    Tried to disenfranchise NC voters.

    GOP officials can't purge 225,000 voters in NC, Trump-appointed judge rules
    Allowing political party leaders or other private citizens to have people removed from the list of registered voters would move North Carolina "away from a democratic form of government," a judge ruled in shooting down the Republican Party's request.

    Posted 10:58 a.m. Today - Updated 3:25 p.m. Today

    The Republican Party has failed in its attempt to remove almost a quarter of a million North Carolina voters from the list of registered voters for this year's elections. A federal judge shot down the party's request Thursday, the same day early voting began.

    A ruling in favor of the GOP's arguments, Myers concluded, could harm American democracy: It "would significantly alter the allocation of power ... away from a democratic form of government," he wrote, citing past legal precedent.

    The presidential campaign of Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, which had intervened in the lawsuit on the side of the elections board and the 225,000 voters in question, celebrated the ruling. The fact that it came from a Trump-appointed judge, a campaign spokesman said, should leave no doubt in any voters' mind as to the veracity of the GOP claims.

    "They are concocting stories of voter fraud and casting doubt on the election, with no evidence whatsoever," Harris campaign spokesperson Charles Kretchmer Lutvak wrote in a press release.

    A spokesman for the North Carolina Republican Party, which was joined in the lawsuit by the national Republican Party, didn't immediately provide comment when reached Friday.

    The only ones that give a damn about Tulsi Gabbard in any way shape or form are Trump supporters. That includes her own children and family.

    "He's certainly the only president that has all but rejected what America is all about, and what makes America America, in terms of our constitution, in terms of values, the way we look at everything, to include family and government - he's certainly the only president that I know of, certainly in my lifetime that was like that"

    Seems like John Kelly was way too certain!! I guess he did not get the memo on greatness :)

    Yes. She served at one time. That is certainly a admirable.

    Trump's own words sound like something Putin, Hitler, and other power hungry evil men would say.
    Control, persecute, and silence those you call the enemy, to stop them from speaking the truth.

    Jailed reporters, silenced networks: What Trump says he'd do to the media if elected

    On the campaign trail and in interviews, Trump has suggested that if he regains the White House, he will exact vengeance on news outlets that anger him.

    More specifically, Trump has pledged to toss reporters in jail and strip major television networks of their broadcast licenses as retribution for coverage he didn't like.

    "It speaks directly to the First Amendment — and the First Amendment is a cornerstone of our democracy," Federal Communications Commission Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel, a Democrat, tells NPR.

    https://www.npr.org/2024/10/22/nx-s1-5161480/trump-media-threats-abc-cbs-60-minutes-journalists

    Is this the America you want? Do you want to be deceived, manipulated, and silenced? Do you want to have all news and media nothing but echo chambers of propaganda and lies? Do you want to be outcast or persecuted for standing for truth and Democracy? Do you believe it's OK to harm those who don't fit the mold that your leader believes is a pure blooded American and Patriot?

    Do you have the same esteem for @fchowd0311? John Kelly?

    I think I know the answer.
