Mark Finchem, the GOP nominee for Arizona secretary of state who is endorsed by former President Trump, posted a “Treason Watch List” to his Pinterest account, CNN first reported on Tuesday.
So if I’m first, do I win something?
Something about the audience I can’t quite put my finger on…
Didn’t I just read this story or is it just that the Republicans keep coming up with identical idiots with the same lame-brained conspiracy theories? Hard to tell them apart.
OT but since there’s no comments on the Prigozhin thread; reports indicate that Prigozhin may have been in Wagner Group’s Popasna HQ when a HIMARS missile attack erased the HQ from the map. Keeping an eye on the Osint.
(If you really want to understand the ins and outs of logistics and strategic planning, “Perun” on YouTube is pretty good stuff.)
That’s got to be from Mar-a-Lago, right?
“…conspiracy theories that the Mexican Army was infiltrating the United States and planning a full-scale invasion, alongside Islamophobic posts baselessly claiming that Sharia law was descending upon the U.S. soon…”
Mexican Sharia law is imminent – repeat: Mexican Sharia law is imminent.
(And as soon as the Caliphate of Tijuana is imposed, the Generalissimo Ayatollah is gonna confiscate all our cartoons of President Obama as Hitler!)
time 4 a slushie.
Treason Watch? Somebody get that guy a mirror!
“Didn’t I just read this story or is it just that the Republicans keep coming up with identical idiots with the same lame-brained conspiracy theories? Hard to tell them apart.”
I think you just defined a “cult”. Webster’s puts it his way:
“a relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister.”
or
a misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular person or thing.
“a cult of personality surrounding the leaders”
Some say he wasn’t, but some insist he was, and a few of those report he was likely killed there; e.g., x.com
Prigozhin is one who would fit on a Traitor’s List of all humanity but as far as the AZ SoS candidate goes, every accusation from a MAGAt is also a confession so it makes no difference.
Watch for the mail, coming soon.
So Mr. Finchem is “enemies list - Pinterested?”
It is interesting that the folks with the most evident fascist sentiments seem to be obsessed with justifying their attraction to violence by claiming that their enemies are fascists?
You’re not scared enough, so there’s this to snap you back into that zone.
“Execute drug dealers.”
“Move homeless people to outlying ‘tent cities.”
“Deploy federal force against crime, unrest and protests.”
“Eliminate the Education Department” (but only if you’re as smart as orange)
“Restrict voting to one day using paper ballots.”
And saving the best diktat for last:
“Strip job protections for federal workers.”
We need to support election officials and candidates and lawmakers who support voting rights and respect election results.
We also need to guarantee the candidate who wins the most national popular votes always wins the presidency.
Every vote in every state would matter and count equally as 1 vote in the national total.
State legislators in states with 75 more electoral votes are needed to enact the National Popular Vote bill.
The sheer magnitude of the national popular vote number (more than 7 MILLION more votes in 2020), compared to individual (especially battleground) state vote totals (45,000 more in 3 states), is much more robust against “pure insanity,” deception, manipulation, and, sometimes, crimes.
In 2016, Trump became President even though Clinton won the national popular vote by 2,868,686 votes.
Trump won the Presidency because he won Michigan by 11,000 votes, Wisconsin by 23,000 votes, and Pennsylvania by 44,000 votes.
Each of these 78,000 votes was 36 times more important than Clinton’s nationwide lead of 2,868,686 votes.
States are agreeing to award their 270+ electoral votes to the winner of the most national popular votes, by simply again changing their state’s law.
All votes would be valued equally in presidential elections, no matter where voters live.
There is nothing in the Constitution that prevents states from making the decision now that winning the national popular vote is required to win the Electoral College and the presidency.
It is perfectly within a state’s authority to decide that national popularity is the overriding substantive criterion by which a president should be chosen.
Before anti-democracy Republicans, and new voter suppression and election subversion laws, based on the Big Lie/Big Grift, the system with 2020 election laws meant that the winning 2024 candidate could need a national popular vote win of 5 percentage points or more in order to squeak out an Electoral College victory.
Republicans continue to push to shut down voting methods Trump and 69% of Americans use.
NationalPopularVote
Jeez… the level of projection here.
“What makes us think IT CAN’T HAPPEN IN AMERICA?”
It is. It’s coming from inside the GOP house. THEIR house. Its them.
“Additionally, other posts in the “Thought Provoking” board espoused conspiracy theories that the Mexican Army was infiltrating the United States and planning a full-scale invasion”
There was a segment on CNN yesterday about Americans moving to Mexico City as expats to work from home aka distance employment. The expats interviewed were enticed by the inexpensive rents $800 for a nice modern one bedroom vs $2500 here in the states plus an overall lower cost of living and if you need to get back to the states it’s only a few hours on a plane. Reliable and reasonably priced internet access also figured in. Unfortunately a number of these folks were pushing out as gentrifiers the native Mexico City residents out of their neighborhoods. You can see them grumbling “America isn’t sending their best”.
