The Bulwark has a Jared Polis / Tim Miller conversation on Trump's visit to Aurora.
‘How Much Do We Want to Give Him Air?’— A Governor Grapples With Trump’s ‘Insanity’
This article basically spells out Trump's business model for Trump Tower and his Miami condo buildings.
“How many units of money laundering do you want?”
Yes. I’ve long believed that these tall Manhattan buildings (and Honolulu condos) are money laundering units. The taxi driver from Azerbaijan who buys a $2 million condo, and then his sister, father, uncle and niece buy four more.
Well, Praise The Lord! Hiedi's crusading to make sure our ballot dropoff boxes are safe, and I'm sure there are no ulterior motives here whatsoever:
what sort of monitoring would be "adequate"?
I'm happy to have Republicans suck volunteers into such a job … one that won't make a scintilla of difference to the outcomes.
I'm obviously cynical, but my gut says she's not interested in adequate monitoring at all, but is interested in spreading narratives about "ballot harvesting" and the vote by mail system in general. Plus, I sort of expect this could put some really lovely characters at certain drop boxes, and I won't be surprised if there are reports of harassment.
Colorado law already requires video monitoring at drop boxes, but I think I read Hiedi or a supporter of hers alleging that the cameras aren't of good enough quality. Maybe she's a closet supporter of busting public budgets so we can buy NASA-grade cameras for every drop box in our 104,000-square-mile state?
If we let the past be our guide, most people committing voter fraud in Colorado were Republicans. ( like 5 over the last 5 years).So put the monitors on drop boxes in heavily Republican areas, and let them monitor their own. Problem solved- you're welcome.
"Trump & Musk: Who owns Whom?" No Mister Nice Blog
It is critical, I suggest , that Democrats everywhere join in dispelling the revisionist history myths currently spread amongst the MAGA faithful.
No falsehood is too incredible for the Trump campaign to proffer. They are trying to convince voters that we had a "peaceful transition of power" in 2020. That is ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE ( sorry for shouting). We had an insurrection by Donald Trump and his supporters…a very violent attempt stop the transition of power.
Misinformation is the big tool in Trumps' tool belt at present. Time for everyone to speak the truth.
I hope those who did not see NBCs' "Meet the Press" this morning get a chance to contrast the opposing interviews of Mike, the talking Johnson, and Liz Cheney. He is quite a toad.
Duke, I did check out MTP this morning. Mike Johnson's weasel-worded refusal to say whether he would certify the election if Trump lost is horrifying.
Liz Cheney as usual was blunt and truthful: " No, we did not have a peaceful transfer of power in 2021."
