. Brooks Smith said the panel kept in mind
“a proposition indisputable in our democratic process: that the lawfully
cast vote of every citizen must count.”
The ruling involves a Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision to accept mail-in ballots
through Friday, Nov. 6, citing the pandemic and concerns about postal service delays.

‘The showdown of all showdowns’:
Control of the Senate hinges on Georgia’s wild runoff elections
- Jess Bidgood
- Victoria McGrane
November 14, 2020
Welcome to Georgia, where the political circus that has defined so much of this year
has descended for one last gasp, a battle royale in which the only thing both sides
agree on is that nothing less than the fate of the republic is at stake.
On Nov. 3, voters deprived Trump of a second term and eroded Democrats’ House
majority, but they left control of the Senate up to the people of this state.
The Georgia Senate races are unfolding in parallel political universes.
In one, Biden defeated Trump fair and square —
as top election officials in every state and homeland security officials say is true.
In the other, Trump’s unfounded claims about election fraud have taken hold,
stoked by top Republicans and the GOP Senate candidates themselves, who
believe the anger among his base will help their cause in the runoff elections.
“Apathy is what the Republicans rely on,” observed Ruth Carpenter, 71, at Ossoff’s event
in Columbus “And people say, ‘My votes don’t count.’ Now you see your vote counts.”
