Anti-Gay Wedding Website Ruling Based on FRAUD
Reporter discovers man named in Anti-Gay Wedding Website Ruling by the United States Supreme Court is not gay and didn’t request a wedding website
Reports say the Anti-Gay Wedding Website Ruling by the United States Supreme Court was fraudulent because the man named in 303 Creative case is not gay and didn’t request a wedding website. Melissa Gira Grant, staff writer for The New Republic, talks about her interview with the person supposedly at the heart of the 303 Creative v. Elenis case and her reporting that suggests there is no basis in reality for the case that has become the vehicle for the conservative Supreme Court to allow discrimination against LGBTQ people.
This “ruling” sets the stage for Restaurants or any type of business you can think of to refuse service to anyone for ANY reason.
IMO, the man who was wrongly accused of being gay should sue the woman who brought the case, and since it was based on fraud, sue to make the Supreme Court reverse their decision.
Reporter discovers man named in 303 Creative case is not gay and did request a wedding website
Michael Steele is joined by Melissa Gira Grant, writer for The New Republic and Neal Katyal, former Acting Solicitor General during the Obama administration who argued and won a major win for voting rights in the landmark Moore v. Harper case this week. Grant discusses her reporting that the man named in Supreme Court’s 303 Creative ruling didn’t actually request a wedding website and other bizarre details that raise questions about the case’s legitimacy. “This was built on a fiction. It was based on an injury that has never happened,” Grant explains. Katyal discusses the harmful implications of arguing hypothetical cases. “It’s a tragedy that they didn’t find this information before,” Katyal says. “There is a procedure to get this case stricken from the books…Otherwise, the Supreme Court can dragged into all sorts of controversies that aren’t legal cases but just imaginary fights between people and that’s not what the court is about.”
This is proof of what an incompetent, radical-right-wing political HACK establishment the Supreme Court has become

Trump Indicted Over Stolen Classified Documents
Trump Indicted on 37 Felony counts, including 31 under the Espionage Act of “willful retention” of classified records over Top Secret Classified Documents which he took to Mar-a-Lago and refused to return which belong to the National Archives
A federal indictment unsealed Friday charges former President Donald Trump with 37 felony counts stemming from an investigation into the presence of a trove of classified information at his Florida estate and other locations after he left office.
Prosecutors led by special counsel Jack Smith allege that Trump arranged to remove a massive collection of highly sensitive classified material — much of which consists of intelligence about the “defense and weapons capabilities” of the United States and foreign countries — to his private residence as he left the White House in January 2021.

Apr 28, 2024 UPDATE: Trump’s Valet Was Promised A Pardon If He Lied To The FBI
According to testimony from a witness to federal prosecutors, Donald Trump’s valet and indicted co-conspirator Walt Nauta was allegedly promised a presidential pardon if he lied to the FBI for the former president (if Trump won reelection.) It wasn’t immediately clear from the information released this week if the person who promised the pardon was Trump himself or another member of his team, but that doesn’t change the fact that this is now reaching conspiracy levels. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what happened.
Trump once said a president under felony indictment would grind the government to a halt and create a constitutional crisis
Majority Of Americans Say Trump Should Be Indicted And Not Just Democrats
After evidence presented by the Jan. 6 committee during its public hearings showed Donald Trump knew he lost the election and still tried to steal it, nearly 60 percent of Americans believe Trump should be criminally charged, according to an ABC News/Ipsos poll. In a major shift, the number of Republicans who think Trump is criminally liable has roughly doubled from April to June. Now, Trump is saying Kevin McCarthy was “foolish” to largely cancel the GOP out of the hearings. MSNBC’s Ari Melber is joined by former Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks to discuss the evidence against Trump.

Trump’s arrest shows the GOP’s double standard on FBI “compliance.” While many suspects are given minutes to comply with police, Trump was given months. In this special report, GOP’s double standard on “police rules” are exposed
Retired U.S. Army general blasts Trump in a devastating rant — and destroys every single one of his Republican enablers who are claiming that Trump “did nothing wrong” when he stole military intel. First, the former general set his sights on Donald Trump, declaring that “those in the military” are “the most pissed off” about Trump stealing Intel secrets.”
Then, the decorated General Mark Hertling declared that the sheer amount of Intel stolen is “gobsmacking” — but that’s not the worst part. The general revealed that even though the media is describing some of the Intel as “war plans,” the reality is MUCH worse.
He continued, “The documents were likely extremely detailed intelligence assessments, with potential foe (and ally) capabilities and weaknesses — and American war capabilities that we would not want anyone — especially our foes, to know. I have seen intel agencies, military units, foreign service officers put sweat and blood into providing these documents, making sure they are accurate. All those individuals KNOW they must get it right, because their work, their assessments, are provided to key decision-makers.
He continued, “One phrase in the indictment struck me like a bullet. Trump saying: ‘my boxes.’ None of these are his ‘personal papers.’ These documents provide information and intelligence – gathered through the use of US capabilities, put together by really smart, dedicated, patriotic individuals — to be used by US officials to defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”
Then, he set his sights on all of the Republican leaders, who are continuing to defend Trump, calling them “moronic” and declaring that, “Military and intel officials are pissed. All Americans should be equally pissed. But it seems that many are not — only because of how some in government are treating this case.”
Trump indictment is ‘vindication for the rule of law’
Professor Laurence Tribe tells MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell that accountability might finally reach Donald Trump after he was indicted in the documents case by Jack Smith, who Tribe says put together a “devastating” case using Trump’s own words of “espionage of the most serious sort.”

GOP’s History of Treasonous Tactics to Win Elections
Video shows GOP’s history of using unethical, unscrupulous, treasonous tactics to obtain the Presidency going back to Richard Nixon
Since Dwight Eisenhower left the presidency in 1961, six different Republicans have occupied the Oval Office.
As explained in the info & videos on this page, every one of them (except for Ford) from Richard Nixon to Donald Trump used unethical, unscrupulous tactics to obtain the presidency.
Nixon Prolonged Vietnam War to get elected president which cost thousand of lives
Nixon ran on a platform that opposed the Vietnam war, but to win the election, he needed the war to continue
In 1968, the Paris Peace talks, intended to put an end to the 13-year-long Vietnam War, failed because an aide working for then-Presidential candidate Richard Nixon convinced the South Vietnamese to walk away from the dealings, says a new report by the BBC’s David Taylor. By the late 1960s Americans had been involved in the Vietnam War for nearly a decade, and the ongoing conflict was an incredibly contentious issue, says PBS:
In 1967, with American troop strength in Vietnam reaching 500,000, protest against U.S. participation in the Vietnam War had grown stronger as growing numbers of Americans questioned whether the U.S. war effort could succeed or was morally justifiable. They took their protests to the streets in peace marches, demonstrations, and acts of civil disobedience. Despite the country’s polarization, the balance of American public opinion was beginning to sway toward “de-escalation” of the war.
Nixon feared a breakthrough at the Paris Peace talks designed to find a negotiated settlement to the Vietnam war, and he knew this would derail his campaign.
In late October 1968 there were major concessions from Hanoi which promised to allow meaningful talks to get underway in Paris – concessions that would justify Johnson calling for a complete bombing halt of North Vietnam. This was exactly what Nixon feared.
President Johnson had at the time a habit of recording all of his phone conversations, and newly released tapes from 1968 detailed that the FBI had “bugged” the telephones of the South Vietnamese ambassador and of Anna Chennault, one of Nixon’s aides. Nixon records show that in 1968, as a presidential candidate, he used Anna Chennault as his liaison in Vietnam, to persuade them to refuse a cease-fire being brokered by President Lyndon Johnson. This was done to hurt Democratic Presidential candidate Hubert Humphrey and help Nixon.
In the recently released tapes, we can hear Johnson being told about Nixon’s interference by Defence Secretary Clark Clifford. The FBI had bugged the South Vietnamese ambassadors phone. They had Chennault lobbying the ambassador on tape. Johnson was justifiably furious — he ordered Nixon’s campaign be placed under FBI surveillance. Johnson passed along a note to Nixon that he knew about the move. Nixon played like he had no idea why the South backed out, and offered to travel to Saigon to get them back to the negotiating table.
Though the basic story of Nixon’s involvement in stalling the Vietnam peace talks has been around before, the new tapes, says the Atlantic Wire, describe how President Johnson knew all about the on-goings but chose not to bring them to the public’s attention: he thought that his intended successor, Hubert Humphrey, was going to beat Nixon in the upcoming election anyway. And, by revealing that he knew about Nixon’s dealings, he’d also have to admit to having spied on the South Vietnamese ambassador.
Johnson was livid. He even called the Republican Senate Minority Leader, Everett Dirksen to complain that “they oughtn’t be doing this. This is treason.” “I know,” was Dirksen’s feeble reply.
Eventually, Nixon won by just 1 percent of the popular vote. “Once in office he escalated the war into Laos and Cambodia, with the loss of an additional 22,000 American lives, before finally settling for a peace agreement in 1973 that was within grasp in 1968,” says the BBC.
This treason cost the lives of many service men. To Nixon, getting elected was more important. I’ll never understand why Johnson (who I’m no fan of) didn’t expose Nixon in a national address to the nations as he should of for his treason. Johnson’s failure to expose Nixon cost Hubert Humphrey & Democrats the election and the lives of thousands of our troops.

Trump ‘won’ the 2016 election using unscrupulous, underhanded means.
When Donald Trump said, “This election is rigged”—he should know. His buddies rigged it.
Rolling Stone investigative reporter Greg Palast busted Jeb Bush for stealing the 2000 election by purging Black voters from Florida’s electoral rolls. Now Palast is back to take a deep dive into the Republicans’ dark operation, Crosscheck, the secret purge list that helped steal the 2016 Election.
Republicans used Crosscheck to illegally purge thousands of voters off the voter roles, Trump conspired with the National Enquirer to smear political opponents, and Putin / Russia helped Trump’s campaign. Therefore Trump ‘won’ the 2016 election using unscrupulous, underhanded means.
Crosscheck is controlled by a Trump henchman, Kris Kobach, Kansas Secretary of State who claims his computer program has identified 7.2 million people in 29 states who may have voted twice in the same election–a felony crime. The catch? Most of these “suspects” are minorities—in other words, mainly Democratic voters. Yet the lists and the evidence remain “confidential”.
Rolling Stone investigative reporter Greg Palast busted Jeb Bush for stealing the 2000 election by purging Black voters from Florida’s electoral rolls. Now Palast is back to take a deep dive into the Republicans’ dark operation, Crosscheck, designed to steal a million votes by November.
Crosscheck is controlled by a Trump henchman, Kris Kobach, Kansas Secretary of State who claims his computer program has identified 7.2 million people in 29 states who may have voted twice in the same election–a felony crime. The catch? Most of these “suspects” are minorities—in other words, mainly Democratic voters. Yet the lists and the evidence remain “confidential.”
Palast and his investigative side-kick Badpenny do what it takes to get their hands on the data, analyze it and go find some of these 7.2 million Americans tagged “suspects” and “potential duplicate voters” whose votes are threatened this November.
They hunt down and confront Kobach with the evidence of his “lynching by laptop.” Then they are off to find the billionaires behind this voting scam.
In this interview, Greg talks about his new film, “The Best Democracy Money Can Buy”. Called “The most important investigative journalist of our time”, Palast has been working for the BBC for 20 years and writes for the Guardian and the Rolling Stone.
In 27 states, a program called the Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck suppressed and purged enough minority voters to swing the election for Donald Trump.
The rigging was a simple process: in 27 Republican-controlled states (including critical swing states) hundreds of thousands (possibly millions) of people showed up to vote, but were mysteriously blocked from voting for allegedly being registered with the intent to vote in multiple states.
The above video recorded on November 26, 2017 with MSNBC Host Joy Reid interviewing Greg Palast is the only interview done about this on any Television Network.
Millions of Black, Hispanic & Asians Voters Have Been Purged
Greg Palast, Al Jazeera, BBC News, The Guardian/Billionaires & Ballot Bandits joins Thom Hartmann. Jim Crow-style voter suppression has returned to America. That’s the conclusion of a shocking new report from investigative journalist Greg Palast for Al Jazeera America that takes a deep dive into a controversial program known as Interstate Crosscheck. According to his investigation “election officials in 27 states, most of them Republicans, have launched a program that threatens a massive purge of voters from the rolls. Millions, especially black, Hispanic and Asian-American voters, are at risk.”

Per the above article: The massive election-rigging scandal the media ignored. In 27 states, a program called the Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck suppressed and purged minority votes
The election of 2016 may well have been stolen — or to use Donald Trump’s oft-repeated phrase — “rigged,” and nobody in the media seems willing to discuss it.
The rigging was a pretty simple process, in fact: in 27 Republican-controlled states (including critical swing states) hundreds of thousands (possibly millions) of people showed up to vote, but were mysteriously blocked from voting for allegedly being registered with the intent to vote in multiple states.
Greg Palast, an award-winning investigative journalist, writes a stinging piece in Rolling Stone magazine (August 2016 edition), predicting that the presidential election had already been decided: “The GOP’s Stealth War Against Voters.” He also wrote and produced a brilliant documentary on this exact subject that was released well before the election, titled The Best Democracy Money Can Buy.
He said a program called the Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck had been quietly put together in Kansas and was being used by Republican secretaries of state in 27 states to suppress and purge African American, Asian and Hispanic votes in what would almost certainly be the swing states of the 2016 election.
Crosscheck was started by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach back in 2007 under the guise of combating so-called voter fraud. In the ultimate thumb in the eye to the American voter, the state where Crosscheck started was the only state to refuse to participate in a New York Times review of voter fraud in the 2016 election, which found that, basically, there wasn’t any fraud at the level of individual voters. Turns out, according to Palast, that a total of 7 million voters—including up to 344,000 in Pennsylvania, 589,000 in North Carolina and up to 449,000 in Michigan (based on available Crosscheck data from 2014)—may have been denied the right to have their votes counted under this little known but enormously potent Crosscheck program.
2016 Exit Polls vs. Actual Results: Here’s What May Have Happened
The 2016 presidential election polls show that Donald Trump lost in four key swing states. Did Hillary Clinton win the election after all? Here are the facts.
Here are examples of Crosscheck in action:
Trump victory margin in Michigan: 13,107
Michigan Crosscheck purge list: 449,922
Trump victory margin in Arizona: 85,257
Arizona Crosscheck purge list: 270,824
Trump victory margin in North Carolina: 177,008
North Carolina Crosscheck purge list: 589,393
“University of Wisconsin-Madison political scientist Kenneth Mayer found that between 12,000 and 23,000 registered voters in Madison and Milwaukee—and as many as 45,000 statewide—were deterred from voting by the ID law. “We have hard evidence there were tens of thousands of people who were unable to vote because of the voter ID law”. Link to full article below.
That’s way more than enough votes to swing the 2016 election to Hillary Clinton and the Democrats.
There’s more…
Exit polls in key states, FLORIDA , NORTH CAROLINA and WISCONSIN showed Hillary Clinton the winner.
Using exit poll totals compiled by election researcher Theodore de Macedo Soares, seen in the table below on this page as well as available at this link, compared to an ongoing tally of raw votes totals posted at this link by Dave Wasserman of Cook Political Report, here is the discrepancy that has caused the suspicions of what Trump himself would call a “rigged election.”
Note that actual vote totals are compiled as of November 16.
FLORIDA — 29 Electoral Votes

OTHER SOURCES CLAIM THE 2016 ELECTION WAS RIGGED
The League of Women Voters claim “The 2016 Presidential Election WAS Rigged” in their article at lwv.org/press-releases/2016-presidential-election-was-rigged by Voter Suppression.
Chris Carson, president of the League of Women Voters stated “In Wisconsin, President-elect Trump beat Secretary Clinton by roughly 27,000 votes, however according to federal court, 300,000 registered voters lacked the proper photo ID.
Details regarding 300,000 registered voters lacked photo ID at thenation.com/article/the-gops-attack-on-voting-rights-was-the-most-under-covered-story-of-2016/
“We are not talking about vigilante voter intimidation,” said Carson. “We are talking about official, legal voter suppression by state legislatures and election officials.”
Like the 2000 & 2004 Elections, this matter is not being reported by the mainstream media.
The GOP’s Stealth War Against Voters
Will an anti-voter-fraud program designed by one of Donald Trump’s advisers deny tens of thousands their right to vote in November?
Yes, the election was rigged. Here’s the proof.
It starts with this story in Wisconsin.
Writer and author Thom Hartman discusses exit polls which showed Hillary Clinton ahead of Trump in states like Florida. Also discussed is a Voter Suppression tactic Republicans has been using for the last 50 years called “Redshift”.
Clint Curtis, a veteran computer programmer, testifies at a U.S. Congressional Hearing about being contacted by a Florida Republican to rig Florida’s elections.
In the above video, a computer programmer (Clint Curtis) testified to a congressional committee that in October of 2000, he wrote a program for a prominent Florida Republican (Tom Feeney, who was Speaker of the House, per testimony in the above video) which could flip votes and be undetectable. In September 2006, Feeney was named one of the “20 Most Corrupt Members of Congress”.
This shows Republicans history of efforts to rig / flip elections so it would be undetectable.
Note how this machine is rigged for Romney in 2012. It appears when a voting machine is rigged, it’s usually rigged for a Republican. Most companies which makes voting machine are owned by Republican owners.
UPDATE: Jan 24, 2007 Two election workers in the state’s most populous county were convicted of illegally rigging the 2004 presidential election recount so they could avoid a more thorough review of the votes.
Jacqueline Maiden, the elections’ coordinator who was the board’s third-highest ranking employee when she was indicted last March, and ballot manager Kathleen Dreamer each were convicted of a felony count of negligent misconduct of an elections employee.
Maiden and Dreamer also were convicted of one misdemeanor count each of failure of elections employees to perform their duty. Both Maiden & Dreamer got 18 months in prison.
The 2000 election was rigged before the first vote was cast.
Videos and information posted on this page shows how the 2000 election was rigged and George W Bush was an illegitimate President.
Here’s the details…
Jeb Bush was the Republican Governor of the State of Florida and brother of the Republican Presidential candidate George W. Bush.
Republican Secretary of State, Katherine Harris was also co-chair of Bush’s Florida campaign, clearly a conflict of interest in conducting a fair and impartial election.
Jeb Bush and Katherine Harris promised to “Deliver Florida” to George W. Bush as reported in numerous newspaper articles.
Secretary of State, Katherine Harris and Governor Jeb Bush had the motive and the means to make sure Florida’s decisive electoral votes were “delivered” to George W. Bush.
They accomplished this by illegally purging thousands of black voters off of the Florida voter rolls, ensuring an unfair advantage to George W. Bush, as shown in the above video.
As shown in the “2000 Election Rigged for Bush” video, ChoicePoint / DBT was given a $4 million no-bid contract under the Jeb Bush administration which wrongly and illegally purged thousands of African Americans from the Florida voter rolls.
Jame Lee, Vice President of Choicepoint / DBT testified to a panel called by US Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney that the State of Florida Division of Elections stated it only wanted 80% accuracy on the list. In other words, to be identified as a convicted felon, one only need to have a similar name to that as someone listed on a Texas convicted felon’s list. You can view Mr. Lee’s testimony in the above video.
According to the Brennan Center for Justice “Florida registrants were purged from the rolls if 80 percent of the letters of their last names were the same as those of persons with criminal convictions. Those wrongly purged included Reverend Willie D. Whiting Jr., who, under the matching criteria, was considered the same person as Willie J. Whiting. Without specific guidelines for or limitations on the authority of election officials conducting purges, eligible voters are regularly made unnecessarily vulnerable”.
As it turned out, almost everyone on the Florida purged voters list had the right to vote.
Antonin Scalia and his Radical Right Wing Republican majority of 5 “Justices” subverted democracy & engaged in partisan politics by stopping the 2000 election vote count. The above video explains the shocking details.
This caused George W. Bush to be installed as President. At the time the votes were stopped by the Supreme Court, there were only 154 votes separating Al Gore from George W. Bush.
With only 154 votes separating Al Gore from George W. Bush, it’s easy to see how purging thousands of black voters being off of the Florida voter rolls rigged the 2000 election and handed it to George W. Bush on a Silver Platter.
If all of the illegally disqualified voters had been allowed to vote and all votes counted, the total votes would have decisively shown Al Gore to be the winner of the State of Florida and therefore the Presidency.
It was Jeb Bush’s illegal voter purge and Republicans who subverted Democracy by not allowing the votes to be counted that caused the installation of George W. Bush and the U.S. to have a Radical Right Wing Republican majority in the Supreme Court.
Let’s not forget that Al Gore received 543,895 more votes than George W. Bush. Al Gore was the majority of American’s choice for president so Democracy was violated.
REPUBLICANS DETERMINED TO STOP THE VOTE COUNT, OBSTRUCTED DEMOCRACY
https://web.archive.org/web/20161218182154/https://www.thenation.com/article/john-bolton-vs-democracy/
As stated in the above article, John Bolton was one of the pack of lawyers for the Republican presidential ticket who repeatedly sought to shut down recounts of the ballots from Florida counties before those counts revealed that Gore had actually won the state’s electoral votes and the presidency.
2000 Election GOP House Thugs “Brooks Brothers Riot” also helped stop the Florida Recount which might have declared Al Gore the winner.
In this clip from the 2015 CNN documentary Bush v Gore, John “Mac” Stipanovich admits Republicans were determined to stop the vote count to make sure George W. Bush was installed as President. This proves Republicans only cared about winning and to HELL with Democracy and the will of the American people.
The Theft of an election and installation of an illegitimate president is the one of worst possible crimes which a government could commit against it’s citizens… yet that is what our government perpetrated against the citizens of the United States, and NOTHING has been done about it.
According to Lance deHaven-Smith, in his book entitled The Battle for Florida…
“Top Republicans used the powers of their offices to inject partisanship and instill fear down through the ranks of the state bureaucracy. In 1998 political operatives working for the Speaker of the house secretly examined voter registration records to learn the party affiliations of specific state employees and to identify agencies with high concentrations of Democrats.
After it was determined that the most Democratic agency in the state government was the Florida Department of education, the department was restructured and the positions of many of its employees were eliminated. Florida law forbids any consideration of partisan orientations in state hiring, firing, and contracting, but it fails to contemplate the more sinister possibility that highly partisan elected officials might purge the state bureaucracy indirectly by reorganization and privatization.”
According to hermes-press.com, “No sooner had he taken the oath of office than Jeb Bush began ferreting out and replacing Democrats throughout Florida state government, his first purge of Democratic voters.
Jeb and his cohorts let special interests know that they expected political donations of $2 for every $1 donated to Democrats or defaulters would lose access to the governor and the legislative leadership.
On Election Day 2000, rich white Republican voters stood in short lines and used up-to-date equipment, including electronic machines that let them correct their ballots.
African-American Voters Blocked from Reaching Polling Places by Police Roadblocks
Things were different in black districts. Some voters were flagged down at roadblocks, where highway patrol officers checked their drivers’ licenses. This was documented in sworn testimony to The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. (Click here for more details).
Others waited in long lines for an inadequate number of booths and ancient recording equipment. All too often, innocent citizens whose names appeared on the ex-felons list were informed for the first time that they could not vote when they showed up at the polling place.
Some votes were simply trashed by ballot handlers. In Duval County, 27,000 ballots were discarded, over half of them from black precincts in Jacksonville. No official challenges were filed within the 72-hour time limit, so thousands of mostly Democratic votes were lost. Sixteen-thousand votes for Gore disappeared overnight from the ongoing Volusia County tally and were reinstated only when an election supervisor questioned the subtraction of already registered votes. No voting machine company representative or election official was able to explain what happened.
Greg Palast, an award-winning American reporter based in England, broke the story of the scrub list and documented its sleazy origins in The Observer, London, November 26, 2000. Updates, as well as each edition of The Best Democracy Money Can Buy have added irrefutable, hard evidence of fraud. (Palast’s most recent estimate of all qualified Florida voters barred from casting a ballot in Election 2000 stands at 90,000.)
The story was huge in Europe, but the American press ignored it completely. Massive civil rights violations that subverted an election just didn’t resonate with the mainstream press. On January 10, 2001, lawyers acting for the NAACP sued and won their case against ChoicePoint’s DBT, Secretary of State Katherine Harris (who coincidentally was enthusiastically co-chairing the Bush campaign), and Bush loyalist Clay Roberts, Director of the Division of Elections. In July 2002, to atone for its staggering error rate of 95%, DBT agreed to remove innocent voters from the now infamous list of purported ex-felons. (In 2002, the purge list hadn’t been corrected. In 2004, another suspicious list appeared. (end quote from hermes-press)
The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights 2000 Election Investigation Recommended that the U.S. Department of Justice should “immediately initiate the litigation process against the governor” (Jeb Bush)
The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights conducted an extensive public investigation of allegations of voting irregularities during the 2000 presidential election in Florida.
“There emerges a confluence of circumstances that indicates intimidation and harassment of the Florida voters, and that was set in motion long before the November election,” said Commissioner Victoria Wilson of the US Commission on Civil Rights in their report, “Voting Irregularities in Florida During the 2000 Presidential Election.” Issued June 8, 2001, the report accuses Florida election officials of “gross dereliction” and “injustice.”
To follow is some of the text from the report at http://www.usccr.gov/pubs/vote2000/report/ch9.htm
“Voting Irregularities in Florida During the 2000 Presidential Election”
“The investigation, utilizing the Commission’s subpoena power, included three days of hearings, more than 30 hours of testimony, 100 witnesses, and a systematic review of more than 118,000 pages of pertinent documents.
Responsibility Without Accountability
Florida’s governor is the state’s chief executive officer who “shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” Florida’s secretary of state is the chief election officer and oversees the Division of Elections. Each county has an elected supervisor of elections, except one. Together, the secretary of state and the county supervisors of elections preside over Florida’s elections.
Governor John Ellis Bush
When asked about his responsibilities to ensure the election laws of Florida were faithfully executed during the November 2000 election, Governor Bush testified before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights that he had no real legal authority over election matters except for certifying the election and serving as a member of the state canvassing board. He indicated that he recused himself from participating on the state canvassing board because his brother was one of the presidential candidates. Governor Bush testified that “governors have the moral authority . . . to make sure that the laws, not only the state laws, but . . . also federal laws are upheld. . . .” When asked what authority and responsibility he had regarding preparation for the 2000 presidential election, Governor Bush testified that he had none and that “the secretary of state and the 67 supervisors of elections were responsible for that, and they carried out their duties.”
Under the Florida Constitution, the governor is charged with ensuring that “the laws be faithfully executed,” a responsibility Governor Bush apparently delegated to others with respect to elections. Under Florida election law, the governor is also specifically empowered to “appoint special officers to investigate alleged violations of the election laws . . .” Governor Bush testified that he had not appointed any officers to do any investigation of alleged irregularities surrounding the November 2000 election but would “if there was a reason to do so.” As of the date of this report there is no indication that the governor has exercised this authority by appointing special officers to investigate the widespread allegations of violations of the Florida election law”.
Findings:
Despite the closeness of the election, it was widespread voter disenfranchisement, not the dead-heat contest, that was the extraordinary feature in the Florida election.
Disenfranchisement of Florida voters fell most harshly on the shoulders of African Americans. Statewide, based on county-level statistical estimates, African American voters were nearly 10 times more likely than white voters to have their ballots rejected in the November 2000 election.
Recommendations:
- The U.S. Department of Justice should immediately initiate the litigation process against the governor, secretary of state, director of the Division of Elections, specific supervisors of elections, and other state and local officials responsible for the execution of election laws, practices, and procedures, regarding their contributions, if any, to the extraordinary racial disparity in the rate that votes were rejected, through their actions or failure to act before and during the 2000 presidential election, in violation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended. Appropriate enforcement action should be initiated to ensure full compliance with the election laws.
- The Civil Rights Division in the Office of the Florida Attorney General should initiate the litigation process against state election officials who violated the Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended, and/or Title IX of the Florida statutes through their actions or failure to act before, during, and after the November 2000 election. Based on the results of the investigation, appropriate enforcement action should be initiated to ensure full compliance with the election laws.
- The U.S. Department of Justice and the Civil Rights Division in the Office of the Florida Attorney General should initiate the litigation process against all state election officials who through their actions or failure to act violated the Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended, by not obtaining preclearance either from the federal district court of Washington, D.C., or the U.S. attorney general. Based on the results of the investigation, appropriate enforcement action should be initiated to ensure full compliance with the election laws”.
END OF QUOTE:
Note that the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights recommended that the “U.S. Department of Justice should immediately initiate litigation process against the governor, secretary of state, director of the Division of Elections, specific supervisors of elections, and other state and local officials responsible for the execution of election laws”.
Bush is guilty of War Crimes by attacking Iraq, a country which had nothing to do with 9/11 or attacking the United States. He caused the deaths of over 4,000 American Troops and over 112,000 Iraqi civilians.
If we had a REAL Democracy, George W. Bush would NOT have been President because Gore received almost 600,000 more votes than Bush.
The Corruption of the Republican Party
The GOP is best understood as an insurgency that carried the seeds of its own corruption from the start.
Per the above article; “Why has the Republican Party become so thoroughly corrupt? The reason is historical—it goes back many decades—and, in a way, philosophical. The party is best understood as an insurgency that carried the seeds of its own corruption from the start.
The corruption I mean has less to do with individual perfidy than institutional depravity. It isn’t an occasional failure to uphold norms, but a consistent repudiation of them. It isn’t about dirty money so much as the pursuit and abuse of power—power as an end in itself, justifying almost any means. Political corruption usually trails financial scandals in its wake—the foam is scummy with self-dealing—but it’s far more dangerous than graft. There are legal remedies for Duncan Hunter, a representative from California, who will stand trial next year for using campaign funds to pay for family luxuries.* But there’s no obvious remedy for what the state legislatures of Wisconsin and Michigan, following the example of North Carolina in 2016, are now doing.
Republican majorities are rushing to pass laws that strip away the legitimate powers of newly elected Democratic governors while defeated or outgoing Republican incumbents are still around to sign the bills. Even if the courts overturn some of these power grabs, as they have in North Carolina, Republicans will remain securely entrenched in the legislative majority through their own hyper-gerrymandering—in Wisconsin last month, 54 percent of the total votes cast for major-party candidates gave Democrats just 36 of 99 assembly seats—so they will go on passing laws to thwart election results. Nothing can stop these abuses short of an electoral landslide. In Wisconsin, a purple state, that means close to 60 percent of the total vote.
The fact that no plausible election outcome can check the abuse of power is what makes political corruption so dangerous. It strikes at the heart of democracy. It destroys the compact between the people and the government. In rendering voters voiceless, it pushes everyone closer to the use of undemocratic means.
Today’s Republican Party has cornered itself with a base of ever older, whiter, more male, more rural, more conservative voters. Demography can take a long time to change—longer than in progressives’ dreams—but it isn’t on the Republicans’ side. They could have tried to expand; instead, they’ve hardened and walled themselves off. This is why, while voter fraud knows no party, only the Republican Party wildly overstates the risk so that it can pass laws (including right now in Wisconsin, with a bill that reduces early voting) to limit the franchise in ways that have a disparate partisan impact. This is why, when some Democrats in the New Jersey legislature proposed to enshrine gerrymandering in the state constitution, other Democrats, in New Jersey and around the country, objected.
Taking away democratic rights—extreme gerrymandering; blocking an elected president from nominating a Supreme Court justice; selectively paring voting rolls and polling places; creating spurious anti-fraud commissions; misusing the census to undercount the opposition; calling lame-duck legislative sessions to pass laws against the will of the voters—is the Republican Party’s main political strategy, and will be for years to come”.

America has Ignored GOP Crimes to Seize the White House Long Enough – It’s Time to Put this One in Prison
It’s now a certainty that the last legitimately elected Republican president who wasn’t a traitor to the United States was Eisenhower. In aggregate, this should be the biggest story in the media…
Per the above article: “It’s now a certainty that the last legitimately elected Republican president who wasn’t a traitor to the United States was Eisenhower. In aggregate, this should be the biggest story in the media.
It’s dizzying: in this one week we learn that there’s a witness to Reagan’s 1980 treason to seize the presidency, and that Donald Trump, who gave the Russians a spy in his first week in office (among other treasons), will be indicted for the crime that helped him avoid losing to Hillary Clinton. This is on top of Nixon’s well-documented treason with Vietnam and Bush’s explicit lies about Iraq.
It’s now a certainty that the last legitimately elected Republican president who wasn’t a traitor to the United States was Dwight D. Eisenhower. In aggregate, this should be the biggest story in the media.
On Saturday, the New York Times published a bombshell report that former Texas Speaker of the House of Representatives and Lieutenant Governor Ben Barnes has confirmed that he and former Nixon Treasury Secretary John Connally told the Iranians in 1980s if they held onto the American hostages until after the election, they’d be rewarded by Reagan with weapons and spare parts.
Also on Saturday, Donald Trump whined on his Nazi-infested social media site that he was going to be arrested this week for paying off Stormy Daniels and thus stealing the 2016 election (with help from Putin).
Republican candidates for president committing treason to get into or stay in the White House has been the norm since 1968: it’s time to seriously discuss the five-decade-long problem we have with treasonous and illegitimate GOP presidents.
It started in 1968, when President Lyndon Johnson was desperately trying to end the Vietnam war. It had turned into both a personal and political nightmare for him, and his vice president, Hubert Humphrey, who was running for President in the election that year against a “reinvented” Richard Nixon.
Johnson spent most of late 1967 and early 1968 working back-channels to North and South Vietnam, and by the summer of 1968 had a tentative agreement from both for what promised to be a lasting peace deal they’d both sign that fall.
But Richard Nixon knew that if he could block that peace deal, it would kill VP Hubert Humphrey’s chances of winning the 1968 election. So, Nixon sent envoys from his campaign to talk to South Vietnamese leaders to encourage them not to attend upcoming peace talks in Paris.
Nixon promised South Vietnam’s corrupt politicians that he’d give them a richer deal when he was President than LBJ could give them then (just like Reagan would later do with the Iranians).
The FBI had been wiretapping South Vietnam’s US agents and told LBJ about his effort to prolong the Vietnam War. Thus, just three days before the 1968 election, Johnson phoned the Republican Senate leader, Everett Dirksen, (you can listen to the entire conversation here):
President Johnson: Some of our folks, including some of the old China lobby, are going to the Vietnamese embassy and saying please notify the [South Vietnamese] president that if he’ll hold out ’til November 2nd they could get a better deal. Now, I’m reading their hand. I don’t want to get this in the campaign. And they oughtn’t to be doin’ this, Everett. This is treason.
Sen. Dirksen: I know.
Those tapes were only released by the LBJ library in the past decade, and that’s Richard Nixon who Lyndon Johnson was accusing of treason.
At that point, for President Johnson, it was no longer about getting Humphrey elected. By then Nixon’s plan had already worked and Humphrey was being wiped out in the polls because the war was ongoing.
Instead, Johnson was desperately trying to salvage the peace talks to stop the death and carnage as soon as possible. He literally couldn’t sleep.
In a phone call to Nixon himself just before the election, LBJ begged him to stop sabotaging the peace process, noting that he was almost certainly going to win the election and inherit the war anyway. Instead, Nixon publicly said LBJ’s efforts were “in shambles.”
But South Vietnam had taken Nixon’s deal and boycotted the peace talks, the war continued, and Nixon won the White House thanks to it.
An additional twenty-two thousand American soldiers, and an additional million-plus Vietnamese died because of Nixon’s 1968 treason, and he left it to Jerry Ford to end the war and evacuate American soldiers.
Nixon was never held to account for that treason, and when the LBJ library released the tapes and documentation long after his and LBJ’s deaths it was barely noticed by the American press.
Gerald Ford, who succeeded Nixon, was never elected to the White House (he was appointed to replace VP Spiro Agnew, after Agnew was indicted for decades of taking bribes), and thus would never have been President had it not been for Richard Nixon’s treason. He pardoned Nixon.
Next up was Ronald Reagan.
During the Carter/Reagan election battle of 1980, then-President Carter had reached a deal with newly-elected Iranian President Abdolhassan Bani-Sadr to release the fifty-two hostages held by students at the American Embassy in Tehran.
Bani-Sadr was a moderate and, as he explained in an editorial for The Christian Science Monitor, successfully ran for President that summer on the popular position of releasing the hostages:
“I openly opposed the hostage-taking throughout the election campaign…. I won the election with over 76 percent of the vote…. Other candidates also were openly against hostage-taking, and overall, 96 percent of votes in that election were given to candidates who were against it [hostage-taking].”
Carter was confident that with Bani-Sadr’s help, he could end the embarrassing hostage crisis that had been a thorn in his political side ever since it began in November of 1979.
But behind Carter’s back, the Reagan campaign worked out a deal with the leader of Iran’s radical faction — Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini — to keep the hostages in captivity until after the 1980 Presidential election. Khomeini needed spare parts for American weapons systems the Shah had purchased for Iran, and Reagan was happy to promise them.
This is the story that was finally confirmed just this past weekend with The New York Times’ reporting that we now know how the deal was conveyed to the Ayatollah and by whom.
This was the second act of treason by a Republican wanting to become president.
The Reagan campaign’s secret negotiations with Khomeini — the so-called “October Surprise” — sabotaged President Carter’s and Iranian President Bani-Sadr’s attempts to free the hostages.
As President Bani-Sadr told The Christian Science Monitor in March of 2013:
“After arriving in France [in 1981], I told a BBC reporter that I had left Iran to expose the symbiotic relationship between Khomeinism and Reaganism.
“Ayatollah Khomeini and Ronald Reagan had organized a clandestine negotiation, later known as the ‘October Surprise,’ which prevented the attempts by myself and then-US President Jimmy Carter to free the hostages before the 1980 US presidential election took place. The fact that they were not released tipped the results of the election in favor of Reagan.”
And Reagan’s treason — just like Nixon’s treason — worked perfectly.
The Iran hostage crisis continued and torpedoed Jimmy Carter’s re-election hopes. And the same day Reagan took the oath of office — to the minute, as Reagan put his hand on the bible, by way of Iran’s acknowledging the deal — the American hostages in Iran were released.
Keeping his side of the deal, Reagan began selling the Iranians weapons and spare parts in 1981, and continued until he was busted for it in 1986, producing the so-called “Iran Contra” scandal.
But, like Nixon, Reagan was never held to account for the criminal and treasonous actions that brought him to office.
After Reagan — Bush senior was elected — but like Jerry Ford — Bush was really only President because he served as Vice President under Reagan. And, of course, the naked racism of his Willie Horton ads helped boost him into office.
The criminal investigation into Iran/Contra came to a head with independent prosecutor Lawrence Walsh subpoenaing President George HW Bush after having already obtained convictions for Weinberger, Ollie North and others.
Bush’s attorney general, Bill Barr, suggested he pardon them all to kill the investigation, which Bush did.
The screaming headline across the New York Times front page on December 25, 1992, said it all:
“THE PARDONS; BUSH PARDONS 6 IN IRAN AFFAIR, ABORTING A WEINBERGER TRIAL; PROSECUTOR ASSAILS ‘COVER-UP’”
And if the October Surprise hadn’t hoodwinked voters in 1980, you can bet Bush senior would never have been elected in 1988. That’s four illegitimate Republican presidents.
Which brings us to George W. Bush, the man who was given the White House by five right-wing justices on the Supreme Court.
In the Bush v. Gore Supreme Court decision in 2000 that stopped the Florida recount — and thus handed George W. Bush the presidency — Justice Antonin Scalia wrote in his opinion:
“The counting of votes … does in my view threaten irreparable harm to petitioner [George W. Bush], and to the country, by casting a cloud upon what he [Bush] claims to be the legitimacy of his election.”
Apparently, denying the presidency to Al Gore, the guy who actually won the most votes in Florida and won the popular vote nationwide by over a half-million, did not constitute “irreparable harm” to Scalia or the media.
And apparently it wasn’t important that Scalia’s son worked for a law firm that was defending George W. Bush before the high court (with no Scalia recusal).
Just like it wasn’t important to mention that Justice Clarence Thomas’s wife worked on the Bush transition team — before the Supreme Court shut down the recount in Florida — and was busy accepting resumes from people who would serve in the Bush White House if her husband stopped the recount in Florida…which he did. (No Thomas recusal, either.)
More than a year after the election a consortium of newspapers including The Washington Post, The New York Times, and USA Today did their own recount of the vote in Florida — manually counting every vote in a process that took almost a year — and concluded that Al Gore did indeed win the presidency in 2000.
As the November 12th, 2001 article in The New York Times read:
“If all the ballots had been reviewed under any of seven single standards and combined with the results of an examination of overvotes, Mr. Gore would have won.”
That little bit of info was slipped into the seventeenth paragraph of the Times story so that it would attract as little attention as possible because the 9/11 attacks had happened just weeks earlier and journalists feared that burdening Americans with the plain truth that George W. Bush actually lost the election would further hurt a nation already in crisis.
To compound the crime, Bush could only have gotten as close to Gore in the election as he did because his brother, Florida Governor Jeb Bush, had ordered his Secretary of State, Kathrine Harris, to purge at least 57,000 mostly-Black voters from the state’s voter rolls just before the election. Thousands of African Americans showed up to vote and were turned away from the polls in that election in Florida that Bush “won” by fewer than 600 votes.
So, for the third time in 4 decades, Republicans took the White House under illegitimate electoral circumstances. Even President Carter was shocked by the brazenness of that one. And Jeb Bush and the GOP were never held to account for that crime against democracy.*
To get re-elected, Bush used an old trick: become a “wartime president.” In 1999, when George W. Bush’s family decided he was going to run for president in the 2000 election, his parents hired Mickey Herskowitz to write the first draft of Bush’s autobiography, A Charge To Keep.
Although Bush had gone AWOL for about a year during the Vietnam war and was thus apparently no fan of combat, he’d concluded (from watching his father’s “little 3-day war” with Iraq) that being a “wartime president” was the most consistently surefire way to get reelected and have a two-term presidency.
“I’ll tell you, he was thinking about invading Iraq in 1999,” Herskowitz told reporter Russ Baker in 2004.
“One of the things [Bush] said to me,” Herskowitz said, “is: ‘One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as a commander-in-chief. My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of (Kuwait) and he wasted it.
“[Bush] said, ‘If I have a chance to invade Iraq, if I had that much capital, I’m not going to waste it. I’m going to get everything passed I want to get passed and I’m going to have a successful presidency.’”
This week is also the 20th anniversary of Bush lying us into that war, an act of treason against America that cost 900,000 Iraqi lives, over 7,000 American lives (on the battlefield: veterans are still committing suicide daily), and over $8 trillion added to the national debt.
Which brings us to the first Republican president who may actually be held accountable for the crimes he committed to get into the White House.
In 2016, Trump ally Kris Kobach and Republican Secretaries of State across the nation used Interstate Crosscheck to purge millions of legitimate voters — most people of color — from the voting rolls just in time for the Clinton/Trump election.
Meanwhile, Russian oligarchs and the Russian state, and possibly pro-Trump groups or nations in the Middle East, are alleged to have funded a widespread program to flood social media with pro-Trump, anti-Clinton messages from accounts posing as Americans, as documented by Robert Mueller’s investigation.
It was so blatant that it provoked the U.S. Intelligence Community’s assessment of their similar actions during the 2020 election (done while Trump was still president but released in March, 2021) pretty much declaring him a “Russian asset.”
It was a repeat, in many ways (albeit unsuccessful this time) of the Russian efforts in 2016. Then, you’ll remember, Republican campaign data on the 2016 election, including which states needed a little help via phony influencers on Facebook and other social media, was not only given to Konstantin Kilimnik by Paul Manafort, but Kilimnik transferred it to Russian intelligence.
Trump had recently been wounded politically by the “grab ‘em by the pussy” comment he’d made on the Access Hollywood videotape, and if the Stormy Daniels affair (just 4 months after Melania had given birth to Barron) had become public Hillary Clinton would have wiped the floor with him.
But he paid Stormy off to keep quiet, a check delivered by Michael Cohen who was then sentenced to three years in prison (and served one) for corruptly violating campaign finance and tax laws with that check to help Trump get into the White House.
Donald Trump still lost the national vote by nearly 3 million votes, but came to power in 2016 through the electoral college loophole designed to keep slavery safe in colonial America.
If the news about Stormy Daniels had gotten out in the weeks before the election, there never would have been a January 6th; 300,000 Americans wouldn’t have died unnecessarily from Covid; Iran would still be in compliance with the nuclear deal; Putin wouldn’t have invaded Ukraine; and our country wouldn’t have given the morbidly rich another $2 trillion in tax cuts while gutting the social safety net.
Thus, New York DA Alvin Bragg is about to prosecute the crime that set the stage for all of Trump’s other crimes in office.
One can only wonder how much better off America would be if six Republican Presidents hadn’t stolen or inherited a stolen White House and used it to put rightwing cranks on the Supreme Court and other federal benches while cutting taxes on the morbidly rich, destroying unions, and offshoring over 16,000 factories and 15 million good-paying union jobs.
Now, finally, there may be an opportunity for some accountability for our most recent criminal Republican president.
The depth and breadth of Trump’s involvement in the January 6th attempt to destroy our form of government and replace it with single-party strongman rule is becoming more and more obvious. As a result, the pressure is building to hold him and many of those in his administration to account.
America has ignored GOP crimes to seize and hold the White House long enough. The immunity Ford gave Nixon has echoed down through the decades, leading to a packed Supreme Court and two unnecessary and illegal wars (not to mention tax cuts for billionaires that have gutted our middle class).
It’s time, at long last, to put this one in prison”.

How Ronald Reagan & the GOP Killed the American Dream
How Ronald Reagan, Reaganomics and Republicans Killed the American Dream and drove up the debt
From trickle down Reagonomics to union busting to decimating the middle class and more, Ronald Reagan is responsible for many of the shifts that occurred at the end of the 20th century that caused the major inequalities we see in America today.
How Reagan’s NEOLIBERALISM destroyed the middle class
Author / Writer Thom Hartmann weighs in on his new book, “The Hidden History of Neoliberalism: How Reaganism Gutted America and How to Restore Its Greatness.”
Republicans accuse Democrats of being fiscally irresponsible. But as the video above shows, it’s Republicans who are responsible for running up the Debt & Deficits due to their excessive Military Spending and Tax Breaks for the Rich
National Debt exploded under REPUBLICANS Ronald Reagan & George H.W. Bush due to excessive military spending and tax breaks for the RICH.
This was all part of the “Two Santa Clauses” plan whereby they run up the debt & cut taxes when a Republican is President so they are viewed as a good “Santa Clause”. Then when a Democrat is President, Republicans scream about the National Debt, refuse to increase the debt ceiling, shut down the government if necessary to stop Democrats from spending any money on social programs which could help working Americans. Be sure to watch the SHOCKING video below about this.
REPUBLICANS increase the National Debt with excessive military spending and tax breaks to the RICH so there’s no money for Social Programs which benefit the middle class & the poor
The above video explains how for the past 40 years since Ronald Reagan was President, Republicans have been victimizing Americans using a tactic called the “Two Santa Clauses”, whereby they run up the debt & cut taxes when a Republican is President so they are viewed as the good “Santa Clause”. Then when a Democrat is President, Republicans scream about the National Debt, refuse to increase the debt ceiling, shut down the government if necessary to stop Democrats from spending any money on social programs which could help working Americans.
In this way, Republicans are literately punishing Americans for voting for Democrats who are dedicated to helping the middle class and the poor while doing everything possible to make sure Democrats can’t help the middle class and the poor, to make them look like the “Bad Santa Clause”.
This is another example of how Republicans are RUTHLESS… ONLY caring about seizing, maintaining power, being subservient to Corporate Interests and the RICH.
The national debt was increased by a projected 8 Trillion by Trump and Republicans due to military spending and tax breaks for the RICH
Inventor Of Trickle Down Economics Says Trump’s Tax Plan Is “Dead on Arrival”
David Stockman, the economist who developed the theory of trickle down economics during the Reagan administration, says that Trump’s tax plan is a giveaway to the wealthy elite and that it will result in an economic downturn. Stockman has admitted that his theory of trickle down economics is implausible, and he regrets the damage that his policy has caused this country.
Trump Tax Cuts Add WAY More Debt Than Advertised
“Experts” low-balled the amount of debt the Republican tax plan would entail.
The above video explains how George W. Bush took Democrat’s and Bill Clinton’s budget surplus and exploded the debt by almost 10 Trillion, doing what Republicans always do…. giving Tax Breaks to the Rich (as shown in the graphs below) and then tanked the economy.
As shown in these graphs, Republicans are responsible for reckless spending and will NEVER have a balanced budget due to their “Trickle Down Economics”, “Starve the Beast” and “Two Santa Clauses” tactics.
Video shows how Republicans exploded the debt under President George W. Bush.
Obama calls out Republicans for Causing Deficits and Debts
The Grover Norquist Tax Pledge which says Republicans shall never raise taxes helped skyrocket the Debt.
In an original broadcast essay, Bill says there’s more to Grover Norquist’s anti-tax pledge than ideology or principle — it’s also about Norquist’s efforts keep taxes low for his donor base of billionaires.
In this chart, the RED lines on the left side – the ones that keep doing DOWN – show what happened to jobs under the policies of Bush and the Republicans. We were losing lots and lots of jobs every month, and it was getting worse and worse. The BLUE lines – the ones that just go UP – show what happened to jobs when the stimulus was in effect. We stopped losing jobs and started gaining jobs, and it was getting better and better.
The leveling off on the right side of the chart shows what happened as the stimulus started to wind down: job creation leveled off at too low a level.
It looks a lot like the stimulus reversed what was going on before the stimulus. We have gone from losing around 850,000 jobs a month to gaining over 200,000 jobs a month.
Conclusion: THE STIMULUS WORKED BUT WAS NOT ENOUGH!
More False Things
These are just three of the false things that everyone “knows” because places like Fox News repeat them over and over and over. Some others are (click through): Obama bailed out the banks, businesses will hire if they get tax cuts, health care reform cost $1 trillion, Social Security is a Ponzi Scheme or is “going broke”, tax cuts grow the economy, government spending “takes money out of the economy.”
Actually This Reduced Spending And Lower Deficit Have Hurt The Economy
Government spending is literally, by definition, the things that government does to make our lives better. People have been tricked into thinking that government spending is somehow bad. The billionaires and giant corporations spread this nonsense around because they are greedy and just want their taxes lower. The top income tax rate used to be more than 90 percent and the top corporate tax rate used to be more than 50 percent. That was back when we built this country’s great infrastructure, had good schools and defended the world against the Soviet Union. We also had higher economic growth and a growing middle class.
Government spending does not “take money out of the economy.” In fact it puts money into the economy, creates jobs and lays the foundation for future prosperity. The decline in government spending shown in the charts above is the reason that the economy remains sluggish and jobs are still hard to get. Just look at that chart showing what the stimulus spending did for the job situation. But since the stimulus ended, Republicans have obstructed every effort to continue to use our government to help our economy.

Eisenhower’s Warning: Military Industrial Complex’s Growing Budget
United States military spending has ballooned since World War II, although Americans have historically been reluctant to go to war.
Military Spending is out of control due to Republicans. This is one of the Fourteen Characteristics of Fascism “3. Supremacy of the Military – Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.” More about how Republicans are Fascists
Robert Reich connects the dots to expose Republicans War on the Poor and Working Families including their opposition to minimum wage, unemployment insurance, food stamps and more.
Fox Guest Compares Poor People To Dogs Who Are Only Obedient When They’re Hungry
A Fox News guest this past week may have accidentally let the cat out of the bag when he said that poor people have it too good by receiving extended unemployment benefits, then drew a parallel to military dogs who are only obedient to commands when they are hungry. This is what the Right wants for America – a country so starving and desperate that they will do anything their masters ask them to do.
Rick Scott Forced To Lie About His Tax Plan After It Blows Up In His Face
Republican Senator Rick Scott is now trying to lie his way out of his plan to raise taxes on low income Americans, and he’s claiming that this was never part of his plan. However, it is clear as day in the plan as Scott prepared it, and no amount of creative talking and linguistic gymnastics are going to be able to change the fact that this is what he wanted to do.

Republicans are Debt Ceiling Hypocrites
Republicans are Debt Ceiling Hypocrites who spend more & raise the debt when a REPUBLICAN is President then demand cuts in spending when a Democrat is President
When a REPUBLICAN is President they explode the debt, then demand cuts in spending when a Democrat is President.
Republicans prove they only care about politics by increasing the debt three (3) times under Trump but now threaten to tank the economy unless there’s cuts under President Biden
GOP demolished with debt facts: Trump and Bush drove the trillion dollar deficits
After Trump’s historic spending spree, the GOP now calling for cuts under Biden. MSNBC’S Ari Melber shows you how Trump is responsible for 25% of U.S. debt, rising by $7 trillion and explains how the party of Reagan became the party of MAGA brinksmanship.
The national debt was increased by a projected 8 Trillion by Trump and Republicans due to military spending and tax breaks for the RICH
Trump Tax Cuts Add WAY More Debt Than Advertised
“Experts” low-balled the amount of debt the Republican tax plan would entail.
Former Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich explains the longtime Republican plan to slash Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
Republicans accuse Democrats of being fiscally irresponsible. But as the video above shows, it’s Republicans who are responsible for running up the Debt & Deficits due to excessive Military Spending and Tax Breaks for the Rich
National Debt exploded under REPUBLICANS Ronald Reagan & George H.W. Bush due to excessive military spending and tax breaks for the RICH.
This was all part of the “Two Santa Clauses” plan whereby they run up the debt & cut taxes when a Republican is President so they are viewed as a good “Santa Clause”. Then when a Democrat is President, Republicans scream about the National Debt, refuse to increase the debt ceiling, shut down the government if necessary to stop Democrats from spending any money on social programs which could help working Americans. Be sure to watch the SHOCKING video below about this.
REPUBLICANS increase the National Debt with excessive military spending and tax breaks to the RICH so there’s no money for Social Programs which benefit the middle class & the poor
The above video explains how for the past 40 years since Ronald Reagan was President, Republicans have been victimizing Americans using a tactic called the “Two Santa Clauses”, whereby they run up the debt & cut taxes when a Republican is President so they are viewed as the good “Santa Clause”. Then when a Democrat is President, Republicans scream about the National Debt, refuse to increase the debt ceiling, shut down the government if necessary to stop Democrats from spending any money on social programs which could help working Americans.
In this way, Republicans are literately punishing Americans for voting for Democrats who are dedicated to helping the middle class and the poor while doing everything possible to make sure Democrats can’t help the middle class and the poor, to make them look like the “Bad Santa Clause”.
This is another example of how Republicans are RUTHLESS… ONLY caring about seizing, maintaining power, being subservient to Corporate Interests and the RICH.
Republicans vote to De-fund the IRS
Inventor Of Trickle Down Economics Says Trump’s Tax Plan Is “Dead on Arrival”
David Stockman, the economist who developed the theory of trickle down economics during the Reagan administration, says that Trump’s tax plan is a giveaway to the wealthy elite and that it will result in an economic downturn. Stockman has admitted that his theory of trickle down economics is implausible, and he regrets the damage that his policy has caused this country.
The above video explains how George W. Bush took Democrat’s and Bill Clinton’s budget surplus and exploded the debt by almost 10 Trillion, doing what Republicans always do…. giving Tax Breaks to the Rich (as shown in the graphs below) and then tanked the economy.
Republicans are demanding stricter work requirements in the debt ceiling fight, which also include GOP demands for cuts targeting the poor. “You’re taking people off of SNAP, off of food stamps, and Medicaid,” MSNBC’s Ali Velhi tells Joy Reid. “What kind of country is looking to have fewer people have enough.”
As shown in these graphs, Republicans are responsible for reckless spending and will NEVER have a balanced budget due to their “Trickle Down Economics”, “Starve the Beast” and “Two Santa Clauses” tactics.

Vets Kicked Out for Migrants EXPOSED as LIE
FOX, Republicans and Right Wing Media caught LYING about veterans kicked out of a New York hotel to make room for Migrants
Fox News runs with fake story about migrants displacing homeless veterans
Fox News went all in on a story about migrants displacing veterans from a New York hotel, featuring it on no less than 15 different shows. The network even claimed to have substantiated the reporting themselves. But then the whole thing unraveled.
For days, Republicans have pushed a false story about veterans being kicked out of a New York hotel to make room for migrants. Now, the story has been proven to be a complete and total lie. Fred Wellman, host of ‘On Democracy with FPWellman’ podcast, and a US Army Veteran, reports.
Fox News host Laura Ingraham casually retracts fake story she and the network pushed for days about undocumented immigrants that completely made up

Republicans must lie to survive: They have no other choice
From Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump, the path to Republican political success is rooted in profound deception
Republicans Must Lie to Survive: They have No Other Choice
Per the above article; “The GOP exists to serve the interests of the wealthy and big business that comprise the richest 1%. No party, however, can ever win an election with only 1% of the vote. So to win elections, the GOP must necessarily reach beyond its own wealthy core and attempt to convince a large segment of working people in the 99% to vote for Republicans.
Normally, a political party wins elections by offering policies that benefit the voters. These policies attract the voters who then cast their votes for the political party.
But for the Republican Party, this is not an option. A candidate could not possibly campaign on the policies favored by the 1%. Just imagine the stump speech. “Vote for me and I will slash your health care! In fact, I’ll do even better — I’ll fight like mad to completely eliminate your health care!”
“Vote for me and I will get rid of your pensions! This would save corporations a bundle and boost profits to the shareholders! Screw the workers!”
“Vote for me and I promise to ship your jobs overseas under globalization! The exact same labor can be hired in Asia for only pennies! Hurray!”
The Republican Party is left with only one option. It cannot possibly be honest about its true intentions and actual policies. The working class would never vote for them. Instead, the only option is to lie”.
According to PolitiFact, Republicans Lie Three Times More Often Than Democrats.
The study found Republicans to be less trustworthy than Democrats, based on the number of false claims made during President Obama‘s second term.
The study, by Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA) at George Mason University, took into account 100 PolitiFact-checked statements made by Democrats (46 claims) and Republicans (54 claims) in the first four months of Obama’s second term.
“PolitiFact rated 32% of Republican claims as “false” or “pants on fire,” compared to 11% of Democratic claims – a 3 to 1 margin. Conversely, Politifact rated 22% of Democratic claims as “entirely true” compared to 11% of Republican claims – a 2 to 1 margin”.
“A majority of Democratic statements (54%) were rated as mostly or entirely true, compared to only 18% of Republican statements. Conversely, a majority of Republican statements (52%) were rated as mostly or entirely false, compared to only 24% of Democratic statements”.
CMPA President Dr. Robert Lichter stated: “While Republicans see a credibility gap in the Obama administration, PolitiFact rates Republicans as the less credible party.”
The reason Republicans can get away with lying more than Democrats is because Republican constituents has been conditioned to not trust the “Liberal Media”. So they are more likely to not question lies from Republican politicians.
When the news media calls out Republicans lies, average Joe Republican voters feels the “Liberal Media” is picking on the person who’s lying and lets the lies slide.

Florida Republicans Vote To HIDE Travel Records
Florida Fascist Republicans Vote to HIDE Travel Records from the Public
Florida governor Ron DeSantis has been traveling around the globe in recent weeks, and thanks to the Republican-controlled Florida legislature, we may never know who is paying for these trips. Florida Republicans voted to shield DeSantis’ travel records (and the records of other high-ranking state officials) from the public, allegedly out of an abundance of caution due to security concerns. But the fact that this legislation popped up immediately after people started asking questions is highly suspicious.

Historian Calls Ron DeSantis the ‘Florida Fascist’
Video shows how DeSantis is fighting for corporations (like most Republicans) and to advance his own political career.
Per the description from YouTube: “Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is at the center of a major corporate corruption scandal. DeSantis has signed off on $5.7 billion in tax write-offs and giveaways to corporation, while raising taxes on working people by $1 billion. In return, he’s banked about $30 million from Wall Street and other corporate donors”
DESANTIS FLORIDA: WHERE FREEDOM GOES TO DIE!
- Dystopian Laws Attacking Freedom of Speech to SILENCE & SUE Critics
- Culture Wars and “Woke” BULLSHIT
- Anti-choice Laws against Women’s Rights
- Laws limiting what can be discussed in classrooms, such as the “Don’t say Gay” law. These laws doesn’t fix any existing problems, they’re a “Solution in Search of a Problem” and unnecessary BIG Government regulations & restrictions which makes teachers jobs more difficult.
- Law mandating public colleges and universities survey students and faculty about their Political Beliefs (FL HB 233)
- Teachers must withhold classroom library books until they can be individually reviewed for certification or face being charged with a third-degree felony if violated. (Bill 1467)
- DeSantis Hostile Takeover of Liberal New College of Florida is following the playbook of Fascist Autocrat Dictator of Hungary Viktor Orban by taking control of Education
- Indoctrinate Educators with Radical Right Wing Ideology. (Per news reports) Encouraged by DeSantis, Christian nationalist values and an “originalist” interpretation of the U.S. Constitution is now being taught in Florida Schools.
- Florida HB 999 Republican plan to restrict the way history is taught at Florida’s colleges and universities is being condemned by academics & historians across the U.S. (Another example of Fascist, Authoritarian policies).
- DeSantis has publicly called for putting cameras and microphones into classrooms to monitor teachers. He wants more surveillance in every part of our lives, empowering legislators to police classrooms, doctor’s offices, the workplace.
- Voting Police to intimidate people so they’re afraid to vote in Florida
- Florida Employees Threatened With Demotions If They Criticize DeSantis
- Bill to eliminate the Democrat Party in the State of Florida, thereby creating One Party Rule similar to how Dictator Victor Orbán took over the once Democratic government in Hungary
- Florida ‘Bloggers Bill’ which would require anyone who writes about Florida Republicans and DeSantis to register with the state and put on an ‘enemies list’. This is another BLATANT violation of the 1st Amendment and attempt to SILENCE critics. This is the same Anti-Democratic, Fascist Authoritarian tactic used by the Nazi German Propaganda Ministry in 1933 called the “Editors Law” and in 2014 by War Criminal Dictator Vladimir Putin, forcing bloggers in Russia to register with the Russian Media office.
- Attacking Freedom of Speech – Bill HB 991 to significantly weaken libel laws. Critics believe this is an attempt to give Ron DeSantis even more power to sue his critics for saying things he doesn’t like. Bill 991 also gives Florida residents the right to sue others (both in the state or elsewhere in the U.S.) who describe their actions online as transphobic or homophobic, for $35,000 and would not allow the truth to be used in defenses against such lawsuits.

- Florida Senate Bill 254 would allow the state to take Trans children receiving gender-affirming care away from Parents
- Anti-Protesting Laws making protesting a felony & allowing protestors can be run over & killed with no consequences. This law was passed to silence and intimidate anyone who dare protest and raise objections to Republican’s oppression (similar to Russia and North Korea)
- DeSantis wants his own State Militia which would only answer to him and “not be encumbered to the federal government.”
- Felons Victimized by Republicans and DeSantis “Voter Fraud Crackdown”. Per an article at commondreams.org, “Most who were arrested were approved by the Florida Department of Elections, which sent their voter registration cards ahead of the 2020 elections. All were charged with third-degree felony voter fraud, a crime punishable by as many as five years behind bars and up to a $5,000 fine. The ACLU of Florida stated, “The arrests are a grotesque abuse of power by Gov. DeSantis”.
- Using Migrants as Props. Per an article at theguardian.com, “DeSantis should be prosecuted for his treatment of immigrants. Those conspiring with him appear to have acted criminally under Texas law. Title 5, section 20 of the Texas penal code defines the crime of unlawful restraint. Under the statute, a person is restrained if their movement is restricted without their consent by, among other means, moving the person from one place to another. Restraint is without consent “if it is accompanied … by deception”. Under the statute, the violation is a class A misdemeanor, unless the person restrained is younger than 17, in which case it is a felony. According to reporting, there were children among those criminally transported to Martha’s Vineyard”.
- DeSantis fought for and was given the authority to redraw Congressional districts to rig elections in Republican’s favor. This resulted in House Seats being stolen from Democrats. Another example of how Republicans know they can’t win elections unless they CHEAT because their policies are UNPOPULAR.

Republican Justices LIED to Get They’re Seats
Republican Appointed Right Wing Judges / Justices who Lied Under Oath to get they’re seats should be IMPEACHED and REMOVED
Sen. Whitehouse Exposes Right Wing Republican “Justices” who LIED Under Oath to Get They’re Seats
Radical Right Wing Extremist Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk appointed by Republican Trump, who banned the Abortion Pill (Mifepristone) stated in his Senate confirmation that it’s “Inappropriate for Religion to Influence Decisions”.
His banning the Abortion Pill lends credence that he LIED to get his Lifetime position due to his documented Radical Right Wing beliefs.
“First Liberty, where Kacsmaryk worked from 2014 to 2019 before joining the bench, has become one of the most influential groups for pushing for religious beliefs and institutions to exercise greater influence over public policy. First Liberty calls itself “the largest legal organization in the nation dedicated exclusively to defending religious liberty for all Americans.” Some of its most famous cases include that of Melissa and Aaron Klein, who, citing their religious beliefs, refused to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex couple, and that of the Bladensburg Peace Cross, a World War I memorial in Maryland, the public maintenance of which was challenged as unconstitutional because it “excessively entangled the government in religion.”
His fervent opposition to abortion arose as an issue during his confirmation hearings in 2019, as did his staunch opposition to same-sex marriage and his previous statement that transgender Americans were “delusional.” He isn’t a fan of birth control either: in 2015, as deputy general counsel for a Plano-based nonprofit law firm called First Liberty Institute, Kacsmaryk argued in an amicus brief that pharmacies should be prevented from providing contraception. Kacsmaryk’s time on the bench has only reinforced the view that he is an activist judge who allows his private beliefs to govern his legal opinions—and it seems that the antiabortion activists who venue-shopped to land the mifepristone suit in his courtroom would agree”.

Lying Under Oath Could be Grounds for Removal from Office
If McEwen’s accusations are true, that would collaborate Anita Hill’s testimony and prove that Clarence Thomas lied to the Senate, committed perjury, engaged in Sexual Harassment and should be removed as a Justice of the Supreme Court.

Radical Right Wing Judge Kacsmaryk BANS Abortion Pill
Anti-Science, Radical Right Wing Republican Partisan Ideologue Judge, Matthew Kacsmaryk appointed by Trump, BANNED the Abortion Pill because he’s PERSONALLY against abortions. Since his appointment in 2017, Kacsmaryk has described transgender people as having a “mental disorder,” and claimed that gay people are “disordered.” Chuck Schumer, the then minority leader, called “narrow-minded” and “bigoted”. “Mr Kacsmaryk has demonstrated a hostility to the LGBTQ community bordering on paranoia,” Schumer said.
Matthew Kacsmaryk has proved he’s unfit to be a Judge and should be REMOVED.

Judge Kacsmaryk uses language of Anti-Abortion Movement in Ruling
This is a CLASSIC example of why Right Wing Republicans are UNFIT to hold office and be in any position of power. All too often, they are influenced by Ignorant, Dark Ages, Anti-science Religious Beliefs. They are misguided, delusional and intent on cramming their regressive values down American’s throats.
The fact one Radical Right Wing Partisan Ideologue Judge, who has no medical expertise, has the legal authority to invalidate a drug approved by the FDA and used successfully for over 20 years, is another example of how the United States Government and Court System SUCKS. The American majority is FED UP with this type of unfair, ridiculous, anti-democratic BULLSHIT.
Mifepristone opinion out of TX ‘has zero basis in law and fact’
A ruling out of a federal court in Texas on Friday revoked the FDA’s 23-year old approval of abortion drug mifepristone, marking the biggest rollback of abortion rights nationwide since the fall of Roe v. Wade nearly a year ago. Less than an hour after that ruling came down, a federal judge in Washington state issued an opposing order, ruling that the FDA must keep its approval of the drug intact. The dueling orders have sparked a legal standoff that is now likely headed to the Supreme Court. Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, joins Ali Velshi to discuss what the immediate impact is of the competing orders.
A Trump-appointed Texas federal judge, Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, just halted FDA approval of abortion pill mifepristone. Then, almost instantaneously, a federal judge in Washington state said in a dueling ruling that the FDA must keep medication abortion drugs available.

Senators, Representatives and Civil Rights Leaders: Kacsmaryk Is Unfit for Lifetime Appointment as Federal Judge
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Shin Inouye,[email protected] , 202.869.0398 WASHINGTON – Today, members of Congress and civil rights leaders held a telephone press briefing in opposition to President Trump’s nomination of Matthew Kacsmaryk to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.
Per the above article: Members of Congress and civil rights leaders held a telephone press briefing in opposition to President Trump’s nomination of Matthew Kacsmaryk to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The Senate is expected to vote on cloture today on Kacsmaryk’s nomination as a lifetime judge. The call included representatives from some of the 75 LGBTQ and allied groups that sent a letter this week to the Senate urging opposition to Kacsmaryk
Marge Baker, Executive Vice President of People for the American Way: “Matthew Kacsmaryk is a right-wing extremist whose public statements drip with contempt for women and LGBTQ+ people—especially transgender people. His appointment to a lifetime seat on the federal bench would make it impossible for anyone to expect a fair hearing in his courtroom.”
Kristine Lucius, Executive Vice President for Policy and Government Affairs, The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights: “Matthew Kacsmaryk is a right-wing extremist who is anti-LGBTQ, anti-women, and anti-health care. He is anti-justice for all,” said “That Senate Republicans chose to bring such staunch anti-LGBTQ advocate up for a vote during Pride month shows their shame knows no bounds. This may be the Senate Majority’s agenda, but it is appalling and wrong. Senators must have higher standards and we urge all of them to vote no on the Kacsmaryk nomination.”
Daniel Goldberg, Legal Director, Alliance for Justice: “Matthew Kacsmaryk has devoted his career to fighting equal rights for millions of his fellow Americans. He is one of dozens of Trump judicial nominees who oppose rights for women and LGBTQ Americans, and he has couched his opposition in demeaning and offensive language that betrays his intense hostility. It is clear that women and LGBTQ Americans would not receive equal justice in his courtroom, and he has no place on the federal bench.”
Anisha Singh, Director of Judicial Nominations, Planned Parenthood Federation of America: “President Trump’s nominee to the Northern District of Texas Matthew Kacsmaryk has extreme views against reproductive health and rights as well as LGBTQ rights. The role of a federal judge is to be impartial and follow legal precedents, such as well-established precedents affirming the right to safe, legal abortion. Kacsmaryk’s record, which includes disputing the legitimacy of Roe v. Wade, leaves little doubt that he will rule fairly on the issues that would come before him as a federal judge. This nomination is particularly alarming given the state of reproductive health in Texas, where politicians have been relentless in their efforts to restrict access to abortion and block patients from accessing care at Planned Parenthood health centers. Planned Parenthood strongly urges Senators to oppose his nomination.”
Sarah McBride, HRC National Press Secretary: “Matthew Kacsmaryk is among the most anti-LGBTQ judicial nominees put forward by the Trump-Pence administration. He has been vociferous in his opposition to same-sex marriage, legal protections for gender identity and sexual orientation, and the basic humanity of transgender people. To be qualified for the bench, every nominee must demonstrate a commitment to equality under the law. Kacsmaryk fails a basic expectation of impartiality. The Human Rights Campaign will continue to raise the alarm about Kacsmaryk and other nominees who refuse to protect the rights of all Americans.”
Trump pick slammed as ‘anti-LGBTQ activist’ gets lifetime judicial appointment
The Senate voted Wednesday to confirm Matthew Kacsmaryk to the position of U.S. district judge for the Northern District of Texas.
Per the above article: Trump pick slammed as ‘anti-LGBTQ activist’ gets lifetime judicial appointment
“Kacsmaryk is the latest in a series of judicial nominations to elicit alarm from LGBTQ and civil rights advocates over what they consider anti-LGBTQ track records. A 2017 report from Lambda Legal found that, of President Donald Trump’s nominees, “nearly one-in-three have records that demonstrate hostility towards the rights of LGBT people.”
Among advocates, concerns about Kacsmaryk are his opposition to LGBTQ anti-discrimination protections and same-sex marriage, along with his remarks concerning transgender children and adults. Kacsmaryk worked at the First Liberty Institute under Jeff Mateer, previously considered for a federal judgeship himself. Mateer withdrew from consideration after significant opposition to his nomination emerged. Specifically, LGBTQ and civil rights advocates cited Mateer’s anti-LGBTQ record, which included referring to transgender children as evidence of “Satan’s plan.”
An unhinged case brought by anti-vaxxers will be heard by Trump’s worst judge
An unhinged case brought by anti-vaxxers will be heard by one of the biggest reactionaries in the federal judiciary.
Per the above article: “Kacsmaryk is a longtime anti-sex crusader and former attorney for a Christian right law firm in Texas. Since then-President Donald Trump appointed him to the federal bench, however, Kacsmaryk has become one of the most powerful allies of reactionary causes in the United States. Kacsmaryk’s record on the bench indicates he is willing to use his public office to advance reactionary causes, regardless of what the law actually says”.
Ultra-Conservative Texas Judge Halts FDA Approval of Abortion Pill
Trump-appointed Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, who’s notorious for his views far outside mainstream opinion, issued the ruling at the behest of anti-abortion groups.
Per the above article: “Trump-appointed Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, who’s notorious for his views far outside mainstream opinion, issued the ruling at the behest of anti-abortion groups”.
“Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, an appointee of former President Donald Trump who’s become notorious for spewing ultra-conservative views far outside mainstream opinion, ruled to suspend the drug’s approval after anti-abortion groups had petitioned him to do so. It’s not surprising Kacsmaryk was singled out by anti-abortion activists to push the ruling through. Since his appointment in 2017, Kacsmaryk has described transgender people as having a “mental disorder,” and claimed that gay people are “disordered.”
The timing of the decision isn’t a coincidence either. It comes on the heels of the FDA giving pharmacies the all-clear in January to issue mifepristone even without a doctor’s visit.
Fatima Goss Graves, president and CEO of the National Women’s Law Center, denounced the decision Friday, saying in a statement: “We deserve more than an anti-abortion minority manipulating our legal system to defy the law, logic, science, and public support. We are still distilling this unprecedented decision and don’t know yet the length or depth of its impact. But what’s clear is that this sort of weaponization of the judiciary is a threat to our democracy and we must work to restore justice in every way possible.”
“It’s hard to overstate the impact of today’s callous decision to ban one of the most important and common methods of abortion care. This medicine has gone through the toughest safety reviews and has been used safely and effectively for over 20 years. We need expanded access to abortion care, not court rulings based in junk science,” said Dr. Daniel Grossman, the director of the research group Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health”.
