Yeah, it wasn't Trump who refused to leave office, it was Obama... and the entire Left/media/academic apparatus has been lying about/covering up that fact ever since.
Scary thing: how many people are still falling for this con...
Two things we have to fix, the election process, and “the press / media”. If elections aren’t fair and transparent, and the news is dishonest and partisan, our country will never become what it can be. Neither will we.
The media is "fixing" itself. Traditional media are at record lows for credibility with the public, and, aside from CBS, show no signs that they've learned their lesson. Fortunately, this has allowed new media to fill the gap and break their monopoly on information.
Si I guess I could take your statement to the reverse a nd say it is only the Democratic part that claims fairness, and then riots, burn down cities, destroy all historic statues they can find. Also create violent Antifa attacks throughout the country. Which party seems to accept the loss better?
Yes they do .. but only because every Democrat who is not a fun-policing, uptight asshole has already shed the label. The upside is that post-Trump, the now too big Republican tent will split into two sane Parties.
pretty much. the hatred that was screamed out of car windows during my one woman pro president trump stand out was chilling! not to mention being threatened on the town facebook page!
Yes, Obama attended Trump's inauguration, but this was only after he demanded that his intel people invent a Trump as Putin stooge lie.. But that Obama always was a cynical bastard...still is...
Wasn't trump at the time doing a good enough job of loving on Russia (especially the leggy ladies) and Putin that Obama wouldn't really have felt the need to do that? Just recalling a few of the more obvious points back in the day...
Yeah, it wasn't Barry's deal to hang with hookers, he was more into the gay bathhouse scene... ask Larry Sinclair about that, you know, how Obama liked swapping gay sex for drugs. But maybe you didn't know these things.
Only since they started working for the White House, but I'm confident they don't agree with Trump on every issue. Manchin is hardly a coward and so what if he's a big coal guy. W. Virginia is a big coal state.
Projection at work. Cults are the ones who eject members for asking questions .. MAGA, if it has any coherent organizing theory at all, is that it supports and is composed of those who ask questions, but whose questions were deemed not worthy of the polite society's of either Party to lower themselves to even acknowledge, much less respond to. (Indeed even taking a question seriously .. eg a NYT's editor allowing Tom Cotton to publish a questioning of the taboo against calling up the National Guard to protect shop-owners during riots .. led to his immediate dismissal. Tom Cotton was wrong. But every intelligent Democrat knew it was wronger to punish editors who refused to silence him. The Democrat Party is now much smaller (and imho less intelligent, and not only because I am no longer part of it.
Most "MAGAs" I know (I split my time between Portland OR and Austin TX) were Democrats for most of their lives .. as were many I do not know: eg the entire cabinet (sans Marco Rubio) of the current administration ... led incidentally by a life-long Democrat fundraiser who got Hillary Clinton over the line in her bid for New York Senate.
“So much so that they’ve inadvertently manifested a Boy Who Cried Wolf scenario for themselves, which is why they’re so dangerous now. They are willing to do and say anything to win a war they’ve already lost.”
I likened it to cutting of the head of a huge snake: writhing uncontrollably as it destroys till it is dead.
Or a chicken: running frantically without sight or thought till it bleeds out and falls over.
No, no....'fortifying' elections is what 'democracy' is all about! Its just simply a no‐brainer that in order to have free and fair elections, the outcomes must be pre-selected, then fortified. Ffs...
Don’t pin too much hope on Bari Weiss. The Free Press was infested with a bunch of leftists maga mockers and she didn’t much correct that as much as promote it. The Free Press missed a lot of stories. I don’t know if they still miss a lot but I bet they do.
I agree…dumped Ms. Weiss and The Free Press a few years ago. She just wasn’t ’doing it for me’. Once a NYT alumnus, you can’t shake the stench (and the mindset) of that former association. There’s that undercurrent of the NYT psyche that prevails.
Axios is indeed the most honest leftist media. Their take on events is rarely one I agree with but they do cover issues that others just bury. Non-coverage is the deadliest form of media bias. You can compensate for viewpoint bias but you can't correct for silence other than with alt.media.
The hardest part about woke SNL and Hollywood is all the easy low lying comedic material they ignored. Joe Biden? Adam Schiff? Nancy Pelosi? Just think, while Trump wasn't even president, South Park avoided Joe Biden falling off an unmoving bike to go after Trump.
I do think Hollywood will come around, once more and more unwoke content comes out. It just needs to be really good.... TOP GUN was a start :)
Like it or not, the fact is that we are in a fight to the death between good & evil. Not that either side is blameless, but the facts of the utter depravity of the left cannot be overlooked. The truth means nothing to these people, and obfuscation, prevarication & blatant lies are characteristic. The devil is the father of lies, and si many of these people are of the devil. No one hates like the left too. They don't seem to understand love. Too wrecked by lust perhaps. Thank God that good has prevailed in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and that eternally there will be a new heaven and new earth, wherein righteousness dwells. In the meantime we are to keep the faith & fight the good fight. Sasha is proof that eyes can be opened; may myriads make the transfer from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God!
However much one hates the MSM media, it is not enough. They are fast becoming doomed and will be despised and dammed for the rest of their miserable existence for what they have done to President Trump, his family, his followers and America the last ten years.
And for you sods who try to defend them, this pronouncement is upon you and yours, as well.
As Scott Adams has argued repeatedly, if one hears a narrative three times from someone trusted, almost everyone will believe the narrative. The avalanche of leftist hoaxes, over the past ten years, has been drilled into the minds of everyone who still trusts legacy media, dozens of times every single day.
All of their political enemies have been dehumanized and targeted for cancellation: Trump, Vance, Musk, Clarence Thomas, SCOTUS, JK Rowling, Dave Chappelle, the Tate brothers, Joe Rogan, hundreds of thousands of peaceful 1/6 protesters (most of whom were not even in DC on 1/6), millions of "domestic terrorists" and "white supremacists" who were never proven guilty of any crime or malice, etc. ad nauseam.
The primary claim was not that the election was stolen. President Trump, and most of the other prominent Republicans, claimed repeatedly that the election was rigged. Now, I admit that the right failed to prove the election results were illegally changed to make Biden the winner. The left never even tried to prove that the election was "the most fair of all time."
Everything that Sasha Stone mentions in this article, I consider a form of rigging. That includes censoring a sitting president of the US who was trying to make an argument for closer scrutiny of the votes. That includes Social media censorship and blocks for conservatives throughout the election. That includes a rammed through mail-in ballot system that was designed to be hackable and unverifiable. I consider all of that election rigging. Jailing peaceful 1/6 protesters, torturing them in solitary, and hodling them for months to years without a trial date was another fascist abuse by leftists.
So, strike one. Any other right wing hoaxes you want to trot out? I can think of a couple. Can you? If you can prove one Trump lie ever, I will apologize and erase this message. Please, give it a whirl. Proving any crime of intent is difficult.
Trump famously called it a stollen election (aka a german fruitcake election) in writing on Truth Social or maybe it was twitter before he was banned, so he not only claimed it, but he did it in such a way as to engender world wide press at the absurdity of it all, again.
And as for rigging elections, it seems that making the act of voting both secure and accessible is not something that benefits Republicans. Also, fairweather friends. If it benefits Republicans (fake electorates) good, if it doesn't bad and rigged. We've become such babies. So juvenile.
Oh. You still think the legacy media publishes news or facts. That's cute.
It seems to who? Hillary still claims she won in 2016. She ordered Biden to never concede. They structured a military occupation of DC for months after 1/6 and investigated nearly 1,000,000 people. Fear tactic?
The leftists are already claiming that any Republican victories in the future will not be democratic elections. Still, the leftists do not feel the need to wear bullet proof vests or stop dehumanizing political opponents until brainwashed lunatics try to kill targeted non-left figures.
Make an argument and I will help you find a refutation.
"Order transition of power?" Who did they order? With what authority? The autopen order? They verbally conceded and then claimed that the election was stolen by Russian collusion or Biden's drooling senility. Trump, in no way challenged or paused the transition of power. That is a fact. They only verbally conceded, once, is a fact. Where are your facts again?
Right... Look at Trumps and many of his allies claims they outright say it. Sasha just outright hates every single aspect of the democrat party and openly said she will never vote Democrat and never wants them to have power as long as she lives.
They may have said it, but it was not their primary argument. Trump said the words "fine people." What did that prove?
Your opinion...on Trump's intent or on Sasha;s opinion, is not an argument. I notice you were unable/unwilling to respond to any of my points or answer any of my questions. Do you know the difference between an fact and an opinion? Can you make a causal argument? Hint: smears are not an argument.
Thats the problem both democrats and republicans use opinion as fact when they describe their foes and you have been unable to respond my points as well tell me how wrong I am.
Your points? You have made no causal arguments or claims. I believe that your opinions seem uninformed/oddly identical to the opinions of, say, Rochelle Maddow. Is that what you want?
Make an argument and I will help you find flaws with your argument.
I have refuted your smears with facts. You don't believe my facts, but please find evidence that anything I said is inaccurate. I would love to see it. The opinion of a 'fact checker" is almost never a data point. Fact. See how that works?
You have hit the nail on the head. Far left and rightists are the flip side of the same coin. Both sides think the other side is ridiculous and can hardly believe the other side can't see their side. Social media's done a number.
Can you provide an example of the right, near or far, that has done anything close to subpoenaing 436 people, businesses, and other entities, including 9 sitting United States Senators all in an effort to interfere and tamper with an election?
Have Republicans tried to indict, bankrupt, and imprison any political opponents? Or remove their name from election ballots?
The evil road of our political landscape runs only one way, my friend...one way!
Trump saw the writing on the wall as early as early as April 2020 thanks to polling #s at which time he enacted a rather juvenile plot to undermine confidence in mail in voting, naturally the method used more frequently by those voting D.
April 2020, he called mail‑in ballots “horrible” and “corrupt”, saying things like “you get thousands and thousands of people sitting in somebody’s living room, signing ballots all over the place.”
May 26 2020, Twitter placed fact‑check warnings on his posts where he alleged mail‑in ballots would be “substantially fraudulent” and a “Rigged Election.”
July 30 2020, he tweeted:
“With Universal Mail‑In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. … Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???”
Postmaster General DeJoy instituted changes after his appointment in June 2020 that included cutting overtime, eliminating some extra delivery trips, and removing or decommissioning certain mail‑sorting machines.
Mail‑service performance declined in late September/October 2020. For example, first‑class mail in some areas took longer than previously, just as many ballots were being returned by mail.
Some drop‑boxes and mail‑collection boxes were removed or emptied less frequently in certain locales ahead of the election period.
Various state and local election officials warned that these operational changes risked disenfranchising voters by causing mail‑in ballots to arrive after deadlines.
And once it was clear Trump lost, he said he won prior to mail in votes being tallied. Then J6th, then calling swing state AGs, then fake electorates, and always a rather large and evolving colorful bunch of nutjobs doing the press rounds (Sidney Poewll, Rudy, Mike Lindell, Jenna Ellis, Lin Wood, Steve Bannon, Peter Naarro, Mark Meadows, Maria Bartiromo, Lou Dobbs, Jeanine Pirro, Partick Byrne, Michale Flynn, Roger Stone, Ali Alexander - many of these naturally lost credibility or professional standing, but till pop up from time to time in right‑wing media spaces) and 24/7 rants about the stolen election.
So just a wild guess here, but that might be why subpoenaing 436 people, businesses, and other entities, including 9 sitting United States Senators were done in an effort to hold those responsible who interfered and tampered with the election.
I get excited every time I see an email from you, Sasha. You really keep me in the loop and I love hearing your point of view as a former liberal. Your eyes are so open and you see the things we all miss. Thank you!!
It is the people behind the media which should be the real target. Who are the individuals telling/paying the News Media what to say and even more importantly what not to say.
A comment from a Substack piece from a couple of days ago that I find particularly enlightening. 🤔🇺🇸
“Once you leave Never-Never Land and examine the duplicitous function of both of the phony Red/Blue Congressional Teams (who are installed by competing squads of billionaires that march lockstep on all issues of importance) in the American political system you will see the US for what it is -- a One-Party state ruled by a narrow alliance of business interests. Both parties'true function is largely theatrical.
Neither Party is the "lesser evil;" they are auxiliary subdivisions of the same evil.
The two parties play an indispensable role in society's political machinery. This doesn't mean they have any real power, in terms of controlling the state or setting policy. It means that without the existence of the Two Party System, the US could no longer maintain the pretense that it's a "democracy."
To understand the political system, one must step back and regard its operation as an integrated whole. The system can't be properly understood if one's study of it begins with an uncritical acceptance of the 2-party system, and the conventional characterizations of the two parties.
Thus the whole magic of The Two Party Show -- the essential service it renders to the US power structure -- lies not in what they do, but in their mere existence: by simply existing, and doing nothing other than serving their corporate masters, they pretend to be something they are not; and this is enough to relieve despair and to let the system portray itself as a "democracy."
As long as the two parties exist, most Americans will believe we have a "democracy" and a "choice" in how we are ruled. They will not despair, and will not revolt, as long as they have this hope for "change within the system."
From the system's point of view, this mechanism serves as the ultimate safety valve -- it insures against a despairing populace, thus eliminates the threat of rebellion; yet guarantees that no serious change to the system will be mounted.
Any given piece of reactionary legislation is invariably supported by a higher percentage of Republicans during one term or by Democrats the next. Does this show that one or the other is the "lesser evil?" If one focuses on the noble efforts of a few outspoken dissenters, it's easy to feel that on any given issue one party is somewhat less evil. But in the larger picture, Party D invariably submits to what Party R more ardently promulgates until the next issue where the script gets flipped.
Thus the overall function of the system is not to fight for everyday people, but to trick the political consumers into participating in this totalitarian process.
Just as the Harlem Globetrotters need their Washington Generals to make their basketball games properly entertaining, Republicans and Democrats need each other for effective staging of the political show.”
Follow the money both see power and money in being elected and if you cant see that your either misinformed or a partisan fanboy similar to Videogame console war fanboys.
Hola HL3…another delusional comment that means next to NADA. Is that what YOU are a “Videogame console war fanboy”? I don’t think you even read the comment. 🤔😱😵💫
Know nothing as what a “fan boy” means nor ‘console wars”. Just from the mere definitions of the what those words mean,I doubt that few of us here are “fan boys” nor de we engage in “console wars”.🤔🤡
Please explain the definition of a “console fanboy”? Yo no sabe. And what does this have to do with this comment? I fail to see the ‘connection’ here. 🤔😵💫🤓

The remarkable part of this is that there are zero reporters, editors, or producers of integrity in these outfits. Not a damn one. All captured psychologically and morally. All cowards and cravens.
Yeah, it wasn't Trump who refused to leave office, it was Obama... and the entire Left/media/academic apparatus has been lying about/covering up that fact ever since.

Sadly “fair and transparent” elections can’t even come close to ‘fixin all the s**t’ that is broken now in The USA. Wishful thinking. 🤔😏
I am guessing its only fair and transparent when the GOP wins and only GOP media gets to be partisan and dishonest right?
It's not the GOP that resents a photo id to cast a vote...........compost
They still scream of fraud see Wisconsin
Si I guess I could take your statement to the reverse a nd say it is only the Democratic part that claims fairness, and then riots, burn down cities, destroy all historic statues they can find. Also create violent Antifa attacks throughout the country. Which party seems to accept the loss better?
Yes there is some assholes in the democrat party but thats not the entire party and they dont represent the entire base like you want them to be.
Yes they do .. but only because every Democrat who is not a fun-policing, uptight asshole has already shed the label. The upside is that post-Trump, the now too big Republican tent will split into two sane Parties.
pretty much. the hatred that was screamed out of car windows during my one woman pro president trump stand out was chilling! not to mention being threatened on the town facebook page!
Don’t you ever tire of being wrong all the time?
To people like you democrat on wrong on every single issue unless they agree with GOP
Define Democrat.
Anybody who hasnt voted Trump AND changed their views since Trump
Absolutely RIGHT ✅️ , Sasha.
This is one of your BEST pieces. 👌🏼 ❤️
So Obama attending Trump's inauguration and Trump's fake elector plot was Obama refusing to leave ofice and Trump leaving office. Tha mi a’ faicinn.
Yes, Obama attended Trump's inauguration, but this was only after he demanded that his intel people invent a Trump as Putin stooge lie.. But that Obama always was a cynical bastard...still is...
Wasn't trump at the time doing a good enough job of loving on Russia (especially the leggy ladies) and Putin that Obama wouldn't really have felt the need to do that? Just recalling a few of the more obvious points back in the day...

you know thats been debunked so why keep saying it? aren't you being dishonest?
You are an uninformed fool who is not worth my time responding to.
Its just MAGA utter hate of anything democrat they have to be the heroes of the story and every single Democrat the villain.
Fetterman, Gabbard, Phillips, Manchin, and Kennedy are heroes. So, not every Democrat is a villain.
Gabbard and Kennedy is a full on republican on every issue and Manchin is a coward and big coal guy.
Only since they started working for the White House, but I'm confident they don't agree with Trump on every issue. Manchin is hardly a coward and so what if he's a big coal guy. W. Virginia is a big coal state.
Let hl3 freeze its butt in the cold and dark he wont heat
Gabbard switch hard before that
You are now just trolling.
Just reflecting anger
HL3, you know that most Clinton Democrats are now MAGA. I think you were born after the analog age ended.
Oh God, i would forego numbers to lose that voter
Because mainly they were conservative democrats
Oh what a retort
If its true why deny it?
It's Halloween......don't you have some children to 'look after'?
Well put. Every D now is a villain for watching yoyr brethren steal Our Constitution while you sit on your lame butts.
How are they stealing it cultist ?

they used to not since 2016
I think a baking blog would be better if not perhaps for the pocket book, surely for the peace of mind. such ribald hate rots the soul.

The old media has been organically replaced by gem's like this that vividly describes "The Rise of The Karen":
https://youtu.be/tAlEwyRfhEA?si=rcC7V2Lrs5L43u-e
Here's an English version of a "Karen" attacking an Orthodox priest - even scarier than the entitled house wife:
https://youtu.be/FupIi36uKss?si=eMJIMExTlI_cceYs
They had more in agreement (at one point, he said "...not that works gets you your salvation...." (paraphrased) than not, but SHE WASN'T LISTENING.
"The “Secret bipartisan campaign” in TIME Magazine lays out exactly how widespread this effort was to subvert American democracy. "
Reminds me a bit of this scene from The Big Short:
"I don't get it. Why are they confessing?"
"They're not confessing."
"They're bragging."'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c14vfq3jqpo
No, no....'fortifying' elections is what 'democracy' is all about! Its just simply a no‐brainer that in order to have free and fair elections, the outcomes must be pre-selected, then fortified. Ffs...
Ah, "fortification". Just what every democratic process needs. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
Fortification, no racist ID, limitless mail in ballots, and machines so secure that you can't even ask about them.
"Never let a good crisis go to waste."
Don’t pin too much hope on Bari Weiss. The Free Press was infested with a bunch of leftists maga mockers and she didn’t much correct that as much as promote it. The Free Press missed a lot of stories. I don’t know if they still miss a lot but I bet they do.
I agree…dumped Ms. Weiss and The Free Press a few years ago. She just wasn’t ’doing it for me’. Once a NYT alumnus, you can’t shake the stench (and the mindset) of that former association. There’s that undercurrent of the NYT psyche that prevails.
Same
Ditto
The usual blinders to inconvenient truths.
Totally, right on
In otherwords Media can only be worked by the right
Or we will certainly settle for truthtellers. Know what that is?
Truthtellers that only tell truth when it benefits Trump
Yup. Bari is a huge sellout. I wonder if Nellie still has her love obsession with Hillary.
The free press was never “free” (unbiased) news.
Now here comes Moderate Mamdani, pre-washed and pre-approved by Jon Stewart and the NYT.
Not pre-washed deep enough to get the stink of socialism-communism off of this slimy Muslim Marxist.
Thats just a 'brand', akin to AOC, et al. And a psuedo brand at that. He's just Bloomberg 2.0
No he’s a Marxist. He’s a Muslim. Not a brand.
Let's try not to be silly
Let’s not be blind
Except mamdman celebrates the murder of innocent NYers that even bloomberg would never do
And DNC, though they won't admit it
Imagine if the tables were turned – we'd never hear the end of it.
And yet the Violent Commie-Fascist Far-left continues with the laughable lie that the National Socialist media isn't under their tight control.
Axios is indeed the most honest leftist media. Their take on events is rarely one I agree with but they do cover issues that others just bury. Non-coverage is the deadliest form of media bias. You can compensate for viewpoint bias but you can't correct for silence other than with alt.media.

The leftists are already claiming that any Republican victories in the future will not be democratic elections. Still, the leftists do not feel the need to wear bullet proof vests or stop dehumanizing political opponents until brainwashed lunatics try to kill targeted non-left figures.
Make an argument and I will help you find a refutation.
Harris and Clinton did concede and order transition of power
"Order transition of power?" Who did they order? With what authority? The autopen order? They verbally conceded and then claimed that the election was stolen by Russian collusion or Biden's drooling senility. Trump, in no way challenged or paused the transition of power. That is a fact. They only verbally conceded, once, is a fact. Where are your facts again?
Right... Look at Trumps and many of his allies claims they outright say it. Sasha just outright hates every single aspect of the democrat party and openly said she will never vote Democrat and never wants them to have power as long as she lives.
They may have said it, but it was not their primary argument. Trump said the words "fine people." What did that prove?
Your opinion...on Trump's intent or on Sasha;s opinion, is not an argument. I notice you were unable/unwilling to respond to any of my points or answer any of my questions. Do you know the difference between an fact and an opinion? Can you make a causal argument? Hint: smears are not an argument.
Thats the problem both democrats and republicans use opinion as fact when they describe their foes and you have been unable to respond my points as well tell me how wrong I am.
Your points? You have made no causal arguments or claims. I believe that your opinions seem uninformed/oddly identical to the opinions of, say, Rochelle Maddow. Is that what you want?
Make an argument and I will help you find flaws with your argument.
I have refuted your smears with facts. You don't believe my facts, but please find evidence that anything I said is inaccurate. I would love to see it. The opinion of a 'fact checker" is almost never a data point. Fact. See how that works?
It's easier to do that when you're become obsessed enough to only see the hate.
Because thats all I see from the right and left describing their political foes.
You have hit the nail on the head. Far left and rightists are the flip side of the same coin. Both sides think the other side is ridiculous and can hardly believe the other side can't see their side. Social media's done a number.
Can you provide an example of the right, near or far, that has done anything close to subpoenaing 436 people, businesses, and other entities, including 9 sitting United States Senators all in an effort to interfere and tamper with an election?
Have Republicans tried to indict, bankrupt, and imprison any political opponents? Or remove their name from election ballots?
The evil road of our political landscape runs only one way, my friend...one way!
Trump saw the writing on the wall as early as early as April 2020 thanks to polling #s at which time he enacted a rather juvenile plot to undermine confidence in mail in voting, naturally the method used more frequently by those voting D.
April 2020, he called mail‑in ballots “horrible” and “corrupt”, saying things like “you get thousands and thousands of people sitting in somebody’s living room, signing ballots all over the place.”
May 26 2020, Twitter placed fact‑check warnings on his posts where he alleged mail‑in ballots would be “substantially fraudulent” and a “Rigged Election.”
July 30 2020, he tweeted:
“With Universal Mail‑In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. … Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???”
Postmaster General DeJoy instituted changes after his appointment in June 2020 that included cutting overtime, eliminating some extra delivery trips, and removing or decommissioning certain mail‑sorting machines.
Mail‑service performance declined in late September/October 2020. For example, first‑class mail in some areas took longer than previously, just as many ballots were being returned by mail.
Some drop‑boxes and mail‑collection boxes were removed or emptied less frequently in certain locales ahead of the election period.
Various state and local election officials warned that these operational changes risked disenfranchising voters by causing mail‑in ballots to arrive after deadlines.
And once it was clear Trump lost, he said he won prior to mail in votes being tallied. Then J6th, then calling swing state AGs, then fake electorates, and always a rather large and evolving colorful bunch of nutjobs doing the press rounds (Sidney Poewll, Rudy, Mike Lindell, Jenna Ellis, Lin Wood, Steve Bannon, Peter Naarro, Mark Meadows, Maria Bartiromo, Lou Dobbs, Jeanine Pirro, Partick Byrne, Michale Flynn, Roger Stone, Ali Alexander - many of these naturally lost credibility or professional standing, but till pop up from time to time in right‑wing media spaces) and 24/7 rants about the stolen election.
So just a wild guess here, but that might be why subpoenaing 436 people, businesses, and other entities, including 9 sitting United States Senators were done in an effort to hold those responsible who interfered and tampered with the election.
Another home run, Sasha!
I get excited every time I see an email from you, Sasha. You really keep me in the loop and I love hearing your point of view as a former liberal. Your eyes are so open and you see the things we all miss. Thank you!!
It is the people behind the media which should be the real target. Who are the individuals telling/paying the News Media what to say and even more importantly what not to say.
A comment from a Substack piece from a couple of days ago that I find particularly enlightening. 🤔🇺🇸
“Once you leave Never-Never Land and examine the duplicitous function of both of the phony Red/Blue Congressional Teams (who are installed by competing squads of billionaires that march lockstep on all issues of importance) in the American political system you will see the US for what it is -- a One-Party state ruled by a narrow alliance of business interests. Both parties'true function is largely theatrical.
Neither Party is the "lesser evil;" they are auxiliary subdivisions of the same evil.
The two parties play an indispensable role in society's political machinery. This doesn't mean they have any real power, in terms of controlling the state or setting policy. It means that without the existence of the Two Party System, the US could no longer maintain the pretense that it's a "democracy."
To understand the political system, one must step back and regard its operation as an integrated whole. The system can't be properly understood if one's study of it begins with an uncritical acceptance of the 2-party system, and the conventional characterizations of the two parties.
Thus the whole magic of The Two Party Show -- the essential service it renders to the US power structure -- lies not in what they do, but in their mere existence: by simply existing, and doing nothing other than serving their corporate masters, they pretend to be something they are not; and this is enough to relieve despair and to let the system portray itself as a "democracy."
As long as the two parties exist, most Americans will believe we have a "democracy" and a "choice" in how we are ruled. They will not despair, and will not revolt, as long as they have this hope for "change within the system."
From the system's point of view, this mechanism serves as the ultimate safety valve -- it insures against a despairing populace, thus eliminates the threat of rebellion; yet guarantees that no serious change to the system will be mounted.
Any given piece of reactionary legislation is invariably supported by a higher percentage of Republicans during one term or by Democrats the next. Does this show that one or the other is the "lesser evil?" If one focuses on the noble efforts of a few outspoken dissenters, it's easy to feel that on any given issue one party is somewhat less evil. But in the larger picture, Party D invariably submits to what Party R more ardently promulgates until the next issue where the script gets flipped.
Thus the overall function of the system is not to fight for everyday people, but to trick the political consumers into participating in this totalitarian process.
Just as the Harlem Globetrotters need their Washington Generals to make their basketball games properly entertaining, Republicans and Democrats need each other for effective staging of the political show.”
Follow the money both see power and money in being elected and if you cant see that your either misinformed or a partisan fanboy similar to Videogame console war fanboys.
Hola HL3…another delusional comment that means next to NADA. Is that what YOU are a “Videogame console war fanboy”? I don’t think you even read the comment. 🤔😱😵💫
I am making a apt comparison a lot of people who fanboy politics are heavily misinformed similar to console wars.
Know nothing as what a “fan boy” means nor ‘console wars”. Just from the mere definitions of the what those words mean,I doubt that few of us here are “fan boys” nor de we engage in “console wars”.🤔🤡
A lot of console fanboys are just are echo chamber and partisan as politics.
Please explain the definition of a “console fanboy”? Yo no sabe. And what does this have to do with this comment? I fail to see the ‘connection’ here. 🤔😵💫🤓

Does this include Mike the pillow guy and the search warrant they served him at a fast food drive through?
The remarkable part of this is that there are zero reporters, editors, or producers of integrity in these outfits. Not a damn one. All captured psychologically and morally. All cowards and cravens.
