    Trump just said he will not pay Giuliani for the work he did on the election fraud/stolen matter.

    Any farmer would kill the whole flock and start over again, on the assumption you can't possibly do worse. Chickens abandoned in the bone yard for too long ain't even worth stealing! They've been living off lies and hate for so long, they become cannibals.

    I’ve been tired of Trump since 2015, and even before that during Obama and the whole birth certificate bullshit.

    He's one of those guys that's so slimy, you need an expert on slime mold to appreciate the true depths of his soul. That's how he got elected.

    Okay... Everybody saw that coming.

    Problem is, his base thinks that is the proper way to do business.

    In ramp-up to 2022 midterms, Republican candidates center pitches on Trump’s false election claims
    By Amy Gardner
    July 5, 2021 at 6:00 a.m. EDT

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...43438c-d36f-11eb-ae54-515e2f63d37d_story.html

    excerpt:

    "A candidate to be Arizona’s top elections official said recently he hopes a review of 2020 ballots underway in his state will lead to the reversal of former president Donald Trump’s defeat there.

    In Georgia, a member of Congress who used to focus primarily on culturally conservative causes such as opposing same-sex marriage has made Trump’s false claim that the election was stolen a central element of his bid to try to unseat the current secretary of state.

    And in Virginia last month, a political novice who joined Trump’s legal team to try to overturn his 2020 loss in court mounted a fierce primary challenge — and won — after attacking a Republican state House member who said he had seen no evidence of widespread fraud in the election.

    “He wasn’t doing anything — squat, diddly,” Wren Williams said in an interview about his primary opponent. “He wasn’t taking election integrity seriously. I’m sitting here fighting for election integrity in the courts, and he’s my elected representative who can legislate and he’s not.”

    Across the country, as campaigns gear up for a handful of key races this year and the pivotal 2022 midterms, Republican candidates for state and federal offices are increasingly focused on the last election — running on the falsehood spread by Trump and his allies that the 2020 race was stolen from him.

    While most of these campaigns are in their early stages, the embrace of Trump’s claims is already widespread on the trail and in candidates’ messages to voters. The trend provides fresh evidence of Trump’s continued grip on the GOP, reflecting how a movement inspired by his claims and centered on overturning a democratic election has gained currency in the party since the Jan. 6 Capitol attack."

    The Russian disinformation campaign is in full swing.

    While we may lose the House, there are 20 Republican Senators up for re-election in 2022, and only 14 Democrats,
    and out of the 20 Republican Senators, 5 have announced they will retire at end of term. 0 Democrats will retire.

    It's more likely we'll pick up 1 or 2 seats in the Senate giving us a true majority.

    Max Miller was appointed by Trump to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council.



    Trump Wants an Inexperienced Crony to Replace a Republican Star

    excerpt:

    "We’re about to see how much a Trump endorsement is worth.

    The former president is taking aim at Republican defectors like Ohio Rep. Anthony Gonzalez who voted for impeachment after Trump had given him a ride on Air Force One. What an ingrate, Trump railed at a late June rally, calling the 36-year-old congressman a “sellout” and “fake Republican” as the ex-president threw his endorsement in a crowded field to Max Miller, a 32-year-old former White House aide with a thin resume and a rap sheet that includes multiple charges in his home state of Ohio for assault, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest.

    The most recent charge was in 2010 and related to a fight; Miller says he has since grown up and won’t be repeating those mistakes. Maybe so, but do Republicans really want to trade out two-term Congressman Gonzalez, the son of Cuban immigrants and a former wide receiver at Ohio State before turning pro, for someone with the inexperience and background of Miller?

    Until Gonzalez voted to impeach Trump, he was on the short list of Republicans to replace the retiring Rob Portman in next year’s Senate election. “He’s young, he’s a former NFL player, he’s telegenic, and he’s Hispanic,” said Jacob Rubashkin with Inside Elections, a nonpartisan newsletter that covers House races. “In a universe where Donald Trump is not around, Gonzalez would be running for the Senate—but that’s not the universe we’re in. Impeachment turned that on its head.”"

    Ohio is losing a Congressional district due to census figures. It will likely make the district Gonzalez represents lean more Democratic, making it more difficult for someone like Trump to try to promote a fringe loyalist like Miller.



    Trump Wants an Inexperienced Crony to Replace a Republican Star

    excerpt:

    "Asked if the newly configured 16th district might make it more competitive, Dole said political handicapper Larry Sabato might move it to “Lean Republican” rather than “Solid Republican.” Not quite, says Sabato, whose “Crystal Ball” is housed at the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics. “Likely Republican,” he told The Daily Beast. “A little more competitive but they’ve [Democrats] got a long way to go” in Ohio, a state he sees as a lost cause for Dems.

    He praises Gonzalez—“he has a conscience”—and he didn’t sell out for a ride on Air Force One, a perk Trump thought would ensure loyalty.

    Sabato predicts Republicans are not going to nominate Trump loyalist Max Miller. “The standards are so low they’re in the basement, but they haven’t sunk to the center of the earth,” he says. As for Gonzalez, he thinks he survives the primary challenge. “He’s not just anybody. He’s a superstar, and that makes it harder for the Republicans to ditch him.” Harder yes, but not impossible, as both political parties await the impact of an impeached one-term president’s hold on enough voters to affect election outcomes."

    Trump loyalist Max Miller is trying to cast Gonzalez as an outcast, even though he grew up in Ohio near the district he currently represents.


    Trump Wants an Inexperienced Crony to Replace a Republican Star

    excerpt:

    "Miller grew up in wealthy Shaker Heights in a family whose patriarch, Sam Miller, was a prominent real estate developer, philanthropist, and power broker, courted by both political parties for campaign contributions. He died not long ago at age 97, his standing in the community undiminished by his grandson’s brushes with the law that the candidate wishes to dismiss as teenage shenanigans.

    Miller is getting flak for spending more time at Mar-a-Lago than in northeast Ohio, and he doesn’t even live in the district he’s vying to represent. To rectify that, he just bought a house in the upscale suburb of Rocky River and announced his engagement to Emily Moreno, the daughter of Bernie Moreno, a luxury car dealer turned Blockchain executive who is running for the Senate as a Trump ally. The Miller campaign did not immediately respond to a request to comment for this story."

    Town where Trump repeatedly demanded election probe says it has no evidence at all of fraud

    excerpt:

    "An audit of the polls in Windham, New Hampshire, a town of about 15,000 people, ended another effort by Donald Trump and his supporters to find evidence of election fraud in the November 2020 election.

    “We found no evidence of fraud or political bias. I have heard no one actually articulate a credible hypothesis of how fraud could account for what we found,” said Mark Lindeman, one of the three auditors and the acting co-director of Verified Voting, a nonpartisan non-profit organisation, on Thursday.

    Instead, the auditors believe a folding machine used in Windham, to fold the absentee ballots before sending them to voters, was behind mistakenly adding to vote counts for candidates in four legislative seats.

    On their return, the absentee ballots were fed into a counting machine but because the folds on some ballots went through a Democrats name, the ballot was either not counted or a vote was wrongly given to the Democrat."

    Trump has continued relentlessly with his allegation of massive fraud.


    Town where Trump repeatedly demanded election probe says it has no evidence at all of fraud

    excerpt:

    "Mr Trump had said that “people are watching in droves as these Patriots work tirelessly to reveal the real facts of the most tainted and corrupt election in American history.”

    Since losing the November 2020 elections, Mr Trump and many of his supporters have alleged election fraud but all their legal challenges so far have failed."

    The following is a description of the benevolence of Georgia's election system before Trump lost the 2020 election.



    3rd Strike Against Voter Fraud Claims Means Theyre Out After Signature Audit Finds No Fraud | Elections

    excerpt:

    "Georgia is recognized as a national leader in elections. It was the first state in the country to implement the trifecta of automatic voter registration, at least 16 days of early voting (which has been called the “gold standard”), and no-excuse absentee voting. Georgia continues to set records for voter turnout and election participation, seeing the largest increase in average turnout of any other state in the 2018 midterm election and record turnout in 2020, with over 1.3 million absentee by mail voters and over 3.6 million in-person voters utilizing Georgia’s new, secure, paper ballot voting system."
