If the Arizona GOP’s 2020 election “audit” was a sham, the Wisconsin GOP’s sham “audit” is a three-ring circus. Its star performer is Michael Gableman (bio here), a GOP political operative who served a single tumultuous term on Wisconsin’s supreme court. Gab[...]

“Stop the count!” was an attack on your rights
When Trump took an early lead on election eve, 2020, his supporters noisily demanded that vote counting stop (see video below). Later, they tried to spin the counting of everyone’s votes as “cheating.” That’s right, they argued that because your vote was counted too, the el[...]

More proof Fox is a propaganda, not a news, network
Veteran journalist Chris Stirewalt (bio here) “was working Fox News’ decision desk on Election Night 2020,” and called Arizona for Biden, before any other network. That incensed Trump and his allies, and Fox fired him for it. “Stirewalt’s reporting was totally accurate,” [...]

The guns of November
In early November 2020, Joshua Macias (photo, left) traveled from Virginia to Philadelphia where he and a confederate were arrested outside a building where votes were being counted (details here). “Police recovered handguns, an AR-15-style rifle, 160 rounds of ammo, a lock-picking kit and a s[...]
Where “Liz Cheney” is a swear word
Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) is the rioter in the video below. Now he wants to be “Sen. Mo Brooks (R-AL).” But first, he has to win a primary election. Meanwhile, Trump has endorsed his opponent, Katie Britt (“does this mean we’re not friends anymore?”). It was only last year[...]

Rudy Giuliani (photo, left), whose New York license to practice law is already suspended, now faces similar action by the D.C. bar, CNN reported on Thursday, June 10, 2022 (read story here).

Ginni Thomas’ selfie
“Never before in our nation’s history have our elections been so threatened by fraud and unconstitutional procedures,” Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas, wrote in a Dec. 13, 2020, email. She was right about that, but was talking about Trump and herself, although you&#[...]
Suddenly, Trump’s fake electors scheme looks very criminal
Biden won Georgia in 2020, and was entitled to its 16 electoral votes, but the Trump campaign had other plans. A Trump campaign operative in that state assembled a group of unelected “alternate” electors, arranged for them to meet at the statehouse on December 14, 2020, and issued them t[...]

Peter Navarro’s “buy my book” defense
Peter Navarro (profile here), a former Trump adviser involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election, was arrested Friday for contempt of Congress. Ex-Trump fixer Michael Cohen, who ought to know, thinks he’ll go to prison. Navarro, who’s not a lawyer, plans to represent himself. On Sa[...]
The Hunter Biden laptop trail
The purported Hunter Biden laptop, and at least some of the salacious material on it, apparently are authentic, Mother Jones says (in a story here). But the Chinese connection alleged by Trump backers is fake. “The effort to publicize compromising emails, images, and videos from the device in[...]
