ginnie thomas, conservative activist and wife of supreme court justice played a much bigger role than we previously knew in pushing the election results. virginia ginnie thomas pressed arizona lawmakers after the 2020 election to set aside joe biden s popular vote victory and choose, quote, a clean slate of electors, that s according to emails obtained by the washington post. that email sent by thomas to lawmakers in 2020 argued that legislators needed to intervene because the vote had been marred by fraud. though she did not mention either candidate by name, the context was clear. thomas urged lawmakers to stand strong in the face of political and media pressure. she told lawmakers the chance to have lawmakers was yours and yours alone and had the power to fight back against fraud. that push by thomas in battle ground states ultimately culminated of alternate slate of trump electors being sent. the states are now under investigation by the justice department and they form

Home and Hillary Clinton administration. Indeed, he was one of the rare republicans there and the only, or one of the very few, populist conservatives. Thats strange, since Populist Conservatism is the platform his boss ran on. Like trumpet candidate, bannon was willing to criticize big republican donors in their ideological stranglehold in a corrupt g. O. P. Establishment. Hes able to break with orthodoxy and big and Dramatic Ways Con for higher taxes, better infrastructure, fewer pointless wars Around The World, and more. He understood that the countrys greatest crisis isnt robert e lee statues but the steady economic and moral decline of its once robust middleclass. Not surprisingly, traders on wall street cheered when he got fired this afternoon. The dow shut up 100 points on the news. Lobbyists in washington will be celebrating late into the night. The funny thing is, that in some important ways, steve bannon was more traditionally liberal than the liberals who spent the last
