Lawsuits Against ABC, Newspaper & Pollster to Silence Critics
Trump’s Lawsuits Against ABC News, Newspaper & Pollster appear to be motivated by an effort to Silence and Punish Critics
Trump is pressing his grievances with the media through lawsuits, but his case against the Des Moines Register over poll results he didn’t like is so poorly conceived from a legal standpoint that his real goal of using the court system as an intimidation weapon is hard to miss. Rick Hasen, director of the Safeguarding Democracy Project at UCLA Law, discusses what Trump is up to with Alex Wagner.

Trump Wanted SNL Investigated by the DOJ for Making Fun of Him
Computer Scientists Call for Recount of 2024 Election
Jessica Denson discuses the irregularities of the 2024 election.
Per the above article: An effort to access voting system software in several states and provide it to allies of former President Donald Trump as they sought to overturn the results of the 2020 election has raised “serious threats” ahead of next year’s presidential contest, according to a group of experts who urged federal agencies to investigate.
The letter sent by nearly two dozen computer scientists, election security experts and voter advocacy organizations asks for a federal probe and a risk assessment of voting machines used throughout the country, saying the software breaches have “urgent implications for the 2024 election and beyond.” The breaches affected voting equipment made by two companies that together count over 70% of the votes cast across the country, according to the letter.
“The multistate effort to unlawfully obtain copies of voting system software poses serious threats to election security and national security and constitutes a potential criminal conspiracy of enormous consequences,” the group wrote in a letter sent to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, special counsel Jack Smith, FBI Director Christopher Wray and Jen Easterly, director of the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. “We must protect our most sacred tenet of democracy — the security of our vote.”
The full extent of who received the bomb threats is not clear. None are believed to have been deemed credible. NBC News compiled a list of 67 locations in 19 counties, based on local news reports and state and local election officials’ statements, all of which appear to have received similar threats. Of the 67 locations, 56 were in 11 counties that voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 election, including the eight most populated. Those high-population Democratic counties include voting locations for Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Detroit, Michigan; Phoenix, Arizona; Atlanta, Georgia; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Maricopa County, Arizona, which Biden won by a slim margin, has consistently been the subject of election denialism conspiracy theories. The other five — Michigan’s Wayne County, Pennsylvania’s Philadelphia County and Georgia’s DeKalb, Fulton and Gwinnett counties — were some of the largest Democratic strongholds in their respective states.
Computer Scientists: Breaches of Voting System Software Warrant Recounts to Ensure Election Verification – Free Speech For People
A group of computer security experts have written to Vice President Kamala Harris to alert her to the fact that voting systems were breached by Trump allies in 2021 and 2022 and to urge her to seek recounts in key states to ensure election verification.
Per the above article: “A group of computer security experts have written to Vice President Kamala Harris to alert her to the fact that voting systems were breached by Trump allies in 2021 and 2022 and to urge her to seek recounts in key states to ensure election verification. Vice President Harris argues that this extraordinary and unprecedented breach in election system security merits conducting recounts of paper ballots in order to confirm computer-generated tallies. The letter also highlights the fact that the post-election audits in many key states will be conducted after certification and after the window to seek recounts closes, and that therefore recounts should be sought promptly.
The letter states: “Possessing copies of the voting system software enables bad actors to install it on electronic devices and to create their own working replicas of the voting systems, probe them, and develop exploits. Skilled adversaries can decompile the software to get a version of the source code, study it for vulnerabilities, and could even develop malware designed to be installed with minimal physical access to the voting equipment by unskilled accomplices to manipulate the vote counts. Attacks could also be launched by compromising the vendors responsible for programming systems before elections, enabling large-scale distribution of malware.”
“In December 2022 and again in 2023, many of us, concerned by the security risks posed by these breaches, wrote to the Attorney General, FBI Director, and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Director outlining the security concerns and urging an investigation. Though there have been limited, localized investigations, there is no evidence of a federal investigation to determine what was done with the misappropriated voting software.”

Election Day bomb threats overwhelmingly targeted Democrat-leaning counties
Bomb threats sent to polling places in at least five battleground states Tuesday targeted mostly Democratic counties, an NBC News analysis has found.
Per the above NBC News article: “The FBI said in an emailed statement Tuesday that “many” of the threats “appear to originate from Russian email domains.” Some additional threats appeared to have been sent from a French service, a U.S. official briefed on the matter told NBC News”.
TEXT OF LETTER SENT TO VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS BY COMPUTER SCIENTISTS
November 13, 2024
The Honorable Kamala Harris
The White House Office of the Vice President
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20500
Dear Vice President Harris,
We write to alert you to serious election security breaches that have threatened the security and integrity of the 2024 elections, and to identify ways to ensure that the will of the voters is reflected and that voters should have confidence in the result. The most effective manner of doing so is through targeted recounts requested by the candidate. In the light of the breaches we ask that you formally request hand recounts in at least the states of Michigan, Nevada, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. We have no evidence that the outcomes of the elections in those states were actually compromised as a result of the security breaches, and we are not suggesting that they were. But binding risk-limiting audits (RLAs) or hand recounts should be routine for all elections, especially when the stakes are high and the results are close. We believe that, under the current circumstances when massive software breaches are known and documented, recounts are necessary and appropriate to remove all potential doubt and to set an example for security best practices in all elections.
In 2022, records, video camera footage, and deposition testimony produced in a civil case in Georgia1 disclosed that its voting system, used statewide, had been breached over multiple days by operatives hired by attorneys for Donald Trump. The evidence showed that the operatives made copies of the software that runs all of the equipment in Georgia, and certain other states, and shared it with other Trump allies and operatives.
Subsequent court filings and public records requests revealed that the breaches in Georgia were part of a larger effort to take copies of voting system software from systems in Michigan,5 Pennsylvania,6 Colorado7 and Arizona,8 and to share the software in the operatives’ network. According to testimony and declarations by some of the technicians who have obtained copies of the software, they have had access for more than three years to the software for the central servers, tabulators, and highly restricted election databases of both Election Systems & Software (ES&S), and Dominion Voting Systems, the two largest voting system vendors, constituting the most severe election security breach publicly known.
Combined, their equipment counts nearly 70% of all votes nationwide. Ninety-six percent of Arizona voters use Dominion and ES&S equipment; 100% of Georgia voters vote on Dominion machines; 98% of Nevada votes on Dominion voting machines and the remainder uses ES&S; 69% of Michigan voters’ ballots are counted on Dominion or ES&S equipment; 89% of Pennsylvania voters ballots are counted on Dominion or ES&S equipment; ES&S counts 92% of North Carolina ballots; and either ES&S or Dominion counts 97% of Wisconsin votes.
Possessing copies of the voting system software enables bad actors to install it on electronic devices and to create their own working replicas of the voting systems, probe them, and develop exploits. Skilled adversaries can decompile the software to get a version of the source code, study it for vulnerabilities, and could even develop malware designed to be installed with minimal physical access to the voting equipment by unskilled accomplices to manipulate the vote counts. Attacks could also be launched by compromising the vendors responsible for programming systems before elections, enabling large scale distribution of malware.
In December 202212 and again in 2023,13 many of us, concerned by the security risks posed by these breaches, wrote to the Attorney General, FBI Director, and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Director outlining the security concerns and urging an investigation. Though there have been limited, localized investigations,14 there is no evidence of a federal investigation15 to determine what was done with the misappropriated voting software.
Other relevant parties have pointed to the serious risks posed by the misappropriation of the voting software. Before it was known that partisan operatives had taken the software, Dominion Voting Systems objected vehemently to providing its software to the same partisan actors who ultimately got copies through voting system breaches, stating that to give its software to biased actors would cause “irreparable damage” to the “election security interests of the country.”
Before the breaches in Georgia had been confirmed, the Georgia Secretary of State’s chief information officer testified that having copies of the software would provide a “road map” to the ways the system could be accessed. The Georgia Attorney General opposed providing copies of the software to lawyers for the Trump campaign in a late 2020 election challenge, arguing that images of the voting system software would provide “the keys to the software kingdom.”
Notably, U.S. elections are potentially resilient because there are paper ballots recording the voters’ intent in most states, meaning that even if the voting system is at risk, the will of the voters can be determined reliably by recounting the paper ballots by hand (although we are aware that not all paper ballots are verified by the voter, and not all states take adequate care to protect the ballot chain of custody.)
Audits will be conducted in some of the most scrutinized states, but in key states they will not be conducted in a timely way that could reveal any concerns with the vote count. In addition, in most states the audits are insufficiently rigorous to ensure any potential errors in tabulation will be caught and corrected, and they cannot be considered a safeguard against the security breaches that have occurred. Specifically, Georgia’s audits are non-binding, and Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin laws do not provide that the audit be conducted before certification. Therefore, it would be impossible to know for these critical states if the audits uncovered errors or miscalculations before the state deadlines to seek recounts.
Among swing states, only Arizona’s audit laws ensure that, if enough discrepancies are identified, the audit hand count will be expanded to correct a potentially incorrect result. In other words, aside from Arizona, in contested states, there is no legal mechanism for the audit to correct the outcome, no matter how much error the audit uncovers. Given these facts, the only guarantee for rigorous, effective audits of the vote in the swing states will be through candidate-requested statewide hand recounts.
The facts around the voting system breaches are not disputed; it is well-documented that there were severe, multiple voting security breaches before the 2024 election. To ensure that voters can have confidence that the breaches in security did not taint the results of the 2024 election, we recommend pursuing hand recounts in, at minimum, Michigan, Nevada, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania as they will provide insufficient safeguards against threats posed by the breaches of the election software and will not provide important information in a timely way.
Thank you for your time and consideration of this important matter.

Cyber Security Expert Stephen Spoonamore’s Letter to Kamala Harris about the 2024 Election
November 15, 2024
Honorable VP Kamala Harris
The White House
Office of the Vice President
1600 Pennsylvania Ave
Washington DC 20500
Dear Madam Vice President.
This is my second Duty to Warn Letter regarding hacking of the 2024 Presidential Election. The first letter on November 7 was directed to Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Officials. Both warnings are made per DNI Clapper’s 2015 directive to all agencies and contractors associated with intelligence and financial agency technologies to warn of suspicions of hacking.
Professionally I have worked as the CEO or CTO at seven high technology firms including two which specialized in hacking and counter-hacking operations. My clients have included numerous governments DoD, DHS, Dept. of State, F100 Financials and F500 Industrials.
I am a lifelong Republican who has long placed service and participatory democracy over party. In government, I have twice been invited to SoCom to give lectures on electronic warfare and techniques to find terrorist money laundering and gave a keynote speech of the National Counterintel Summit on this same topic. I served as an after-action reviewer of communications and data failures on 9/11 under the direction of Jim Woolsey and FDNY Commissioner Scopetta, and later co-wrote multiple hacking risk analysis of Smart Grid technologies for the Obama administration.
You should reverse your concession, call for both a full investigation of criminal activity and demand hand recounts in all seven swing states.
In my professional view there are multiple and extremely clear indications the Presidential vote was willfully compromised.
I wholly agree with the public letter of Duncan Buell, et. al. of Nov. 13th stating they believe there is a possibility of hacking and calling for hand-recounts.
This letter’s clear call to action is commendable, but its cautious tone may belie the severity of what I believe has happened. In my view it is a near certainty the results have been changed at a scale which reversed the US Presidential Election. They imply there is a chance a hand-recount will show you won more votes. I am stating a hand recount will most likely show you did win. Both letters call on you to act.
In my view, a capable and skilled series of exploits, electronic tools and hacks were used to change the Presidential vote in all seven swing states. These activities have reversed the outcomes in at least Arizona, Michigan, North Carolina, and Wisconsin. I will lay out the basics of the attack, starting with unusual elements within the results. I will then outline two processes which could have been followed to insert these false results into the system. Finally I will outline how I would recommend investigating.
Unusual elements within the results.
The results of the attack are improbable in the extreme and well tailored to the sole benefit of your opponent.
Approximately 600,000 votes are for Donald Trump but with no down ballot choices. These are either inserted “bullet ballots” for the Presidential race or manipulated data fields. They are surgically added to totals in limited jurisdictions and within only the seven swing States. This historically unprecedented set of numbers found in the 2024 swing states is absent in every other state. In AZ, MI, NC and WI the effect of these drop-off votes reverses the voters’ will and even more improbably always pushes the winning margin beyond the mandatory recount numbers.
It is a result too perfect for belief. It is a bespoke and programmed outcome. In other states including PA and NV, removing these strange and bespoke added votes, it appears Donald Trump may have won the cast votes but within a margin which would force recounts. The inserted votes raise his totals, to avoid any scrutiny during mandatory recount results which would have slowed his claim on the Presidency. In GA and FL the same pattern exists with unclear impact on the results.
This attack is not technically difficult. It is modest in scale. It would require:
Modest and common computer programming skills.
Access to 10-100 tabulators or to the handful of facilities programming them in advance.
A credible database of voter IDs of non-voters around which to create false ballots.
Perhaps as few as 1, but more likely 3-5 human program managers.
Access to eBollBook Data during the election to determine who had not voted.
(Possibly) Human access to some tabulators during counting.
If I was asked to lead this hack, I would expect to have a core team of 6-10 people, and operating costs under $10M with a timeline of 3-12 months.
The tell: A historically absurd number of Trump-only bullet ballots or undervote ballots.
There are always a handful of voters who cast a vote in one race which they care about, and do not make other selections on the ballot. These are called bullet ballots. In Presidential Races since 1980, these bullet ballots rarely account for more than 1% of the total votes including in Mr. Trump’s winning 2016 election and losing 2020 election, and when they do it warrants further investigation. In 2024 in the 43 non-swing states, bullet ballots make up a nominal >1%. In the seven swing states the numbers are so high to be unbelievable, unprecedented and demanding of further investigation. Here is analysis from totals as of late Nov. 12th
Here are the unprecedented results of drop-offs in the two western swing states:
AZ – 123K+ 7.2%+ of Trump’s total vote. Enough to reverse the outcome.
NV – 43K+ 5.5%+ of Trump’s total vote. Enough to exceed recount threshold.
It is my belief these two states have illegally added votes.
For comparison, examine Trump’s 2024 results in three states which border AZ and NV. They have equally passionate Trump supporters, but have the normal levels of drop off or bullet ballots.
ID <2K 0.03% of Trump’s total.
OR <4K 0.05% of Trump’s total
UT <1K 0.01% of Trump’s total.
In the case of Idaho and Utah, Mr. Trump was a run-away winner and had no need to add votes. In the case of Oregon, Ms. Harris was a run-away winner and adding votes to Trump’s total would add risk without adding value.
The same pattern of large numbers of drop-off votes or bullet ballots exists in the totals of MI, NC, PA, WI.
North Carolina is the most extreme. The public results indicate over 350K voters cast a ballot for Trump and no other race making up over 11% of Trump’s voters in NC drop off votes or bullet ballots.
Hack Part 1: Creating the pool of bullet ballot voters.
There are two possible methods to execute this attack. The simple version would only manipulate electronic totals and hand-counting the target precincts would discover this. The second involved ePollbook hacking and introducing bullet ballots. This would add the need to compare the ePollBook timestamps to find possible bad actors or other sources for these anomalous votes.
When Mr. Musk announced his $1M lottery for people to go online and sign a pledge to vote for Trump, I became personally suspicious of why such a promotion would be done. I signed up to see what information he wanted and what the pledge actually stated. He did not want to know people’s socials or send them texts. To sign up you had to provide your street address. That was all they cared about. Once they had the people’s names, and street address this would allow for building a pool of ghost voters who could logically be marked for fake ballots, structured in a manner which matched ePollBook and precinct data. You, as a member of law enforcement, understand criminals need certain pre-conditions to act. A database of pledged supporters with street addresses is required for this hack. Law enforcement should immediately find the team of programmers who pulled the lottery data capture. They will find those programmers immediately parsed the data into a system based on voting precincts and created macros to constantly update the pledged lists of who had cast a vote, and who had not. The programmers likely did not know they were working on a system to be used to steal the election. When confronted with that fact, law enforcement would likely gain cooperating witnesses.
Musk’s team used this system to build a list of voters pledged to vote for Trump. This list could also be used to make a ghost-ballot voter list. ePollBook data is nearly always linked to the internet, and in many jurisdictions this link was being made in real time via Mr. Musk’s Starlink or any available wireless network. Throughout the day, Musk’s team could compare existing turnout models to likely outcomes, based on well established voter profile databases vs. the actual voter turnout coming in from the ePollBooks. They would have been able to have a very good estimation in the closing hours of polls how many votes short Trump would likely be at the tabulation level. They would also have exact lists of the pledged voters for Trump and would know who had not shown up. The pledged voters who did not vote, became the bullet ballots. With any network connection to the ePollBooks, or via other compromised connectivity, they could be marked as voted.
Hack Part 2: Matching the tabulation to the ePollBooks.
The exact number of added voters to the ePollBooks as having voted would have to match the tabulation process. This attack could have been done in at least two different ways.
The easiest method to execute phase two, is also the easiest to discover by hand-recount. In a few jurisdictions where the tabulators either had network connectivity, approved or otherwise, or where a person on the team had physical access to the tabulation machine, the Trump votes that were added to the ePollBooks, would need to be added to the tabulators. At which point the ePollBooks and the tabulation totals would match, having been digitally stuffed with demographically credible voters for Trump. But there will be no paper ballot for these votes. A hand-recount will quickly discover the fraud.
As I write this letter, several hundred people are self organizing on Reddit and other forums. They include: data scientists, statisticians, and legal experts. They are examining the precinct level data of every swing state, and by Monday these teams will have lists of many precincts where these historically unprecedented Trump bullet ballots occur. The highest likelihood is that those ballots don’t actually exist. Those votes were electronically created but have no paper. This would be easily proven with a hand recount.
A second possibility involves the same compromise as described above, but is then combined with human ballot stuffing, or ballot substitution, at tabulation to match the epollbook numbers. This possibility is raised as it appears these historically unprecedented bullet ballots fall heavily in a few counties. Maricopa County AZ, seems to be the source of the vast majority, perhaps nearly all, of the AZ bullet ballot voters for Trump. If these ballots were introduced it would require co-conspirators working inside the tabulation center.
I appreciate that many people, even sophisticated people outside this field, think this hack is an impossible task. It is not. Just 8 weeks ago the world watched a vastly larger and more complicated one. Unknown hackers intercepted over 3000 communications devices over 24 months destined for use by Hamas across the entire Mideast. The devices all had additional software, hardware and explosives inserted. The devices were then delivered to users and functioned normally for months until the hackers triggered the inserted series of exploits and explosions.
This hack, the entire world witnessed, was orders of magnitude more complicated than introducing Trump bullet ballots into – at most – 100 tabulation locations. I have personally managed full year long operations in which hundreds of credit card point of sale devices were rebuilt with added hardware and software and inserted in order to discover fraudsters and money laundering. No one knew we were there. The users never were aware. The devices did their normal job processing credit cards for merchants. While they also did a hacked job and helped my team and I root out criminals. The access, technical difficulty, and scale of the election hack I am describing is less than either of these. But the effect is vastly greater, and the FBI has excellent people who could address this very quickly.
Lastly, this hack methodology may or may not have some correlation with the series of Bomb Threats called in by Russian affiliated assets. The use of distraction or diversion of this kind is common. My first thought was, and my thinking remains, these bomb threats were called into tabulation centers and precincts where the hackers had already planned to conduct ghost bullet ballot introductions. I believe they wanted a disruption in the chain of custody, so lawyers could claim after the hacking events that the chain of custody on the ballots was flawed. The creation of the false-argument of a broken custody chain would be used as a pretext to prevent hand recounting, as hand recounting would not match the Trump favorable result. However, by a reverse of that logic, any jurisdiction which was subject to a bomb threat was forced to break standard operating procedure. This alone should be grounds for you to ask for a hand-recount.
Lastly, I have been advised by an attorney that Arizona and Georgia have mechanisms in place for members of the public to demand a recount, but only you have the ability to demand a recount across all the jurisdictions of concern.
A final formal note. This is principally a Duty to Warn letter. It is also a fulfillment of my constitutional oath of office as possibly the lowest level sworn office of public trust in America. I was appointed by my township to serve as a local Parks Commissioner. I am the public appointee to the Mt. Nittany Conservancy, a nature reserve. I have spent the last four years variously overseeing how public funds are spent on sports fields, kids playgrounds, hiking trails, and bike paths. To do this, I must make annual conflict and financial disclosures and I must swear nearly the same oath you did. I am under the sworn obligation to defend our nation against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Which, I am honored to do.
I will continue to investigate with a growing group of volunteers. We are also planning to offer rewards for information. But our efforts to preserve the integrity of this election can not take this to completion. You, and only you, can call for a full hand-recount and engage the vast public resources at your disposal. I can’t. This is all I can do.
Let me know how I can help.

COPY OF LETTER TO PA GOVERNOR JOSH SHAPIRO FROM CYBER SECURITY EXPERT STEPHEN SPOOMAMORE ABOUT THE 2024 ELECTION
Stephen Spoonamore, the data scientist behind a viral “duty to warn” has uncovered results from an analysis of the 2024 election, specifically an inconsistency in bullet ballots
The ‘official’ vote count showing less people voted in 2024 than 2020 should sound Alarms
As motivated as Americans were about this being ‘the most important election in the history of the United States, with reports of ‘Record new Voter Registrations’, including 337,000 attributed to Taylor Swift, stadiums full of supporters at rallies never seen by Joe Biden, Republican voters crossing party lines to vote for Harris, a record number of women voting for Abortion Rights, concerns of Republicans cutting Medicare, Medicaid & Social Security, concerns about Project 2025, it defies logic, reason and common sense that more people voted for Trump than Harris.
Trump saying he was going to be a ‘Dictator on day one’, saying he was going to lock up opponents who criticized him, saying news outlets which criticized him should be shut down, saying people who criticized the Supreme Court should be jailed, a pathological liar who lied over 30,000 times while president, his outrageous, insane conduct, his inciting an insurrection which caused 5 deaths and injuries of countless Capitol Police; it’s beyond belief that a majority of Americans actually voted for Trump, including all 7 Swing States.
To believe that Trump legitimately won the 2024 election, you have to believe the majority of Americans are stupid, unformed, aren’t aware of and/or don’t care about his pathological lying and his lawless, vile, outrageous behavior.
Trump admitted the 2024 election and future elections will be rigged when he said “I don’t need your votes”. “Get out and vote just this time…. you won’t have to do it anymore… we’ll have it fixed so good, in four years you don’t have to vote again”.
VP Harris ignored letters dated 10/13/2024 & 10/15/2024 urging her to recount the votes in Swing States.
Kamala Harris kept saying during the 2024 election ‘When we Fight, We Win’. She is now proving those words to be a empty campaign slogan and has proved she is a COWARD by failing to demand recounts in Swing States.
According to the above article, Harris retreated to a 7 million dollar estate in Hawaii @ $1,300 per night instead of ‘Fighting’ to save our country by ordering recounts as recommended by Computer Security Experts.
If recounts by independent organizations show the 2024 election was hacked & stolen, and Trump is found to be an illegitimate President Elect, VP Harris, Democrats and the Media will be as culpable as Republicans for helping to put Trump in the White House.
POSTS LIKE THESE ARE ALL OVER SOCIAL MEDIA
In 4 years, elections in the U.S. could be like Orban’s Hungary and Putin’s Russia… merely ‘window dressing’ where elections will be rigged for Republicans, who have been subverting Democracy for years by Gerrymandering, Voter Purges and other unscrupulous tactics.
Call the DNC, the White House, Kamala Harris, Tim Waltz and Democrat congressmen and demand a recount
Biden also helped Trump by running for President when polls showed 75% of Democrats didn’t want him to run going back to 2022. An open Primary might have made a huge difference.
Massive Biden Health Cover Up REVEALED
Trump & Cronies Threaten Revenge Against Political Opponents
Trump and his Republican cronies such as Steve Bannon, Mike Davis & Kash Patel have stated plans of Revenge, Retribution & Imprisonment of Political Opponents which would violate Trump’s Oath of Office, the United States Constitution and Citizens Rights.
‘Revenge can be justified’: Trump looks for retribution
‘I would have every right to go after them’: Trump ratchets up calls for revenge against opponents
Trump loyalists go full revenge mode as retribution calls grow louder
Republicans calls for retribution after Donald Trump’s guilty verdict are growing stronger and more specific.
‘We’re going to come and get you’: Former FBI deputy director reacts to Steve Bannon’s threat against him
Ex-FBI deputy director under former President Trump Andrew McCabe, responds to comments from Trump ally Steve Bannon in an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper.
This is more proof that today’s GOP is a LAWLESS, MAFIOSO CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION which must be voted out and defeated.
REPUBLICANS are PISSED OFF that Trump and other Republicans have been held accountable and PROSECUTED for their CRIMES. They never mention what specific “crimes” they intend to prosecute Democrats & political opponents for… (because there aren’t any). Behaving like SPOILED BRATS who are outraged that they got caught attempting to STEAL and OVERTURN the 2020 election, so they want RETRIBUTION and to get even.
Steve Bannon Lays Out How Trump Will Prosecute His Political Enemies
During a recent interview with The New York Times, convicted criminal Steve Bannon explained exactly how Donald Trump is going to go about prosecuting his political enemies if he gets back into The White House next year. Bannon says that they will be picking these people apart “one by one,” and that they are going to use every possible legal avenue to create charges against these enemies.
Marjorie Taylor Greene Demands Republican AGs Start Arresting Democrats
In a post on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter this week, Marjorie Taylor Greene asked why Republican attorneys general are not out there arresting and prosecuting Democrats “for their crimes.” That question answers itself; there are no real crimes to arrest Democrats for.
Trump crony, Steve Bannon making outlandish threats is one of the many reason Trump and his insane Fascist criminals MUST be defeated in 2024
Bannon has been ordered to start his prison sentence July 1st, Trump is being sentenced July 11th and the RNC starts July 15th
Statements by Trump and his cronies include plans to: “Terminate rules, regulations & articles, even those in the Constitution”, invoke the “Insurrection Act” & declare “Martial Law” to Quash Protests, use “Shock Troops” to take over the government, replace 50,000 Federal Employees with Trump loyalists, eliminate Freedom of Speech and shut down media outlets which have been critical of him.
Trump threatened retribution and promised to ‘root out’ those who he thinks are ‘communists, marxists and ‘the radical left’. This means anyone who opposes him.
Trump’s statements prove he intends to violate his Oath of Office, the United States Constitution and Citizens Rights. Trump has proven to be a lawless pathological liar, narcissistic psychopath and a clear & present danger which the RNC is recklessly unleashing onto the American public by enabling, sponsoring and promoting on they’re ticket.
Therefore, the RNC should be Class Action sued to remove Trump as their candidate and pay relocation costs for every American citizen who wants to leave the U.S. if Trump becomes President.
Trump and allies plot revenge, DOJ control in second term
“Trump and his allies have begun mapping out specific plans for using the federal government to punish critics and opponents should he win a second term, with the former president naming individuals he wants to investigate or prosecute and his associates drafting plans to potentially invoke the Insurrection Act on his first day in office to allow him to deploy the military against civil demonstrations.
In private, Trump has told advisers and friends in recent months that he wants the Justice Department to investigate onetime officials and allies who have become critical of his time in office, including his former chief of staff, John F. Kelly, and former attorney general William P. Barr, as well as his ex-attorney Ty Cobb and former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Mark A. Milley, according to people who have talked to him, who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations. Trump has also talked of prosecuting officials at the FBI and Justice Department, a person familiar with the matter said.
In public, Trump has vowed to appoint a special prosecutor to “go after” President Biden and his family. The former president has frequently made corruption accusations against them that are not supported by available evidence.
To facilitate Trump’s ability to direct Justice Department actions, his associates have been drafting plans to dispense with 50 years of policy and practice intended to shield criminal prosecutions from political considerations. Critics have called such ideas dangerous and unconstitutional.
“It would resemble a banana republic if people came into office and started going after their opponents” said Saikrishna Prakash, a constitutional law professor at the University of Virginia who studies executive power”. [source: washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/11/05/trump-revenge-second-term]
Trump says members of Jan. 6 Select Committee should go to jail
Under Republicans “Project 2025” plans, Trump could order his Attorney General to arrest and prosecute anyone for no reason at all. Trump even mentioned this in the above video saying if he had a political rival who was doing well and “beating me very badly I’d say go down and Indict them”. “That means that if I win and somebody wants to run against me, I call my attorney general, I say listen, indict him”.
Glen Beck asks Trump in the above video “if you’re president again, will you lock people up? The answer is you have no choice… because they’re doing it to us”.
This proves Trump is a lawless THUG who plans to “Lock Up” opponents out of spite and retribution if he gets back into the White House.
Andrew Weissmann, former top prosecutor at the Justice Department and Tim Heaphy former lead investigator for the January 6th Select Committee join Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House to discuss real fears held by members and staff members of the January 6th committee that they could be prosecuted for committing no crimes, by Donald Trump should he win the presidency again.
Trump and allies plot retribution campaign against the Biden family, rivals
Sarah Matthews, former Trump White House Deputy Press Secretary and Miles Taylor, former Chief of Staff at the Department of Homeland Security and Rick Stengel, former top official at the State Department join Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House with reaction to current House Republicans beginning to plan how to get retribution on their political opponents should Donald Trump return to the White House.
Trump posted & stated on 11/11/2023; ”We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country that lie and steal and cheat on elections”.
In response to outrage over Trump’s ‘vermin’ comment, his campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung stated about Trump opponents; “their entire existence will be crushed when President Trump returns to the White House.”
March 28, 2024 Steve Bannon stated: “After we’ve won the Accountability Project’s going to start and it’s going to be thorough this time. It’s going to be they’re going to be in prison”.
Clip of Steve Bannon behaving like a TERRORIST saying; ‘we mock your fear, we want your fear’. We want you to be afraid because we are going to be coming after those who oppose Donald Trump and he will be imbued with authority to punish you.
Radical Right Winger Mike Davis, who Trump might make his Attorney General has stated he’d pardon all of the January 6 rioters, toss opponents in ‘the gulag’ and caging migrant kids would be glorious.
Below is the post Davis referenced in the above video about putting Professor of History, Ruth Ben-Ghiat in the “Gulag”. Her crime? Being critical of Trump and calling him out for his Autocrat, Authoritarian, Fascist behavior which she claims is similar to Hitler & Mussolini.
Donald Trump ally lists “potential targets” of investigation
Mike Davis, who has come under scrutiny from the Biden campaign, raised concerns over a new report about anti-Trump analysts.
Per the above article from 4/24/2024: “Mike Davis, an ally to former President Donald Trump, has listed several legal analysts as “potential targets” for investigation if Trump beats President Joe Biden in the November presidential election. According to the article, published Tuesday, the discussions occur weekly and allow the pundits to “intellectually stress-test” Trump’s legal arguments.
Davis highlighted a passage that listed several alleged regular participants—conservative commentator Bill Kristol, Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe, former White House counsel John Dean, conservative lawyer George Conway, MSNBC legal analyst Andrew Weissman, and CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin.
“Potential targets of the Trump 47 Justice Department’s criminal probe of Biden Democrats’ criminal conspiracy against Trump,” Davis wrote, responding to the article.
It remained unclear, however, what these legal analysts would specifically be investigated for, as the Politico article did not raise concerns about any crimes—only that the regular meetings could lead to “groupthink” or feed into concerns “damaging perceptions” about the media.
Davis came under scrutiny from the Biden campaign on Tuesday after it posted a clip to X of him being interviewed by conservative commentator Benny Johnson, discussing the possibility of being Trump’s attorney general.
“During my three-week reign of terror as Trump acting attorney general, before I get chased out of town with my Trump pardon, I will reign hell on Washington, D.C.,” he said.
In a follow-up post, Davis wrote that he is “not going to serve as AG” and “can’t get confirmed.” He also disputed a separate post from the Biden campaign accusing him of saying there will be consequences for Americans who do not support Trump.
As Trump has faced legal investigations at federal, state and local levels, some Republicans have called for investigations into Democrats and the Biden administration, accusing the president of being behind Trump’s prosecutions, though these claims have not been proven.
Trump has described himself to his voters as their “retribution” on the campaign trail”.
Kash Patel, who Trump nominated as his FBI Director recently stated; “We will go out and find the conspirators, not just in government but in the media,” Patel said. “Yes, we’re going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens, who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections — we’re going to come after you.
Trump Henchman Steve Bannon wants “SHOCK TROOPS” to take over the Government
On December 13, 2023 at a Trump rally in Coralville Iowa, Radical Right Wing MAGA Preacher Joel Tenney declared; “This election is part of a spiritual battle. There are demonic forces at play. But judgment is coming. When Trump becomes the 47th president, there will be retribution against all those who have promoted evil in this country.”
The fact is, it’s TRUMP & his followers who are promoting evil by lying about the 2020 election being stolen, then engaged in riots, violence and an insurrection (which caused 5 deaths) to overturn the election because TRUMP is such a Narcissistic Psychopath that he refused to admit he lost.
On “The View” (Dec 6, 2023) co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, who served as White House Director of Strategic Communications for Trump, claimed he wanted to have a member of his own staff ‘executed’ for leaking a story about him going to the bunker during the George Floyd protests.
Three former Trump White House staffers says a 2nd Trump term would be ‘the end of American democracy as we know it’
Trump believes he has Presidential Immunity which gives him a right to do anything he wants and not be held accountable
In an interview with Andy Borowitz from The New Yorker on May 9, 2018, Trump Stated about the United States Constitution; “I’ve seen a lot of bad deals in my life, but this Constitution is a total mess. We need to tear it up and start over. The first thing we do when we pull out of the Constitution is get rid of two of those branches. He also called the First Amendment “something that really has to go. No one in his right mind would put something like that in a Constitution. Russia doesn’t have it. North Korea doesn’t have it. All the best countries don’t have it.”
On November 29 2023, Trump stated that he wants the ‘Federal Government to come down Hard on MSNBC’ for its criticism of him.
Trump & his crony’s statements prove he intends to violate his Oath of Office, the United States Constitution and Citizens Rights on DAY ONE. His claiming he’s only going to be a Dictator for ONE DAY is BS.
Trump Wants To Change Libel Laws So People Can’t Criticize Him
Trump Wanted SNL Investigated by the DOJ for Making Fun of Him
Let’s not forget how Fact Checkers found Trump LIED over 30,000 times while President, so he has no credibility. He did everything possible to stay in office after he lost in 2020. If he gets back in the White House in 2024, he isn’t leaving… he’s made it clear; he wants to be a DICTATOR FOR LIFE.
Trump and those in his potential “administration” have made it clear; they plan on engaging in a reign of LAWLESSNESS and TERROR, where dissenters are arrested, locked up and executed.
The American people should not have to live in fear of a Wannabe Dictator Lunatic becoming President who has threatened retribution against those who refuse to kiss his ass.
In the above video, Dr. John Gartner stated; “If we could construct a psychiatric Frankenstein monster, we could not create a leader more dangerously mentally ill than Donald Trump,” Gartner began. “He is a paranoid, psychopathic, narcissist who is divorced from reality and lashes out impulsively at his imagined enemies. And this is someone who is handling the nuclear codes.”
Former Professor at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Lance Dodes suggested; “He lies in the way anybody who scams people does. He’s tried to sell an idea or a product by telling you something that is untrue. There is also the kind of lie he has that in a way is more serious — that he has a loose grip on reality. We can say that because he lies about things that aren’t that important. I think what that indicates is that he can’t stand an aspect of reality that he doesn’t want, so he rejects it. His grasp of reality, his attention to reality is loose. This is an extremely dangerous trait in a president. It actually makes him unqualified.”
Ted Cruz calls Trump a “Pathological Liar who doesn’t know the difference between truth and lies” and claims Trump “is a narcissist at a level this country’s never seen”.
Even ex-Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan referred to Trump as an ‘Authoritarian Narcissist’. No normal person would lie with impunity like Trump has (over 30,000 times while President), refuse to admit he lost the election, claim he won after he lost, then instigate a coup and insurrection to overturn the election after he lost.
Trump has proven he’s UNFIT to be President. He violated his Oath of Office in 2020 by pressuring Georgia Election officials to ‘find more votes’ and incited an insurrection to overturn / steal the 2020 election.
Trump has also proved to be UNFIT by promising to violate his Oath of Office, the Constitution & Citizens Rights with threats of ‘retribution’… declaring ‘Martial Law’ & the ‘Insurrection Act’ against protestors, eliminating Freedom of Speech and promising to ‘root out’ those who he thinks are ‘communists, marxists and ‘the radical left’. This means anyone who opposes him.
The RNC should be Class Action CLASS ACTION SUED to pay 1 million dollars per family relocation costs for Americans who wants to leave the U.S. if Trump becomes President.

Video title from Youtube: How Bad of A Businessman is Donald Trump? Here’s How
How bad of a businessman is Donald Trump? Two experts, and one person impacted by Trump’s business deals, discuss his record. Marvin Roffman, an analyst, took Trump to court after getting fired for telling the Wall Street Journal that Trump’s plan for the Taj Mahal was financially irresponsible. Trump settled the case and Roffman won financial compensation. Prudence Gourguechon, past president of the American Psychoanalytic Association, argues that Trump views his business partners and even the banks which lend him money as expendable since he can just use them until he gets a better deal. “Donald Trump’s handshake, his signature and his word mean absolutely nothing in Atlantic City,” says Paul Friel, whose father’s cabinetry business was never paid in full for the work it completed on Trump Plaza.

Video Description from Youtube: NYT’s David Barstow, Daily Beast’s Sam Stein, former DOJ spokesman Matt Miller, NBC’s Heidi Przybyla, WaPo’s Ashley Parker and Jennifer Rubin on the in-depth investigation detailing the alleged Trump family tax schemes.
VIDEO TITLE: Is Trump Really A Billionaire?
VIDEO DESCRIPTION FROM YOUTUBE: “Donald Trump claims he’s worth $10 billion. New reporting shows he may not even be worth $1 billion. His four bankruptcies may have kicked him out of the “three comma club.” Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Donald Trump claims a net worth of more than $10 billion and an income of $557 million. But he appears to get there only by overvaluing properties and ignoring his expenses.
POLITICO spoke with more than a dozen financial experts and Trump’s fellow multimillionaires about the presumptive Republican nominee’s latest financial statement. Their conclusion: The real estate magnate’s bottom line — what he actually puts in his own pocket — could be much lower than he suggests. Some financial analysts said this, and a very low tax rate, is why Trump won’t release his tax returns.
“I know Donald; I’ve known him a long time, and it gets under his skin if you start writing about the reasons he won’t disclose his returns,” said one prominent hedge fund manager who declined to be identified by name so as not to draw Trump’s ire. “You would see that he doesn’t have the money that he claims to have and he’s not paying much of anything in taxes.”
Video Description from Youtube: Author of Trump Nation Tim O’Brien was sued by Trump for liable for claiming in his book that Trump is not a billionaire. Mr. O’Brien stood his ground and the suit was dismissed in 2009. Trump appealed and in 2011 an appellate court affirmed the earlier ruling.

Fox’s Bret Baier Protects Trump During Harris Interview
In his interview with VP Harris, Bret Baier proves FOX IS the Republican Propaganda Network by not showing viewers Trump’s ‘enemy from within’ video clip which demonstrates how he wants to jail anyone who disagrees with him and what a threat Trump is to democracy, freedom and our country. Bret Baier further proved he’s biased FOR Trump and Republicans by constantly interrupting VP Harris during the interview.
Not showing despicable & outrageous conduct by Trump and prominent Republicans is essentially lying by ‘omission of the facts’, a tactic FOX hosts such as Sean Hannity routinely engages in to keep their viewer in the dark about the danger Trump and Republicans poses to our country.
Brian Tyler Cohen’s video above exposes Trump threats and Bret Baier shielding FOX’s viewers from the TRUTH about Trump.
The reason ‘half the people in this country is supporting Trump’ (as mentioned by Bret Baier in the above video) is due to FOX and right wing media outlets by not showing viewers Trump’s outrageous, lawless, vindictive, unhinged, wannabe dictator lunatic behavior so viewers remain in the dark about what a dire threat he is to the United States and the world.
The former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Millie said no one has ever been more dangerous to this country than Donald Trump and he is a fascist to his core.
Ex-Trump official fears he would try to use military against US citizens
‘They knew right away’: Mika applauds Harris for exposing Fox News disinformation in real-time
Trump threatens military action against ‘enemy from within’
Trump has called Democrats and others who have opposed or investigated him the “enemy from within”.
Trump is constantly calling Democrats “Radical Left Lunatics” when it’s TRUMP who is the REAL Radical Lunatic. Trump hates Democrats because they refuse to kiss his ass. His claiming Democrats has engaged in ‘election interference’ for prosecuting him for crimes he’s committed is BULLSHIT. He uses the term “election interference” to whitewash and normalize his own criminality, which it appears a large segment of the U.S. population has bought into… ‘hook, line, and sinker’. Democrats has been upholding the rule of law by holding him accountable for his numerous violations of the law and United States Constitution.
As shown in the above video in which Dr. John Gartner stated; “If we could construct a psychiatric Frankenstein monster, we could not create a leader more dangerously mentally ill than Donald Trump,” Gartner began. “He is a paranoid, psychopathic, narcissist who is divorced from reality and lashes out impulsively at his imagined enemies. And this is someone who is handling the nuclear codes.”

Trump & Republicans are constantly calling Democrats ‘Radical Left Wing Democrats‘ when it’s REPUBLICANS who are the one’s who are RADICAL RIGHT WING ANTI-DEMOCRATIC FASCIST AUTHORITARIANS…. passing Anti-Choice Legislation Against Women, forcing 10 year old girls to give birth to her rapists child, no exceptions for rape or insist, turning the U.S. into a Gestapo Secret Police State by Placing $10,000 Bounties on anyone who helps a Women get an Abortion, laws limiting what can be discussed in classrooms with huge fines of $10,000 against teachers for violations, Banning Books, their war on LGB & Transgenders, punishing Disney for exercising their freedom of speech, passing laws which Criminalize Assembly & Protests, Laws Legalizing Running over & Killing Protestors, Rigging Elections by Gerrymandering, Decreasing the number of Days and Hours people can Vote, Purging Minorities off Voters Rolls, Decreasing Drop-boxes, Decreasing Voting Machines in Urban areas, Limiting Polling locations / hours, Making it harder to Vote by Mail, Making it a Crime to give Food or Water to people having the wait in long lines they’re responsible for causing to discourage people from voting, Passing laws to overturn election results they don’t like, Conspiracy Theories, LIES and refusing to eliminate the Electoral College which made two (2) unpopular & unqualified Republicans Presidents, who the majority didn’t vote for (George W. Bush & Trump), voting to cut Healthcare, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
Trump and Republicans are the REAL Fascist
Trump & Republicans use boogeyman phrases like “Socialist”, “Marxist” “Communists” and “Democrats will take your guns away” to SCARE uninformed people into voting for them and NOT voting for Democrats, the very party dedicated to improving lives of the middle class and the poor. Most Republicans couldn’t accurately describe what Marxism, Socialism or Communism means if they’re life depended on it. Scare tactics is Trump’s stock-in-trade, because he has nothing else to offer… he’ll do and say anything to get people to vote for him to stay out of prison.
When Republicans use their old, tired scare tactic campaign slogan that their going to Fight the “Democrats Socialist Agenda”, what they’re really saying is they want to take away your Affordable Health Care, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other programs which benefit the middle class and the poor.
All Republicans care about is maintaining POWER and giving Tax breaks to the RICH so they can stay in power. They do NOTHING for the Middle Class and the Poor. What has a Republican ever done for you and your family?
On Veterans Day, November 11, 2023 Trump stated; ”We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country that lie and steal and cheat on elections”.
Trump posted & stated on 11/11/2023; ”We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country that lie and steal and cheat on elections”.

No mention of what specific “crimes” they intend to prosecute political opponents for (because there aren’t any). They just want RETRIBUTION and to get even for being held accountable for THEIR crimes of attempting to overturn the 2020 election.
Trump and his cronies have openly stated they intend to “terminate rules, regulations & articles, even those in the Constitution”, invoke the “Insurrection Act” & declare “Martial Law” to Quash Protests, use “Shock Troops” to take over the government, replace 50,000 Federal Employees with Trump loyalists, eliminate Freedom of Speech and shut down media outlets which have been critical of him. Trump believes a President should have absolute “Presidential Immunity” to the extent he could order the executions of a political opponent and be immune to criminal prosecution. He’s promised to ‘root out’ those who he thinks are ‘communists, marxists and ‘the radical left’. This means anyone who opposes him.
Trump & his cronies have made it clear they intend to turn the Presidency into a Presidential Dictatorship using plans outlined in ‘Project 2025’, plus seek retribution against political enemies, eliminate Freedom of Speech and shut down news outlets which are critical of him.
Kash Patel, who may be a member of Trump’s administration, stated in the above video; “We will go out and find the conspirators, not just in government but in the media,” Patel said. “Yes, we’re going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens, who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections — we’re going to come after you” when it’s REPUBLICANS who LIED and tried to STEAL the 2020 election.
Steve Bannon stated in the above video: “The evening after we’ve won, the Accountability Project’s going to start. It’s going to be they’re gonna be in prison”
Steve Bannon using threats such as; ‘we mock your fear, we want your fear’. We want you to be afraid because we are going to be coming after those who oppose Donald Trump and he will be imbued with authority to punish you.

Three former Trump White House staffers says a 2nd Trump term would be ‘the end of American democracy as we know it’
The definition of Propaganda is; “information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view”.
If you’ve been watching nothing but Right Wing Media, you’d be shocked by the information they haven’t been reporting which the majority of people see on ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, etc. Right Wing Media outlets spins news so it’s always favorable towards Republicans.
FOX News pundits (and other Right Wing Media outlets) are helping destroy the United States & Democracy by promoting lies, hate, conspiracy theories, omission of the facts, etc to keep their viewers in the dark about the damage Republicans has been doing to the United States, it’s citizens and outright lies such as the 2020 election being “Stolen” and Trump “Won in a landslide”. Example shown on this page.
Strategist for GOP 2008 McCain / Palin Presidential campaign Steve Schmidt explains how Fox News and Rupert Murdoch have destroyed America
The “Fox-Can-Lie Lawsuit” established that they’re not required to be truthful by law. Since Fox has established that they have the legal right not to be truthful, Fox Opinion Hosts are free to tell their Right Wing viewers that Democrats are “Radical Leftist Socialists” who want to take away your guns & freedom, that Republican policies are good for this country, that Trump’s a rational person and the MSM (Main Stream Media) such as ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post etc is “Fake News”. ALL the exact opposite of the TRUTH.
Right Wing media outlets brainwash their viewers into believing the Mainstream Media is “Fake News” so they only watch Right Wing Media sources. This helps them make more money because MORE VIEWERS = MORE PROFITS in advertising. And it helps Republicans get re-elected, against the best interests of middle class and poor Americans. Right-Wing outlets want to KEEP their viewers brainwashed so they never watch legitimate news and learn the truth about the damage Trump and Republicans have been doing to our country while screwing over “the little guy”.

Fox News staffers agree: Fox is not a news organization
Multiple Fox News employees told media reporters that newly released filings from Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against the right-wing network show that Fox prioritizes its prime-time opinion programming over its news division. They echo what past staffers who have left say: Fox is a propaganda network for Republicans.
Per the above article: “Multiple Fox News employees told media reporters that newly released filings from Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against the right-wing network show that Fox prioritizes its prime-time opinion programming over its news division. They echo what past staffers who have left say: Fox is a propaganda network for Republicans”.
Anonymous quotes from Fox staffers show Fox is not a news organization
In response to incendiary revelations in two recent filings released as part of Dominion’s defamation case against Fox News, as well as a host of supplemental exhibits also provided by Dominion, the rift between the façade of Fox’s “news side” and its actual core business as a Republican propaganda outlet has grown into public view.
- A Fox News journalist told CNN that “the opinion folks are probably right in that there really isn’t a lot of love lost between us and them.”
- According to The Daily Beast, a Fox reporter “wondered how [Fox primetime host Tucker] Carlson could continue to work for the company after it was revealed that he was demanding at least one journalist be fired for doing their job.”
- A Fox producer told The Daily Beast: Carlson “acts like the king of Fox. Entitlement. Extremely unprofessional.”
- One Fox correspondent told The Daily Beast: “Honestly, Tucker is a joke, and I don’t know many in the news division that likes or respects him. He makes our jobs harder and way more dangerous.”
- A senior Fox staffer told CNN media correspondent Oliver Darcy that he was correct and “should keep saying” that the Dominion filings made it clear that Fox isn’t a news network.
- A news production staffer at Fox told The Daily Beast that it’s always been “opinion first, news secondary” there: “The news side has always been kind of used as a bit of a shield, a bit of a legitimacy play. And I think that in and of itself is, it’s kind of falling apart now.”
- A Fox producer referenced the criticism of Fox’s reporters revealed in the filings, telling The Daily Beast: “If journalists are being criticized for being hard on the Trump admin or truthfully talking about the election, it’s a form of censorship. The news division is being given less importance.”
- A Fox reporter called out Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott in The Daily Beast’s report for “clearly not looking out for the news side,” adding: “How can we all continue to work for her?! How can anyone watching Fox for news believe that they’re gonna get news if she’s in charge? We are not happy.”
- A veteran Fox journalist told The Daily Beast that “Tucker has publicly attacked and humiliated journalists here at Fox before,” so “it shouldn’t be a surprise that he was trashing us behind the scenes.”
- One Fox correspondent told Brian Stelter, writing for Vanity Fair of the released text messages from Fox’s prime-time opinion hosts: “We thought they hated us, but now we know it in their own words.”
- A Fox staffer told CNN that “people are really shocked and disgusted” by what was revealed in the filings, adding: “Even longtime staffers. You would think after all we’ve been through nothing could surprise us. But this is unprecedented.”
- A Fox reporter told The Daily Beast that the fallout from the filings is “demoralizing, deflating and soul-crushing” to a journalist.
- More than one Fox employee told Stelter “we’re all embarrassed” by the filings’ contents.
Fox staffers in the past have also explained how the network operates like a propaganda outfit rather than a news organization
“This reaction to the contents of the Dominion filings is not the first time current or former Fox staffers have called out the network for being little more than a GOP propaganda shop; Fox veterans Chris Wallace, Carl Cameron, Shepard Smith, and Chris Stirewalt all agreed that Fox’s core business is not news once they left the network. Wallace called it “unsustainable” that Fox questioned the 2020 election results and downplayed the pro-Trump insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Cameron said that “over the years, the right-wing hosts drowned out straight journalism with partisan misinformation.” According to CNN, Smith believed “that his presence on Fox became untenable as opinion shows on the network spread falsehoods that hosts knew were lies.” Stirewalt admitted that Fox became “an arm of a political party” during the Trump years. And there was even more on-the-record criticism of the network from former employees who said they were “increasingly embarrassed by the channel,” which had become “a destructive propaganda machine” during the Trump era”.
Additionally, a September 2019 report from The Daily Beast attributed the following anonymous quotes criticizing the network to then-current Fox staffers:
- “Fox has acted like state media for a long time. This is just one small element to it.”
- “As an employee, I have had concerns about how close Fox has become with the White House and the administration. I don’t think I’m the only person there who has these concerns. …
- With these layoffs in multiple news departments coming just a few weeks before the election, it looks like Fox is more like an extension of this administration, instead of a news network.”
- “The opinion team appears to have won the internal battle” with the news side.
- The leaders of the Fox News website “are not interested in facts. They are obsessed with pitching ‘on-brand’ stories that include Blue Lives Matter, anything antifa-related, anyone who has suffered during BLM protests that can put the protestors in a negative light, anything that threatens Christianity, and anyone who is a Trump supporter who has somehow been wronged.”
- “The Brain Room, in their research, came up with facts that were not used in Fox reports or were in contradiction to what Fox aired. I have to imagine that kind of tension has always existed there, between the fact-checkers and what is often reported.”
- Top Fox executives have “long been unsupportive of real, unbiased reporting. They do not see themselves as a real news operation in the sense that people are doing original work, trying to break stories and get to the bottom of things, wherever the chips fall.”
As shown in the above screen shot from FOX’s Jessee Watters show, the chyron makes the outrageously false claim that “Biden Convicts Trump”, a lie Trump and other Radical Right Wingers has been using to SMEAR, DEMONIZE and make their brainwashed viewers hate President Biden so they’ll vote Republican, against their own best interests.
Trump has been spreading the ridiculous lie that Joe Biden is responsible for Trump being indicted in New York, Georgia, Washington & Miami and has weaponized the government to go after him and engage in “Election Interference”.
There’s not a shred of evidence that Biden has encouraged State or Federal Prosecutors to “go after” Trump.
Why Fox is ‘the most destructive institution in all of American politics’

Trump tries to make his own criminal indictment about Joe Biden
Biden allies, legal experts and strategists say silence may be the best option even in the face of a torrent of Trump attacks.
Per the above article; “When Donald Trump announced to the world Thursday night that he had been indicted on a raft of federal charges, his message was consistent and singularly focused: Joe Biden is using the government to crush his political comeback. That the attorney general appointed by Biden had named a special counsel to helm the investigation — a move intended to insulate the president from a decision to prosecute — was omitted by Trump and the battery of Republican allies who quickly rushed to his defense. And it’s likely to be a nuance lost on voters, as the indictment stokes Republican fears about political bias inside the Justice Department.
Trump’s announcement that he had been indicted began, “The corrupt Biden Administration has informed my attorneys,” going on to call it a “boxes hoax” and “election interference.” Nearly every statement after that continued to invoke the president for his predecessor’s problems. A centerpiece of Trump’s defense is: ‘This is a political prosecution brought against me by the Biden government.
Asked during a news conference Thursday what he could tell Americans to convince them they should trust the Justice Department’s independence, Biden responded that his record in office belies the accusations he now faces.
“You’ll notice, I have never once — not one single time — suggested to the Justice Department what they should do or not do on whether to bring any charges or not bring any charges,” he said. “I’m honest.”
BUSTED! The Dishonest Methods FOX Uses to Make Their Viewers Disrespect and Hate Joe Biden
Fox News was caught red-handed deceptively editing a sound bite to Joe Biden say something he didn’t say. This was another “scandal” they invented to make their viewers hate Joe Biden & Democrats, the very party which stands up for the Middle Class and the Poor.
Fox News laying the groundwork for the next big lie about non-existent fraud
Fox News lies about poll numbers in the above video, claiming Trump is so far ahead that the only way Biden can win is if Democrats rig the election.
Pretty rich when TRUMP paid Hush Money to silence a porn star keep the American people from finding out about his adulterous affairs to influence the outcome of the 2016 election, engaged in a corrupt & illegal smear tactic to destroy Joe Biden as a potential 2020 Democrat candidate by demanding the Government of Ukraine publicly announce investigations of Biden before Military Aid would be released. After learning that he lost the 2020 election, Trump REFUSED to admit defeat and LIED claiming without any proof that the election was ‘stolen’ and he ‘won in a landslide’. Trump demanded Georgia Election Officials “find votes” to help him STEAL the 2020 election. Trump used legal tactics to challenge the election results in 50 lawsuits and when those challenges didn’t work he resorted to inciting his followers to engage in a violent COUP to overturn the 2020 election to stay in power against the will of the people. This violent coup was the final act committed by the most Lawless and Corrupt administration in American History. In addition, lawless congressional Republicans behaved like spoiled brats, voting to overturn the election results in Congress, because they didn’t want to accept the fact they they LOST.
After all of the lawless, rotten behavior Trump and Republicans engaged in, Fox “News” propaganda peddlers have a lot of nerve insinuating ‘Democrats’ might ‘steal’ the 2024 election. These people are ROTTEN to the CORE and have no decency or shame.

Republicans must lie to survive: They have no other choice
From Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump, the path to Republican political success is rooted in profound deception
Per the above article; “The GOP exists to serve the interests of the wealthy and big business that comprise the richest 1%. No party, however, can ever win an election with only 1% of the vote. So to win elections, the GOP must necessarily reach beyond its own wealthy core and attempt to convince a large segment of working people in the 99% to vote for Republicans.
Normally, a political party wins elections by offering policies that benefit the voters. These policies attract the voters who then cast their votes for the political party.
But for the Republican Party, this is not an option. A candidate could not possibly campaign on the policies favored by the 1%. Just imagine the stump speech. “Vote for me and I will slash your health care! In fact, I’ll do even better — I’ll fight like mad to completely eliminate your health care!”
“Vote for me and I will get rid of your pensions! This would save corporations a bundle and boost profits to the shareholders! Screw the workers!”
“Vote for me and I promise to ship your jobs overseas under globalization! The exact same labor can be hired in Asia for only pennies! Hurray!”
The Republican Party is left with only one option. It cannot possibly be honest about its true intentions and actual policies. The working class would never vote for them. Instead, the only option is to lie”.
Right Wing Media has been extremely effective in propagating and reinforcing Republican’s lies to brainwashed viewers.
Proof of how Republican’s policies are bad for working class people is how California Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Larry Elder ran on a platform of eliminating the minimum wage.
Fox News C.E.O.’s Strategy at Center of $1.6 Billion Lawsuit (Published 2022)
Suzanne Scott remade Fox News Media into a lucrative consumer brand. But a defamation suit against the company is a test of her strategy and leadership.
Per the above article from the New York Times; “Since Scott took over the top job at Fox News in 2018, her colleagues said, she has managed from behind the scenes with a simple mantra: Respect Fox’s audience. Often that involves sparing conservative viewers what they don’t want to hear — even when that means ignoring one of the biggest stories of the year.
That strategy has helped Fox News succeed not just as the most-watched cable news network in the country but also as a multibillion-dollar consumer brand with a suite of businesses that, according to a recent company promo for one product, offers fans “The World According to Fox.”
But Scott’s Fox News — a sanctuary for conservatives where few unpleasant facts intrude and political misinformation has spread — also looms large in a case that threatens Fox’s business and possibly Scott herself. She has emerged as one of the central figures in the $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox by Dominion Voting Systems, in which the voting company accuses Fox executives of juicing ratings and profits by repeatedly airing false information about Dominion machines siphoning votes away from former President Donald Trump”.

The reason Republicans can get away with lying more than Democrats is because Republican constituents have been conditioned to not trust the “Liberal Media”. So they are more likely to not question the lies from Republican politicians.
When the news media calls out Republicans lies, average Joe Republican voters feels the ‘Liberal Media’ is picking on the person who’s lying and lets the lies slide.

Trump & Republicans Responsible for ‘Open Borders’
Trump & Republicans are responsible for Open Borders because TRUMP demanded they block Border Security Legislation so he can use “Open Borders” as a campaign issue. Trump demanded Republican do nothing which Biden can get credit for doing which might help hem get re-elected.
Also, since Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2017 to January 3, 2019, when Trump & Republicans had the Presidency, the House of Representatives and Senate… they did NOTHING about the border when they had absolute control of all 3 branches of Government.

Texas Paul calls out Republicans for they’re failure to secure the southern borders while blaming Democrats to score political points
Republicans have a history of blocking important legislation so Democrats will be blamed
On January 20, 2009, the day of President Obama’s Inauguration, Republican Leaders in Congress plotted to obstruct everything President Obama proposed to make his presidency a failure (know as the ‘Caucus Room Conspiracy‘), so he and Democrats would be blamed, so Republicans could re-take Congress and the White House in 2012, with no regard to the damage it would cause to the American people.

Per the above article: “Border security has been a winning issue for Republicans for decades. They use the same fearmongering tactics—saying Democrats want “open borders” and to let violent criminals into our country. Their latest attacks accuse undocumented immigrants of trafficking fentanyl across the border. And these lines of attack seem to be working with voters. A 2022 Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 40% of registered voters trust Republicans more on immigration, an 8 point lead over Democrats.
If Republicans are so strong on border security, why did they just pass a bill that would cut Customs and Border Protection (CBP) funding by 22%?
Republican Debt Limit Bill Defunds the Border
House Republicans have passed debt limit legislation that would freeze Fiscal Year 2024 federal spending at FY 2022 levels. This would mean a 22% cut to non-defense discretionary spending, including a 22% cut to border security funding.
Customs and Border Protection is responsible for monitoring our borders and ports of entry. For years, Republicans have been calling for more money and officers to secure our southern border, but their bill does the exact opposite—it would cut CBP’s budget by $4 billion, resulting in the loss of 2,400 officers. Cuts would also mean over $640 million in border security technology would no longer be operational. This loss of resources would have serious consequences for CBP’s capacity to process migrants at the border and to stop fentanyl and illicit drug trafficking. Republicans claim that we have a border crisis, but their bill would only make things worse.
Biden’s Budget Strengthens Border Security & Cracks Down on Fentanyl
President Biden’s proposed budget includes nearly $25 billion for CBP and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), an $800 million increase from the previous year. His budget includes:
Funds for CBP to hire an additional 350 Border Patrol Agents;
- $535 million for border security technology at and between ports of entry; and,
- $40 million to combat fentanyl trafficking and disrupt transnational criminal organizations.
In addition to border security measures, President Biden’s budget strengthens our immigration system. Addressing the backlog of asylum and immigration applications would help immensely in ameliorating the situation at the border. That’s why the President’s proposal includes:
- $865 million for United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to process the backlog of asylum caseloads;
- $1.5 billion to hire new immigration judges and staff to surge to the border and manage the backlog of cases; and,
- $4.7 billion to help the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) respond to migration swells along the southwest border.
While Republicans are abdicating on border security and immigration, President Biden and Democrats are putting their money where their mouth is. They’re strengthening border security, combatting fentanyl trafficking, and improving the functioning of our immigration system. The next time a Republican Congressman cries “open borders,” ask them why they voted to defund border security.
Myth vs. Truth: Dissecting the Republican narrative about the border
Republicans are clamoring over themselves to blame President Joe Biden for any and every challenge facing America. Nowhere is that more apparent than on the issue of immigration and border security. If you listen to my Republican colleagues, you’d believe Joe Biden single-handedly broke our immigration system and refuses to fix it.
Per the above article: “Republicans are clamoring over themselves to blame President Joe Biden for any and every challenge facing America. Nowhere is that more apparent than on the issue of immigration and border security”.
“If you listen to my Republican colleagues, you’d believe Joe Biden single-handedly broke our immigration system and refuses to fix it. They keep this lie alive by perpetuating a series of myths about Democrats and the border.
It’s time to correct the record.
MYTH: The Biden administration has implemented an “open border” policy that has created chaos at our border with Mexico.
TRUTH: President Biden inherited an immigration system in tatters. The Trump administration cut off legal pathways to citizenship, leaving would-be migrants with fewer lawful methods of entering the country. They cut funding to Central American countries in 2019 as they splurged on an ineffective, costly wall.
It was the Trump administration that tightened sanctions on Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, exacerbating the macroeconomic crises that have led hundreds of thousands to flee and arrive at the southern border. When they pulled the rug out from various, essential assistance programs, they made the problem worse.
But our immigration system has been broken for many decades — long before Joe Biden or Donald Trump took the oath of office. Time and again, Democrats have proposed solutions to fix the immigration system in a reasonable, humane way. And time and again, Republicans have opposed these efforts at every turn.
One might recall that in 2013, House Republicans thwarted comprehensive immigration reform after an agreement was reached in the Senate. Many of those same House Republicans who prevented that legislation from passing are now intent on blaming irregular migration, an issue our country has dealt with for over a century, solely on the Biden administration.
There’s only one problem with their affinity for blaming Democrats — it doesn’t hold up to basic scrutiny. In fact, between December 2022 and January 2023, the Biden-Harris administration halved the number of encounters at the border and reduced the number of Cuban, Venezuelan, Nicaraguan, and Haitian migrants by 97 percent.
MYTH: The Biden administration has ignored the border and is refusing to commit proper resources to it.
TRUTH: The idea that Democrats have ignored the situation at the border and refused to commit resources to solving it is another outright lie. In reality, the Biden-Harris administration and congressional Democrats have surged record levels of funding to the border.
The FY23 government funding package that President Biden signed into law provided Border Patrol with $7.153 billion — a 17 percent increase from the year before. Additionally, the funding package provided $65 million for 300 new Border Patrol agents, $60 million for 125 new personnel at points of entry; and $230 million for technology like autonomous surveillance towers.
House Republicans voted against this historic funding.
MYTH: Biden’s “open border” policies allow undocumented immigrants to flood the country with deadly fentanyl.
TRUTH: Republicans continue to blame vulnerable migrants fleeing violence, hunger, and natural disasters for illicit drug smuggling, but facts are stubborn things. Over 90 percent of fentanyl, and over 80 percent of total illegal narcotics, arrive at legal points of entry—not between them—and are smuggled largely by Americans—not undocumented migrants. In fact, migrants accounted for less than 9 percent of fentanyl trafficking convictions in FY 21, compared to more than 86 percent for American citizens.
In December 2022, CBP seized 4,500 pounds of fentanyl, the largest amount ever recorded. Incredibly, just five of those 4,500 pounds were seized at the border by U.S. Border Patrol. Republicans are focused on 1 percent of the problem, 100 percent of the time.
MYTH: Biden’s “open border” policies have allowed criminals and terrorists to pour over the southern border unchecked, contributing to a spike in crime in America.
TRUTH: Study after study has shown that undocumented immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U.S. citizens. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Alternatives to Detention Program provides a strong example: The latest data from ICE released on Feb. 3, 2023, demonstrated 99.4 percent of immigrants monitored on ICE’s Alternatives to Detention Program attended their court hearings compared to the .6 percent which failed to attend their hearing.
Not all undocumented immigrants are tracked through this program, but immigrants, when paroled into the United States, overwhelmingly are lawful individuals that attend their court hearings. An American Immigration Council report found that over the past 11 years, an overwhelming 83 percent of immigrants attended their immigration court hearings, and those who failed to appear in court often did not receive notice or faced hardship in getting to court.
Republicans who assert the Biden administration is releasing countless dangerous migrants into the country are not only trafficking in xenophobic, anti-immigrant sentiment, but they are also peddling lies that are categorically false.
Republicans must lie to survive: They have no other choice
From Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump, the path to Republican political success is rooted in profound deception
Republicans Must Lie to Survive: They have No Other Choice
Per the above article; “The GOP exists to serve the interests of the wealthy and big business that comprise the richest 1%. No party, however, can ever win an election with only 1% of the vote. So to win elections, the GOP must necessarily reach beyond its own wealthy core and attempt to convince a large segment of working people in the 99% to vote for Republicans.
Normally, a political party wins elections by offering policies that benefit the voters. These policies attract the voters who then cast their votes for the political party.
But for the Republican Party, this is not an option. A candidate could not possibly campaign on the policies favored by the 1%. Just imagine the stump speech. “Vote for me and I will slash your health care! In fact, I’ll do even better — I’ll fight like mad to completely eliminate your health care!”
“Vote for me and I will get rid of your pensions! This would save corporations a bundle and boost profits to the shareholders! Screw the workers!”
“Vote for me and I promise to ship your jobs overseas under globalization! The exact same labor can be hired in Asia for only pennies! Hurray!”
The Republican Party is left with only one option. It cannot possibly be honest about its true intentions and actual policies. The working class would never vote for them. Instead, the only option is to lie”.
