    Trump insurrectionist files hilarious court document in effort to replace 2 of 3 branches of government
    https://www.rawstory.com/texas-attorney-paul-m-davis/

    An attorney in Texas who lost his job as associate general counsel of an insurance company after traveling to Washington for the "Stop the Steal" rally that immediately preceded Trump's insurrection has filed a new document as he continues his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results.

    Paul M. Davis was visited by the FBI about his role in the January 6th insurrection.

    "Ever since footage of him outside of the U.S. Capitol went viral on the day of the Jan. 6th siege, Texas-based lawyer Paul M. Davis has embarked upon a self-styled quest of J.R.R. Tolkien-esque proportions. Davis filed a federal lawsuit asking nothing less than the wholesale replacement of two branches of the U.S. federal government. He said the FBI visited his home to ask him for his statement, and a federal judge referred him to the Disciplinary Committee for the Western District of Texas," Law & Crime reported in February.

    Reuters reporter Brad Heath posted a thread to Twitter breaking down the latest court filing in the case:









    Attorney Mike Dunford also offered his analysis:

    Trump attacks Michigan Republicans after report finds no evidence of election fraud
    https://www.mlive.com/public-intere...port-finds-no-evidence-of-election-fraud.html

    LANSING, MI — Former President Donald Trump took aim at two Republican Michigan lawmakers in a statement issued Thursday after a report led by Sen. Ed McBroom, R-Vulcan, debunked several false claims surrounding the results of the 2020 election.

    Trump’s email hit the inboxes of his supporters one day after a Michigan Senate committee unveiled a report Wednesday morning that found no evidence of systematic voter fraud in the 2020 general election.

    In the statement, Trump called the report - which used hours of public testimony and “countless” documents to conclude the 2020 general election was free from fraud - a “cover up.”

    “Michigan State Senators Mike Shirkey and Ed McBroom are doing everything possible to stop Voter Audits in order to hide the truth about November 3rd,” the former president wrote.

    The report also suggested Attorney General Dana Nessel look into individuals who used fake claims to raise money “for their own ends,” to be investigated.

    Trump used the recommendation to accuse the Republican-led committee of wanting to “investigate the Patriots,” who he claims are fighting to expose what he maintains was “a very possibly Rigged Election.”

    Trump rehashed conspiracy theories about Detroit polling locations, which were the center of unsubstantiated fraud claims last November.

    “The truth will come out and RINO’s will pay at the polls, especially with primary voters and expected challenges,” Trump said.

    The truth about the 2020 presidential election — that President Joe Biden legitimately won the state by 154,000 votes — wasn’t unequivocally espoused by many Republican leaders in Michigan until the announcement of the Republican-led report last week.

    Shirkey told WDIV-TV on Sunday that based on the findings included in the report, he believes the election results were legitimate.

    It’s not the first time the former president has put a spotlight on Shirkey following disagreements over the the November election.

    After meeting with Trump in November, former Shirkey and House Speaker Lee Chatfield said in a joint statement that they had not been made aware of any information that would overturn Biden’s win in Michigan.

    Following the meeting, Shirkey said he was forced to get a new phone number after his personal cellphone number had been released by members of Trump’s team.

    A former Michigan resident said in January they received “thousands” of phone calls and text messages after the Trump campaign mixed up their number with Chatfield’s in a Jan. 3 Facebook post, which was shared by the president before being removed, urging supporters to pressure Chatfield and Shirkey to decertify Michigan’s election results based on unproven allegations of voter fraud.

    Trump ended the statement Thursday by leaving the phone numbers to Shirkey and McBroom’s office.

    “Call those two Senators now and get them to do the right thing, or vote them the hell out of office!” Trump said.

    Still, one House Republican from Three Rivers told reporters this week that he isn’t sure whether or not Joe Biden’s victory in November was lawful.

    Rep. Steve Carra, R-Three Rivers, said in an interview Tuesday that the only way to ensure the integrity of the 2020 election is through what he calls a “forensic audit.” Despite court rulings, canvassing boards and dozens of audits performed across the state affirming the results, Carra introduced a bill this week that would create a bipartisan audit board to conduct another review of the 2020 general election.

    “A forensic audit is not a thing,” Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said last week.

    Benson has argued that partisan groups pushing for an audit shouldn’t have access to secure election materials. She has called the Arizona audit an illegitimate effort to spread misinformation and undermine faith in elections.

    There has never been doubt among Democrats about the legitimacy of the election, who say the Republican push for changes to election laws is being justified by Trump and his supporters’ false claims of election fraud.

    A package of bills pushed by Senate Republicans aimed at changing the state’s voting laws would put increased security measures on ballot drop boxes, add to the state’s already existing voter identification requirements and stop the Michigan Secretary of State from sending unsolicited absentee ballot applications.

    If they can't change their ways...it will doom them again in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Elections as they continue desperately to massage the egos of the Qanons and anti-government people that want to burn Democracy down to the ground.

    It's time for the GOP to spin off the crazies within their party before its too late if the GOP hope to regain the Oval office again.

    Don't be so sure. Biden is doing fuck all to protect the elections from GOP scum cheating dems from their right to vote, trump still got 70+ million votes, and you need only look at that DeSantis thread to see how the GOP fawns over fascism.

    Yeah, the DOJ announced today it will fight the new disenfranchisement laws being recently passed by the red states.

    The DOJ will start with Georgia...taking the fight to the idiotic Republicans trying to make it difficult for voters in the Urban communities and Ethnic communities.

    DOJ will be suing Georgia under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act...a law that forbids voting qualifications that "result" in the "denial or abridgment" of the right to vote "on account of race."
    Ironically, the Republicans were yelling they didn't support the Impeachment nor supported an investigation into January 6th attack on the Capitol because it was going to make America divisive. :rolleyes:

    No one gives a shit about your Ministry of Truth.

    "Sowing doubt" is a completely subjective phrase and could easily include anything you statists want it to. There are names on that list that absolutely don't fall into the bullshit category and are quite thoughtful. Others are pure comedy. i don't expect you to report fairly.
