CALL THEM WHAT THEY ARE: "ELECTION LIARS."

 


How to cover election deniers? Try calling them election liars. 


"A fleet of Republican candidates are running on a fundamental lie that strikes at the heart of our democracy — and on an implicit promise of future insurrection. The common term is “election deniers,” but that underplays the menace they pose. 

For starters, we should keep in mind that they are not only lying about the 2020 election, repeating the thoroughly debunked falsehood that President Biden was not legitimately elected. In no other era would a national party have nominated such crackpots to any office, let alone governor or U.S. Senate." 




Citing alarm toward the Republican Party's widespread embrace of 2020 election conspiracies, a moderate GOP Colorado state senator has switched his affiliation to Democrat. Priola's decision, announced on Monday, Aug. 22, 2022, enhances Democrats' chances of retaining their majority in the chamber in the November midterms.  

 Kevin Priola, who represents Adams County in Denver’s suburbs, said in a letter Monday he was horrified by the Jan. 6 insurrection on the U.S. Capitol and had waited in vain for his party to repudiate it as well as former President Donald Trump, who continues to insist that it was stolen. “It never came,” Priola said. 









ELECTION LIAR 




Saturday, August 20, 2022 

"It’s Day 577 of the coup, the theft of the American Government, by enemies both foreign and domestic. Our federal government has been stolen by the illegal actions of leftist politicians. 

And they are driving it like they stole it. 

Let me repeat: they are driving it like they stole it. 

And they are turning our law enforcement agencies on our citizens. This must be stopped."


And on and on. The Trump Deplorables continue to spread his Big Lie and live in his swamp of lies every day:

ELECTION LIAR:


"Domestic Terrorism at Mar-a-Lago 

 Domestic Terrorists, dressed as FBI agents looted the home of President Trump in Florida.


Yep. They let the Bidens steal America, and raid the safe of the rightful President of the United States."



These benighted deplorables continue to believe in a twice-impeached Liar, Cheat, and Fraud, who incited a mob to attack his own government and hang his own vice president, and overthrow a free and fair election he lost in a landslide so he could hang onto power.

Big Lie believers, election deniers, election liars, white nationalists, Trump lovers, angry bigots and ignorant white dupes all qualify as fascists.

Bottom line.

Election Deniers. Evidence Challenged. Living in LaLa Landers. Liars. Willfully Deceived. Wrong.

Bad for America.

Any group that decides that only if their side wins, and then backs that up with an insurrection at the US Capitol, complete with, as then President Trump exclaimed, armed supporters, is bad for America.

Sure the Dems have been unhappy with the results of elections in the past. Some, yes Stacy Abrams, have refused to concede, others have clung to the "election was stolen" view for years.

But never in our recent history has any Democratic Party aligned group or any left leaning mob taken up arms, attacked and injured over 100 sworn police officers in one day or resorted to intimidation and violence in service of a lie.

As some of the ppl quoted in your post have.

Those people, all of them, are bad for America.

Let's remember that in 2000 Al Gore had a reasonable claim at election malfeasance. In fact the Florida election came down to less than 1000 votes. But then the SCOTUS ruled. And what did Al Gore do?

He accepted the decision. Period. And said George Bush was the elected President of the United States and that we should work together for the good of our country.

What have Former President Trump done since the SCOTUS and numerous other federal courts have ruled against him?

They've attacked the legitimacy, again with arms and force, of those courts and the institutions of America.

Perhaps his supporters can explain to us why the two approaches are so different.

That Trump blogger is clearly a part of the mass symbiosis of shared psychopathies. He's absolutely convinced his delusions are real. And there are MILLIONS in this country just like him!

This was the stupidest comment on his blog:

"The Biden’s are unregistered Foreign Agents of the Chinese government."

Everything they accuse the Democrats of being is a projection of what the people they like are:


"Michael T. Flynn, who went from the campaign trail to the White House as President Trump’s first national security adviser, filed papers this week acknowledging that he worked as a foreign agent last year representing the interests of the Turkish government in a dispute with the United States.

His surprising admission, coming more than four months after the election, raised further questions about the rise and fall of a presidential confidant who was forced to resign after 24 days in office for withholding the full story of his communications with Russia’s ambassador."

We have come to the regrettable that if you lose you claim it was stolen. Was the 2020 election fair from past elections, not really due to the voting system but biden did win. Gore did what was best for the country. -H- and trump not so much with trump being the worst.

Les Carpenter said...

The 2020 election was the freest and fairest election in our history skud. Check it out. It's there for anyone interested in truth.

Hilarious!

"DEFINITELY, of ALL that’s said these days reminding us of Berger, Clinton, etc., the Pelosi one…tearing up a president’s SOTU speech, is by far the most egregious. She should have gone to prison. Who wouldn’t want to be her guard? !!!"

Pelosi broke no laws when she ripped up a copy of Trumpy's SOTU speech. Only an idiot would believe Pelosi would commit a crime in front of the nation and get away with it or that she wouldn't know that ripping up a copy of a public document is no crime. It was Pelosi's way of rubbing her contempt for Trump in his stupid face! LOL!

She thinks it the "most egregious!" But says nothing about Trump taking classified and top secret docs to his unsecured Mar-a-Largo home where anyone could look at them?

Yes. Trumpers are that stupid!

I just took a look at that blog and found this:

At a townhall meeting in 2009, my then Congressman Ed Royce got asked by a constituent why the GOP had not written a health care bill to counter 0bamacare. Congressman Royce informed us that GOP Rep Dana Rohrabacher wrote a 52 page substitute bill, presented it to Pelosi, then she took it without reading a page of it, ripped it to shreds, tossed it in her trashcan, then went on TV, saying the GOP refuses to write a healthcare bill and doesn’t want anything to do with helping the public. We knew what kind of vile piece of trash Pelosi was.

But what we didn’t know is that she’s involved in the occult, trafficking children through her Pizza Chain Goat Hill Pizza in Frisco.



Rohrabacher never wrote any such health care bill. (I searched his bio for bills he supported). Ever. This MysteryFox character is obviously insane. Read the last part of his comment. LOL!

It really is amusing to read these nut cases.

Here's what Wiki says about Rohrabacher:

Healthcare
On May 4, 2017, Rohrabacher voted in favor of repealing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and passing the American Health Care Act. During his 2018 re-election campaign, Rohrabacher pledged to protect protections for individuals with preexisting conditions. Rohrabacher voted for his party's Obamacare replacement bill that included state waivers from rules that prohibit charging higher prices to people with pre-existing conditions.


That MysteryFox is a ridiculous liar. LOL!
