'They're tricking themselves!': Republicans contort election strategy around Trump's Big Lie - Alex Wagner - MSNBC



In addition to draining the RNC of money to fund his legal defense, Donald Trump has tasked his campaign with chasing the ghosts of his inventions about voter fraud instead of more traditional voter outreach efforts. Tim Miller, writer-at-large for the Bulwark, talks with Alex Wagner about Trump's order to "focus on the cheating." - Aired on 05/10/2024.

Who in their right mind -- even Chevron & Exxon CEO's -- would possibly want to fund this criminal defendant's schemes and dupes, nevermind let him anywhere near US nuclear codes.
Talk about a cult!

A seller of US national secrets and a one man wrecking ball of the longest standing democracy in human history. The foreign and corporate disinformation systems that support him are as evil as he is.

Back in 2016 I finally quit watching the news since all they covered was this offensive blowhard rather than those I thought of as legitimate candidates. I couldn't wait for the election to be over so we'd never have to see or hear from him again. And how long has it been now? He still dominates the news because he's facing so many criminal charges - how is he even allowed to run?! He attempted to overthrow the government...

profiteers think they can be richer by backing/using him. If we "get" anything, it's about paid-for wealth and power over humans and democratic politics.

Our job/mission is to stay woke and stop their advancement in every single election cycle.

They (Big Oil, Koch's network, Trump, etc.) care no more for democracy than he, and like him, only care for growing their wealth. With or without him their mission is to capture & run government, to create a fake constitutional and legal facade, with national security counted only as their own security; meanwhile, to perception/fear manage the human population through disinformation.

We have to remember that it's never been just about tsf.
Keep in mind what our Senate MVP has said about the $580,000,000 spent to capture the SCOTUS, to do what tsf and his owner/donors tell them.
