    Pennsylvania Democrats openly admit to counting illegal ballots


    Case after case after case. But... "there is no fraud!"

    Everyone is wondering exactly what it's going to take to stop the theft.

    They know that as long as the Biden Administration is in place, no one is going to enforce actual laws.

    Trump is now elected president, so he needs to stay out of public till he can take control. He is threating the Cartel big time, and they are worth billions. He can get back in the spotlight once he has control and is safe. Right now, he has no protection he can trust.

    I really wish there was a way to put the breaks on this crap. I don't think it's really going to get them anywhere. Just something to make them look like they're actually earning their pay :rolleyes:

    An interesting thing is that Cenk Uygur, one of the Young Turks , seems to be now coming over to the MAGA/MAHA viewpoint, and he is writing about his experience with Elon Musk.
    He posted in X that Elon should let him help with the DOGE cleanup, and apparently, Elon asked him what ideas he had about that.
    Cenk was shocked, because he has been on the leftist side all these years, and he said that No Democrat leader would have asked him that question because they do not want to hear opinions from the populists.
    But Elon did ask him, and now he is looking at everything differently.
    I would not be surprised if he does not bring his audience over to the MAGA side before too long, just like Joe Rogan did.

    MAGA/MAHA is such a huge populist movement that it is eclipsing both traditional parties, plus the independents , the libertarians, and probably more that are not any registered group.
    It just keeps on growing and growing….

    It bugs me that people didn't twig to this when Hillary was running and Sanders broke his promise and dropped out before the Convention to endorse her.

    But better late than never. Fingers crossed we see more of this and MAGA/MAHA helps get the country back on track out of the hands of the shadowy forces arrayed against us.

    Sanders was forced out of that election campaign by something that Hillary did to him. I don’t remember the details anymore, but Sanders was ahead and he was very popular. Hillary was unpopular, and no one knew much about how Trump would be as a president, and the college age people were going to vote for Sanders. It would not have taken many votes from Trump, but it was going to split the Democratic votes between Hillary and Sanders, so he had to go.

    She somehow got campaign money that should have been Sanders, and he was forced to drop out. I don’t remember the whole story now, but even Trump talked about how Sanders was forced out by Hillary.
    I think they did something similar when he was running against Biden in 2020, and that is how Biden ended up as the candidate that year, because he had never done well before either, and was basically a DEI candidate when he was chosen as Obama’s VP.

    I've never seen, or even heard of a "movement" like this happening in America. I'm thrilled I get to see it in my time. It's almost as if we finally got riled up enough to fight fire with fire. What I mean is, not just President Trump and his influence, but so many outstanding citizens of the U.S. like, imo, every person that is amongst his X-men, but all the new folks he is choosing to serve along side him.

    I don't think "the others" can begin to stand up against, so all they have left now is to try to pull-off blatantly breaking the laws and constitution (not that they haven't done that all along). And, their propaganda, which does spread like wildfire. Everywhere I go there's headlines about something they hope to scare us with, scare us into submission, and they're more stupid than I thought if they think we will do that :rolleyes:

    I still fear that this will all fall apart because We The People do not manage our elected representatives. I cringe whenever I hear folks say that Trump is going to "clean the swamp." A large part of "the swamp" and the politicians we have put into power, and then we leave them alone to do what they want.

    Trump cannot fix our government. WE are the government. And we sure don't want to cede our power to anyone. I've been thinking of starting a thread where we can support and encouraged each other to contact our elected representatives, even if "it will do no good." This is our government. It's not a spectator sport.

    What you are saying has been true, @John Brunner , but I think that this is going to change , for several reasons. The first one is that we are going to have laws that a person has to be a citizen with a voter ID to vote in the elections, and if they are monitored so that the fake ballots can’t be printed and added in for days afterwards, then we will have a better chance of getting a real election in all the states.

    Also, Elon Musk has said that if the elected congressmen do not follow with the populist agenda, then they are going to be primaried when they come up for re-election, and Elon has that Super-PAC that will help fund new people who do support the movement to rescue America. So, if they want to stay in office, they are going to have to do the right thing, or their political career is over.

    The other thing that will help, which I also think is going to happen, is term limits for senators and representatives, so that they can't make this into a lifetime career.
    The populist movement is gaining supporters from almost everywhere, and I think this will completely change our political organizations, and we will start electing better people into office and replacing them before they become swamp creatures living in the muck.
