Monday’s podcast is all about the apparently weak case Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg intends to prosecute against Donald Trump and why—if the leaks are correct about the nature of the proceedings—all it will do is strengthen Trump and hurt the country. Also, Iraq 20 years later. Give a listen.

    the deep state interferes with the election process by:

    • allowing vote harvesting
    • wide scale early voting ( enhances effectiveness of vote harvesting )
    • imprisoning protesters, with the intent of intimidating people into not attending 1st amendment permitted protest rallies
    • partisan prosecutors bring criminal charges against candidates, financial backers and campaign/policy staff. Which denies voters a range of candidates to choose from.

    Obviously what we have here is a criminal conspiracy intended to rig the election system.  We also have a very timid group of republican establishment journalists who are terrified of being called an “election denier”.

    The biggest question is why are the making voting less secure. 

    The push for non-same day voting and not requiring ID makes voting less secure. 

    The longer the cycle. the more shenanigans

    Also, it eliminates late breaking news that could effect an election (Like Hunter Biden laptop –  Just kidding, that would require a journalist to do their job).

    exactly.  Extending voting day to vote season has solidified the power of political parties to win elections.  The parties now have all the time they need to bring a ballot to each of their targeted voters, “encourage” them to fill it out, then make sure the ballot is cast.  Ballot harvesting is highly effective.  And expensive.  Meaning only political parties, office holders and lobbyists can win election.
