She is certainly deserving of scrutiny, but I trust nothing in Newsweek. It has become a gossip rag. Indeed that article essentially says that Democrats are insisting that she deserves scrutiny and not much more. Don’t hold your breath.

Watch the Nessell statement on YouTube.

You both need to get a clue:

https://www.politico.com/news/2022/0...ctors-00006186

If you're in search of a diseased mind, you've found it in Dana Nessel. She's demonstrated on several occasions that she's not above using her office to pursue a political agenda, including the use of very questionable legal tactics that even Democrats MI Supreme Court Justices couldn't countenance.

Sorry, but this one has a long way to go before you guys should start getting excited about folks in MI doing perp walks.

Besides, this isn't really about these alleged "false electors". This is about building a "criminal conspiracy" case that the Dems can attempt to tie to Trump.

But you go right on getting excited about it because flimsy stuff like this is really all you've got to get excited about for 2024.

Alleged false electors? You mean folks who forge and submit an official form claiming to be Trump electors in a state that Trump lost by 150K votes? Are you hereby asserting that they were the true electors?

Attempt to tie to Trump? LOL. Tying Trump to a conspiracy concocted by a herd of Trump lawyers who briefed it to him in the White House and he tweeted about nonstop? In non-wingnut legal circles, this is what is called a slam-dunk. Jack Smith will not break a sweat proving the complicity of Dear Leader nor will Ms. Nessell in proving forgery by your fellow travelers in Michigan.

It is truly amusing to watch you wingnuts who drone on constantly about election integrity whine like toddlers when your party is caught up in an orchestrated nationwide conspiracy to steal a presidential election.

For a guy who has repeatedly claimed that he does not defend Trump, you NEVER pass up a chance to defend Trump.

Wow, the force (denial) is strong in this one.

It is rather amazing that in Whells World being opposed to fascism (anti-fascist aka antifa) is considered a slur when it is actually an epic self-own.

Here is a worthwhile article from one of the nations leading experts on authoritarianism on Trump plans for a second term:

Former President Donald Trumps plans to reshape the federal government to give himself vast personal powers if he returns to the White House in 2025 would make the United States similar to authoritarian systems in which the executive branch wields outsized power with respect to the judiciary and legislature.

Those plans, as reported by The New York Times on Monday, are consistent with a 21st century playbook for authoritarians.

Don't Fascists Like to Rewrite History?

In Floriduh they want to extol the "benefits" of slavery to the enslaved.

Slavery brought personal benefits to the enslaved

Quote:
A benchmark clarification listed in the standards includes the note that teachers should also instruct that enslaved people developed skills, "in some instances... for their personal benefit."
See there, it wasn't as bad as some made it out to be.

Yeh, look at the benefits of learning to pick cotton, cut sugar cane, endure beatings and be sex slaves.
