    She did not. She did not go around before the first ballot was cast and persuade 75 million Americans that republicans stole the election.

    She did not do that, nor has any democrat in history done that.

    Now you are actually catching on! You accused me of being dishonest about something you knew nothing about. Then, when called out, you try to turn it back around. I've been reading your posts for quite a long time, and you are pretty reliable to come up with lame points and inflammatory comments.
    Good luck in life!

    Have we ever had "representatives" this crossways with the American People? Time to realign with "representatives" that are in line with We The People rather than this current set of clowns that are aligned with something else entirely.

    That's not a 'theory'. There is hard evidence, on tape and on paper, that that was the scheme being planned by Trump.
    The eastman memo;

    http://cdn.cnn.com/cnn/2021/images/09/20/eastman.memo.pdf

    Taped conversations of Trump talking to election officials:

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...68e0cc-4ddd-11eb-83e3-322644d82356_story.html

    Trump called state officials to persuade them to decertify their state's results, and install Trump's electors and toss out Biden's.

    Trump colluded with Congressional republicans to challenge the vote on 1/6, the overall objective of which, to tie up the certification process in the courts beyond the deadline in order to throw the election ot the house, where republicans have 26 votes, enough to win.

    https://www.npr.org/sections/insurr...s-who-objected-to-the-electoral-college-count

    In the face of such evidence, I don't see how any republican can deny what Trump's scheme was.

    The sources are talking to 1/6 committee, sources have been verified. That other news outlets are doing the story means that at least three sources have been confirmed and the story verified.

    Rolling Stone, although it choses stories for a liberal audience, the stories themselves, on the whole, are very good.

    In fact, RS has a 'high' rating on the factual meter, though the magazine is left biased. All that means is the the story selection is geared for a liberal audience, but the factual rating of those stories is high by MBFC.

    https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/rolling-stone/
    • Overall, we rate Rolling Stone Left Biased based on strongly left-leaning editorial positions and High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing of information and a reasonable fact check record.

    That is what clandestine secret police/spy agencies do. The thinking Left used to know that.

    "To quell dissent, the FBI's primary efforts inevitably interfered in the political process. The thrust of the FBI campaign against the Socialist Workers party was to subvert SWP's efforts to elect candidates to public office. In 1962, the New York office of the FBI compiled an arrest and conviction record on an SWP candidate for Manhattan borough president and supplied it to a reporter for the New York Daily News, who published it in a column. In 1963, the San Francisco office sent an anonymous letter to a black independent candidate for mayor of the city, attacking the SWP members active in his campaign and urging him to dissociate himself from them. In 1964, the Newark office distributed leaflets attacking a New Jersey SWP candidate for the U.S. Senate for alleged anti-black political stands on issues. In 1965, the Denver office sent an anonymous letter from a "concerned mother" to the Denver School Board in which the SWP affiliations and activities of a school board candidate were detailed. The purpose of the letter was "to prevent him from being elected to the School Board." When an SWP candidate was running for mayor in 1965, the New York field office sent an anonymous letter to various newspapers and television stations revealing that the candidate had previously appeared in court in Chicago for "non-support" of his family and that his marital status could be questioned. In 1969, the New York field office sent an anonymous letter to a black SWP candidate for mayor that purported to be from white members of the SWP and attacked him for being too militant on the race issue, in order to cause dissension and hurt his campaign."

    They don't pronounce their confirmations in the story, that is just a standard protocol.

    Biased sources are far more credible when they report against their bias. Rolling Stone has been known to expose nutty DP orchestrated conspiracy theories.

    “What if reality does turn out to be a massive connect-the-dots image of St. Basil's Cathedral sitting atop the White House? (This was suddenly legitimate British conspiracist Louise Mensch's construction in The New York Times last week.) What if all the Glenn Beck-style far-out charts with the circles and arrows somehow all make sense?

    This is one of the tricks that keeps every good conspiracy theory going. Nobody wants to be the one claiming the emperor has no clothes the day His Highness walks out naked. And this Russia thing has spun out of control into just such an exercise of conspiratorial mass hysteria.”
    ROLLING STONE, Putin Derangement Syndrome Arrives, Whatever the truth about Trump and Russia, the speculation surrounding it has become a dangerous case of mass hysteria, Matt Taibbi, 4/3/17.

    The FBI has always been a bunch of dirtbags, but we were happier believing the myth. The vicious attacks on Trump while they Whitewashed Hillary's espionage drove the scales from America's eyes.

    No, the clown show for the gullible was put on by The Trunt and his minions, and the idiots who bought a ticket are sitting their happy asses in jail for their stupidity. May the performers who profited from this circus join them in the near future.

    The FBI should have stuck with investigating kidnapping and bank robbery.

    "Many view Trump’s attacks as self-serving: he has called the renowned agency an “embarrassment to our country” and its investigations of his business and political dealings a “witch hunt.” But as much as the bureau’s roughly 14,000 special agents might like to tune out the news, internal and external reports have found lapses throughout the agency, and longtime observers, looking past the partisan haze, see a troubling picture: something really is wrong at the FBI."

    They are just horrible. All the illegal spying, attacks, acting as political guard dogs for the most extreme viewpoints that have ever been forced on the American People has not gone unnoticed. And through all this illegal activity by the Dirtbags at the FBI and not ONE whistleblower and not ONE resignation in protest. They made plain who they side with against the American People.

    Rotten Head = Rotten Fish

    "The report closely follows an earlier one in April by Horowitz, which showed that the ousted deputy director of the FBI, Andrew McCabe, had lied to the bureau’s internal investigations branch to cover up a leak he orchestrated about Clinton’s family foundation less than two weeks before the election. (The case has since been referred to the U.S. Attorney’s office in Washington, D.C., for potential prosecution.) "

    Says the person who posts A and wants us to believe Z while forgetting every other letter it takes to get from A to Z.

    argument construction. Learn it, cause I thoroughly reject your political dogmatism

    That is not a story by a DK reporter, it is a submission by a DK subscriber. who, at the very end wrote:


    This is purely speculation on my part, but I think it’s a more logical explanation for the evidence at hand and the Department of Justice’s response to it. Which do you think is more likely: that Ray Epps is a federal agent provocateur, or that he was questioned and released by the FBI for lack of evidence?

    This content was created by a Daily Kos Community member.

    Sorry, if you want me to accept the premise as factual, speculation by a subscriber doesn't cut the mustard.

    Besides, I rarely quote hard left sources, such as DK HuffPo, The Wonkette, etc., for this very reason.

    The report from a Left Wing source is especially credible. Which is probably why you don't like it. ;-)

    It would be a surprise if the left could tell the difference between apples and sparkplugs if an anonymous source said they were the same.

    Why don’t you know, according to the left playbook this was just a peaceful protest.

    Why don’t you, you know, claim that - according to the RWNJ playbook at least - this was the end of Western Civilization as we know it?
