Trump CAUGHT ON TAPE Trying to Rig: "Find 11,780 Votes"
Donald Trump has been caught on an audio recording of a phone call pressuring the Georgia Republican Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, to "recalculate" the presidential election results and "find 11,780" Trump votes. The Washington Post obtained the recording and it’s not immediately clear who taped it, but it was presumably done by Raffensperger and/or his legal team. The call was an hour-long and took place on Saturday, January 2nd. White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and Raffensperger’s counsel were also on the call.
Throughout the entire exchange, Trump sounded like a mob boss pressuring a subordinate to do something without explicitly saying how. It was strongly implied that Trump wanted Raffensperger to fabricate vote counts or discount certain ballots as a way to make up the necessary amount to close the gap. Some legal experts allege that Trump committed serious election crimes based on what he said in the call. At the very least, this could be a “high crime and misdemeanor” that would warrant impeachment. With only two weeks left in his term, impeachment is a very unlikely outcome, but there’s no doubt that this is a scandal that stands out and Trump should face consequences for it.
THEY'RE DOING IT: Republicans to Try Stealing Election for Trump
This is going to be a huge week in American politics, because the Georgia Senate runoff elections are on Tuesday and Congress will certify Joe Biden’s presidential election win on Wednesday. Regardless of the outcome in Georgia, numerous Republicans in the House and Senate will be ready to challenge the vote counts. When it’s time for the swing state electoral votes to be counted, members will object causing a two-hour debate period. After that, the entire House and Senate will vote on whether to throw out the votes of the state in question. What is normally just a procedural matter will be watched by the entire world and the process could go on for hours and hours. We already know that neither chamber will vote to throw out the votes of any state and Mike Pence, who oversees the process, will be forced to certify Biden’s victory.
Right now it's expected that there will be eleven Republican senators who will claim that irregularities are the justification for their objections, and they will ask for an emergency ten-day audit to investigate. Their ask doesn’t make any sense at all because Trump’s voter fraud claims have been litigated dozens of times by courts across the country and they have failed over and over again. What they really want to do is force a contingent election in Congress that Trump could conceivably win. The plan has no chance of actually succeeding, but at least it will get these Republicans on record as the undemocratic and traitorous people that they are.

Trumpists TRIGGERED, Demand Dr. Jill Biden Not Be Called "Doctor"
The incoming First Lady of the United States, Jill Biden, has been getting criticized in right-wing circles for using the title “doctor.” Jill Biden is not a medical doctor but has a doctorate in education. A conservative writer named Joseph Epstein decided to complain about this in a column he wrote for the Wall Street Journal last month. Epstein argued that only medical doctors should get to call themselves “doctors.” While plenty of people agree with that position, it’s odd that Jill Biden is the person the right chose to focus the issue on. Not to mention that no one takes issue with saying “Dr. Martin Luther King” or using the prefix for any other notable figures. After four years of Trump scandals, conservatives sound absolutely ridiculous trying to argue this point.

Why hasn’t our psychotic president not been charged, tried and convicted of negligent genocide against his own people? He’s known since early January about the COVID-19 crisis yet chose to keep it quiet because he didn’t want the market to tank. On top of that he has done everything he can to play down the seriousness of the COVID-19 crisis. And to scoff at mask wearing and physical distancing. What has that led to? It has led to the unnecessary deaths of who knows how many scores of thousands of American citizens due to COVID-19. Don’t tell me that those thousands of unnecessary deaths don’t matter and our psychotic president shouldn’t be held accountable for this negligent genocide. Nobody’s talking about it that I know of. It’s a huge elephant in the room and no one in the media has even suggested holding President Psychosis accountable for the deaths of thousands because bunker baby doesn’t care about the lives of anybody except his own. Shame on the progressive media for not even throwing out this idea. They’ve had several months to do so yet they don’t seem to have no real moral compass. It’s just like “let’s see who can be the most progressive“. “Let’s see who can get the most subscribers.” “Let’s see which progressive pundits are the most wise.“ “Let’s see which progressive pundit can receive the most glory for their unbound wisdom.” “Progressive“ means to make progress in the fight against corruption like that of which Baby Donald has re-defined the word and the actions behind it. What a joke. Trump should be tried in The Hague for genocide. That would be “progress“.
