Donald J. Trump 2024

I agree. I usually like Moskowitz’s snark, but this is way over the line IMO.

Has tfg decided he’s going to lose and wants to walk away with as much money as he can, or is he so certain that he’s going to win despite what we’re seeing? (and still get to keep the money)

With such impressive momentum from the Democratic Party a cause for great optimism, have people taken their eyes off the Republicans intentions? At the moment it looks like the only way they can win is to be sure of the results.

Is anybody monitoring what’s going on with the electoral bodies/systems/processes; especially in the swing/marginal States?

The good news is, yes, people are aware and active. People are anticipating an effort to delay smaller units' certifications, which could cascade into a state's not certifying.

The less good news: CNN: Georgia State Election Board passes new rule allowing county boards to demand more information before certifying an election:

Georgia’s State Election Board passed a new rule ahead of the November election that will give county election boards the authority to demand more information, including the ability to conduct inquiries, before certifying election results.

The rule change comes 91 days ahead of the presidential election – something that was of concern to the board’s lone sitting Democrat, Sara Tindall Ghazal. Georgia Democrats like Ghazal say the new rule could potentially delay certification of the results in the upcoming general election if a county’s election board chooses to do so.

“The actions by the Georgia State Election Board today threaten Georgia’s time-tested checks and balances that we all rely on for fair, accurate, and secure election results. Georgia already has rigorous processes in place to verify, count, and review every ballot – and audit those results – prior to certification,” Voting Rights Lab Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer Sam Tarazi said in a statement.

Tarazi said the rule could result in “unknowable delays in future elections at the behest of a single individual,” adding: “It flies in the face of the strong checks and balances that have been in place for Georgia’s elections for decades.”

The vote passed 3-2, with board Chairman John Fervier crossing party lines to vote alongside Ghazal opposing the rule. Fervier was appointed as chairman of the board by Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp earlier this year.

So if GA decides to hold shit up, can the States who aren't run by half-wits just go on with the certification anyway and make GA stand in the corner for time out, or does everyone else have to just hang out waiting for them to catch up to the rest of the class?

Thanks Bob.

Nick Corasaniti, New York Times Reporter, and Voting Rights Attorney Marc Elias join Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House with reaction to the work underway by Trump allies in Georgia to try to subvert the 2024 election results if they do not favor Donald Trump, along with Trump shouting out three specific election officials he thinks will do his bidding in November.

Thanks for the info. Wonder if they'll let the reporters ask questions. Would love to hear about JD and his weirdness by AF 2 yesterday.

100,000? Has that ever happened?

100,000? Has that ever happened?

He thinks the NJ one was 100k

Remember when a bunch of kids punked them into thinking he'd have a million attendees at an Oklahoma rally? They ended up having to tear down the extra stages before OSG got there.

Good times.

Trump Plans News Conference in Florida, His First in Months
The former president sometimes held news conferences during his civil court cases in New York this year, but he hasn’t held any since his criminal trial started in April.

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/08/08 ... p-election

Former President Donald J. Trump said on his social media site that he would hold a news conference this afternoon at Mar-a-Lago, the first such event he’s held in months. The event comes as efforts to introduce the Democratic ticket to voters with a frenzied week on the campaign trail will be put on hold for the day, with severe weather from Tropical Storm Debby leading the Harris-Walz campaign to postpone events on Thursday in North Carolina.

Vice President Kamala Harris and her new running mate, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, canceled a rally in Raleigh, N.C., on Thursday, and an event in Savannah, Ga., on Friday morning. The Trump campaign also canceled Thursday events in Raleigh and Oakboro, N.C., near Charlotte. Both campaigns will head West to resume events on Friday evening.

The speculation is that is just going to a rambling sales pitch for crypto, NFTs, sneakers, steaks, etc.
