| Democrats Enjoyed Zuckerberg Paying Hundreds of Millions to Set Up Their Own Private Election Forces That They're Looking to Spend One Billion Dollars On Private Vote Collection Efforts in 2024Did you enjoy the hundreds of millions Mark Zuckerberg spent on pumping money into blue jurisdictions to "help" them collect, "correct," and count votes? Then you're going to love this. Steve Miller for Real Clear Investigations:Arabella again -- the biggest "dark money" operation in history. Say, remember when Democrats and the media, but I repeat myself as usual, objected to "dark money"? Since Democrats became the masters of dark money, suddenly the media's objections to it completely dried up.

The involvement of even $1 of private money in any aspect of the election process was an insane outrageous thing, and completely at odds with any concept of even a civil society with a public sector of any kind.
Obviously. And in the empty hulk that is America today (thanks to the nature of the bipeds currently inhabiting it), it is just SOP. Except it's hundreds of $M. Incredible. Posted by: rhomboid at March 17, 2023 02:05 PM (OTzUX) 16

If you think the steal was bad in 2020 and 2022, wait until you see 2024. 2016 was a one-off. The Dumocraps were caught with their pants down in 2016 because they never believed Trump was a real threat. They will not make that mistake again. Unlike the GOP, the Dums learn from their mistakes, and since 2020 they have made 100% sure that they can steal every national election and most of the big statewide elections too. We will never see another GOP president again. We will never see another GOP Senate again. And once they figure out how to steal local districts -- and they will -- we will never have another GOP House again. We are lost. This country is lost. It's over.

Republicans have opposed such efforts, passing legislation in 24 states since 2020 curbing the private financing of elections. But the GOP does not have a comparable, boots-on-the-ground effort to influence election boards and workers, and the private-funding bans haven't proved absolute in some states.
++++ The GOP operates only in government, when it chooses to operate at all. The other side operates at all levels and in all venues, and does so simultaneously. They have to be fought in public and on the street, not from wood-paneled rooms of executive government offices or in the beige-painted halls of some government agency.

Watch the Wisconsin Supreme Court election results come April 4th, you'll see how far ahead the Democrats are in ballot harvesting in Wisconsin.

"There is a cottage industry of 501c3s in public policy and in the political arena, trying to shape the future of immigration or education or any other topic," said Kimberly Fiorello, a former Republican state representative in Connecticut. "Increasingly they are about elections, election administration, election technology, ballot design, and all with big funding. These groups seem innocuous, but they aren't innocuous because they are funded by one political side."
++++ And those NGOs are in symbiosis with the state. Many of them are quangos and receive taxpayer money. All of them get giant chunks of cash from leftist industrialists and the foundations created by better men generations ago. The entire complex needs to be destroyed.

If you're wondering, "how do the Democrats always have so damned much money sloshing around for not just these schemes but to top off the coffers of every single candidate?!"
Because it's all coming from us, the taxpayers. Well, borrowed in our name, technically. It's all money laundered though this and that agency to a NGO here, a non-profit there, advertising, inflated purchases, Ukraine etc. All of this is just like we learned about their censorship regime--dirctly funded by the federal government.

224 What are the protests in France about?
Posted by: Just Wondering at March 17, 2023 02:39 PM (DhOHl) ------------- youtube.com/watch?v=_5cERmzyysQ Live: Protest at French National Assembly after Macron forces pension reforms through without vote Live at the National Assembly in Paris, a day after the French government decided to force through changes to the pension system without a vote. On Thursday, the Senate passed President Macron’s proposals by 193-144, but the vote in the Assembly was withdrawn at the last minute, with the result believed to be too close to call. French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne then announced the triggering of Article 49.3, a special constitutional power, to pass the legislation. Regular demonstrations and strikes against the bill, which increases the pension age from 62 to 64, have taken place in recent months, with rallies expected to intensify following the use of the executive power.

Boys and girls, this is again why the Republicans [see- Chamber of Commerce Cuck Party] will never again win a national election. They didn't Stop The Steal in 2020. And because they did not fight that bloodless coup, 2022 happened. And it was funny in 2022, because I believe they thought the Democrats would give up the massive cheating machine after they COLLECTIVELY got rid of Trump. As the stupid G.O.P. learned, you don't make deals with the Devil.
More than likely, we lose again in 2024 as they [Dems and RINOS] will utilize the cheat machine again to thwart real votes, like in 2020. And the Republicans will again do nothing, as they are prone to do or get paid off to not make waves. The country was lost in 2020. It is a fools folly to keep thinking that real votes from real voters will get us a different result when cheating is an accepted norm now. There is no "vote harder" strategy when the liars on our side make no effort to outlaw vote harvesting tactics that any sane democratic republic would outlaw. And a Desantis run would not win either (not that I would vote for him in 24. Trump is my President) as "count all the votes" instead of "one man, one vote" is the way now Posted by: Tracy at March 17, 2023 02:49 PM (aWDI7) 287

Example: The NC Senate and General Assembly just passed a sweeping new gun bill that ends (FINALLY!) the requirement that handgun purchasers acquire a permit from their county's Sheriff's department before buying a pistol (exemption for CCW holders).

I dunno about the doom and gloom. In 2022, NC re-gained a majority of the NC Supreme Court. A top priority was a addressing the prior Court's dark of night December 2022 ruling striking down the NC redistricting act. New hearings will now be held (IIRC next month) and a great wrong will likely be reversed. Keep hope alive, doomsters!

The NC GOP has a veto-proof majority in the General Assembly, and is only one vote short of the same in the state Senate.
Posted by: mrp at March 17, 2023 02:50 PM (rj6Yv) +++++++ So? The GOP will be able, once they, finally, become aware of the threat fix the voting problems in states they control, but they'll never be able to fix them even in purple states. Groups of people lose, for every winner there is a loser. We've lost. I would say it was a good fight, but it wasn't. We had control and we're convinced to give it up, and that's about as bad a performance as it gets. You might hope that at some point in the future the tide would turn, since as long as a people exists their political fortunes can change, but they have imposed defacto open borders and are in the process of demographic replacement. That's game over. The country as we knew it is finished and you better start talking to your kids about what their life strategies are. Posted by: DFCtomm at March 17, 2023 02:56 PM (vDj4Y) 327

Daladier threatened to resign if Gamelin was removed, Gamelin felt dishonored and said he would resign and the pressure was on Reynaud to resign and call for new elections.

Those who are complaining about the lack of poll watchers have a point, but the election is stolen long before the polls even open. Illegal ballot harvesting, fake mail-in ballots, dead people voting, etc. All that happens before the polls open, and can't be detected by poll watchers.
Some people still seem to be in denial about the complete destruction of legitimate voting the CV19 hysteria wrought. We are never going back. Where poll watchers can actually help is in places like AZ, where Lake would have clearly won on election day but for the blatant vote sabotage in Maricopa county. But look at how utterly the GOP party -- and Lake's campaign -- fucked a pig on that. They had to know the steal was in effect, yet they never bothered to check the voting machines beforehand, never bothered to make sure there were plenty of paper ballots that were the right size, etc. They were totally unprepared for what they should have seen coming a mile away. Does the GOP actually want to win elections??? Posted by: Elric Blade at March 17, 2023 03:03 PM (iFTx/) 355

So? The GOP will be able, once they, finally, become aware of the threat fix the voting problems in states they control, but they'll never be able to fix them even in purple states. Posted by: DFCtomm -------- Not true. The Dems rely on a huge bloat to voter registration files that are a) nonexistent voters, b) voters that have moved away or are ineligible for some reason (felonies, not a citizen, etc), and c) voters that once existed but are either dead, did not re register, and so on. Plus, in some states, the state governments allow third party groups live access to voter registration and history files where as in AZ, voters were created on the fly during the election period and deleted along with history, leaving only the ballot behind. Then you have the usual scanning ballots multiple times, paying for ballots, destruction or obstruction of GOP votes, manipulating electronic voting systems ability to change votes under the adjudication procedures, etc. Posted by: whig at March 17, 2023 03:05 PM (r4qoG) 358

Simply put, the Dems change their procedures and Maricopa is led by GOP Commission with a GOP registrar of votes. Lake got smashing totals from outside of Maricopa County to counteract fraud and her totals were destroyed in Maricopa intentionally by the GOP party there--not the Dems. My guess is that cartels are involved in trying to keep the border open for drug and human smuggling and the old silver or lead maxim applies in that case.

Posted by: DFCtomm ------- To be frank, you are rather uninformed on the subject while wailing all is lost. Specifically, and this takes no action by the GOP, voter organizations can sue the states in both federal and district courts to essentially remove non-existent voters from the rolls which makes it much harder to cheat. An organization did that in Orange County, CA and the result was several US House seats were won back from the 2018 debacle. The federal Motor Voter bill requires states to periodically purge their voting rolls or they can be sued by voters (standing here is explicitly not an issue) in a jurisdiction to remove those non-existent or fraudulent registrations. Suits can be in federal courts for enforcement. Posted by: whig at March 17, 2023 03:12 PM (r4qoG) 365

++++++++++ Okay, good luck with all that, but it just doesn't matter. There are more of them than there are of us. It's just numbers. The only reason we were able to win in the recent past is because they have such shitty voter turnout, most of the time. With the new mail-in voting laws that isn't an issue. When we get another cycle or two then we can begin to look at voter turn out and I'll bet Democrat voter turn out is going to be virtually flat line with little variation. It will be flat with a constant slight increase that is a result of population increases. You can't beat that in court. Posted by: DFCtomm at March 17, 2023 03:20 PM (vDj4Y) 367
