    SURPRISE:

    TRUMP’S SECRET $1 BILLION INVESTMENT SOUNDS SHADY AS


    Who gave him the money? The ex-president’s new company won’t say.

    a plan to go public via special purpose acquisition company (or SPAC),

    which would allow the ex-president to get rich by selling stock—

    without actually having to build a profitable company

    or even launch the social network at all.


    Months later, the con appears to being continuing apace—

    only now with fun new national security implications!

    Mark Meadows describes freak out at the White House after Fox News called Arizona for Biden

    decision by Fox News to call Arizona for now-President Joe Biden on election night set off an explosion of shouting and cursing as Meadows attempted to call the conservative network for a correction.

    Meadows, he believed "liberals" at Fox were behind the early call decision. WTF ???????
    "My worst fears — that there was a liberal contingent within the network trying to sabotage President Trump in the name of objectivity — had been realized.

    I dialed Bill Sammon once again, tapping the numbers with such force that I'm surprised I didn't crack the screen of my iPhone," he wrote, telling Sammon,

    "There is no information that you could have at this time that would make this call possible."

    Chuck Todd turns tables on GOP senator who won't admit Biden won: '

    Do you believe you were elected?'




    there's a lot of controversy out there totally fabricated by assholes like this KS prick

    and I'm focused right now on making it easier to vote and harder to cheat.

    Trump Blames 'Smart and Sharp' Obama for Creating 'Tremendous Division' in America

    Former President Donald Trump started his "History Tour"

    by criticizing his predecessor, President Barack Obama in South Florida on Saturday night.
    The tour—

    which features Trump alongside former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly— is that Catholic sex predator still around?

    kicked off in Sunrise.

    During the event, he offered some praise for Obama, calling him "smart and sharp," the Sun-Sentinel reported.


    "I liked him," he said,

    even as the crowd booed,

    Former White House lawyer calls for charging Sidney Powell with criminal fraud




    laid out the case to charge former Donald Trump attorney Sidney Powell with criminal fraud charges for bilking followers out of millions to investigate the 2020 election.

    Powell -- who is already facing a massive defamation lawsuit filed against her by Dominion Voting Systems -- should also be indicted on criminal charges.

    raking in $14 millionfor her "Defending the Republic nonprofit group using baseless claims about 'fraud' in that election."

    there are limits to free speech and Powell has crossed over into criminality.

    "... spreading fake news to ask for money is commercial speech, and courts enforce laws criminalizing fraud.

    While Powell may argue that she believed her claims, there is no First Amendment right to lie to people to get their money."

    "Lies that people get away with in politics can result in indictments in the charitable fundraising world,"

    she raised millions making such false statements makes it that much worse —

    and we still don’t know what happened with the money."

    "...there are legal limits to lying, even in politics.

    Lying about nonexistent election fraud to a turbulent crowd ahead of their storming the Capitol and

    threatening to kill the vice president is incitement of insurrection, which can be criminal.

    Likewise, lying about demonstrable facts concerning an election that is already over to get people to send you money which cannot possibly be used to change the election result should be prosecuted as fraud."

    if you're a store owner who had property damaged and inventory taken, its not as simple as calling your insurance company that evening and everything is back to normal the next morning

    I'm aware.

    It's not a national crisis either.

    Here’s how Trump ignored reality to blow up Middle East peace deal

    During the 2016 campaign, Trump vowed to cut “the mother of all deals” to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

    "Abbas told Trump that he thought they could make a deal. Netanyahu urged Trump to wait."

    Yet Trump still pushed for a deal.

    Trump reached the conclusion that Netanyahu never sincerely wanted to negotiate a two-state solution,"

    Trump may have destroyed all hope for peace during the 2016 presidential campaign.

    "Trump undermined his own efforts toward a peace deal in December 2017 when

    he recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and said the U.S. Embassy would move there,"

    It turned out to be far more serious, becoming the worst crisis between the U.S. and Palestinians in at least 15 years."


    Trump cut off aid to the Palestinians, but had difficulty explaining why.

    'Troubling' questions raised about disappearing millions from Trump's dark money machine

    the "dark money" machine that is raking in hundreds of millions of dollars to promote Donald Trump recently changed ownership hands and

    questions are being raised about
    where all the money is going and who controls it.

    the non-profit formerly known as America First Policies underwent an ownership change that further has obscured how the money is being used.

    Pointing out that the changes "cast another layer of opacity over millions of dollars in already obscured donations the group made to controversial far-right causes in 2020,"

    “Whatever your views of so-called ‘dark money’ may be, these groups are further obscuring money flows,”

    the selling of a non-profit is quite unusual, telling the Beast,

    "Nonprofits generally do not have owners as a matter of state law, so I am not sure what they mean by ‘sold.'

    Nonprofits can sell their assets, including their name, as long as they do so for fair market value,” before adding, "the nonprofit itself would have received the proceeds.”


    "All the confusion has one immediate upshot: It makes it even more difficult to understand who exactly is responsible for millions of dollars in shady grants that [Trump affiliated group] America First Policies doled out last year."

    paper trails vanish almost immediately, with some en ies appearing to have evaded scrutiny after failing to file tax reports for several years—

    a pattern which raised concerns among experts in nonprofit law."


    several other off-shoots that have also undergone multiple name changes -- and in many cases have not made IRS filings

    Trump official broke the law with attempt to silence government scientists during pandemic



    A Trump administration political appointee broke the law with

    a gag order banning Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) staff from talking to the media,

    the Office of Special Counsel concluded.

    That gag order came from Michael Caputo, HHS
    assistant secretary of public affairs for a brief time,

    but an important one:

    mid-April through mid-September, 2020, as the coronavirus pandemic really gained hold, abated, and surged again.

    The Heroes Of The Voter-Fraud Obsessed, QAnon Universe Are Turning On Each Other




    Demands for audits, accusations of satanism, “kookiness” and back-stabbing:

    Over the last month, the country’s most prominent QAnon promoters and election fraud boosters have, perhaps inevitably,

    turned their rhetorical tools against each other.

    And it’s a big, public mess.
