“Trump announces vast conspiracy to commit and cover up election fraud”
Trump says a lot of things. None of them are true.
So Trump wants us to believe that elections were fine when he won in 2016, but then got compromised under him for the 2020 election, but then Biden cleaned it up I guess so that he could fairly win the 2024 election?
Uh huh.
or the other way to think about it is that maga did the rigging and still lost in 2020
Yep, as I see it, he only claims the election held during his in office was compromised. So yeah, sounds like we found the issue.
but then Biden cleaned it up so that he could fairly win the 2024 election.
Oh that’s an angle more people need to play up “Biden did a great job so you had a fair election!” that would really mess with him.
I doubt it. “We won by such a huge margin that even their cheating couldn’t stop us”. It’s fake strongman verbiage, it’s appealing to their base’s desire to believe that everyone is on their side, and it’s obviously untrue on multiple levels. It’s perfectly on-brand for them in every way.
Every accusation is a confession with trump
He knows he lost 2020 fairly
He just wants everyone else to think otherwise
You said it.
No no no, it’s not about the mechanics. It’s about degrading confidence in this November. Trump Rule of Acquisition number 13: 1000 lies are enough to forget what’s true
While it won’t solve the systemic problem of sheer evil and complete idiocy in the Republican Party, I cannot wait until this asshole is dead and gone just so I no longer have to see, read about, or hear the ugly gasbag anymore.
Here’s hoping for that well-earned and exceedingly painful deadly heart attack to arrive soon.

Agreed on both counts.
While Trump is an especially malignant tumor rather than the underlying cancer, a tumor can still itself kill you if not excised in time.

America is at the point it is worthy of study by anthropologists
I think you meant psychologists.
They’re a group with a long history of not being able to take no for an answer. Why else would Mike Johnson need to provide them cover?

Every accusation is a confession
Accusation in a mirror, a propaganda and hate speech technique.
These people for sure studied how such propaganda works. And if you listen closely, the patterns of speech give it away. I have seen it used in the Brexit debate, and it already smelled like Fascism to me.
It has never been truer than with this group of people.
As a rule I bet it has a 100% hit rate. To the extent that it seems like they havent done every single thing they’ve accused the other side of, it’s only be they either don’t have the ability yet or it hasn’t been discovered yet.
This is part of the current Republican modus operandi.
Start by accusing your opponents of false crimes. This excites their base and fills the media landscape with “that didn’t happen” language.
Next, you explicitly commit the crimes that you falsely accused your opponents of. Claim it’s not happening, but if it were, it would be justified because the other side did it already (which they didn’t), then re-use the same “that didn’t happen” language your opponents originally crafted. Now an ignorant public isn’t sure who to believe.
And it’s working.
Make no mistake: this is the biggest sign of any that Republicans are going to attempt a wide variety of election tampering, voter suppression and voter fraud tactics to tip the balance of the November (2026) election.
And it doesn’t have to be wide scale: they just need to disrupt a few urban districts in highly contested states. Any crimes they commit won’t be addressed until after the elections are over. See Musk’s million-dollar voter bribes recently maybe being considered illegal: big deal, the fascists already won and have deployed goons into the streets to deport and murder people.
Get your cameras ready.
He’s really desperate to keep those cover-ups going.
If he has actual evidence, then where are the criminal charges for the individuals who committed these felonies? Oh? There are no charges? Because there’s no actual evidence that would hold up in court? Hmm. This sounds like a conman selling snake oil to me. I’m not stupid enough to buy it. I feel bad for anyone falling for this. It’s like campaign promises about not starting any wars. Lies from an evil politician.
Yep, all he does is lie and his supporters eat it up. It’s so goddamn frustrating dealing with these people as they parrot whatever baseless nonsense Trump’s ranting about on any given day. And the moment they can’t lie to themselves anymore they just move on to the next line of bullshit. Trump voters are Charlie Brown to Trump’s Lucy Van Pelt.
The courts are under his control too. The real reason no one of significance will be held accountable for the allegations is because this is theatre but leadership in both parties is actually very unified in favor robbing the working class.
So… the guy who has lied and continues to lie about 21 times a day, far more than any other president…
Even though he doesn’t deserve it, if we gave him the benefit of the doubt, he has actual proof of such serious accusations, right? Waiting for it…
Who still remembers 6th January 2021.
His speech is another dog whistle to mage cult and supporting media.
A dog whistle to those who are willing to destroy what America is supposed to represent in exchange for power and the biggest grift in history.World leaders should be watching very closely and think about doing deals with the tyrant’s administration
Bullshit.
However, speaking of documents, show us those Epstein files.
There’s MASSIVE ELECTION FRAUD happening Right NOW!
-Republicans 6 Months BEFORE an Election!
He even said that current voting machines are vulnerable and corrupted… So he shouldn’t even be President right now.
Did Trump decide he needed yet another loss in courts?
You know, he sometimes sounds like my father did when he was in his 80’s and had had a couple of strokes.
Being on some hardcore blood thinners after a mini-stroke(s) could explain the hand bruising. Along with like a million other things, admittedly
That’s all he’s getting these days

If we could only be so lucky.
This asshole alleges all kinds of shit, and has never backed any of his claims up.
Here’s the thing, He didn’t say anything that we didn’t already KNOW. He stepped out there and used the big fancy word ‘declassified’, but EVERYTHING, he said that was even half true we knew about.
And half of that stuff that he’s trying to scream about the democrats tried to fix with election protections during Biden’s run and before. The Republicans blocked the bill (of course).
He conflated multiple issues that we have been discussing around elections for decades, but none of the actual votes were the issue.
The China hack? It happened. It was demographic data. We knew that.
Are our voting machines easy to manipulate? We knew that, but not via wifi hacking typically and not at the national scale. The risk was firmware iirc not remote hacks.
Then, he mentions foreign elections, which had nothing to do with us.
The time it takes to count all votes? We knew that. Mail in ballots take time to count, and elections are usually called well before final counts.
I noticed Russia was constantly absent from his list of meddlers. But bots were rampant during elections, especially about Biden and Hillary.
He basically took everything that independent studies have said over the last 20 years and conflated it directly with voting machines.
The outright lies were obvious. Dead people voting, etc. But a lot of it was twisted just enough. It was, as usual, outrageous.
No no no, this time they are doing the fraud! It’s just him being too dumb to keep his stupid mouth shut.
