Fascists lie. Big lies, small lies. They are disarmed if they cannot lie.
The Fulton Co elections expert shows, again & again, that the FBI agent put allegations into the search warrant affidavit & then failed to disclose investigators’ definitive refutations of them. The only bad intent one can infer is on the part of the FBI agent & any supervising prosecutor(s).
Fulton Co elections expert: “In all 5 areas identified by ... the [search warrant] affidavit, there are a multitude of false or misleading statements or omissions. ... Once ... corrected, the affidavit loses any basis in reality.”

“I am somebody” shaped how millions of us saw ourselves as kids, including me. That message mattered. It still does.

It's simple, ladies. All you have to do is present your driver's license, and present your birth certificate, and sign an affidavit, and submit the affidavit for review, and there's a pretty good chance your vote will be counted. Now stop getting all hysterical.

DHS is shutting down. Why? Because Democrats took an oath of office to uphold the Constitution and ICE is lawless and out of control. We cannot fund an agency that is murdering our citizens, tear gassing school zones, and disappearing legal immigrants.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.
