NBC’s Mark Murray {Eyeroll} produces a midterm media poll {DATA HERE} to frame the 2022 election and claim a tight race for both Democrats and Republicans. Despite collapsing economic numbers, widespread inflation and disapproval on every category, NBC finds the #1 issue for all voters is “The Threat to Democracy.”
NBC’s Chuck Todd gives the spin on the outcome:
.
71% of the country say we are on the wrong track (20% approve).
57% of the country disapproves of the job Biden is doing with the economy (38% approve).
50% of the country says things will get worse (20% think will improve)….
…. But it’s a close election?…
…. And the #1 concern is “the threat to democracy?“
It’s all propaganda.
So they are doing battlespace prep and laying the groundwork for a MASSIVE infusion of fake ballots.
Definitely
Yes.
The punchline that’s going to be reported after the election.
The “voters” defended against the threats to democracy and gave a mandate to the democrats to redouble their climate change efforts.
Also to indict Trump via the J6 committee.
I agree completely. All polling done by leftists and their globalist masters is preconditioning normie headspace for the inevitable vote fraud.
Don’t count out more of those peaceful riots after the election. Sound of drums in the distance.
I’m hoping and dreaming for a MAGA peaceful protest after election day if the dems steal another one. 2 coups of America in 2 years? something has got to give up their lives and the dems have painted a target on their backs for once in our lives they will be the hunted.
“Preconditioning normie headspace”
Perfect phrase!
Thus, the infusion of money from the Dems for America First candidates; they’ve already paid for the printing of the fake ballots. Notice how they’re going with the “record number of early voting” numbers. I hate these people.
Exactly why I’m getting up early, going to the donut shop on November 8th, taking them to the poll workers and voting. Even our low population State had numbers taken from President Trump in 2020.
Swamp ‘em on that day so they can’t cheat. Request a paper ballot and have a blue pen with you. Smile the entire time.
Kustie The Klown: “So they are doing battlespace prep and laying the groundwork for a MASSIVE infusion of fake ballots.”
They know that we know what they are doing. And it isn’t deterring them from doing it one little bit. They have a battle plan for defending their 2022 Big Steal, and they obviously have good confidence their battle plan will work.
Any MAGA Republican in any election oversight role who observes and reports election fraud must be prepared to face the consequences for having done so. This may include suffering acts of violence from Democratic party operatives and facing the prospect of being charged by corrupt local, state, and federal prosecutors with criminal acts of election interference.
At this stage I strongly suspect the only point to this “poll” is to provide cover for the D cheating expected in the coming election.
The thing about cheating is, its a double edged sword.
Yes, it CAN give you an advantage, no doubt.
However, if you are caught, the advantage evaporates, and you are at a DISADVANTAGE that more than offsets the advantage.
Sure, they will TRY to cheat, its ALL they have.
And, in SOME States they will succeed, although it will be obvious.
But, in many the overwhelming MAGA vote WILL thwart their efforts, and MAGA Candidates WILL win.
And just as MAGA Candidates have a 10:1 advantage, One MAGA officeholder is ‘worth’ 10-50 hacks.
The polls mean less than nothing, lets see what the election results show.
its not over – and nothing is “in the bag” – I agree that there will be states that are compromised due to the existing laws on the books. And beyond that, there will be attempts to stuff ballot boxes just like 2020. We can have a second punch line somewhere about the “big lie”. I would not bring out the popcorn – this is serious.
Vote on election day. Voting early only provides the enemy with the margin of fraud needed for victory.
Which is why I am NOT surprised to see that Ronna McRomney is encouraging early voting every time I hear her interviewed. She is the head of the RINOs and does not want to see her power base diluted, IMHO.
VikingMom, I gather from past comments that you live in Washington State. One of my children is now assigned to Fort Lewis near Tacoma. He notes that the prospect of election fraud is a hot topic among those few among his fellow soldiers who dare to talk about the issue, especially about the close Senate race between Smiley and Murry. Are Republicans in your state doing anything at all to counter election fraud?
Unfortunately, the Washington State GOP is a hotbed of partisan factions who have a long history of not “playing well with others”. There is an entrenched old guard, who push for ideological purity tests in a state where their preferred candidate has no chance of winning statewide, and so they dissolve into toddlers in a sandbox rather than coalesce behind someone who would probably get them 90% of what they say they want!
In the Gubernatorial race in 2020, the incumbent, Jay Inslee, was absolutely beatable, both because he is unlikable AND incompetent (although WELL protected by the local media). But the Republicans got into a cat fight in the primary between two men who were NEVER going to be able to beat him, and the State Party let them do it, rather than step in, tell everyone to grow up and get along, and unite behind a well liked, well respected (on BOTH sides of the aisle) State Senator, with a very comprehensive plan and a great ability to connect with voters, which Inslee has NEVER been able to do.
Was there fraud in the 2004 race for Governor between Dino Rossi (R) and Christine Gregoire (D)? Absolutely and the State GOP did a terrible job contesting the election but did Loren Culp lose the race in 2020 because of cheating? No, honestly, I don’t think he did ! There are some districts that have had some questionable results in the past couple of cycles, specifically in the House, and there are some simple steps the Republicans could push for in order to cut down on that, but, having lived here my whole life, I think the fault is with the Party Leaders rather than the Secretary of State!
Thanks. My soldier son is thinking about different places he might like to live once he gets out of the service. Washington State has some appeal to him for its outdoor sports. But he doesn’t want to live in a state run by socialists/communists.
It is an absolutely gorgeous place and there are wonderful things to do outdoors all year long BUT the political climate is beyond frustrating!
I was born and raised here and it was never going to be deep-south Bible Belt red but we used to have moderate, intelligent statesmen for the most part, Republican or Democrat. Now it’s just a partisan mess of insane frothing at the mouth Progressives vs unelectable right wing ideologues who simply refuse to work with anyone who doesn’t believe exactly what they do!
My family is still here and it’s the only place we have ever lived so we will stay for now but I would SO love to see some semblance of sanity return – I know there are many Democrats who feel the same way! Crazies have taken over and we want our state back!
Rigged
The threat to democracy will be the narrative when the fake election results come in. That is because people (domestic terrorists) will be angry when they realize we are all prisoners in our own country.
What they need to realize is that I’m not stuck in this country with them, so much as they are stuck in this country with me, and many others who may just agree with my sentiment.
I wish there was a peaceful solution. If only we had the media. All would be reversed.
I wished a lot of things were different myself. But, I know better about most of them.
There will no peace acceptable to them that does not end with our willing subservience to them, or into chains by means of force.
Make no mistake. They mean to rule.
“We’re all familiar with the fact that the press has historically leaned to the left. That’s not what we’re looking at now. We’re looking at something very, very different. We’re looking at the press as being a part of the intelligence community. They are the ones who is putting these operations out there.”
The “threat to democracy” narrative is straight from the 4th Branch. Their job is to persecute anyone who denies their manufactured crisis which are the foundations for all their lies.
Christians, veterans, patriots, and others are commonly portrayed as domestic violent extremists.
Individualism really rankles them to say nothing of godly principles.
Maybe it’s something about not automatically being submissive to these ones, who are obsessed with their self anointed status in life.
and we mean to misbehave
Would you want to have the presstitutes on your side? They are villains and traitors. No thank you!
Support the alt media infrastructure.
yes, time to f’kc them up Rorschach style
DeSantis looks like an overstuffed fake from the wax museum.
The kitten is adorable.
Throttle down and pound it.
Vote vote vote and break the algorithms
As Bannon has said over & over & over again, “there is NO substitute for victory.”
could it be that they all know the fix is in? Afterall, the stolen 2020 election remains stolen despite massive amounts of evidence proving that slowjoe was selected and not elected
The steal is alive and well
This voting security issue should be every Americans concern, regardless if you are even branded a terrorist or white supremacist. Some of these states still have the ways and means to stuff ballot boxes. Did anyone see the report on New York state with over 3 million questionable voters. States need to clean their voter rolls – The aging voter rolls with questionable voters and dead voters is still open to problems in many states. And this is only one of the problems. Katie Hobbs and the Secretary of State AZ office which she continues to oversee sent out ballots that are potentially geared to assist her “by accident”. Hobbs is overseeing state elections as the incumbent secretary of state while she also sits at the top of the Democratic ticket in the race for governor. How does that even work? At the least she should remove herself from that appointed office while running for governor.
Here in Southern Arizona one of the candidates for Mayor has her name on the posters and makes it appear she is already the mayor. There’s no “For” mayor just says her name and the town’s name and mayor.
Another man who is running for mayor has told the Firefighters here that he will give them a raise so they have signs all over endorsing him. He is a democrat. I don’t know for sure but the endorsement signs seem illegal.
The democrats have been cheating at the ballot box for YEARS. Nary a peep from anybody about it…not even the ‘republicans’ who lost out to the cheat. They’ve been allowed to keep getting away with it to the point we are at now and have fine-tuned it . Anyone who is surprised at the level of in your face cheating we are experiencing now has not been paying attention.
DECADES….at least 6 of them and likely far longer….Boss Tweed and Tammany Hall in NY in the late 1800s had registered instances of cheating by the Dimm/commies…….KKK had as one of its main missions in the South to scare away Black voters on election day that would likely vote R for many years…….Holder dismissed a decided case just awaiting sentencing in Philly where New Black Panther Party (NBPP) members were heavily armed in their paramilitary uniforms outside polling locations that catered to mostly elderly white voters
I do take great joy in knowing how much money was wasted by the Demons for the preprinted ballots of McCormick vs Fetterman
Democrats really believe that BS
A few more weeks left to push narratives.
If the Dems really believe they have the edge, the lazy ones will stay home.
The “threat to democracy” is the latest meme regurgitated by many commenters on media websites and leftist blogs, like J6 is happening every single day. The real threat to this country is that senile psychopath who calls himself “president”, the puppet masters who pull his strings, and the MSM who works hand in hand with the DOJ and the intel community.
One indicator that the “threat to democracy” is everyone’s most ginormous concern is that nobody watched the J6 hearings on TV or seems to be following it, and Liz Cheney got utterly curbstomped in her primary.
Yeah, that’s the ticket!
Prediction: If the democrats keep the House, they will try to run Liz Cheney for House Speaker.
that really IS a Klown comment. House R+ 40-60 seats. Senate +4
So let it be written , so let it be done!
Yes, if ballots are limited to actual legal voters.
that is what I am thinking with as many as 70 House seats and possibly 5 Senate seats
In reality, the real threat to the Republic is from Pelosi, Biden, Obama, Cheney, Kinsinger, Harris, Newsome, Murkowski, Warnock, Omar and numerous other power hungry authoritarian wannabes, their lapdog media talking heads and the drooling idiots who vote for them. MAGA candidates oppose their dismantling of the USA, and are a threat to their status quo.
You skipped the not very visible R’s who are perfectly content with the status quo.
Actually I did not; I mentioned Cheney, Kinsinger, Murkowski “and numerous other…” too many to list.
If the threat to democracy is their election fraud and control of federal government agencies and giant media corporations, I might agree.
Sounds like the most hopeful thing I’ve heard in a couple of years now!
No one in their right mind believes what NBC/MSNBC is pushing.
But wait, the “threat to democracy” as in the destruction of the 1st Amendment in Connecticut?
Plaintiffs’ attorneys in the Alex Jones Sandy Hook trial are now demanding $2.75 TRILLION DOLLARS in punitive damages.
Ridiculous. They are making themselves look like greedy bastards trying to benefit off their children’s deaths.
He doesn’t have trillions and never will.
Absolutely! They’re following the George Floyd family route to riches.
And thus they sully the names of their children and the supposed love they claim to have had for them. The Bible verse of “money is the root of all evil” comes to mind. We are seeing that verse come to mind-boggling life nowadays!
The “Threat to Democracy” is coming from Democrats (like Adam Schiff) AND Republicans (like Liz Cheney).
Democrats have had the midterm steal set and ready to go many months ago . ABC News posted last month that the dem’s would definitely keep the House and Senate .
As long as mail in voting is permitted you can forget it.
Over 1000 Counties in the U.S. have eliminates machines.
And, machines are only ONE part of the cheat.
They can not cheat enough to overcome a landslide, without making it TOO obvious.
Swamp the Vote, to defeat the cheat and there is NOTHING they can do about it.
I get this strange feeling that in about 3 weeks, the Progda MDM-MSM (Misinformation, Disinformation, & Malinformation — Main Stream Media) is gonna make Election Denying Great Again!
Hey Chuck…didn’t you mean to say that the “#1 threat is a loss of your total control of the narrative”?
They are talking to people who think America is a democracy!!! What else would you expect? Lol.
Fake polls. No one believes anything the media says anymore. It’s over.
If they had half a brain, they would quit their jobs and change sides before the music stops.
Knew it. I knew that Wick Insights Pollster was D-friendly.
Like others have said, The Left is probably gearing up to cheat again, BIG TIME if they can get away with it. They’ll have to, if they have any chance whatsoever, because only a brain dead Yellow Dog Democrat would say Biden and his party are doing a good job. And probably only a third of likely voters are that stupid. SO when the Red Tsunami overwhelms them in November, let’s see if they’ll claim The Right cheated and stole the election.
.
It looks like cover for massive election fraud.
.
This is Jake the Snake speaking at the behest of the intelligence apparatus. Sending out coded messages to the election thieves. A total deep state tool.
Tapper Calls for the Gov to Shut Down Internet. He didnt say it directly but claimed that people speaking on alternative platforms were a problem that Congress should deal with, before disparagingly stating they won’t fix it. “You can be forgiven for not thinking Congress is going to the rescue and save us from this conundrum,”
Sounds like Fake Yapper was riffing off of David Rockefeller’s time travel comment where if he could go back in time, he would stop the creation of the internet.
bondo barr, durham finished, and chuck scheibs.
No kidding ?
CIA is losing the narrative!
To many people now know who runs the country, black mail and lies only last so long and that time is passing quickly. They find them compromise them and then install them in certain place like congress the white house and news organizations. Look how many have had to go bye bye over the last few years because of their filthy proclivities.
The biggest propaganda pigs on the planet is the CIA!
Hilldog +12
When I hear the term “Democracy” nowadays …
It’s a giveaway that I am about to hear something —Really Stupid.
I was browsing/lurking on my towns news Facebook page tonight.
Interesting to see in the comments an exchange between a woman and couple of men….about “Our Democracy”. The guys were trying their hardest..in a nice way…to explain we are a Constitutional Republic.
Then another woman piled on – insulting the men on their lack of education and ignorance. Really…..
I have to hand it to the guys they kept their cool and kept trying for quite awhile…..
It was a good reminder to myself on why I will never have a Facebook account.
Seems to be the phrase of the day by Democrats and Liberals…..
I really despise the word democracy, it has been ruined by both parties.
The Founders despised the word democracy as well. That’s why they didn’t give us direct democracy, but rather something much better. Then we threw it away.
a republic is a “democratic form of government” meaning the people GET a vote which is far different than a DEMOCRACY
Deep diving into the poll results show 54% think the Main Stream Media is the greatest threat to Democracy. Another 20+& think the Main Stream MEdia is somewhat of a threat to Democracy. WOW. Talk about burying the lede.
The threat to democracy was what everyone was thinking about at the grocery store yesterday. It was all the chatter in the checkout line. Well, that and racism of course.
FChuck Todd. His viewership according to the ratings is around 2.93 million. I’m proud to proclaim I’m one of the 328 million people in this country that doesn’t watch him.
The emperor’s clothes in this case are thinner than a Walmart bag.
Totally agree with Kustie – prepare for a big disappointment on November 8th. If that becomes true, then we will find ourselves no longer citizens, only subjects. We will be trapped.
Todd’s prepping for the cheat effect.
As the late, great Rush Limbaugh used to say, “Polls are not meant to reflect public opinion, they are made to shape it”. Don’t be fooled …
NBC Pushes Midterm Media Poll LIES
The only threat to democracy is from the Democrats and their desire for a left wing dictatorship.
Did the Republicans try to remove the sitting president with false information used in an impeachment and trial? No
Did the Republicans try to federalize elections while holding both Houses of Congress and the Presidency? No
Did the Republicans try to make a conservative City into a Conservative State? No
Did the Republicans try to make a conservative territory a state with no sister liberal territory? No
Did the Republicans lock up without bail or trials or legally harass opposition party leaders and supporters? No
Did the Republicans try to use irreverent Civil war laws to keep popular Democrats off the ballot? No
Did the Republicans hold a show trial because Hillary Clinton attempted a bloodless coup against the legal sitting President by providing false information for the impeachment? No
Yet the Democrats did all those things.
Todd and his media ilk are a threat to Americs instead of being the guardians the 1st Amendment meant them to be. They don’t believe in actual democracy any more than they believe in free speech.
k
You kniw it’s spin when obama is doing ads for that 50 year old valley girl Katie Hobbsgoblin. LOSER!!!
I would have thought every single person here, including me, agrees that the MOST important issue in this 2022 election is the threat to our democracy. Isn’t the stolen 2020 election part and parcel to that idea?
We, on the Right, see the true nature of that issue because we have a balanced, truthful view.
A burglar and a home owner both agree that home security is a life and death issue.
Hoping I can make my point:
You’re right, they are making “Threat to Democracy” come true. Dems are trained to believe Trump is the threat, all while they openly cheat, which makes Reps believe it too. It’s “heads I win, tails you lose”.
Both sides are yucking this up to be something it isn’t…
The likelihood of the houses swinging parties against the current white house occupier’s party affiliation in a midterm is what? 90% regardless of the party!
Redistricting due the the census made the likelihood of Republicans winning pretty much inevitable…
I’ve been saying this for almost 2 years, we’re watching a repeat of the Tea Party con job pulled in 2010-12… The Right’s News is just as bad as MSNBC’s pole.
Everytime the Republican or Democrats change minorities in the houses the only real losers are us. Republicans have literally prefected this over the last 50 years with their campaigns of convincing voters that… To change the party, you must elect more Republicans to replace Republicans, with more Republicans.
The wisdom of that idea hovers right around the dump I took this morning after last night’s chilli.
Remember, you MUST vote… It changes nothing of the outcome, but the government depends on you making that mental commitment to help enforce your own bias.
Ironically , despite being a Dem fake talking point -“the threat to democracy” ( wink wink – Jan6 )- MAGA voters can agree that this issue “the threat to democracy “ is a true concern for them as well -mainly from a different perspective e.g. censorship of free speech , politicized justice system , attacking political opponents with Stasi type raids , and on and on …ironic that it is really 2 sides of the same coin so to speak ,but with entirely different meanings …
Anytime I hear someone reference “A threat to our democracy”, I know I’m dealing with a political enemy.
We’re a Constitutional Republic and people need to learn and understand the difference.
NBC has been in the propaganda business since the days of radio. Since those days, the thing that television has done for NBC is to allow us to put faces to the names of the propagandists. That may not turn out to be a good thing for the propagandists.
Exactly what is the definition of “threat to democracy”?
Distrust in government? Distrust in media? Distrust in DOJ and FBI? Distrust in military? Distrust in the medical community? Distrust in Border Security? Distrust in education?
Count me in!
and this “historic” midterm election (that the general populace never used to pay attention to) will take 21 days to count, and months of litigation over ballot harvesting, illegitimate ballots, etc.
I am coming to believe the truthful, honest politician is an extremely rare being and may be nonexistent. It’s all about the money and power.
As a side note, if we want a true American Constitutional Republic, we may need to form a new union of states willing to abide by the rule of law, and exclude the liars and cheaters in DC, New York and CA.
All I can say is, it depends on who has the best fraud positioning.

Antrim Michigan Forensics Report
REVISED PRELIMINARY SUMMARY, v2
Report Date 12/13/2020
https://www.depernolaw.com/uploads/2/7/0/2/27029178/antrim_michigan_forensics_report_%5B121320%5D_v2_%5Bredacted%5D.pdf
A. WHO WE ARE
1. My name is Russell James Ramsland, Jr., and I am a resident of Dallas County, Texas. I hold an MBA from Harvard University, and a political science degree from Duke University. I have worked with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), among other organizations, and have run businesses all over the world, many of which are highly technical in nature. I have served on technical government panels.
2. I am part of the management team of Allied Security Operations Group, LLC, (ASOG). ASOG is a group of globally engaged professionals who come from various disciplines to include Department of Defense, Secret Service, Department of Homeland Security, and the Central Intelligence Agency. It provides a range of security services, but has a particular emphasis on cybersecurity, open source investigation and penetration testing of networks. We employ a wide variety of cyber and cyber forensic analysts. We have patents pending in a variety of applications from novel network security applications to SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) protection and safe browsing solutions for the dark and deep web. For this report, I have relied on these experts and resources.
B. PURPOSE AND PRELIMINARY CONCLUSIONS
1. The purpose of this forensic audit is to test the integrity of Dominion Voting System in how it performed in Antrim County, Michigan for the 2020 election.
2. We conclude that the Dominion Voting System is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results. The system intentionally generates an enormously high number of ballot errors. The electronic ballots are then transferred for adjudication. The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, no transparency, and no audit trail. This leads to voter or election fraud. Based on our study, we conclude that The Dominion Voting System should not be used in Michigan. We further conclude that the results of Antrim County should not have been certified.
6. The allowable election error rate established by the Federal Election Commission guidelines is of 1 in 250,000 ballots (.0008%). We observed an error rate of 68.05%. This demonstrated a significant and fatal error in security and election integrity.
15. Significantly, the computer system shows vote adjudication logs for prior years; but all adjudication log entries for the 2020 election cycle are missing. The adjudication process is the simplest way to manually manipulate votes. The lack of records prevents any form of audit accountability, and their conspicuous absence is extremely suspicious since the files exist for previous years using the same software. Removal of these files violates state law and prevents a meaningful audit, even if the Secretary wanted to conduct an audit. We must conclude that the 2020 election cycle records have been manually removed.
That was just a sample of the forensic stuff I have in a voting fraud subdirectory. Here’s some more well known stuff:

[S]election Code (legal freeview from day one -20 Aug 2022)
https://selectioncode.com/
Was 2020 stolen? It’s deeper than that.
You’ve heard it said “Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything.”
What about those who code the vote?
What if our leaders aren’t actually being elected by us, but instead… selected?
[S]ELECTION CODE follows the story of Tina Peters the County Clerk in Mesa Colorado, who made a backup of her counties Dominion Voting System server, only to stumble across evidence of manipulation in a recent local city council election…. and also the 2020 general election. Tina’s discovery ignites a chain reaction upending her life. And upending the world.
You will not be able to unsee what you see.
We stand at an apex in human history. Are we handing too much power to technology – and those that program it?
[S]ELECTION CODE is a political thriller uncovering a secret so critical to the survival of America it transcends political parties. It is not about correcting the past. It’s about correcting the future.
Once you see [S]ELECTION CODE you’ll never again let a machine near your vote.
So, as George Carlin said, go ahead and vote and I’m sure afterwards the country will improve immediately.

Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens [Princeton University, 2014]
https://scholar.princeton.edu/sites/default/files/mgilens/files/gilens_and_page_2014_-testing_theories_of_american_politics.doc.pdf
Excerpts:
A great deal of empirical research speaks to the policy influence of one or another set of actors, but until recently it has not been possible to test these contrasting theoretical predictions against each other within a single statistical model. We report on an effort to do so, using a unique data set that includes measures of the key variables for 1,779 policy issues.
Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence. The results provide substantial support for theories of Economic-Elite Domination and for theories of Biased Pluralism, but not for theories of Majoritarian Electoral Democracy or Majoritarian Pluralism.
In the United States, our findings indicate, the majority does not rule—at least not in the causal sense of actually determining policy outcomes.
When a majority of citizens disagrees with economic elites or with organized interests, they generally lose. Moreover, because of the strong status quo bias built into the U.S. political system [that describes the overwhelming influence of the administrative state and lobbyists – W], even when fairly large majorities of Americans favor policy change, they generally do not get it.
To be sure, this does not mean that ordinary citizens always lose out; they fairly often get the policies they favor, but only because those policies happen also to be preferred by the economically-elite citizens who wield the actual influence.

Cyber Experts Warn Of Vulnerabilities Facing 2020 Election Machines
September 4, 2019
https://www.npr.org/2019/09/04/755066523/cyber-experts-warn-of-vulnerabilities-facing-2020-election-machines
A group of guys are staring into a laptop, exchanging excited giggles. Every couple minutes there’s an “oooooh” that morphs into an expectant hush.
The Las Vegas scene seems more like a college dorm party than a deep dive into the democratic process.
Cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon are being tossed around. One is cracked open and spews foam all over a computer keyboard.
“That’s a new vulnerability!” someone yells.
The laptop that’s drawing the most attention in this moment is plugged into a voting machine that was used just last year in Virginia.
Thanks for posting [S]ELECTION CODE. Great insights to not just a steadfast woman, Tina Peters, just doing her job, but to how crazy/programmed/manipulated these machines are. Just turn them off!
Mike Lindell has been steadfast in exposing the fraud. God bless him! A true Patriot.
watched Selection Code and while it was interesting I found it heavily biased
The “threat to democracy” often repeated by these loons but never explained or defined.
Ugh, nasty little sound bite from Liz Cheney at the very end, encouraging us to basically vote for Democrats.
Cheney can do some damage in the short-run. But she is a speed-bump in the long-run and will be treated as such – by all sides.
Who listens to evil Liz? Not her own constituents, that’s for sure…
Liz has been GREAT,…for the MAGA movement.
Almost as great as Biden, for growing MAGA, think of them as fertiliser, all that bullshirt!
As the J6 hearings are a political stunt to help the Dems, that spot is an “in kind donation”; back when “equal time” was enforced, the network would have had to have a clip of KL, handing out papers downloaded off the i-net, of “150 incidents of Democrats denying the results of elections”.
What ever happened to the “equal time” FCC requirement?
