I'm loving the list of groups etc that packed out the stadium with PAID attendees as opposed to the FREE trumpettes that went.

Yeah, like John Tess (who???) And a touring production of La Traviata! Culture? In fly over country? That can't be right

Just saw on Twitter that Farage attended the Oklahoma event. Stayed in a tent in the empty car park

Rule 2, after Rule 1 being don't hold a blank piece of paper in a photo, is check what the signs say behind you.

Fake, apparently. And check out the reflection in the sunglasses.

He's usually projecting when he makes these kinds of accusations.

Like last time around, expect all evidence of actual voting fraud to be by his own voters.

[ScotHill]

If he ever gets put into a court of law it's going to be incredible to watch. It's depressing that the last time he ever had anything close to cross-examination was the presidential debates four years ago....

I'm looking forward to this book release on Tuesday... I'm more of a Lord of the Rings type of bloke but recon it maybe just as entertaining !

It's basically 570 pages of Bolton stroking his own dick.

Trump may be is a self-obsessed narcissist. However Bolton has played a significant political role in killing hundreds of thousands of people. he would quite happily have the US attack any Country that dares to oppose it. Of the two, Bolton is far more dangerous.

Yeah, I read parts of it yesterday. Bolton is an utter cock and the self aggrandizement is nauseous. I wouldn't waste a dime on it, the salacious parts are already out there. Bob Woodward's book will be interesting, as will Mary Trump's.

He's just trying to wind up his moronic base. Everyone with a brain knows that each ballot has a unique code that must be matched to the individual voter registration. But Cleetus and Jim Bob will be lapping it up. "They took errr Jerbs, now they want errrr votes".

So now the election will be rigged and all because of mail ballots. So what happened when he won in 2016 was it not rigged then?

Because of MAIL-IN BALLOTS, 2020 will be the most RIGGED Election in our nations history - unless this stupidity is ended. We voted during World War One & World War Two with no problem, but now they are using Covid in order to cheat by using Mail-Ins!

Remember in 2016 he claimed if he lost it would be because it was rigged. He's started early this time, leaves more time for golf

From what I remember he was pushing the same bullsht back in 2016. It seems to be a case of "getting your excuses in first" so that, when the inevitable happens, "you KNEW it was going to happen".

It's part of the fog that he creates. The best thing for the Dems to do (IMHO) is to ignore everything he posts, highlight 2 or 3 ket messages that he's weak on, and then just hammer away at those relentlessly. Don't respond to him, create the narrative that HE has to respond to. eg

120,000 + US citizens DEAD
41million unemployed
Trump businesses given a BIG part of the $500bn bailout fund
Trump can't walk and drink water.

The more he denies the above the more time people have to hear about the above.

The removal of Berman is yet another incident that defies democracy and underlines the depths to which the Trump administration has sunk - the overriding concern is not that it is fallen so far, but how much further will it sink? Is there nothing that the Trumps won't do to cover up their tracks...

I read Berman stepped down so his regular deputy got the job, rather than a Barr lackey. Oh the irony if she appointed him as a special prosecutor

Dianne Feinstein calls on Lindsey Graham to investigate and hold hearings on "political interference in the work of the Justice Dept., including an examination of Attorney General Barr's effort to remove – and the President's firing of – Geoffrey Berman."

https://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/_cache/fil...

Audrey Strauss is another career prosecutor, not a trump lackey. Berman called Strauss the “smartest, most principled, and effective lawyer” he has ever worked with and said the office, the most important in the country for prosecuting white-collar crime and policing Wall Street, could be “in no better hands.”

Remember the reason trump wants Barr to halt the investigations.

There is an ongoing probe into Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani. The office is examining his efforts to secure political dirt in Ukraine on Trump’s 2020 opponent Joe Biden and has already brought charges against two of Giuliani’s associates. There has also been a long-running investigation into Deutsche Bank, a major lender to Trump’s companies. Remember the FBI office leaking to Giuliani was what caused Comeys letter.

The office is also prosecuting Turkey’s state-owned Halkbank for allegedly helping Iran evade sanctions on billions of dollars in oil funds. Former National Security Advisor John Bolton claims in his book that trump promised Turkish President Erdogan that the Halkbank “problem” would be “fixed” once “his people” controlled the Southern District.


Edit: Schumer requests a joint OIG/OPR investigation into Geoffrey Berman’s removal from SDNY, likening it to the US Attorneys scandal of 2006.
https://www.democrats.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/CES...

He's written to Horowitz who is also working on the NY FBI office leaks to Giuliani intended to help Trump in 2016.

A new national Ipsos/Reuters poll finds that former Vice President Joe Biden leads President Donald Trump 48% to 35%.
While Biden has led Trump in almost every Ipsos poll this year, his advantage this week is the largest in 2020.

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/06/21/politics/trump-...

That rally worked really well - for Biden

...and just is case it was missed this morning in Vol 8, can we all just admire Ted Lieu's trolling of trump

He's laying the ground work for not accepting the election results and priming his supporters for action. It will be increasingly nasty from now on. I wouldn't be surprised if by mid November there will be armed stand-offs and "autonomous zones" popping everywhere.

Just to put this all to bed from todays reporting

This was the image captured by an ⁦@AP⁩ photographer as a rather disheveled looking Donald John Trump returned from his “fun night” in #Tulsa .

Parscale tried to claim protestors kept people out (what all 994,000 of them)

Our @CBSNews team stood at the W Fourth St security barricade for over an hour and watched as state police & national guardsmen blocked it. Trump supporters expressed disappointment when the entrance closed, but none of them appeared shaken or intimidated by peaceful protesters

Fewer than 6,200 people attended President Trump's campaign rally at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday night, well below the arena's capacity of roughly 19,000, according to the Tulsa Fire Department.
Andrew Little, the department's public information officer, told The Hill that a fire marshal recorded the tally at around 7:30 p.m., noting that the figure applied to scanned tickets from the event.
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/503781-tulsa...


They'd have got away for it too if it wasn't for those meddling kids.

Of the million registrations the Trump campaign are now trying to claim that 300,000 of them were legitimate from registered Republicans.

In the week leading up to the rally, there were reports of teenagers and K-pop fans mass-registering for tickets in a virtual public action against Trump and his campaign. The campaign was aware of the efforts, but dismissed the chance of empty seats on Saturday and argued that the joke was actually on the trolls. Campaign leaders therfore knew about it, yet still heralded the big inflated number like it was the truth, to keep trump happy.

Speaking of Giuliani and investigations...

The federal judge overseeing the case of Giuliani associates Parnas & Fruman, plus two others, just denied co-defendant David Correia's motion to suppress all the evidence that the US gov seized from a DHL package Correia sent to his lawyers. Correia sent the package to his attorney from abroad after Parnas and Fruman were arrested, just before his first attempt to get on a flight back to the states to turn himself in

Correia argued the materials in the package - two notebooks, a hard drive, a computer & a smartphone - were protected by attorney-client privilege per advice he got from his counsel. The judge, J. Paul Oetken, disagreed as it never got to his lawyers.

Now why would you send two notebooks, a hard drive, a computer and a smartphone through the post to your lawyers so it could be inadmissible?
