I guess people could just come here and make snarky comments but given it's such a bad look for adults I doubt most people would do that.

The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office has said that since last fall it has received more than 200 tips from people claiming they were victims of or witnesses to fraudulent activity in local elections.

Yet the office has produced only one offense report related to any alleged violations of Kansas election laws since 2020.

“It is the Sheriff’s Office’s statutory obligation to investigate any criminal claim that comes to our office ya ok even lies


Party:
Republican and guess what up for reelection


“And President Trump did not carry our county — first time since 1914 that Johnson County didn’t vote Republican. Yeah, so it’s kinda interesting.”

Hayden, who is serving his second term as sheriff, referred to his own election victory in 2020.

“In fact, you’re looking at a guy — I got 260,000 votes and I got more than both presidential candidates and I’m way down ballot,” Hayden said. “And that bothers me.”

Hayden didn’t tell the crowd that he ran unopposed in 2020, unlike the presidential candidates.

another lying Republican

she casts her vote, as they all
do, to determine how trillions of dollars are spent. She also wore a tax the rich dress

Maybe if people like her paid what they owe, we’d have better finding for badly needed social programs

But that’s the liberal mindset. Spend other people’s money, but don’t ask me to pony up. Everybody else can live under covid lockdowns, everyone else can pay taxes, everyone else can make sacrifices for the environment.

Homeland Security watchdog halted plan to recover Secret Service texts, records show

In early February, after learning that the Secret Service’s text messages had been erased as part of a migration to new devices, staff at Inspector General Joseph V. Cuffari’s office planned to contact all DHS agencies offering to have data specialists help retrieve messages from their phones, according to two government whistleblowers who provided reports to Congress.

But later that month, Cuffari’s office decided it would not collect or review any agency phones,

Cuffari, a former adviser to Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R), has been in his post since July 2019 after being nominated by Trump.


Let me guess nothing to see here either

1st republicans tried to steal a US election

And now they are getting caught trying to cover it up. Once it failed


It’s comical the outrage spewed by Republicans over Benghazi

But this they still insist didn’t happen

Hoping after the midterms they can bury the Truth

Thanks for providing how outraged Republicans and the Benghazi committee were when things got deleted

Benghazi is trivial compared to Trumps coup attempt unless your a Republican supporter of Him

It seems you agree Trump and his supporters had something to hide

But Sunday night in America with. Gowdy a regular on Fox

You won’t hear him say. this is further proof that The secret service or homeland security had something to hide

Because Rinos don’t get paid

more republicans acting badly

Florida’s dark money playbook: How ‘ghost’ candidate scheme revealed secretive political tactics
The mailers featured a stock photo of a Black woman, promised a candidate free from the influence of special interests who would “change the politics in Tallahassee,” and emphasized her focus on social justice, climate change and campaign finance reform.

It was pure fiction.

Iannotti is a white woman who was already planning to move to Sweden. The mailers were designed by Republican strategists in Tallahassee.

The individuals are charged with the scheme to run "ghost" candidates in the state of Florida to benefit 3 Republican Senate candidates.

According to original reporting from the Orlando Sentinel, the purpose of the campaign was to use Iannoti to siphon votes away from Democrat Patricia Sigman to help State Sen. Jason Brodeur, a Republican, win the election. Brodeur won with 50% of the vote, but it is not clear that Iannoti’s candidacy helped Brodeur.

The Sentinel alleges the scheme in Seminole County is similar to one in South Florida, in which a “ghost candidate,” Alex Rodriguez, did succeed in siphoning votes away from the Democratic incumbent, Jose Rodriguez, and helped elect Republican challenger Ileana Garcia by 32 votes.

we don't need election integrity We need republicans to have integrity

The contrast is pretty stark.

Biden and Obama killed al Qaeda’s top leadership. Trump freed 5,000 Taliban. That’s the difference.

And this weekend Trump was at Bedminster kowtowing to his Saudi benefactors and spinning 9/11 conspiracy theories, Biden was authorizing the liquidation of Bin Laden's co-plotter.

Sorta ironic, huh?

This would almost be funny if it wasn't so sad.

President Joe Biden announced that the U.S. killed top al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, who served as Osama bin Laden's No. 2 in the ongoing attacks on the United States. But according to an NBC report from 2020, former President Donald Trump had an opportunity to do the same, but refused because he didn't recognize al-Zawahiri's name.

Reporting in early 2020, NBC News reported that intelligence officials briefed then-President Trump many times about the most worrisome terrorist threats, specifically mentioning al-Zawahri.

Trump would ultimately agree to take out ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and Yemeni al Qaeda chief Qasim al-Rimi. But other of the significant names on the CIA's list were ignored.

Trump "was more interested in a young and less influential figure much farther down the list, according to two people familiar with the briefings, because he recognized the name," the report said at the time.

"He would say, 'I've never heard of any of these people. What about Hamza bin Laden?'" the former official told NBC.

A Pentagon official agreed, noting, "That was the only name he knew."

When Hungary's prime minister, Viktor Orbán, arrived in the U.S. this week, he bypassed the White House and President Biden to pay a visit to a more admiring U.S. president. He caught up with former President Donald Trump at his golf course in Bedminster, N.J.


many in the right wing of the Republican party, Orbán offers a model for electoral success.


They have a funny definition of electoral success ..

most people call it Lying with a dash of Stealing then calling it election integrity



Many Hungarian policies would rankle the American right. Abortion is legal in Hungary, to a point. The state greatly restricts private gun ownership. And the government offers health care to all.

Such distinctions make no difference to fans seeking inspiration from a strong leader


He's fighting for an old white world or old white Europe where, you know, men were men and women were women," "And there were no transgender people or gay people. Or if there were gay people they stayed at home."

Now we know the real reason Republicans love Him

Ted and Victor are a pair, it’s right out in the open what the far right (more main stream republicans now) want.

CPAC admires Orban because
1. He bent the rules, changing his constitution and altering voting laws in order to remain in power, indefinitely
2. He destroyed the independent media; nothing remains but a few websites
3. He doesn't keep his homophobia, his anti-semitism or his racism a secret

4. He moves, walks and talks like a Ruritanian dictator from a movie

They would like to do and be all of these things too

He hates Ukraine for the same reasons Putin does: because Ukrainians actively fought their own illiberal autocrats.

Plus Putin has made a large, secretive investment in nuclear power in Hungary. Corruption is the secret fuel that powers Orban's regime.

I've been saying for months The Cult's model for America is Hungary and a leader like Orban. Their policies align w/Orban's. If they succeed they will never be out of power. They've been on this path for years - think culture wars, election fraud, fake news. It won't end w/Trump.

What really I find scary many here only think my views on this topic are solely driven because they are Republicans . It’s an argument so feeble and absent of any critical thought or historical comparisons

Many Republicans Have completely abandons The example of America the shining city on upon a hill

And are trying to replace it . With white is right and Allahu Akbar

come on! nobody thinks that your opinions are merely partisan politics.

it’s just a coincidence that in your thousands of posts, you have never once agreed with the right or disagreed with the left. zero partisanship there, or when you say the gop are a bunch of white nationalists ( especially now, when the hispanic community is making a meaningful shift to the right).

I'm serious. Just because you've made 7,000 posts and every single one of them, without exception, defends the left and bashes the right, that's no evidence that you're a rabid partisan.

"And get back to me when Democrats try to overturn a national election."

I did get back to you, that's exactly what happened in 2016. But it's always OK when democrats do it! But again, just because everything is OK when the left does it, doesn't mean you're a blind partisan. No sir!

You are your own man, you can think for yourself, which is why no one has any idea how you'll come down on any issue. You're completely unpredictable.

please tell me how this is wrong, specifically…

in 2016, a small number of congressional
democrats used made up charges of cheating in some states, to challenge the outcome of Trumps win, in a desperate attempt to change the course of the election. It never had a chance, but they tried

Tell me specifically what i said, which is wrong.

WDMSO, your definition of “false equivalence” is “everything that makes me look like a hypocrite.”

wdmso: tell
me when democrats ever tried to steal a national election.

jim: according to factual history and this politico article, democrats in the house tried to do exactly that in 2016z

GS; that’s what about ism, because democrats didn’t write it down. ( it can’t be an attempt to steal an election unless it’s written down, everybody knows that.)
