Lara Trump, the RNC grifter-in-chief, recently said that the Trump campaign will accept election results if they "feel" that it was a free and fair election. For the record, 2020 was the most fair election on record. And yet, they are trying to subvert it and put doubt into MAGA voters' minds. What does that mean for America, especially when the media isn’t covering this issue like they should?
There is an exhaustion factor from the media and the general population. I’m a political junkie and confess to being tired of hearing what a despicable, ignorant and incompetent piece of shit he is; because I do not see enough movement in the minds of the voters.
Who are my fellow Americans? they aren’t all ignorant, racist, or plan dumb or maybe I’m exhausted because they are all of the above which is hard for me to believe or swollow, so I’m checking out of paying attention.
Gosh I hope they awaken, read some real and accurate media and look at their neighbors as their equals rather than their enemies! If they don’t America is doomed!
I wonder if Lara Trump and Donnie, junior’s girlfriend went to the same, “sucker fish lips” plastic surgeon. If either one of them stuck their head out of a moving car they would beat themselves to death with their lips.
Lara Trump is no genius. I’d go so far as to say she mispoke when talking about the election results and “‘feelings.” Anyway, tho, I’ll bet my truck they will contest. The pattern is established now, and they will never concede short of an overwhelming landslide.
Steve, I have the utmost respect for you. But I think you’re a little too hard on the President. These are unprecedented times. The media is more into power and prestige, ratings and clicks. They’re suppose to be the 4th branch of government, protecting democracy and keeping our political figures clean and informing and educating the American people. Something is really wrong. The system is totally broken and we are headed down the road of fascism. It’s not the President’s fault. The media won’t let him break through. But they will cover trump live whenever he says a few words in front of an old ugly NY courthouse. Why? I’ve said this before the media really wants Trump, he’s good for ratings and ratings mean more money! I’m saddened by all of this. I hope I am totally wrong, but this is what my gut and head are saying. So my point is we are in this together, we have to help the President win this, he can’t do it alone! This is our campaign too, our campaign to protect American Democracy and keep the experiment going!
Lara is from North Carolina. She’s been fast tracked for admission to the Mark Robinson Hall of Shame. The plan is for her induction with former Congressman Madison Cawthorn.
We have seen this play out twice already. Trump said if he didn’t win the 2016 race that it would only happen if it was rigged against him. He won so it couldn’t have been rigged. In 2020, he lost so it had to be rigged. Why would he be different in 2024?
The difference would be the degree of violence or the Trump state officials will decertify the vote or congress will vote to decertify. Another option is that his ally, DeJoy will sabotage the mail so votes can’t be counted timely. Sycophants of Trump will file multiple claims to throw out ballots before they are counted. Yet another ploy is physical intimidation by proud boys and militias who will “watch over” polling locations.
And what is Garland Congress The Senate or even the president doing in preparation for these possibilities? Nothing.
The time for what we could have and should have been done has passed.
Should have produced a different candidate than Biden.
Started the Trump federal indictments in 2021.
Added Justices to the Supreme Court?
Made Washington DC and Puerto Rico states.
Indict the Congress who planned and aided the insurrectionist back in 2021.
The last line of Steve's "Warning" says it all. And the fact is, if we as a nation elect a contemptible, corrupt, disgusting creature such as Trump, we will have earned all of the derision and scorn that will come our way.
NO!! I refuse. Not ALL is BS Steve. People ARE speaking out. MSNBC is talking about these threats!! Every single day. What else can we do?!! Help me out here. All these Substacks on here are. The Bulwark, Dan Rather, Robert Reich, Joyce Vance, Thom Hartmann, Simon Rosenberg and many many others on this platform are raising the alarms!!!
I see many many people like me getting involved, writing letters, donating, writing postcards, registering Voters and are doing what we can to stop Trump and help Biden win. No one that I know of is sitting idly by.
Sadly though the average citizen can't explain difference between a liberal and illiberal democracy. Which is very worrisome. So I get your point. But damnit I'm not going down without one hell of a fight and I'm pretty sure most of the rest of the people on this platform feel the same even though we are scared shitless. I sure don't have the money to move away. I'm stuck. So God help us all!! 🙏🏻💙🇺🇸💙
I feel the same except for being scared shitless. I'm not. Fear just helps the anti-democratic forces. I'm feeling energized and ready to fight those forces trying to undermine our democracy and seize power. They're whiners, liars, and cowards. Of course they'll try everything they tried in the past and then some. But the pro-Democracy side is better prepared, bigger, and in power. Freedom is not free. It will be my honor--allbeit a sometimes exhausting one--to fight for freedom and democracy all my days.
Thanks Elizabeth!! I'm not scared all the time. Just sometimes. When I hear my one remaining MAGA family friend tell me the only way out of this mess is a revolution. That does scare me. Because he has a lot of guns and I know his friends and the other MAGA followers do too.
I just finished the book Inseparable by Faris Cassell. It true story about a German Jewish family that managed to survive the holocaust in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp with their 5 year old twins twin. After the war the father was a witness in several trials, so he went back into Germany from the Netherlands where he and is wife has lived 10 years and where their kids were born. He asked a German what they thought of Hitler and one man responded " We seem to be the dumbest people on earth."
How many people in the USA will be saying that same exact thing if Trump wins and destroys our judicial system, among all the other evil and anti democratic plans he has promised to do in project 2025?
Frankly, it may be a moot point as to whether Lara and crew will accept the results. CNN has a story today that more people are warming to the idea of a Trump Presidency.
If Trump selects someone like Marco Rubio as VP, he may increase his chances. He’s certainly thinking about that. For any thinking person who votes, the only choice is to keep Trump away from the Oval Office. But we don’t seem to be a country of thinkers.
What a dumb gangster Donald Dump is! He picks family members because they're already beaten down so badly by Dump, that they'll do anything for approval; like wear depends on the outside, vandalize the capitol, steal votes, attack innocents, and rape women. But remember, maga monkey see, maga monkey do.
Basically we are already in a cold Civil War. Information is the weapon. Many of my fellow progressives are too nice. Well, it's time to not be nice. We need to drown these pigs in their own slop.
I'm more concerned with the election being clearly and demonstrably "rigged" to make him win, and THEN, because of all this pooping about accepting elections, we can't talk about it. Everything I've seen so far is based on projection, from the Deep State to justify the 2025 Project, to the "corrupt" Justice Dept, so called in order justify openly corrupting the Justice Dept.
SO with the election, I'd rather see the handwringing be more about the potential corruption of the election from MAGA than about the contestation of a fair election.
Steve, it occurred to me after noting Speaker Mike Johnson telling the world that trump is innocent of the charges against him that he is a Trojan Horse. He smiles and acts as if he is helping pass bills in Congress, and some Republicans in Congress are irate, but he's just lulling us to sleep because he knows if trump wins the election that all of this will grind to a stop! They'll take over the country and reverse all that was passed. As a normal little citizen it hit me yesterday, so I tried to reach out to Congresswoman Crockett who of course isn't repping my Republican controlled district surrounding Texas A&M, and told this to the lady who was manning the phones for her. I doubt my message gets through, so can you either give me clues as to how to share this or can you share with people who can do a Paul Revere type warning??? Thank you!
Jasmine Crockett is my favorite US Congressperson. Smart, savvy, and tough as nails. I watched her on YouTube take on a few of the illiterate MAGAs in Congress and it was epic.
Dark, hidden and powerful forces are in play all over the world. Everywhere, these forces are attempting to crush democracy as well as the aspirations of the citizenry. The will of the people is ignored and at times violently stamped out. In a divided country like the U.S., is it realistic or fair even to say that "it's up to us"? Does your vote really count anymore? Are there no counterpoint forces to prevent was is to come?

"Gosh I hope they awaken..." But then they's be smeared as "Woke" and that would be the end.
I wonder if Lara Trump and Donnie, junior’s girlfriend went to the same, “sucker fish lips” plastic surgeon. If either one of them stuck their head out of a moving car they would beat themselves to death with their lips.
Brrrrrrap, brrrrrrap….
Did you see the lips on that Grouper?
Thank you for the laugh.
😂😂
Don’t leave out Kristi Noem…

Never means never.
Well then, is the recent movie "Civil War" prescient?

Botox Bimbo
I bet she could place first in a cherry pit spitting contest.
😂😂😂
Yep!👍

Just some suggestions

Great post. These are the good old times. Remember them well if our fellow voters elect trhump.
