How to Steal a Presidential Election: TRUMP And The PERIL to Come - On The Right, Many Openly Muse About a Second Civil War
“His Re-Election Would Be WORSE Than Any Political Event in The History of America – Save The Decision of South Carolina to Launch The Civil War.” The Guardian 10 FEB 2024 TRUMP And a Second Civil War https://tse4.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.Y...=Api&P=0&h=180 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DNGSc6fUEAAlQ2d.jpg:large The TRUMP veepstakes is under way. Senator JD Vance and Representative Elise Stefanik prostrate themselves. Both signal they would do what Mike Pence refused: upend democracy for the sake of their Caesar. The senator is a Yale Law School alum and former US marine. Stefanik is the fourth-ranking House Republican. He was once critical of the former president. She was skeptical. Not anymore. “Do I think there were problems in 2020? Yes, I do,” Vance recently told ABC. “If I had been vice-president, I would have told the states, like Pennsylvania, Georgia and so many others, that we needed to have multiple slates of electors … I think the US Congress should have fought over it from there.” Last month, Stefanik said: “We will see if this is a legal and valid election. What we saw in 2020 was unconstitutional circumventing of the constitution, not going through state legislators when it comes to changing election law.” From the supreme court down, the judiciary has repeatedly rejected that contention. As the November election looms, Lawrence Lessig and Matthew Seligman offer How to Steal a Presidential Election, a granular and disturbing examination of the vulnerabilities and pressure points in the way the US selects its president. Short version: plenty can go wrong. Lessig is a chaired professor at Harvard Law School. He views a second Trump term as calamitous. “He is a pathological liar, with clear authoritarian instincts,” Lessig writes. “His re-election would be worse than any political event in the history of America – save the decision of South Carolina to launch the civil war.” Seligman is a fellow at the Constitutional Law Center at Stanford, focused on disputed presidential elections. He too views Trump uncharitably. “Former president Trump and his allies attempted a legal coup in 2020 – a brazen attempt to manipulate the legal system to reverse the results of a free and fair election,” Seligman has said. “Despite all the attention on 6 January 2021 [the attack on Congress], our legal and political systems remain dangerously unprotected against a smarter and more sophisticated attempt in 2024.” The open question is whether forewarned is forearmed. On the page, Lessig and Seligman spell out seven roads to ruin, the “inverting” of an election to force a result that thwarts voters’ expressed intentions. The authors discount the capacity of a vice-president to unilaterally overturn an election result. But they warn of the potential for havoc at state level. As they see it, the danger of pledged but not legally bound electors being coerced to vote for Trump when the electoral college convenes is “significant”. They also hypothesize a state governor “interven[ing] to certify a slate of electors contrary to the apparent popular vote”. Another path to perdition includes making state legislatures the final judges of election results. There is also the “nuclear option”, according to the authors, which is stripping the right to vote from the voters. “A state legislature cancels its election before election day and chooses the state’s electors directly,” as Lessig and Seligman put it, a potential outcome they call a “very significant” possibility under the US constitution. “State legislators are free to deny their people a meaningful role in selecting our president, directly or indirectly,” they write. “Is there any legal argument that might prevent a legislature from formally taking the vote away from its people? We are skeptical.” To say US democracy is at risk is not to indulge in hyperbole. Trump’s infamous January 2021 call to Brad Raffensperger, the Georgia secretary of state, is a vivid reminder. “What I want to do is this. I just want to find, uh, 11,780 votes, which is one more than … we have, because we won the state.” Such words continue to haunt. In an episode that casts a similar pall, Trump and Ronna McDaniel, the Republican National Committee (RNC) chair, urged election officials in Michigan’s Wayne county to block the release of final results. “Do not sign it … we will get you attorneys,” McDaniel told the officials, regarding certification. “We’ll take care of that,” Trump said. Now, as he has for so many former enablers, Trump has taken care of McDaniel. She will shortly be gone from the RNC. Among Trump’s supporters, discontent with democracy is no secret. During the 2016 campaign, Paul LePage, then governor of Maine, thought Trump needed to show some “authoritarian power”. In 2019, Mike Johnson, then a Louisiana congressman, declared: “By the way, the United States is not a democracy. Do you know what a democracy is? Two wolves and a sheep deciding what’s for dinner. You don’t want to be in a democracy. Majority rule: not always a good thing.” Johnson is now House speaker. For good measure, he claims God told him “very clearly” to prepare to become “Moses”...:uhh: “The Lord said step forward,” Johnson says. On the right, many openly muse about a second civil war. “We’ve already had one, so we know it’s within the realm of possibility,” James Pinkerton, a veteran of the White Houses of Ronald Reagan and George HW Bush, recently wrote in the American Conservative. “In fact, by one reckoning, the English speakers have had two other civil wars in the last four centuries, spaced out every hundred or so years. Is there some sort of deep cycle at work here? With, er, implications for our own troubled times?” The election won’t be pleasant. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DMisGsoUEAEP44x.jpg TRUMPS’ criminal trials loom. Through that prism, Lessig and Seligman’s work serves as dire warning and public service.

It doesn't look good for me," Trump said of including the wounded veterans. Kelly was shocked by Trumps' request. On Friday morning, the entire panel on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" ripped into Donald Trump for yet another REPEATED attack on America's military veterans, with criticism ranging from "shocking" to "warped." Late Thursday Trump told a crowd at his Bedminster Golf Resort that the Presidential Medal of Freedom is more worthy of admiration than the Congressional Medal of Honor traditionally given to war heroes. He then set off a wave of outrage by saying of the Medal of Honor recipients, "They're either in very bad shape because they've been hit so many times by bullets or they're dead." After showing the clip on Friday morning, co-host Joe Scarborough prompted Willie Geist with, "He has a long history, Willie, of disparaging American veterans and service members." "He does," Geist conceded. "I mean, you said it right. This is shocking but not surprising because of the pattern. This is not a one-off, this is the way he thinks about people who serve the country in uniform. In 2015, Trump mocked, of course, the late Senator John McCain (R-AZ) for having been a prisoner of war. Remember he said, quote, 'I like people who weren't captured.'" "Yeah, there's something really warped inside of him, there really is," Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson added. "Just something — I guess the word weird is overused, but all that we just played is weird." "And it is just appalling that he would speak of America's heroes that way," he continued. "I mean, the heroes, many who made the ultimate sacrifice for the country, and he simply does not get it. He doesn't understand. There's a connection there that's not being made, and, you know, you saw it where for years he was president https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=675 Boy, if he ever became president again, I would really worry about this country because of that emptiness, that lack inside of him, that lack of empathy, that lack of patriotism.

NUTTER TRUMP Reports Kamala as Dangerous Fascist & Marxist in Speech to Police
WARNINGS of Just How Dangerous TRUMP Can Be
TRUMP Attacks Kamala Harris, Calls Her Dangerous, Fascist & a Marxist in Speech to Police TRUMP has labelled Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris 'crazy', 'dangerous' and a 'fascist' during a rally in Pennsylvania. The Guardian 21 AUG 2024 https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=800 Despite initially planning to focus on key economic talking points to re-energise his campaign in the swing-state, Trump instead launched into personal attacks. Trump has pledged to shield police officers from legal accountability? if he is re-elected as president after falsely claiming the US is in the grip of a wave of violent crime that he blamed on the Black Lives Matter movement and people crossing the Mexican border. Speaking to police officers in Michigan on Tuesday, the former president sought to pin responsibility for the imagined crisis on his Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris, whom he characterised as among “Marxist district attorneys” with a record of being anti-police and pro-criminal during her term as the district attorney in San Francisco in the 2000s. At the same time, Trump lamented his own legal difficulties, including his criminal convictions for fraud in New York and other looming prosecutions. “They go after guys like me, but they don’t go after guys that kill people,” he said. Flanked by local sheriffs in Howell, a small city in greater Detroit where a group of white supremacists marched last month chanting “We love Hitler, we love Trump” and carrying signs reading “White Lives Matter”, Trump painted a picture of Americans living in fear of leaving their homes because of crime. “It’s just insane, but you can’t walk across the street to get a loaf of bread. You get shot, you get mugged, you get raped, you get … whatever it may be,” he said. The former president claimed that this alleged crime wave materialised when Joe Biden and Harris took office. “Since Comrade Kamala Harris took office, her administration’s crime statistics show she’s presided over a 43% increase in violent crime. These are all government numbers,” he claimed. In fact, official statistics show that violent crime is at an almost 50-year low in the US. Dangerous Trump https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=800 Experts Wednesday warned that Donald Trump's second term would pale in comparison to what he would do if re-elected to a second term. New York Times columnist Thomas Edsall compiled a host of dark forecasts from a variety of experts and spilled out more than 3,000 words to warn voters of the twice-impeached, quadruple-indicted, and now convicted felon former president's intentions. "The most important reason a second Trump term would be far more dangerous than his first is that if he does win this year, Trump will have triumphed with the electorate’s full knowledge that he has been criminally charged with 88 felonies and convicted of 34 of them (so far); He has promised to 'appoint a real special prosecutor to go after the most corrupt president in the history of the United States of America, Joe Biden, and the entire Biden crime family'; that he intends to 'totally obliterate the deep state' by gutting civil service protections for the 50,000 most important jobs in the federal work force, a central tenet of what he calls his 'retribution' agenda," Edsall wrote himself. Trump and his supporters have made clear they will NOT accept defeat in November any more than they did in 2020, which culminated in the deadly U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. "They believe that Trump is the one true legitimate president, that those who refuse to accept this fundamental fact are the true deniers, and that any result other than Trump’s restoration would be a thwarting of history’s purpose and a diabolical act of treason," Sean Wilentz, a historian at Princeton, writes in a forthcoming article in Liberties. "The authoritarian imperative has moved beyond Trumpian narcissism and the cultish MAGA fringe to become an article of faith from top to bottom inside the utterly transformed Republican Party, which Trump totally commands." Trump's character hasn't changed, according to Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe, who warned that three factors would make a second presidency even worse than the first. "First, he has systematically eroded the norms and the institutional guardrails that initially set boundaries on the damage he and his now more carefully chosen loyalist enablers are poised to do in carrying out the dangerous project to which they are jointly committed," Tribe wrote. "Second, their failures to insulate themselves from electoral and legal constraints during the dry run of 2017-21 have led them to formulate far more sophisticated and less vulnerable plans for their second attempt at consolidating permanent control of the apparatus of our fragile republic." "And third, their capture of the Supreme Court and indeed much of the federal judiciary has put in place devastating precedents like the immunity ruling of July 1 that will license a virtually limitless autocratic power — if, but only if, they are not stopped during the epic struggle that will reach one climax this Nov. 5 and another next Jan. 6," Tribe added. Yale historian Timothy Snyder, an expert on Hitler and Stalin, told Edsall to think of a second Trump administration starting at the images from Jan. 6, 2021. "That is where Trump left us and that is where he would begin," Snyder wrote. "Democracy depends upon example, and Trump sets the worst possible one," Snyder added. "He has openly admired dictators his entire life. He would encourage Xi and Putin. The Russians make completely clear that a Trump presidency is their hope for victory in Ukraine. Allowing Russia to win that war, which I think is Trump’s likely orientation, destabilizes Europe, encourages China toward aggression in the Pacific, and undermines the rule of law everywhere." Trump had no clear agenda when he entered the White House in 2017, just an assemblage of grievances and prejudices, and some of his worst impulses were tempered by the experienced officials who surrounded him and institutional guardrails imposed by bureaucrats he derided as the "deep state," another expert said. "Trump says he wants to replace the bureaucracy — part of the 'deep state' — with political appointees," wrote Robert Y. Shapiro, a political scientist at Columbia. "He wants to go after his political enemies, lock up refugees in camps, and implicit in all this he will appoint cabinet members and high level officials who support what he wants to do instead of the 'grown-ups' who constrained him at every turn during his presidency." The U.S. Supreme Court has shown it's willing to give Trump nearly unlimited powers, and no Republican spoke out when he said there would be a "bloodbath" if he wasn't re-elected, and his legal predicaments give him a great incentive to do whatever it takes to retake power, according to Snyder. https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=690 "Trump is in the classic dictatorial position: He needs to die in bed holding all executive power to stay out of prison," Snyder wrote. "This means that he will do whatever he can to gain power, and once in power will do all that he can to never let it go. This is a basic incentive structure which underlies everything else. It is entirely inconsistent with democracy." https://media.giphy.com/media/3o84TR...DiVO/giphy.gif |
Texas Review Appeal Of Black Womans' 5yrs Who Unknowingly Voted Illegally
Unbelievable! TX Court, Who Normally Support Trump, To Review Appeal Of Black Woman Facing 5yrs Who Unknowingly Voted Illegally
Texas to reconsider case AGAIN of Black woman sentenced to five years for trying to vote for Biden.. Move is latest step in case of Crystal Mason that has captured US attention because of severity of sentence Trump Says He Has Enough Votes: Focus Now 'Make Sure They Don't Cheat' The Guardian 22 AUG 2024 https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/dad91...0&dpr=1&s=none Crystal Mason holds her grandson, Karter Hobbs, 3, in Fort Worth, Texas, on 29 March 2024. Texas’s highest criminal court announced on Wednesday it would again consider the case of Crystal Mason, a Texas woman who was sentenced to five years in prison for trying to cast a provisional ballot for Biden in the 2016 presidential election when she was ineligible to vote. The announcement from the Texas court of criminal appeals is the latest step in a nearly eight-year case that has captured national attention because of the severity of Mason’s sentence. Mason, who lives in Fort Worth, attempted to vote in 2016 while on supervised release – which is like probation – for a federal tax felony. Texas, like several other US states, bars people convicted of a felony from voting until they have completed their sentence. Even though her supervised release officer testified they never advised her she could not vote, prosecutors argue she knew she was ineligible and tried to vote anyway. Her ballot was never counted. Many voting rights groups see the prosecution of Mason, who is Black, as a clear example of voter intimidation, and have pointed to other white defendants who have received lesser punishment for knowingly committing election crimes. Mason has always maintained she did not know she was ineligible. It will be the second time the case comes before the court. In 2022, it ordered a lower court to revisit a decision upholding the sentence. The lower court did so and threw out Mason’s conviction in March. While some of Mason’s lawyers expected that would be the end of the case, Phil Sorrells, the local district attorney, decided to appeal the decision. “While I am ready for this case to be over and for my acquittal to stand, I will continue to maintain my faith that justice will be done,” Mason said in a statement. Mason showed up to cast a ballot in 2016 at the urging of her mother, who regularly reminded her children and grandchildren to vote. When poll workers couldn’t find her name on the list of registered voters, they offered her a provisional ballot. Provisional ballots are a special kind of ballot required under federal law if there is uncertainty about someone’s eligibility and only get counted if they are later confirmed to be eligible to vote. The entire case hinges on whether Mason read and understood an affidavit she signed on the envelope accompanying the provisional ballot swearing that she was an eligible voter. Part of the affidavit asks the voter to swear that if they are a convicted felon they have completed their sentence entirely. Mason has always maintained that she did not read the affidavit and would not have voted if she understood she was ineligible to vote. In March, the second court of appeals said that prosecutors had not presented sufficient evidence to prove Mason “actually realized” she was ineligible to vote. Sorrells disputed that in his appeal to the court of criminal appeals, writing that there was sufficient evidence Mason understood the affidavit. “The appellate court erroneously interpreted ambiguous testimony in the defense’s favor, credited evidence that the trial court was free to disregard, reweighed evidence in a manner favoring the defense, and disregarded evidence that supported the trial court’s findings, all at odds with the binding precedent of this court,” lawyers for his office wrote. Sorrells has also defended the decision to appeal the case. “I want would-be illegal voters to know that we’re watching,” Sorrells said in May. “And that we’ll follow the law and we will prosecute illegal voting.” The Texas court of criminal appeals, who normally support Trump, said it would decide the case without oral argument. It did not immediately set a schedule for the parties to submit briefs, so a timeline for a resolution was not immediately clear. “We have faith that the court will uphold Crystal’s acquittal and all Texans will see a day when they can feel confident in the franchise and go to the polls unafraid that they could face prison time for any mistake or misunderstanding,” Alison Grinter Allen, one of Mason’s attorneys, said in a statement. Trump Says He Has Enough Votes For 2024 -How Does HE Know?? https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=800 TRUMP told voters in North Carolina on Wednesday that getting people out to vote isn't his campaign's main goal this year — a message he shared despite the election being just 76 days away. “Our primary focus is not to get out the vote — it's to make sure they don’t cheat," Trump said. "We have all the votes we need, you can see it, every house along the way has signs, Trump, Trump, Trump." He didn't explain what he meant, and it's unclear where Trump is getting the information that he already has enough votes months before the election 'HE Disgusts Me to My Core': Ex-Trump Supporters Explained They’re Now All in For Harris Trump Press Secretary Says Trump Has "No Empathy, No Morals" & "Mocks His Own Supporters" |
TRUMP to Release JFK Assassination Files & Accepts RFK Jr Endorsement
TRUMP Accepts RFK Jr Endorsement and Vows to Release JFK Assassination Files
TRUMP takes stage with Kennedy in Arizona, hours after independent candidate suspends White House bid RFK Jr Suspends Campaign and Backs TRUMP - LEAKED Video of Trump Offering RFK Jr a DEAL The Guardian 24 AUG 2024 https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/7a45f...0&dpr=1&s=none Thug Bozo, and The Snake-Oil Salesman Hours after being endorsed by the third-party candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr, Donald Trump said he would release “all of the remaining documents pertaining to the assassination of John F Kennedy” if he were elected as part of a proposed new commission on presidential assassination attempts, including the one that targeted him. Speaking at a rally in Glendale, Arizona, Trump also pledged that, if elected, he would “establish a panel of top experts” that would work with Kennedy, a prominent anti-vaccine advocate, to investigate childhood health problems. The 13 July assassination attempt on Trump is already being officially investigated, including by the Secret Service and the FBI. Kennedy, the scion of one of the country’s most famous Democratic political dynasties, got a roar of approval from Republicans when he joined Trump onstage at a Republican campaign rally in Glendale, Arizona. “Bobby! Bobby!” the crowd chanted. Kennedy had announced earlier on Friday that he was suspending his third-party campaign for president and endorsing Trump. Kennedy’s vice-presidential pick, Nicole Shanahan, had previously spoken out about the campaign’s belief that staying in the race would result in a victory for Harris, because “we draw votes from Trump”. Kennedy said he would remove himself from the ballots in swing states, where he might siphon electoral college votes from Trump, while staying on the ballot in other states. In a brief speech at the rally, Kennedy said Trump would “make America healthy again” and that he would be a president “who is going to protect us against totalitarianism”. http://cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/asset...-super-169.jpg https://tse2.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.Y...=0&w=215&h=162 SHAME on RFK Jr, & TRUMP is not fit to clean the shoes of the deceased President JFK. https://images.wsj.net/im-829528/social |
Republicans Are Privately Debating How to Accelerate TRUMP EXIT
Republicans Are Privately Debating How Best to Accelerate TRUMP Exit
While Republican lawmakers are publicly rallying around former President Donald Trump, in private many of them are reportedly hoping he goes down in defeat to Vice President Kamala Harris this fall. Nightmare: WARNINGS From GOP Donors- 'Trump is Sending Their Cash Into a Black Hole' MSNRAW 5 SEP 2024 https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=800 Politico's Jonathan Martin reports that "the most fervent private debate" among Republicans right now is "how best to accelerate Trump?s exit to the 19th Hole." Some Republicans believe that they are better off with Trump winning the White House on the grounds that he will be theoretically term limited and thus can be shoved off the stage after 2028. Should he lose to Harris this fall, the thinking goes, "he would once again insist he was cheated and hold out the possibility of a fourth consecutive bid, prolonging the party?s capture." Other Republicans, however, want to have Trump gone as quickly as possible and they think that they could hold off major policy advances by a Harris presidency by retaking the Senate this fall and by having a conservative Supreme Court restrict any objectionable executive orders she issues. "One high-level Republican, conceding it may only be 'wishful thinking,' even floated the idea of a Harris victory followed by Biden pardons of both his son, Hunter, and Trump," reports Martin. "That would take the issue of both cases off Harris? plate and, more to the point, drain the energy behind Trump?s persecution complex so that Republicans can get on with the business of winning elections." Additionally, Republicans tell Martin that they like their chances of winning elections in 2026 much better should Trump not be in the White House. All the same, writes Martin, taking the party back from Trump won't be easy no matter what happens this fall. ?You?re assuming Republicans have a top of the ticket problem and not a voter base problem,? Terry Sullivan, a former GOP strategist, reportedly told Martin. ?It?s not like our leaders have been leading the voters to the wilderness against the voters? judgment.? WARNINGS From GOP Donors - MONEY TALKS - They Have Had ENOUGH https://ci3.googleusercontent.com/me...en=a0.8,r1,t1& Juleanna Glover, the CEO of corporate consultancy Ridgely Walsh, recently took a look at former President Donald Trump's campaign spending reports and delivered a stark warning to anyone who has forked over significant sums to his reelection bid. Writing in the New York Times, Glover makes the case that giving money to Trump is a highly risky investment, given where donors' money has been going. "Anyone who has spent time reviewing Donald Trump?s campaign spending reports would quickly conclude they?re a governance nightmare," she contended. "There is so little disclosure about what happened to the billions raised in 2020 and 2024 that donors (and maybe even the former president himself) can?t possibly know how it was spent." Drilling into specifics, Glover said that an analysis of Trump's 2020 campaign expenses showed that large sums of money went "into a legal and financial black hole reportedly controlled by Trump family members and close associates" and she says that this year's campaign is shaping up to be largely the same. In 2020, notes Glover, roughly two-thirds of all money spent by the Trump campaign was shoveled into American Made Media Consultants, a Delaware-based firm whose first president was reportedly none other than Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of the former president who has since been installed in a leadership position at the Republican National Committee. Given this, it's little surprise that the same pattern that governed the Trump campaign's spending in 2020 is now being replicated this year. "This election, the Trump campaign and four of its PACs have paid Red Curve Solutions, another private company, at least $18 million," writes Glober. "The Campaign Legal Center says Red Curve appears to pay Mr. Trump?s legal bills and then gets reimbursed by the PACs. (The law is murky on what types of legal bills can be paid by campaigns, but some are allowed.) The head of Red Curve also serves as the treasurer for the Trump campaign as well as the affiliated PACs. What percentage of donor contributions go to lawyers defending Mr. Trump? It?s impossible to know.".... 'GET HIM OUT Before We Lose Any More Money'.... |
EVIL TRUMP TRASHED For Smiling & Looking Happy at 9/11 Memorial Event
'Whats Wrong With TRUMP?' Onlookers Stunned as EX-President Smiles & Looks Happy at 9/11 Memorial Event
'It's his kryptonite': GOP operatives said to be trashing Trump behind his back MailOnline 11 SEP 2024 https://dawm7kda6y2v0.cloudfront.net...ma-652x360.jpg Former President Donald Trumps smiles and winks during the Sept. 11 memorial in New York City Wednesday outraged attendees and onlookers who blasted the Republican presidential nominee for a demeanor they dubbed disrespectful. Trump drew much criticism after attending the commemorative ceremony for the 23rd anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks at Ground Zero, and while he was there as well, according to a video clip shared by C-SPAN communications director Howard Mortman. "Where were you for 20 years I've been here?" a ceremony attendee shouted at Trump. "Where were you?" Trump made headlines by refusing to attend in 2021, despite the attendance of three former U.S. presidents, and in 2019 when he began Sept. 11 with a series of tweets complaining about unfavorable polls before heading to the Pentagon. Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine, a Democrat, lambasted Trump's followers for behavior he found inappropriate to the significance of the event. "I?ve been coming to the 9/11 memorial for years. It has always been totally solemn and apolitical," Levine wrote. "But this year Trump is here and there are people in the crowd screaming MAGA talking points." Ex-NBC Universal executive Mike Sington shared an image on X of Trump gazing up into the sky as attendees such as former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Vice President Kamala Harris bowed their heads. https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=665 "A moment of silence in honor of those lost on 9/11," he wrote. "Look at Trump." The New York Times' Michael C. Bender reported to his newspaper that Trump appeared cheerful during surprising moments. "As names of victims were read aloud," Bender wrote, "Trump, who had been mostly stone faced in the presence of Biden and Harris, flashed smiles at the crowd and alternated between a thumbs-up and a pointed index finger before he gathered his entourage and headed for the exit." Geoff Garin, pollster and former strategist to Hillary Clinton, responded to Bender's report on X Wednesday by asking "What?s wrong with Trump?" The Advocate podcaster and comedian Dana Goldberg also professed herself shocked by Trumps cheery demeanor. http://alexasteroidastrology.com/wp-...rump-hell5.jpg "This isnt Trump after a debate or one of his rallies, its him at the 9/11 memorial winking at female photographers," Goldberg wrote.

Iranian Plot to KILL TRUMP For Killing Islamic Commander in 2020
TRUMP Briefed on Suspected Iranian Assassination Plot
US intelligence officials warn Republican nominee of ?specific threats? unrelated to two recent attempts The Guardian 25 SEP 2024 https://socialnewsdaily.com/wp-conte...9625705512.jpg US intelligence officials have briefed Donald Trump about a suspected Iranian plot to kill him, his campaign has said. The briefing, from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), is believed to have focused on a scheme unrelated to two failed domestic assassination attempts against the Republican nominee for president, and came amid reports suggesting that Iran is conducting an ongoing hack against Trump?s campaign. Steven Cheung, the Trump campaign?s spokesperson, said the briefing concerned ?real and specific threats from Iran to assassinate [Trump] in an effort to destabilize and sow chaos in the United States?. He added: ?Intelligence officials have identified that these continued and coordinated attacks have heightened in the past few months, and law enforcement officials across all agencies are working to ensure President Trump is protected and the election is free from interference.? The ODNI confirmed to the Guardian on Wednesday morning that the briefing took place. Trump referred to the briefing in a post on his Truth Social site and predicted that another assassination attempt would be made against him. ?Big threats on my life by Iran,? he wrote. ?Moves were already made by Iran that didn?t work out, but they will try again. Not a good situation for anyone. I am surrounded by more men, guns, and weapons than I have ever seen before?.An attack on a former President is a Death Wish for the attacker!? Intelligence officials were reported to have been tracking an Iranian-backed conspiracy to kill Trump even before the 13 July attempt, which was carried out by a lone gunman, Thomas Crooks, who killed one rally attendee before being killed himself by a Secret Service agent. Investigators have found no evidence that Crooks, 20, was part of a larger plot and have concluded that he acted alone. https://static01.nyt.com/images/2024...okJumbo-v2.jpg The Iranian motivation to kill Trump is believed to stem from a desire for revenge over his decision when he was president to order the US strike that killed Maj Gen Qassim Soleimani, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps? elite Quds force in January 2020. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zBPyiEYL9s |

Internet chatter and Oklahoma arrest of alleged would-be IS attacker indicate terror groups planning The Guardian 21 OCT 2024 https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/e0454...none&crop=none https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-ap.../tk.jpg&w=1440 https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/800/mc...1_70024467.jpg SAVAGES After the FBI arrested an Afghan man in Oklahoma planning an election day shooting on behalf of the Islamic State, the terrorist organization re-entered what has become one of the most chaotic news cycles leading up to a November vote. https://www.cafefuerte.com/wp-conten...03-650x365.png Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, of Oklahoma City admitted to investigators he and a co-conspirator expected to die as IS martyrs as they opened fire on crowds on election day, according to charging documents. Warnings about IS-sponsored or -inspired attacks in the west have intensified in recent weeks. In a statement on the Tawhedi case, the US attorney general, Merrick Garland, remarked there was a continuing need to ?combat the ongoing threat that [IS] and its supporters pose to Americas national security. Ken McCallum, the head of MI5, the UKs domestic intelligence service, described how his agency had one hell of a job managing the threat of the resurgent terrorist organization. Despite the talk from top officials, public perception still remains that IS was defeated or has somehow disappeared. But, experts say, before and after that incident, internal IS talk was anything but quiet: on chat boards and encrypted apps, both supporters and operatives alike have increasingly been discussing attacks on the west and the US homeland. The online conversations are being led by IS-Khorasan (IS-K), the branch based in Afghanistan that was behind the Moscow attack that killed 145 people in March. Khorasan is a reference to an ancient region that includes parts of what is modern-day Iran, Afghanistan and other bordering countries. IS-K has quickly become the most active international force of the terror group, having already carried out the deadly plot in Russia and another in Iran months before it. Days after Tawhedi?s arrest, US officials later confirmed it was an IS-K operative allegedly directing the plot. In a propaganda poster it released in September, IS-K put American targets on notice as top of its hitlist. [IS-K] has recently reiterated its intent to target the US with a poster depicting one of its militants holding a grenade in front of the US Capitol building captioned you are next, said Lucas Webber, a senior threat intelligence analyst at Tech Against Terrorism, a watchdog organization working with government agencies around the world. The Guardian obtained the same poster, which was released online through a known IS-K platform. This is additionally concerning given the branchs mass casualty attacks on Russia and Iran, leaving the United States as the remaining adversary on this shortlist for a successful external operation, said Webber. Webber said the arrest of Tawhedi gave a glimpse into the uptick in attempted stateside plots emanating from IS. For example, earlier this week a Maryland man was charged for supporting IS with the criminal complaint describing his attempt at buying a Kalashnikov assault rifle. Webber continued: This follows a Tajik [IS suspect] arrested in Costa Rica; a central Asian network rolled up in New York City, Los Angeles and Philadelphia; as well as a Canada-based Pakistani national who was allegedly plotting an attack against a New York Jewish center. While IS-K has seized on the tumult in Afghanistan since the Taliban took over in the summer of 2021 and established a base of operations in that country, its broader movement has also been heavily recruiting since the 7 October attacks and the Israeli military operations that followed. Its part of an IS-K recruitment plan targeting young men in the west who cant travel overseas easily. A relative of Tawhedi, who was an Afghan national who came to the US after the fall of Kabul, was charged in France for a similar plot. In one spring issue of Voice of Khurasan, its English-language propaganda magazine, IS-K encourages contacting the organization directly through encrypted communications and being covertly recruited from western locales. https://www.washingtonpost.com/resiz...XO24FRW4HA.jpg IS branches still remain in Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and elsewhere https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/640/cp...5_p073vk59.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlVmQ38cfrE&t=2s |
