Muskrat says Act Blue is behind Tesla protests

He says (without any proof whatsoever, of course) that the protests and destruction against Tesla autos and Tesla dealerships are being funded by ActBlue and "left wing organizations in America funded by left-wing billionaires."



And now they have access to our donation records through the IRS, so this is pretty scary. I'm sure they will start an "investigation" into any Democratic leaning organizations soon.

Russian news host says Russia should strike Brussels, London and Paris

This is totally insane. From Russian Media Monitor:

This is a clip from the "Russian state TV show “The Evening With Vladimir Solovyov."

Some highlights: Discussing the new U.S. stance on Ukraine: “And forget about Article 5. Don’t even dream of American troops. Do you think we will pay? No, do it yourselves. You’re on your own—and without us."

“In this situation, unless the U.S. is bluffing… we should make this thought clear to the europeans. Now we can actually strike Brussels, London, and Paris.” Another member of the panel immediately says, “I like the way you think.”

Felix Sater and Kamala Harris?

I saw on Reddit that there was a photo on Felix Sater's Twitter account that showed he and Harris together yesterday. He made a cryptic comment about it: "Lunch turned out to be very interesting. I’m glad she didn’t recognize me." (Sorry for the small picture, but if you click on it, it will get bigger)

Sater is a very interesting character, and has had a lot of dealings with the Trump organization and Trump as president. He's also a friend since childhood of Michael Cohen. I don't know what this all means, but it's interesting...

Wikipedia says that he is a "Russian-American mobster, convicted felon, real estate developer and former managing director of Bayrock Group LLC, a real estate conglomerate based out of New York City. He has been an advisor to corporations such as The Trump Organization, and the Mirax Group.

In 1998, Sater pleaded guilty to his involvement in a $40 million stock fraud scheme orchestrated by the Russian Mafia, and became an informant for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and federal prosecutors, assisting with organized crime investigations. In 2017, Sater agreed to cooperate with investigators into international money laundering schemes."

Roger Stone: "Democrats are playing possum"

He's telling Alex Jones that he thinks that "Obama and his minions" are "somewhere in a compound, planning a diabolical plot to thwart the will of the people."

What a ridiculous tool and moron he is. If only it were true!

"Andy Griffith predicts Trump"

Might be a good time to bring out this old chestnut. In this interview with Andy Griffith, he said emphatically: "I guess people at that time didn't think it could happen. It can happen." Today was the first time I've seen this. The movie is called "A Face in the Crowd." Someone posted this on Threads:

Chilling to think that exactly what was predicted came true.

"Here's What We Do Now", By Greg Palast

Greg Palast warned us that this was going to happen: the rejection of millions of votes, mainly from Black, Hispanic, and Asian-American voters:

"Being right never felt so horrid.
Before the election, I wrote, “How Trump Won” (https://www.gregpalast.com/how-trump-wona-warning/)

And on Election night I waited for the returns to make a fool of me.
Instead, the returns made the fool a President.

And so, my vacation’s cancelled. My life’s cancelled; that is, a life of anything but sleuthing and exposing the details of the heist of our democracy."

"But the horror we face is countered by this one hard question the US media will ignore, but I can’t: Did Donald Trump actually win this election? If so, was it really a landslide?

Here’s something you won’t read elsewhere: In the last Presidential, according to the official count of the federal Elections Assistance Commission, 2.7 million provisional ballots were rejected.

Whose ballots? If you’re Black, Hispanic or Asian-American, the chance you were shunted to one of these provisional ballots is 300% higher than if you’re white."

"With our investigative reports, with our hard and unassailable evidence, we can challenge the legitimacy of the Trump “landslide.” It’s not about bringing down Trump, it’s about shoring up that fragile thing called Democracy."

Story continues here:

Many of us felt in our gut that something wasn't right about this election. It makes me feel sick to think that they will probably get away with this.

Have the vile misogynistic "re-truths" been discussed on cable or TV news?

I keep looking, but I haven't seen MSNBC or any of the news outlets talking about how Trump posted about blowjobs, tribunals, threats, etc. They need to be talking about this because it is totally insane and viewers need to be informed that he is getting even more out of control and bonkers.

Recap of Trump's rally in Michigan

This series of threads really says it all. He seems to be getting more unhinged with each passing day.

Look who's the #1 politician at the top of the "anti-crypto list"

You guessed it: Joe Biden!

By the way, this is a MUCH shorter list than the "pro-crypto" list.
