Has the majority of the Sussex's money and funding come from USAid?

Which is exactly what one would do if one would prefer Russian Intelligence chose American leaders than letting American Citizens decide.

Perhaps, though, the very real, immediate damage MAGA’s disinformation about Hurricane Helene is causing might finally be a step too far. In what is at least a muted rebuke to Trump, Republican governors across the damaged area have stepped up to praise President Joe Biden and the federal response to the disaster.

Maybe, but it raises a very relevant and important question: Who are they going to *vote* for in November? The MAGA liars? Or the Democrats who have been making sure that they get aid in a non-partisan manner? 🤔

TLDR: Possibility that election day bomb threats were for eventually discrediting alterations to tabulation databases

Soooo, someone named Stephen Spoonamore is posting on spoutable that it's possible the 32 bomb threats were to break chain of custody, and cover up a hack to the tabulation systems in those counties. The link to this can be found here.

I have no clue how credible this guy is, nor am I any expert on the claims he's making. Therefore, I'm just sharing this and make no comment agreeing or disagreeing with these claims. While I haven't yet found the tv show he mentions being in, he's mentioned on the wikipedia article on Premier Election Solutions (Edit history indicates his name was in the article since at least 2011)

edit: clarified tldr

edit 2: the first entry in the thread is marked with an accuracy alert; however the author of that alert appears to have conflated Spoonamore's statements with something else.

edit 3: turns out that the number 32 was actually just one county. We are f*cked if we don't do anything.

Dictators are trying to get one of their own elected in America.

Voters here should not be dictated to by foreign war criminals.

CSIS AGREES TO SIT PIERRE POILIEVRE DOWN AND EXPLAIN JUST HOW RIDDLED WITH FOREIGN AGENTS THE CPC REALLY IS

"We may need to use small words and simple pictures," says CSIS head

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) told CBC News on Saturday that it's determined "the disclosure of some information to the leader of the Official Opposition through a threat reduction measure is appropriate." Classified information is typically shared only with people who have an appropriate security clearance and a relevant need to know, CSIS said in a statement. But under a threat reduction measure, "certain information can be disclosed to reduce a threat," and plans are being "finalized" to convey the information to Poilievre, the agency said. In October, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he asked intelligence services to find a way to brief Poilievre about foreign interference allegations involving his party — and possibly to share "some names" with the Conservative leader. "It would be easier if he got his security clearance, but I've asked them to give him some information nonetheless," Trudeau said at the time.

Poilievre has so far refused to go through the screening process to obtain a security clearance that would allow him to view the information Trudeau has referred to over the past two months.

Reminder that Pierre Poilievre is the only party leader to refuse a background check for a national security clearance, and that he has lied about receiving classified information from the Conservative Party chief of staff.

It's a sad fucking day. Bobo got re-elected and Jamal Bowman lost to the far right AIPAC candidate. Fuck everything.

[odinsblog]

AIPAC, a rightwing conservative, quasi-religious, foreign organization, is interfering with U.S. elections and shaping who is and who isn’t a member of Congress.

AIPAC is currently targeting progressives like Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Summer Lee, Jamaal Bowman, Greg Casar, Delia Ramirez, Maxwell Frost, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and others who do not feel beholden to Israel and are sympathetic to Palestinians.

If AIPAC was a super PAC funded by North Korea, or China, or Russia, or Iran—and interfering in elections by financing the campaigns of specific candidates—almost every member of Congress would be freaking out. And rightly so. This is no different.

Foreign Influence Law Protest Erupt in Tbilisi after being passed by Georgian Presidency

Foreign Influence Law Similar to Russia's Law banning the press, was recently passed in Georgia, setting the stage for a summer of conflict, and wars in both Northern Georgia, as well as, more importantly in Azerbaijan, and Armenia. My Analysis is Below:

Foreign Influence Law Similar to Russia’s Law banning the press, was recently passed in Georgia, setting the stage for a summer of conflict, and wars in both Northern Georgia, as well as, more importantly in Azerbaijan, and Armenia.

📨 An open letter to the U.S. Congress

⚖️ IMPEACH TRUMP. AGAIN.

✍️ 94 so far! Help us get to 100 signers!

Beginning Day 1 of Trump’s second administration, Congress must open an impeachment investigation based on the following grounds:

1. Violations of the Emoluments Clauses

The Emoluments Clauses (U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 9, Clause 8; and Article II, Section 1, Clause 7) prohibit presidents from profiting from foreign or domestic governments. The Founders understood these clauses to provide a critical safeguard against corruption, particularly corruption of the executive by foreign powers. Trump has violated these clauses by refusing to divest from his business holdings. At least five foreign governments pay a combined $2 million per month in fees for their units in Trump World Tower; and because all five of these foreign governments are currently paying Trump these monthly fees, Trump is in violation of the Foreign Emoluments Clause from the moment he took the oath of office.

2. Corrupt and Unlawful Campaign Practices

Trump’s 2024 re-election campaign included violations such as offering regulatory favors to oil and gas executives for donations, coordinating unlawfully with super PACs, and accepting prohibited contributions from Elon Musk via X (formerly known as Twitter) and via Musk’s million-dollar “lottery” scheme that paid out prizes only to individuals who would publicly support Trump. He also engaged in racist, xenophobic rhetoric by referring to immigrants in Aurora, Colorado as “blood thirty criminals” from whom voters have to be “rescued”, threatened physical violence, including murder, against political opponents, a U.S. military commander, journalists, and protesters, and spread dangerous disinformation about U.S. hurricane disaster response among other things.

3. Abuse of Power and Obstruction of Justice

Trump’s pardons for January 6 insurrectionists—including seditious conspirators—constitute an abuse of the pardon power. Trump himself engaged in insurrection on January 6, 2021, inciting hundreds of violent insurrectionists to storm the Capitol in order to try to overturn an election that he lost. His co-insurrectionists seized control of the Capitol, disrupted the peaceful transfer of power, assaulted law enforcement and journalists, vandalized the Capitol and individual congressional offices, and threatened the lives and safety of our elected officials and law enforcement. He has blocked investigations and accountability efforts, shielding himself and allies from the consequences of their actions in the insurrection. In the face of a president abusing his power, as he has done here, Congress has a responsibility to follow the mandate of Article II, Section 4 (the Impeachment Clause) of the US Constitution and initiate an impeachment inquiry.

Congress must act decisively:

By initiating impeachment proceedings, Congress will uphold its constitutional duty to safeguard democracy and hold the president accountable. Failure to act risks setting a dangerous precedent and further eroding public trust.

The time to act is now.
