Is it for Trump's cult base? Send money?

This reminds me of how Trump kept others from suing him. He was always litigating cases where he owed workers money, to the point where they finally just dropped the case & walked away never being paid.

Or at least she sends the Trump campaign bills, with his track record who knows if she'll ever see the dollars. And it keeps up the illusion that the Trump campaign is doing something so his loyal followers will still send him money.

If they are alleging a conspiracy to interfere in an election, which is a Federal crime, why would they file a lawsuit instead of doing something like requesting an investigation by the FBI?

I'm not a lawyer, but it just occurred to me that all these lawsuits may be bigger bullshit than we thought.

China bought votes from the Governor, who is a Chinese agent. I guess China only wanted Georgian's votes...but then George Soros also sold votes to China. I'm confused

Some Georgians are calling on Trump’s allies to tone down their conspiratorial rhetoric, noting that officials like Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger have received death threats due to their defense of the state’s voting system. At Wednesday’s rally, Powell and Wood did not accept this idea. Wood led a “lock him up” chant against Gov. Kemp and falsely claimed the governor and Raffensperger took bribes from China to rig the election.

Pro-Trump Lawyers Say GOP Governor in Georgia Is a Chinese Agent and Blame George Soros

In a particularly deranged and conspiracy-filled press conference held in Georgia on Wednesday by attorney Lin Wood and Sidney Powell, a former member of Trump’s legal team, the two repeatedly affirmed, without citing any evidence, that Trump not only won Georgia but most other states, including California. They wildly described a massive (and fictitious) international conspiracy involving Dominion voting systems, China, George Soros, the Deep State, and the late Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez collaborating to steal the election from the president.

“It’s 1776 in America again,” Wood, an attorney and Trump ally who is currently representing Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager who shot killed unarmed protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin, shouted with a preacher’s conviction to the crowd gathered in a North Atlanta suburb. He then shouted for George Soros to “get out of our country,” adding “you’re not going to sell our votes to China!” Powell falsely claimed that Georgia’s election was stolen from the president because voting machines manufactured by Dominion Voting systems were rigged to give Biden more votes. She added, without any evidence, that the recount of Georgia’s votes was also a sham and that both state and local election officials have been physically destroying ballots marked for Trump in order to get rid of evidence of voter fraud. Georgia certified its votes on November 20 with backing of its Republican Gov. Brian Kemp and election officials, including Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who is also a Republican. Both Wood and Powell called for Kemp and Raffensberger to resign as the crowd chanted for them to be locked up, with Wood bizarrely claiming that Kemp is a foreign agent working on behalf of China.

Wait, you didn't get your Renminbi?

I got mine many months ago, but not before I recieved my Soros "Big Bucks," and Venezuelan Bolívar with a signed picture of Hugo inside smelling like his signature cologne "Che."

You should have no trouble keeping up with Hugo, especially since he really is moving much slower than a slow-moving hound dog, since he's been dead for over 7 years

or maybe just giving them away? He always has a cameo role. I'm kind of surprised Jane Fonda, and Ted Kennedy aren't there.

It's all about the "dense fund" scam.

I'd prefer to have the FBI do a CI on the USPS obstruction of a federal election.

you might want to step into the lobby and get one. seriously

the FBI, the CIA, the entire intelligence community has spent an inordinate amount of time turning dumpster votes into votes for the Democratic candidate.

Entire law enforcement agencies hate the asshole so much they talked everyone into looking away while voting machines were hacked so Victor Chavez could win all elections he was in.

Hope that helped you out.
