CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism "Who else wants Trump to testify under oath for 11 hours on live television and explain why the National Guard wasn’t deployed on January 6?" https://twitter.com/CalltoActivism/status/1449740346326409223 Steve Thomas

Donald Trump actually did us a favor. The more people try and ride his coattails, the more people are going to look askance at him and his claims. Laura Loomer baselessly claims she won her election in 2020 (FL-21) and that the election was stolen from her. She lost by over 80,000 votes. “"I won," Loomer falsely claimed. "I won, the election was stolen, just like it was stolen from Donald Trump. I won my election."” (Florida's 21st Congressional District includes Palm Beach). https://twitter.com/i/status/1449510472198197248 Steve Thomas

Bannon tells cheering crowd he's going 'to return Donald Trump to his rightful ownership of this presidency' by Brad Reed October 13, 2021 https://www.rawstory.com/steve-bannon-trump-presidency/ “While speaking at the "Save America Freedom Tour" in Virginia, Bannon elaborated on why he's gone all-in on Trump's false claims about the 2020 presidential election. "That's why 3 November is so important," he said, referring to the date of last year's election. "Number one: It has put the legitimacy of this regime in question to independents... Number Two is to make sure we get a fair accounting of what actually happened, we can't go forward without it. Number Three is to make sure they can't cheat us again. Number Four is to return Donald Trump to his rightful ownership of this presidency." Ownership? Steve Thomas

David, I can't. I have to read some more from the Kraken lawyer, Sidney Powell and keep abreast of all the most recent developments. She's claiming that the U.S. Army has a contract with the National Institutes of Health to send all of our votes to a secret server somewhere, where they all get changed. Wonder if she told the dead guys in the Wisconsin prisons? Steve Thomas

Tens of thousands of dead people are voting from prison!!!!!! - Mike Lindell – (aka the My Pillow Guy) "If you can pull up, I'm going to show you guys in Wisconsin, just an example, how 23,000 people voted using a prison address and used the same phone number," Lindell said during an interview posted on his namesake website, "and a lot of them were people that turned out, as we dove into it, they're not alive anymore, they just used their names obviously, and they don't live in Wisconsin." And obviously, they don't live in Wisconsin. I'm sorry. I just can't keep up any more. Steve Thomas

Are you concerned about rising sea levels? “A Republican state legislative candidate in Virginia posed an interesting question on Twitter recently. "I'm curious, Do you think the sea level would lower, if we just took all the boats out of the water? Just a thought, not a statement," wrote Scott Pio, who is challenging Democratic Del. David Reid in Loudoun County's District 32.” by John Wright October 12, 2021 https://www.rawstory.com/scott-pio-sea-level/ A lot of people are asking questions, you know? Steve Thomas

As far as States trying to secede, I always thought it would be Georgia. Looks like I was right. Steve Thomas

The Far-Right John Birch Society Wants Anti-Mask Protests to Fuel Its Comeback “The John Birch Society used to boost segregation. Now it’s back to attack schools over mask mandates.” by Kelly Weill Oct. 11, 2021 https://www.thedailybeast.com/far-right-john-birch-society-wants-anti-mask-protests-to-fuel-its-comeback?ref=home “On a sunny Saturday in a Knoxville, Tennessee park, a man with a microphone told a crowd of parents to bar entry to their children’s schools. “Starting Monday morning and until this is over, we need to bring Knox County schools to a screeching halt,” he said to applause. He called on parents, students, and staff to participate. “We have a moral obligation to our children’s future. Block the entrance to the school with your car. That’s my suggestion. Block the entrance to the drive—don’t even let a bus in your schools. If you can be that bold in your groups, do it.” The event, “Parents In The Park” was billed as a meet-up for parents who objected to a mask mandate in Knox County schools. But the Sept. 26 gathering was more than just concerned caregivers. It was organized and hosted by the John Birch Society (JBS)…” Oh joy. Steve Thomas

'Beyond our current worst nightmares': Mental health experts warn about the likely effects of a Trump comeback by Chauncey Devega, Salon October 11, 2021 https://www.rawstory.com/trump-2024-2655269936/ “In a recent essay, author and pastor John Pavlovitz addresses this: [F]or the first time in America's history the latent ugliness in people was revealed and validated and celebrated by a sitting president — it was officially normalized. And what we're experiencing now; this staggering, insensitive posturing in the face of so many people's suffering, is the late-ripening fruit of something that has been set into the bedrock of half our nation. It is the malicious entitlement that MAGA was designed to nurture from the beginning.... This quickly metastasizing moral cancer is something we've never experienced on this level in our lifetimes and it's something we're going to have to reckon with regardless of the political outcomes of the next four years. If the former president somehow takes that office again, these stories will surely grow exponentially more violent and more commonplace, but either way, the ugliness is here now. The Trump Effect on America, is that once reasonable, rational human beings whose prejudices, fears, and phobias were all bound by some baseline decorum and common courtesy that kept them from intentionally harming others — have been empowered to revel in the worst of themselves. They believe cruelty is their birthright. Dr. David Reiss is a psychiatrist, expert in mental fitness evaluations and contributor to "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump." You asked: What do I think will happen to America if Trump runs for office and wins in 2024? In my opinion, the even more frightening question is this: "What would it mean had happened to the American people and American society if Trump were returned to office in 2024?"” Steve Thomas

In his statement on Friday, Trump declared: Big Michigan Rally coming up on Oct. 12th, on the Capitol steps in Lansing, where Patriots will demand a Forensic Audit of the 2020 Presidential Election Scam. The Voter Fraud is beyond what anyone can believe. Anyone who cares about our Great Country should attend, because unless we look to the past and fix what happened, we won't have a future or a Country. In Michigan of all places? Where all those armed guys took over the State Capitol and threatened to kidnap and kill the Governor? That's a recipe for disaster. Steve Thomas

When you look up the word demagogue in the dictionary, this is what you find: Tom Boggioni October 10, 2021 https://www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-election-fraud/ "Speaking to the rabidly pro-Trump crowd in Des Moines, Trump blurted, "I'm telling you the single biggest issue, as bad as the border is and it's horrible, horrible what they're doing, they're destroying our country — but as bad as that is, the single biggest issue — the issue that gets the most pull, the most respect, the biggest cheers — is talking about the election fraud of the 2020 presidential election."" The biggest issue in our country is the one that gets the biggest cheers. Steve Thomas

Your "scrum" came and xxxx on my Capitol. and I'm mad as hell about that. Steve Thomas

A New Confederacy: Trump and the Republicans have already seceded Now they’re preparing to fight a new civil war. In fact, they're already doing it in all but name By Lucian K. Truscott IV October 9, 2021 https://www.salon.com/2021/10/09/a-new-confederacy-and-the-have-already-seceded/ “You know which ones they are: Nineteen states have enacted 33 laws that make it harder for people to vote Nineteen states have enacted a total of 106 new laws restricting a woman's right to choose to have an abortion, Twelve states have refused to expand Medicaid coverage under the Affordable Care Act, leaving as many as two million people without health insurance All of the states that refused Medicaid expansion and have passed restrictions on voting and abortion are controlled by the Republican Party. Many of those same states have also passed bans on mask and vaccine mandates, and nearly all of them have endured more cases per capita of COVID-19, more hospitalizations and more deaths from the virus. In effect, without any states (yet) seceding from the Union, we already live in two Americas.” “This is what I mean when I say that Republicans have already seceded. They're a white party and they're forming a white country with white laws and white companies and white jobs where white votes count and others don't. They can live in the states that comprise that country, but they can't survive there without our money. It was the same way with the South before the Civil War. They lived in their states with slavery, but they couldn't survive without the economy of the North, so they started a war. They never intended to "secede." They intended to win, and run the new country, which would be the South writ large, with slave-owners in power and slavery everywhere.” “Democrats may or may not "win" in 2022 and 2024, but the elections are already over. Republicans have declared that only their votes count. Unless we get together and stay together and use our numbers to protect our democracy, we will end up living in their fascist country ruled by their dictator.” Steve Thomas

This guy is so smart. I'm sure glad he's not after me! https://twitter.com/ZTPetrizzo/status/1446306403468161049 Here is the clip of Lindell claiming an 850-year-old person voted in the 2020 election. https://twitter.com/i/status/1446306403468161049 Steve Thomas

Palm Beach Police Ball Will Enrich Trump, Whose Jan. 6 Mob Attacked Officers By S.V. Date and Ryan J. Reilly 10/07/2021 https://www.huffpost.com/entry/palm-beach-police-trump_n_615f5c15e4b0cc44c50a53b8 “The Palm Beach Police and Fire Foundation is planning a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago this winter that will likely put some quarter-million dollars into Donald Trump’s cash registers — despite the former president’s incitement of the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol that led to the deaths of five police officers and injuries to 140 more. The charity would not disclose how much it will be paying Trump’s for-profit South Florida club to host the Jan. 22, 2022, “Policemen’s and Fire Fighters’ Ball.” Tax filings with the IRS, however, show that it paid $235,012 in 2020, $214,760 in 2019 and $262,261 in 2018 in facility rental costs for the same event in those years, all of which were also held at Mar-a-Lago.” “A spokesman for the Palm Beach Police Department said it was not involved in choosing the site. “I really cannot provide a comment on whether it’s appropriate or not,” said Capt. Will Rothrock. “The department is apolitical ... I can’t really speak to the former president’s actions.”” There are no words... Steve Thomas
