Military Chiefs Planned Joint Resignation To Thwart Trumpâs âGospel Of The Fuhrerâ
Previously released excerpts from
I Alone Can Fix It, a new book by two
Washington Post reporters, indicated tension between members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Trump White House. However, additional material released by CNN takes this to a new and terrifying level. According to
Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker, senior military officers were so concerned that Donald Trump might drag the military into a coup, that they developed a plan to resign, one by one, rather than accept an order to take part in such a plot.
Cyber Ninjas Whine As Arizona Audit Is Proved Utterly Pointless Screenshot from azaudit.org
It s been three weeks since the Arizona audit âa process that involved the most partisan of Trump partisans searching for bamboo ballots and the ghostly fingerprints of Hugo Chavez, under the supervision of a firm created expressly to bolster conspiracy theoriesâapparently came to a close. That is, the audit farce is still officially underway, but three weeks ago Cyber Ninjas tweeted out an announcement that they were done pretending to count ballots, and had moved onto the most critical part of the process: terminal whining.

The leaders of the Republican PartyâRep. Matt Gaetz and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greeneâhave been touring the nation. Whether this is part of Gaetz s plans for expanding his sex trafficking ring, Greene s recruiting drive for terrorists, or simply a cash grab by both, isn t clear (except for the part where it definitely is a cash grab). What is clear is that it s a keen demonstration of the GOP is making a star out of anyone who is merely willing to be disgusting on a regular basis.

They were erected as monuments to white supremacy, not in the 1860s but the 1920s, a Jim Crow threat to Black citizens to know their place.
Now, as then, there are those opposed to this bit of progress, with arguments that removing the stone idols would mean erasing history, which is ridiculous since that history will never disappear from books, museums and tall tales handed down by the never forget brigade.
House Democrats Demand Answers From Cyber Ninjas On Arizona âFrauditâ
The conspiracy theory-driven audit of ballots in Maricopa County, Arizona, has raised a lot of questions. After all, it was only partially paid for by the Arizona state Senate, with the rest of the money coming from unknown donors. It was conducted by a company with no known experience in election audits and headed by someone who has tweeted pro-Trump conspiracy theories. And it involved questionable moves like inspecting ballots for bamboo fibers in an effort to prove a conspiracy theory about ballots being flown in from South Korea.
House Democrats are demanding answers to those questions, in a 13-page letter to Cyber Ninjas, the shady company hired by Arizona Senate Republicans to carry out the fraudit. Starting with this: The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is seeking to determine whether the privately funded audit conducted by your company in Arizona protects the right to
