'We Don't Dispute' It: Georgia 315k Vote Bombshell Blows a Big Hole in 2020's 'Most Secure Election' Lie

A Georgia State Election Board investigation substantiated that Fulton County violated election rules in 2020 by failing to have poll workers sign required tabulation tapes for early votes in 36 out of 37 advanced voting precincts, affecting approximately 315,000 ballots.

These unsigned tapes broke the chain-of-custody and certification requirements under Georgia law, which mandates signed tapes as the sole legal proof of authentic vote totals.

During a board meeting on December 9th, Ann Brumbaugh, attorney for the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections, contends that Fulton County does “not dispute that the tapes were not signed.”

Oof. So much for the "most secure" and "most audited" election in the history of the world. No worries, however. Brumbaugh contends that their processes and procedures have rectified the situation since.

“It was a violation of the rule. We, since 2020, again, we have new leadership, and a new building, and a new board, and a new standard operating procedures. And since then, the training has been enhanced."

"But we don’t dispute the allegation from the 2020 election.”….

So Georgia failed to follow their processes but still no proof that there was actual fraud. So all you have is speculation and conjecture. And you laugh at unnamed or anonymous sources,

And redstate? You like to dismiss articles simply because of the source but you quote redstate? That's

Im not saying you intentionally normalize. But you do tend to consistently drift towards the comfort of tradition and established rules and law. EG: your constant defense of SCOTUS rulings through the years regardless of logic, consistency or reason. The entire system is built on sophistry and hiding behind precedent…until it isn’t. Citizens United and Presidential immunity being examples.

It’s ok. You’re quite conservative. I’ll just continue to remind you of it.

Trump was clearly guilty of racketeering based solely on the call alone (Fat Tony from the Simpson’s voice chiming in “We wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to your store).

But if you think that’s all the Georgia case was based on, you need to go back for a refresher.

Wait…never mind…it will only would only deepen
your defense of the system.

So no other evidence, just allusions to it with nothing to back it up. And if you really think that phone call, completely by itself, would've gotten an indictment by a grand jury and would've gotten a conviction in a trial, then it's probably good you didn't go into the field of law as a profession.

The hypocrisy of your castigation of normalization is starting to defy belief. You stayed not just quiet, but actually cheerleaded the abnormal things done throughout the Biden administration because your sole focus was defeating Trump by any and all means possible. Modify existing law and statute of limitations specifically to be able to bring a case against Trump? Sure, no problem with that. Let jurors pick a felony from a list that could've been committed but were never proven, or even evidence presented, in order to allow another felony to be prosecuted. Sure, the ends justify the means, so go right ahead. I've always said, Trump is considerably detestable and abhorrent. He's an embarrassment of a President and really as a human being. But I don't abandon our legal system and our system of government just in the mad pursuit to try to block him from holding a political office. Ironically, that, even more than the damage Trump can do within the system, does more damage long term to our legal system and system of government. It's the virtual throw out the baby with the bathwater analogy, and you're well down that road.

I get it, you're liberal to a fault, and perpetually being on the attack to prevent Trump from holding the Presidency by any means possible is your lodestar. Just don't pretend like that isn't normalizing an abandonment of much of our democratic and republican ideals built over 250 years.

Before we relitigate the obvious again, I’ll require a retainer. And my legal fees ain’t cheap.

The rest of your defensive rant was rather boring and shows a nerve has been touched.

But go ahead and join SG and CH and tell me how Biden and Trump are the same. (Hint again more normalizing - you just can’t help it can you? )

And please remind me which side I’m on again?

GOP Strategist Reveals Why Trump Is Now ‘Politically Insane’

In an op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal on Friday titled “Alarm Bells Ring, Are You Listening?” Rove said Trump’s attitude toward the cost-of-living crisis and his sinking voter approval ratings on the economy should be a warning sign for the GOP.

“Mr. Trump despises Joe Biden, yet he’s making the same mistake his predecessor made,” Rove wrote. “Telling voters not to believe their own lying checkbooks was politically insane. Mr. Trump is doing the same thing.”
...
Rove, who worked in George W. Bush’s administration as an adviser, noted there is time for the Trump White House to turn things around ahead of next year’s elections, but said Trump’s current actions “chew up valuable time that should be spent winning over tepid supporters or persuading anyone open to voting Republican.”

“The president’s grotesqueries have to stop. His team has 10.5 months before voters decide the shape of his final two years as president. Every day matters,” Rove wrote.

“It doesn’t look good for the GOP next year. The White House is on the wrong track,” he wrote. “Time’s a-wasting.”

What we learned about the state of the Trump coalition in conversations with 50 voters this year

The voters who put President Donald Trump back in the White House last year still largely support him. But they are increasingly disagreeing with the president on issues like the economy and immigration, raising questions about the strength of his coalition heading into a midterm election year.
...
Few are fully off the Trump train, though a handful are. A larger group, though, have started raising concerns, primarily around what they see as a lack of follow-through on tackling inflation and the cost of living, which were key reasons they voted for Trump in 2024. An overlapping group also balked at the administration’s deportation policies.
...
But a number of others were less charitable on Trump’s inflation efforts, particularly toward the end of the year.
...
“He’s been focused on prosecuting his political enemies, pardoning people,” he said.
...
“It’s a bait and switch with him where he said he was for the average person but he actually favors big business, and then just does whatever he wants and there’s no consequences,” Virginia’s Justin K. said.

Immigration was a major piece of Trump’s promise during the 2024 campaign, and most Trump voters were supportive of his measures to clamp down on illegal border crossings.

But the focus groups also highlighted significant criticisms of the administration’s deportation policies, with voters believing Trump wasn’t properly prioritizing the removal of violent criminals over the removal of undocumented immigrants who posed little public safety threat. Some Trump voters directly panned the deportation policies as inhumane.
...
“The way that these people are being treated don’t align with my Christian values, or my pro-life values, or any of the values that a conservative may have,” she said.
...
“He was going to deport people that were criminals and have backgrounds,” she said. “But I see that he’s deporting people that work hard and have been in this country. I think he should find a way to help them stay and get citizenship or something.”

Somebody Needs to Tell Trump Everybody Is Laughing at Him

Dear President Trump,

Of all the wrong ideas you hold in your heart—that tariffs are paid by foreigners, that good looks are the chief credential for cabinet offices, that the 2020 election was rigged, that allies are bloodsuckers we’d be better off without—perhaps the most gobsmacking is your cherished notion that people respect you when they kiss your ass.

Sorry, that’s not true. They despise you on two levels. On the first level, because you’ve managed to get elected president, you do have leverage that nearly everyone must grapple with in some fashion. (Think of Volodymyr Zelensky.) That power comes not from you personally but from the great strength of this country, economic, military, and diplomatic. So yes, when you use that leverage to extort lavish praise from people, they will offer it. But they don’t mean a word of it. Not a word. And in their hearts they hate you for demeaning them in this fashion instead of treating them with respect.

The second level of contempt arises from the knowledge—recognized by the whole world, Mr. Trump, except you—that your extravagant need for attention and praise is evidence of your emotional stuntedness. With every renaming of a building you are sending up a signal that screams “I am so insecure!” And here’s the truth: You cannot piggyback on the respect John F. Kennedy earned by slapping your name on the arts center that was named by statute to be his living memorial. Your name may be side by side with his on the marble for now, but in our hearts, we will never respect you. Quite the opposite—for all of your depredations and twice on Sunday for attempting to hijack someone else’s honor.

It gets worse. It isn’t just that your ravenous hunger for recognition betrays a personality disorder, it’s that your particular style of seeking it really does provoke ridicule—that’s another word for “they’re laughing at us.”
...
Our traditional allies are not always laughing. More often they’re wringing their hands as you luxuriate in the company of international outlaws like Vladimir Putin and Nayib Bukele, and mouth stupendous lies such as that Zelensky started the war with Russia.

In short, there has never been a president who has made the United States less respected than you have. We are, to borrow a phrase, disrespected like never before. Whether your twisted ego can recognize that is open to question, but what is not debatable is that virtually the whole world knows.

Wow just wow. Smith shows himself to be a rogue crook. Any candidate is allowed to state the BELIEF there was fraud.

Context is important ...

There is no historical analog for what President Trump did in this case. As we said in the indictment, he was free to say that he thought he won the election. He was even free to say falsely that he won the election.

But what he was not free to do was violate Federal law and use knowing -- knowingly false statements about election fraud to target a lawful government function. That he was not allowed to do.

DEPOSITION OF: JACK SMITH

The First Amendment does not shield speech that is used as an integral part of a crime.

Despite Klamdamis ridiculous claims that the VA was suffering because of DOGE…… the VA has really picked up their game. Getting rid of Joey Rotten and all of his America hating miserable progressives ….was a great thing for the VA.

2025: A year of putting Veterans first

A lot can change in a year. Under President Trump's leadership, we have transformed the department from a bureaucratic organization to a service organization where veterans come first in everything we do.

VA is making major improvements during the second Trump Administration.
The backlog of Veterans waiting for VA benefits is down 57% since Jan. 20, 2025, after it increased 24% during the Biden Administration.
VA has eliminated the backlog of Veteran families waiting for VA health care.
VA is processing record numbers of disability claims, reaching an all-time fiscal-year high of three million claims processed Sept. 30.
VA opened 25 new health care clinics, expanding access for Vets around the country.
Since Jan. 20, VA has offered Veterans more than 1.4 million appointments outside of normal operating hours. These early-morning, evening, and weekend appointments are giving Veterans more timely and convenient options for care.
VA permanently housed 51,936 homeless Veterans across the country in FY25, the highest total in seven years.
VA is spending an additional $800 million on infrastructure improvements to ensure department facilities provide safe and effective patient care. The additional funds will come from savings gleaned from various VA reform efforts.
VA has made it easier and faster for VA-enrolled Veterans to access care from non-VA providers at the department’s expense.
VA has made it easier for women Veterans to access gynecology care.
VA is accelerating the deployment of its integrated electronic health record system, after the program was nearly dormant for almost two years under the Biden Administration.
VA partnered with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to identify and recover $106 million in duplicate billing.
VA has brought tens of thousands of employees back to the office, where we can work better as a team to serve Veterans.
VA has terminated union contracts for most bargaining unit employees and redirected millions in wasteful union spending back to Veterans.
VA ended DEI at the department, reversing the divisive Biden-era policies and stopping more than $14 million in DEI spending.
VA is phasing out treatment for gender dysphoria. Frankly, this commonsense reform should have been done years ago, but only President Trump and Secretary Collins had the courage to do it.
VA canceled Biden Administration plans to spend $77 million on electric vehicle chargers and is instead spending the money to fight cancer and improve health care at facilities around the nation.

I don't think Smith would have had to prove what thought was echoing around in that big empty head of trump's. He would have been able to call witnesses to testify if trump said anything about knowing he'd lost. Then it becomes a question of whether trump or his sycophants would be willing to perjure themselves to dispute those witnesses.

Regardless, what Smith said wasn't wrong and was not an attack on trump's free speech so you can take a deep breath, unbunch your panties and calm down your vapors.

I’ve got a question for ya. How many of Donald Trump’s family have served in the military? Zero.

Now, for me and my family, service to our country is in my blood.

My great-grandfather served in the U.S. Navy after immigrating from Ireland. Both of my grandfathers served during WWII. Both of my parents wore uniforms — my dad in the 82nd Airborne, and both of them as career police officers. And when it was our turn, my brother and I started as volunteer EMTs as teenagers before becoming Navy captains, pilots in the United States Navy, and NASA astronauts.

Donald Trump? He deferred the draft five times because he had bone spurs.

Look, not everyone has to serve in our military, I get that. But when you’re gonna question my patriotism, and lecture me about duty to this country, and threaten me with a court martial? Four generations of service to this country earns me the right to speak. Five deferments earns nothing.
