Democracy is the biggest threat to Democrats, not America

Kamala Harris says ‘democracy’ is biggest national security threat in CBS interview

During the interview on CBS News’ “Face the Nation,” host Margaret Brennan asked her about the one national security threat that keeps her up at night worrying. ​ “​Frankly, one of them is our democracy. There is,​ I think, no question in the minds of people who are foreign policy experts that the year 2021 is not the year 2000​,” she said.

Approximately 75% of our country is in favor of voter ID laws. By a 2-1 margin people prefer our new election laws to focus on security, rather than ease of voting. By nature, in a Democracy our leaders are obligated to listen to the people and pass laws that follow these priorities. 

However, our elected Democrats seem to live in a world of their own creation. One where voter ID should be banned, where security should be replaced with making our elections more like a television singing competition vote, and where the actual concerns of Americans would be increased rather than mitigated.

So all of this Democracy thing, such as one person one vote and making sure that elections are trusted is a big threat. It's not a national one, Kamala, but rather a partisan one.

You still believe the big lie.

Election integrity is the foundation of our Republic and again you don't believe that the last election was the most secure election in history.

The former President fired the director immediately.

The laws are specifically designed to reduce turnout of people who don't support Trump and other Republicans across the country.


She is 100% correct.

1000, people called by Rasmussen don't represent the national voters opinions. But like I posted yesterday afternoon you need help.

RepublicanI had untreated paranoid schizophrenia. A media diet of cable news pushed me into a psychotic break

The TV was talking to me. I was in the midst of a delusion that the news anchors on CNN were operatives of a shadow government run by the Clintons. Every time I crossed the living room of my father's dingy basement apartment, their heads followed me and the news anchors interrogated me about my role in the Russia investigation. I believed "Russia investigation" was really code for a global conspiracy to enslave humanity through mind control. President Donald Trump and the Republicans were secretly working to overturn this shadow government and end the deep state programs. Targets of torture like me would be set free.

I turned the channel to FOX News. They repeated over and over that Hilary Clinton was a criminal. Even though I was a Democrat and had voted for Bill Clinton twice, I mailed in the form to join the Republican Party. Then I faxed evidence to the Russian consulate and sent a letter to the CIA offering to cooperate in the investigation.

What I didn't know I was that I was in the advanced stages of untreated paranoid schizophrenia. I was experiencing a psychotic break from reality.

It all seemed so real.

When I was eventually treated, my psychiatrist explained to me, "With paranoid schizophrenia it's just like "The Bourne Identity" — there are people for you, people against you, and somebody always has to be the villain."

I know what you're thinking — thank God they have medication for these people. Now, I wonder, is the average American so different from me? Are we all susceptible to paranoid thoughts, conspiratorial thinking and bias when executive function in the frontal lobes and our ability to reason are disabled by fear?

Federalizing elections is the complete opposite of election integrity. It would destroy the electoral process.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

Christopher Krebs, the Department of Homeland Security director who had spearheaded a campaign to counter rumors about voter fraud, has been fired, President Trump tweeted on Tuesday.

Trump, in two misleading tweets about the security of the U.S. election, said Krebs' termination was "effective immediately."

The tweets, from Trump's verified Twitter account, were flagged by the social media platform for promoting misinformation.

In response, Krebs tweeted, "Honored to serve. We did it right. Defend Today, Secure [Tomorrow]."

Trump lost the presidential election to President-elect Joe Biden in both the popular vote and electoral vote. Trump had for weeks prior to the election erroneously railed against mail-in voting as being ripe for fraud. The president had encouraged his supporters to vote in person on Nov. 3 — he later complained about the number of absentee ballots that supported his opponent.

Krebs' firing came after his agency, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, last week released a statement calling the 2020 election "the most secure in American history."

It added, in boldface, "There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised."

LIVE UPDATES: PRESIDENTIAL TRANSITIONAs Trump Pushes Election Falsehoods, His Cybersecurity Agency Pushes Back

The CISA campaign, led by Krebs, was originally intended to target foreign interference. However, as the president continued to repeat dangerously misleading information about the security of the election, the agency's focus turned to rebutting many of the rumors and baseless allegations of widespread voter fraud that Trump had promoted from the White House.

A DHS official who has worked with Krebs but spoke on background for fear of retaliation told NPR last week that Krebs' firing would "rock CISA."

"Chris has earned the trust of staff all across the agency," the official said. "He's easily been the most competent and able of any political appointee I've worked with."

In statements Tuesday evening, lawmakers criticized Krebs' ousting. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called the firing a "dangerous and shameful charade." Sen. Ben Sasse said Krebs "did a really good job" and that "he obviously should not be fired."

Senate Intelligence Chair Mark Warner called Krebs an "extraordinary public servant."

JOINT STATEMENT FROM ELECTIONS INFRASTRUCTURE GOVERNMENT COORDINATING COUNCIL & THE ELECTION INFRASTRUCTURE SECTOR COORDINATING EXECUTIVE COMMITTEES

Original release date: November 12, 2020

WASHINGTON – The members of Election Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council (GCC) Executive Committee – Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Assistant Director Bob Kolasky, U.S. Election Assistance Commission Chair Benjamin Hovland, National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) President Maggie Toulouse Oliver, National Association of State Election Directors (NASED) President Lori Augino, and Escambia County (Florida) Supervisor of Elections David Stafford – and the members of the Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Council (SCC) – Chair Brian Hancock (Unisyn Voting Solutions), Vice Chair Sam Derheimer (Hart InterCivic), Chris Wlaschin (Election Systems & Software), Ericka Haas (Electronic Registration Information Center), and Maria Bianchi (Democracy Works) - released the following statement:

“The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history. Right now, across the country, election officials are reviewing and double checking the entire election process prior to finalizing the result. 

“When states have close elections, many will recount ballots. All of the states with close results in the 2020 presidential race have paper records of each vote, allowing the ability to go back and count each ballot if necessary. This is an added benefit for security and resilience. This process allows for the identification and correction of any mistakes or errors. There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.

“Other security measures like pre-election testing, state certification of voting equipment, and the U.S. Election Assistance Commission’s (EAC) certification of voting equipment help to build additional confidence in the voting systems used in 2020.

“While we know there are many unfounded claims and opportunities for misinformation about the process of our elections, we can assure you we have the utmost confidence in the security and integrity of our elections, and you should too. When you have questions, turn to elections officials as trusted voices as they administer elections.”

New coronavirus cases leaped in Florida in the week ending Sunday, rising 332.9% as 124,865 cases were reported. The previous week had 28,841 new cases of the virus that causes COVID-19.

Florida makes Top 10 list where virus is spreading the fastest

Florida ranked ninth among the states where coronavirus was spreading the fastest on a per-person basis, a USA TODAY Network analysis of Johns Hopkins University data shows. In the latest week coronavirus cases in the United States increased 47% from the week before, with 1,388,833 cases reported. With 6.45% of the country's population, Florida had 8.99% of the country's cases in the last week. Across the country, 26 states had more cases in the latest week than they did in the week before.

Christmas significantly disrupted who got tested, how many people got tested, what labs operated and what government agencies reported on time. Some cases and deaths that would have been reported last week might be reported in the coming week, which itself will have testing and reporting disrupted by New Year's. Consequently week-to-week comparisons will be skewed and these numbers will be unreliable even as they're accurate to what states reported.

Catwoman: Another political makeover and Kamala Harris looks even cringier

By Monica Showalter

Like Jocelyn Wildenstein, the famous socialite known as "Catwoman" who's taken too many trips to the plastic surgeon, Kamala Harris has been getting a lot of makeovers.  In her case, they're political.

The results, though, are pretty much the same.

Harris's political handlers in charge of making her over in a bid to get her poll numbers up came up for about the fourth time this year, now with the bright idea of putting Harris as a guest on CBS's Face the Nation.

It didn't go well. 

Q: "What do you see is the biggest national security challenge confronting the U.S.?  What is the thing that worries you and keeps you up at night?"

That's a good beauty-queen question, a question a Miss Universe candidate could handle with aplomb, thrown out there by softball interviewer Margaret Brennan.

It was nothing like the kind of foreign policy question Sarah Palin was ambushed with by Katie Couric back in 2008.

But Harris couldn't even handle it the way a modern beauty queen would, even as that is what is thought to be about her level. 

She handled it like a Saturday Night Live version of a beauty queen, replying with this:

Frankly, one of them is our democracy. And that I can talk about because that's not classified. ... There is I think no question in the minds of people who are foreign policy experts that the year 2021 is not the year 2000. You know, I think there's so much about foreign and domestic policy that, for example, was guided and prioritized based on Sept 11, 2001.

And we are embarking on a new era where the threats to our nation take many forms, including the threat of autocracies taking over and having outsized influence around the world. And so I go back to our point about the need to fight for the integrity of our democracy. In addition, it is obviously about what we need to do in the climate crisis.

What?

What kind of answer is that?  Apparently she's never heard of China, Russia, Iran, the crazed Middle Eastern terrorists, the pirates of the South China Sea, the Latin American big-C red wave, or our unguarded Southern border.  Not even COVID made the cut, although global warming got a mention.

The only external "threat" she sees to the U.S. are voter ID laws, an end to mass junk-mail balloting, citizen-only voting, paper ballots, and an end to Election Day in favor of an extended election season with plenty of margin for un-postmarked ballots to make it into the counting piles after the tallies are released.  Those are what she sees as America's greatest national security threats.  She couldn't find Russia on the map, much less China.

In other words, she considers all the election integrity measures being done by statehouses across the country as America's greatest external foreign threats, which tells you a lot about how she views flyover country: a place to be conquered, not a place to serve.

Now obviously, from that stupid remark, she's marketing something.  Sure enough, that marketing can be found in this editorial from the Wall Street Journal — a Democrat plot to get their voting "reform" through by scrapping the filibuster since they can't persuade Republicans, or even a few Democrats to join them in their quest to seal their permanent power.

That's what Harris is saying and standing for in that crummy response.  The only national security threat she sees is the threat to her own grip on power through the country's free and fair elections.  Me, me, me...just like the plastic surgery–obsessed Catwoman. 

The more they make her over, the worse Harris looks.  If Harris had any sense, she'd stop digging.

A blogger caller predicts Trump will become Speaker, impeach Biden and be 'the first president to serve 9 years'

Roger Amick

December 27, 2021

A Trump-loving CSPAN caller made a bold prediction on Monday about the twice-impeached former president's future in politics.

Specifically, the caller who was identified as "Scott from Washington" predicted that House Republicans would make good on their threat to make Trump Speaker of the House should they win back control next year.

""He will run for Congress and become Speaker," he said. "He will tear up Biden's State of the Union speech. He will impeach Biden and Harris and become president and will be reelected and become the first president to serve 9 years!"

In fact, if Trump became Speaker of the House it will have been because House Republicans elected him, as the Speaker does not have to be someone who is elected to Congress.

Additionally, while a Speaker Trump would almost certainly work to get Biden impeached in the House, his odds of getting Biden convicted in the Senate would be low, as it would require a two-thirds majority to ouster the president.

In Trump's second impeachment, he received 57 conviction votes, including votes from seven Republican senators, but that still was ten votes shy of finding him guilty.

C.H. Truth said...

YOU KNOW JACK SHIT!!!!!!!

Yeah.... Mr Shit was my neighbor growing up. His name was Jack, but everyone called him buddy. I think he probably died by now. He would be close to 100.

What does that have to do with my Math degree and my experience with statistics?

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

Lawyers argued.

Understandably, many Americans have become cynical about the prospects of holding Trump to account. Many fear that Trump has forever damaged what remains of our collective commitment to the rule of law.

But all is not lost. Amid the gloom, there are encouraging signs that Trump may finally be headed for a day of reckoning.

Robert Mueller at the White House, 2012, Wikimedia



The House January 6 Select Committee is diligently investigating the origins of the insurrection, including Trump’s part in inciting the riot at the Capitol that delayed the certification of Joe Biden’s victory. Both Bennie Thompson (D-SC), the committee’s chairperson, and Liz Cheney (R-WY), the ranking Republican, have disclosed that Trump is under consideration for a criminal referral to the Justice Department.

At the same time, state-level investigations against Trump appear to be heating up in New York and Georgia.

While we endure the agonizing wait, investigators have a truly staggering array of potential charges to shift through and analyze. They include:

FEDERAL CRIMES

I. Offenses Related to the Insurrection and the Attempt to Halt or Delay the Certification of the 2020 Electoral College Vote Count.

Inciting an Insurrection, 18 U.S.C. § 2383, maximum penalty: ten years in prison.

Seditious Conspiracy, 18 U.S.C. § 2384, maximum penalty: twenty years in prison.

Conspiracy to Defraud the United States, 18 U.S.C. § 371, maximum penalty: five years in prison.

Obstructing an Official Proceeding, 18 U.S.C. § 1512, maximum penalty twenty years in prison.

II. Offenses Related to the Phone Call Pressuring Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “Find” Enough Votes to Overturn the State’s Election Results.

Depriving or Defrauding the Citizens of a State of a Fair and Impartially Conducted Election, 52 U.S.C. § 20511, maximum penalty: five years.

Conspiracy to Deprive the Citizens of a State of Rights Secured by the Constitution, 18 U.S.C. § 241, maximum penalty: ten years.

III. Offenses Related to the 2016 Election, the Hush-Money Payoffs to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, and the 2017 “Reimbursements” to Michael Cohen.

Conspiracy to Defraud the United States, 18 U.S.C. § 371, maximum penalty: five years in prison.

Campaign Finance Law Violations, 52 U.S.C. § 30109, maximum penalty: five years in prison.

IV. Offenses Related to the Mueller Investigation, and the Attempts to Halt or Otherwise Derail the Investigation.

Obstruction of Justice, 18 U.S.C. §§ 1503, 1505, 1510, 1512, maximum penalty: ten years.

NEW YORK CRIMES

Offenses Related to Private Business Practices.

Falsifying Business Records, New York Penal Law, § 175.10, maximum penalty: four years in prison.

Insurance Fraud, New York Penal Law, § 176.30, maximum penalty: twenty-five years in prison.

Conspiracy, New York Penal Law, § 105, maximum penalty: twenty-five years in prison.

Racketeering and Organized Criminal Activity, New York Penal Law § 460, maximum penalty: twenty-five years in prison.

GEORGIA CRIMES

Offenses Related to the Raffensperger Phone Call

Solicitation to Commit Election Fraud, Georgia Code § 21-2-64, maximum penalty: ten years in prison.

Tampering with a Voter’s Certificate, Georgia Code § 21-2-56, maximum penalty: ten years in prison.

There is no guarantee, of course, that any of this will lead to an actual arraignment.

While in office, Trump was shielded with temporary immunity from federal prosecution as a result of the Justice Department’s longstanding policy against indicting a sitting president. Although that immunity is gone, Trump would nonetheless be protected by the presumption of innocence, just like any other private citizen, were he to be prosecuted now. And it would represent a historic first for a former U.S. president to be charged with a crime. No prosecutors, state or federal, are going to roll the dice unless they are confident that they can prove Trump’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Ultimately, the final calls will be made by three prosecutors: Attorney General Merrick Garland on the federal level; Alvin Bragg Jr., the incoming Manhattan District Attorney in January; and Fani Willis, the Fulton County, GA, District Attorney.

Wikimedia

Thus far in his tenure as the nation’s top law-enforcement officer, Garland has proven to be upright but overly cautious. Willis is viewed by some observers as being overburdened by an enormous caseload of ordinary prosecutions. Bragg is untested.

Whether any of the three prove to be up to the challenge, one thing is certain: It isn’t sufficient to prosecute the low-level rioters who stormed the Capitol. To restore the rule of law, the leaders of the insurrection must be charged and tried. This includes the ringleader of them all—Donald Trump.

In both New York and federal courts, the basic statute of limitations specifies that charges must be brought within five years of the commission of a felony. In Georgia, the general statute is four years.

The clock is ticking. There is no more time to waste. 


Vice President Harris was exactly correct.

How the Capitol Riot Turned a Partisan Congress ‘Toxic’Fallout from Jan. 6 attack fractured House relationships, further undercutting comity; magnetometers serve as daily reminder of threat

By

 

Natalie Andrews and 

Eliza Collins

Updated Dec. 27, 2021 10:38 am ET

WASHINGTON—For four years, Rep. Brad Schneider, an Illinois Democrat, partnered with Rep. Paul Gosar, an Arizona Republican, on a bill to offer leave to parents who have lost a child.

That relationship ended after Jan. 6, when Mr. Gosar objected to certifying the Electoral College results and defended the rioters who broke into the Capitol.

“If you can’t recognize the legitimacy of the election, the legitimacy of the new president and you’re unwilling to stop trafficking in the lies that led us to Jan. 6, then I’m not going to work with you,” Mr. Schneider said. “That was the threshold.”

Mr. Gosar said it was his right to challenge the election results and that it was Mr. Schneider who was engaging in conspiracy theories.

The Wall Street Journal analyzed hours of video and audio from the Capitol riot to better understand how a mob of thousands overran police

“I will not work with toxic individuals who reject fair elections, engage in conspiracies and defamation, and disregard the will of the people,” Mr. Gosar said.


The breakdown in their relationship shows how the bitter partisanship in the House shifted into overdrive after the Jan. 6 riot, when the Capitol was attacked by a pro-Trump mob determined to stop the count certifying President Biden as the winner. There is no evidence of widespread fraud, and audits of millions of ballots in key states affirmed the presidential result.

In interviews with more than four dozen lawmakers and congressional aides, people of all political stripes say the House has become a deeply unpleasant place to work, with simmering ill feeling and a series of ugly incidents fraying remaining bipartisan ties. Today, magnetometers meant to detect weapons beep regularly as House lawmakers enter and exit the chamber, serving as a regular reminder of the attack.

“It’s as bad as I’ve seen it,” said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D., Md.) who first came to Congress in 1981. “The toxic environment has been building for a long, long time before Jan. 6, but Jan. 6 just blew it up in flames,” Mr. Hoyer said in an interview.

‘It’s as bad as I’ve seen it. The toxic environment has been building for a long, long time before Jan. 6, but Jan. 6 just blew it up in flames.’

— House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D., Md.)

Mr. Hoyer was taken with top leadership from both parties to an undisclosed location on Jan. 6, narrowly missing rioters who breached the building. Everyone in the room was upset, he said, and leaders of both parties were determined to finish certifying the Electoral College results that day. But when about two-thirds of the Republicans in the House—including Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy committed tremendous action

Peter Navarro's name hasn't come up much when it comes to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and the last-minute plot to overthrow the 2020 election, but his recently published memoir admits to exactly that.

The Daily Beast revealed Monday that Navarro's book cites Steve Bannon as a cohort in a "hail Mary" attempt to stop the election certification. Further, Navarro confessed that he coordinated with Republican members of Congress to do it. The claim could explain the apology text message that Mark Meadows turned over to the committee reading "I'm sorry" and "we tried."

The co-conspirators even named the mission, calling it "the Green Bay Sweep." When discussing it in an interview with the Beast, he named Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) as officials who helped spearhead the effort.

"We spent a lot of time lining up over 100 congressmen, including some senators. It started out perfectly. At 1 p.m., Gosar and Cruz did exactly what was expected of them,” Navarro told the Beast. "It was a perfect plan. And it all predicated on peace and calm on Capitol Hill. We didn’t even need any protestors, because we had over 100 congressmen committed to it."

"That commitment appeared as Congress was certifying the 2020 Electoral College votes reflecting that Joe Biden beat Trump. Sen. Cruz signed off on Congressman Gosar’s official objection to counting Arizona’s electoral ballots, an effort that was supported by dozens of other Trump loyalists," the Beast recalled.

It's unknown whether the House Committee has caused Cruz and Gosar to testify or requested documents from them. However, Navarro's book may be the catalyst that sparks the subpoenas.

Navarro explained that the goal was to run out the clock to pressure then-Vice President Mike Pence to stop the certification, something he believed he had no power to do. As Pence's book revealed, he had already spoken to former Vice President Dan Quayle (R-IN) about the request.

They thought that the speeches from 100 members would force the media to cover the unproven conspiracy theories about election fraud that were never proven. Instead, thousands of Trump supporters ascended on the U.S. Capitol in a violent attack, sending those same members running for their lives. After returning to the chamber, many avid Trump supporters were unwilling to oppose the election any further.

"The Green Bay Sweep was very well thought out. It was designed to get us 24 hours of televised hearings," Navarro asserted. "But we thought that we could bypass the corporate media by getting this stuff televised."

Bannon allegedly warned on his show that "all hell is going to break loose." But he later tried to correct the record, saying he wasn't talking about the violence but about Pence.

"What I was talking about was Pence. Call the play, run the play. Pence was going to send it back to Arizona. Send it back to Georgia. Send it back to Pennsylvania," Bannon claimed. Bannon never spoke to Pence, who never had any intention of sending the election back to the states, according to his book.

“My role was to provide the receipts for the 100 congressmen or so who would make their cases… who could rely in part on the body of evidence I'd collected,” Navarro confessed to the Beast. "To lay the legal predicate for the actions to be taken."

No massive election fraud effort has been uncovered. Any individual crimes wouldn't have changed any of the outcomes.

"Steve Bannon’s role was to figure out how to use this information—what he called 'receipts'—to overturn the election result. That’s how Steve had come up with the Green Bay Sweep idea," Navarro wrote in his new book. "The political and legal beauty of the strategy was this: by law, both the House of Representatives and the Senate must spend up to two hours of debate per state on each requested challenge. For the six battleground states, that would add up to as much as twenty-four hours of nationally televised hearings across the two chambers of Congress."

When Navarro woke up on Jan. 6 he got a text message from Bannon saying that the Green Bay Sweep was a go. "Call the play. Run the play," the book said.

He also said he was scheduled to speak to the crowds at the Ellipse, but it ultimately wasn't in the cards. Navarro was grateful because he really needed to focus on his attempt to overthrow the election.

"It was better for me to spend that morning working on the Green Bay Sweep. Just checking to see that everything was in line, that congressmen were on board," Navarro confessed. "It was a pretty mellow morning for me. I was convinced everything was set in place.”

Bannon hasn't commented on the fact that Navarro implicates him in his book.

He has been avoiding taxes for decades..like The Godfather and Al Capone

Not like Al Capone (The Godfather is a fictional character and the movie didn’t go into hiding income.

Capone his his illegal income by keeping a dual set of accounting books.

Trump reported all of his income. He used the tax code to avoid paying taxes he’s not legally obligated to pay.

Your bitch is with the state of New York.

The New York tax code is one of the most onerous in the nation. The even force people pay new taxes even though they left the state.

It’s so bad governor Ron DeSantis has set up a fund to help New Yorkers with legal bills to fight New York.

Election integrity is the foundation of our Republic and again you don't believe that the last election was the most secure election in history

If election integrity is the foundation of the Republic, then why not do everything possible to secure the election.

Election integrity required that there be a clear chain of custody of the ballot from voter to clerk/machine counting the votes.

It also requires states to run the the election with as little federal intervention as possible. A centralized federal election system would be vulnerable to cyber attacks.

And then the Russian nightmare will become a reality.
