    “I’m not following (Trump’s) trials but I know that he is innocent until proven guilty.” – Nikki Haley

    Yeah, that ship has sailed. The only thing left is how much he has to pay the woman he raped and defamed and how many of his buildings are going to be seized and liquidated to put in trust while he appeals his fraud conviction in New York.

    Your going to finish a distant second to a felon.

    Are you strong enough to handle that disappointment?

    @1 Nikki Haley is a weak woman who wouldn’t take down the Confederate flag, won’t acknowledge slavery, or admit America has a racism problem. Stands for nothing, too wishy-washy to be president.

    The Evolution Of An Election Fraud Prosecution

    Dec. 6, 2023 — “Virginia’s attorney general’s office has dropped the felony corruption charges it levied against former Prince William County Registrar Michele White in connection to her role overseeing the 2020 election …. White was previously charged by Republican [AG] Jason Miyares with corruption, negligence and making false statements in connection to accusations that she altered local results of the 2020 presidential election. She is now only being charged with a misdemeanor alleging willful neglect of duty. … Prosecutors have alleged in court that White altered election results within a state system, resulting in inaccurate reporting of Prince William County’s 2020 presidential election results. But they haven’t formally detailed accusations in publicly available court filings. White has said the charges against her are politically motivated, which Miyares denies.”

    Jan. 11, 2024 — “A judge last week approved the Virginia attorney general’s move to drop all charges it levied against former Prince William County Registrar Michele White in connection to her role overseeing the 2020 election. … After backing away earlier in December from the felony corruption charges brought against her, Republican [AG] Jason Miyares moved to drop the remaining misdemeanor charge on Dec. 29, which was approved by a Prince William Circuit Court judge on Jan. 3.”

    Jan. 16, 2024 — “Eric Olsen, director of elections for Prince William county, said: ‘Election results were improperly reported by the previous administration during the 2020 election. The reporting errors were presumably a consequence of the results tapes not being programmed to a format that was compatible with state reporting requirements. Attempts to correct this issue appear to have created errors. The reporting errors did not consistently favor one party or candidate but were likely due to a lack of proper planning, a difficult election environment, and human error.’ The result, Olsen said, was that Biden received 1,648 fewer votes than he should have received and Trump received 2,327 too many. … Saying improvements had been made to county elections management, he alluded to threats to elections officials across the US that have been fueled by Trump’s voter fraud lie. … ‘Mistakes are unfortunate but require diligence and innovation to correct. They do not reflect a purposeful attempt to undermine the integrity of the electoral process and the investigation into this matter ended with that conclusion.'”

    Not surprisingly, the DOJ objects to the motion by POS Hunter Biden’s attorneys to dismiss charges against him because prosecution was selective and some sort of separation of powers bullshit.

    In 2023, FBI investigators pulled sealed evidence from the state police vault to take photographs of the defendant’s firearm. After opening the evidence, FBI investigators observed a white powdery substance on the defendant’s brown leather pouch that had held the defendant’s firearm in October 2018. Based on their training and experience, investigators believed that this substance was likely cocaine and that this evidence would corroborate the messages that investigators had obtained which showed the defendant buying and using drugs in October 2018. An FBI chemist subsequently analyzed the residue and determined that it was cocaine. To be clear, investigators literally found drugs on the pouch where the defendant had kept his gun.

    Most people use a coke spoon or a manicured pinky nail. POS Hunter Biden uses the barrel of a revolver.

    Dumbfuck has been pretty quiet on ‘FINISH THEM’. lately.

    IDF shot and killed a four year old on January 7th. Today Israel released the body to the family. Islamic custom is to bury the dead within three days.

    For what purpose did IDF keep the body for a week and a half. Were they checking the toddler for radicalization and ties to Hamas? IDFs version of the story is the child and mother were in the lead car of two. After being allowed through a checkpoint the second car failed to stop so they lit up both of them killing the child, a woman in the same car and another man. It is unclear if either of the adults were the child’s parents because….

    IDF hasn’t released the bodies of the adults and took the other occupants of the vehicles prisoner. Not yet released.

    Ah, someone has @ 6 asked for an update.

    The US Senate voted Tuesday night to table Resolution 504, which requested information on Israel’s human rights practices and the US government’s actions in supporting the Israeli government.

    Senators voted in favor of tabling the resolution 72 to 11.
    …
    Maryland Democratic Senator Ben Cardin said the resolution is the wrong vehicle to deal with this issue.

    “I strongly disagree with my colleagues,” Cardin said. “Resolution 502 B was never intended to be used against an ally during a war. It’s never been used for that purpose.”

    “Now, this resolution, as I said before, is much more than just requesting information. Its passage would be a gift to Hamas, a gift to Iran,” Cardin said. “It would show a division between Israel and the United States, it’s an indictment against Israel, make no mistake about it.”

    In other news, a 23 year-old Palestinian child was killed yesterday by IDF forces. As part of the MLK holiday celebration this impish little tyke tossed bottle rockets – formerly known as Molotov cocktails – at IDF forces who were having dinner at their checkpoint.

    Regarding the three illegal wannabes who drowned trying to cross a river near a park in Eagle Pass, TX, as much as HA libbies like POS Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit want to make it about Greg Abbott, it turns out that the drownings occurred an hour before the Border Patrol requested park access.

    Bill Melugin
    @BillMelugin_
    The Biden administration once again pushed a false narrative at the border, now refuted by their own DOJ.

    White House claim: “On Friday night, a woman and two children drowned near Eagle Pass, and Texas officials blocked U.S. Border Patrol from attempting to provide emergency assistance.”

    DOJ filing: The migrants had already drowned at 8pm, and Border Patrol didn’t inform Texas until an hour later at 9pm.

    This, like the horseback patrol “whipping” claims – took off as a false narrative, generating headlines that claimed Texas blocked a federal rescue effort, leading to the drownings of three migrants. The DOJ now confirms, those migrants had been deceased for an hour before Texas was even alerted about it.

    @12 But you’re not saying the Texas Rangers didn’t block the Border Patrol agents from the park. The BP agents thought they were responding to people in distress, and the Ranger thought they were keeping the agents from getting to them. And when Abbott was told he didn’t kill them after all, he probably went “oh darn.” I’ll bet you did, too. FINISH THEM.

    Actually, what was “imagined” was 0.4%. Consumers piled on far more credit card debt than expected, which is why spending rose significantly further than predicted.
