I wonder if Trump rigged the election. It was just too swift.

My husband is angry that people don't think this is obvious! I'm sad that so many Americans were proven to be racist, sexist and greedy. Now everyone will suffer unless they are very rich. Popock and Ben are shining a light on the way through and out of this.

I think it is obvious. Especially given all the Democrats elected down-ballot, and then those same people voted for Trump?

Expand full comment

I don't know how anyone could miss it! Off course it was bloody rigged!!The numbers don't add up! I read in some comments on various channels that some poll workers have made comments that machines flipped votes from D to R. This NEEDS to be investigared!

I totally believe that

I do too, it was *beyond* obvious, what's killing me is, if WE hadn't said the following: "if Democrats were gonna rig the election, why wouldn't they rig the down ballot races?" , they might not have done it. Myself, I think they got to the machines when maga asshats literally let outside people at them in several different locations, what Tina Price went to jail for.

They project A LOT, the purpose of that is to say it first, so the OTHER GUY looks bad when *they* start saying "the machines!" but they DID let outside people at those voting machines, there is no reason to think they could not have tampered with them, I'm not saying they did, just that it IS possible.

We ALL need to remember: with ReTHUGlikkkans every accusation is a confession.

I certainly believe this. He was far too confident and cocky … there was no trace of angst or worry … also the result is crazy. What on earth would make people vote for someone who on SO MANY LEVELS WILL MAKE THEIR LIVES TEN TIMES WORSE ???

It makes no sense.

Harris & Walz worked so well together and terribly hard.

Donald Trump was lazy and crazy …

All of this makes no sense.

So yes Patricia, I do believe he rigged it with his pal Musk , his Russian cronies and various great hackers .

After all, he IS A FELLON !!

So why would we expect honesty !

Expand full comment

Exactly! Common sense should have told people that something was afoot when he didn't make any effort at campaigning. Also his cryptic reference to a "secret" between him and that weasel, Mike Johnson.

Now, what is going to be done about it?

There was a lot of ballots that were thrown out, votes that were stolen there was a campaign of challenging voters rights to vote which means they were taken off the voter rolls and they were not contacted. Millions.

Yes, it was fishy, but we need prep or we’ll be called election deniers/conspiracy theorists.

Expand full comment

uh, Elon Musk and fishy calls between Putin, Musk and Trump? The whole Russian misinformation campaign. The fact that there is no way he won that strongly without cheating because 1--a good bit of the country did not show up, 2--DJT has never won anything honest in his life 3--dude quit campaigning for the last month and was just doing comedy. 4--the shadow government and constant interference during Biden's term with Heritage Foundation and interfering with the Congress. 5--the fact that he is a criminal and caused domestic and foreign threats based on terrorizing the citizens of the US and stealing secret documents from the US. 6--how old is he? and what kind of health?

Hard proof is needed about the results, maybe hand counts, which would be burdensome. I don’t think a list of what happened before the election will cut it.

Expand full comment

Understood, however, it won't matter, because Russia interfered in 2016, and it was put to sleep. Is it hard enough proof that Putin published that Trump owes the people responsible for getting him in office? I am just a lowly pheasant, so I will never know the truth of our government or what people really think.

I agree, I think people are coalescing way too quickly around the reasoning why Kamala and the Democrats failed game and not at all paying attention to the ball. The winning numbers had to be big to avoid challenges and automatic recounts; Lara Trump's team was in the counting rooms this time to make sure the numbers were right before they got submitted; the Election board members already had the the Numbers of Electors prepared from the fake ones they prepared last time; Russian bomb threats that caused evacuations could have enabled tampering of any kind; Trump saying "I don't even need your votes"; Mikes "Secret"...Etc.

I also agree that America has unknowingly Elected a Trojan Horse from the Heritage Foundation. This is their dream come true. Having stacked the Supreme Court, installed their proxies as Elected members of GOP/MAGA Congress, the K street Conservative, Fundamentalist, Nationalists finally have Kontrol.

Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts said, “we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.” on Bannon’s “War Room” podcast.

They will kick Trump to the Curb once he has eliminated the Opposition.

Vance is their Man.

And he is worse than Trump. But Trump only wanted to avoid prison. The real problem is that they are in now, and steps are being taken to dismantle our government as we know it and it will never be the same in my lifetime. And I disagree about unknowingly. I believe they used data science and put the ads in the right places to manipulate. People leave too many breadcrumbs online and also, it's just like us--you can set your settings in your browser to only see the stuff you like and agree with. Thus, Kamala Harris adds can be blocked and unless you knock on doors, there is no way to interfere with the brain washing.

The Dominion Voting machine software was literally stolen and copied in Coffee County, Georgia, in 2021. People were prosecuted for it. But I have never heard who and where those voting machine software copies ended up distributed to.

Elon musk put starlink in swing states, he also had an app that he monitored and called the election 4 HOURS before it was officially called. Joe Rogan said it on his podcast. The election was rigged through cyber attack. Do your research!!!

I like this format ... I believe I will feel more comfortable talking here with our new situation.

I have 2 daughters and 6 granddaughters, ages 3 years to 14 years who need protections from this monster party. Thankfully, I live in California where we have a Democratic Governor .... for now ...

Yes , you are lucky to have Gavin Newsom as Governor as he is already taking steps to fight Donald Trump and Newsom is prepared , constant and tough. He won’t stand for Trump’s nonsense.

Thank you for explaining all these legal laws and terminology. What happens to people like me and millions of seniors living in a red state? I’m on SSDI….Im in Florida where there are millions of seniors on Medicare who are scared of losing their benefits. They’re worried and I as well, Social Security is not an entitlement. We paid into this system and I and them are worried we will go broke. Please explain that to clear this up.

Expand full comment

The same thing will happen to those of us in blue states. They’re called entitlements, but they’re not because, as you pointed out, we’ve paid into them our whole lives. It’s a misnomer.

Expand full comment

I understand it’ll affect everyone. But they were just mentioning blue states and I just wanted to point out everyone in red states that voted for Kamala. I live in Florida and what used to be Trump country, the villages, all voted for Kamala. There was a sea of about 1000 of more golf carts with Harris signs and flags. I just brought up SS and Medicare but was speaking of Project 2025 in general. Will the tie up in courts prevent him from damaging the rest of the country. And yes, it’s misnomer because it’s our money and people depend on it for their retirement.

Expand full comment

It would be great if you would pass that information up the "Official" pipeline.

I think this is very important information regarding the switch that you witnessed in 1,000 previous Trump voters. The reported "Numbers" keep saying that Trump received more Votes than ever before but with so many former Trump voters even making videos strongly announcing they would NOT support him I really don't believe he Won this election legitimately.

I went to the contact pages for the White House, the Department of Justice, VP and several News media to ask them to please investigate at least the Swing State Election Boards, voting & counting sites where "Russian" bomb threats enabled evacuations and the places where Trump said "I don't even need your votes"

If enough of us protest hopefully they will at least investigate.

The "numbers" just do not add up.

There are already many court cases waiting in the wings, so at least some things may be on hold 🤞

Yes, I know that but there are things like Trump and Musk raiding SS and Medicare that are going to bankrupt millions of seniors. I’m also on SSDI. That is not government money. That’s not an entitlement. You pay almost 7% of your gross pay and your employer has to match that. Millions rely on that as part of their retirement and means to survive. Republicans always try to call it an entitlement but it’s not a freebee from the government. And migrants can’t collect that like he said they were, it’s all bullshit. You can’t get SS and Medicare without a SS number which the SS administration keeps track of your earnings. These two a-holes are two POS.

Thank you for taking up the fight. My Mom was born in 1939. She remembers her dad shipping out with the Navy in early 1944 -- over the draft age, and 3 young kids at home. But he went, my Nana held it down at home, fascism was defeated in Italy--the good guys won.

Expand full comment

My dad joined at the age of 16 (too young for the regular draft) - he spent 2 yrs in the merchant marines bringing needed supplies across the ocean to our allies and then he spent 2 more years in the regular army in Japan as a medic - as you said - to fight fascism - and then we have all these idiots who don't care enough to investigate who they are actually voting for. I can't even feel sorry for them - I cry for our fathers and grandfathers who gave everything to stop this atrocity who must be turning in their graves now.

I read an article by Heidi Siegmund Cuda from Bette Dangerous: investigation: Zarina Zabrisky Reports on Trump's Chief of staff's Russian ties. It's definitely a sober article for what is going on in Trumps world to destroy democracy. I encourage everyone to read. Popak, I wrote Biden to fast track the judges you reported on. I've been telling everyone I know to call Biden to tell him to fast track.

Ok just suspicious… Trump says he doesn’t need people’s votes to some then needs votes to others. Trump tells the Christian voters.. he just needs them year then won’t need to vote again. Trump says he has a secret. Musk knew election results 4 hours before polls closed. Musk has a huge federal mikitart contract

Musk buying voters

Bomb threats in the counties of swing states. Who was watching those ballots and ballot machines?

Why was sky link involved w the. Lying machines?

How did Kamala get less votes thes votes than Biden with all those new voters, massive rallies, polls stating that she was up, republicans for Kamala?

Now musk getting very very involved and I’m sure has Trump by the balls since he was such a big donor, used his platform to share misinformation and also stated on Joe Rogan… he hopes Trump wins or he (musk) could end up in jail?????? People are saying their votes were not registered/counted! Trump believed the 2020 election was stolen.. despite no proof after courts declared no findings.. he still could but accept it… he would stop at nothing to steal it now and try to keep it covered up like all of his crimes! Justice had to prevail… how can he get away with all of this??

All this is just not adding up!! I hope the people that need to know about this are investigating!!
