So it’s been brought to my attention that female Donald Trump aka Marjorie Taylor Greene will have “poll watching training” next month.

I find this just ironic because if you all don’t know; back in 2020, there were 2000 lost ballots for Joe Biden!

https://www.reuters.com/article/fact-check/does-2000-mules-provide-evidence-of-voter-fraud-in-the-2020-us-presidential-idUSL2N2XJ0OQ/

And the party of “law and order” doesn’t want the Media observing this “poll training” so make of the above information what you will.

Now what’s the overall relevance of me telling you all of this?

Assuming you guys don’t do mail in ballots and actually go to the poll place to vote; please do NOT give your ballots to anyone calling themselves “poll watchers”. There is a box that you deposit your ballots into so please use THAT.

And should these MAGA jokers try anything, PLEASE defend yourself since as evidenced by January 6th, 2021, these guys are dangerous and will do anything for their precious 34 count felon.

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up in case they start something because they WILL 😒

But yeah please don’t give your ballots to ANYONE OR ANYTHING BUT the ballot machine!

Please and thank you 🙏 😊😌

Why are MAGA Morons so afraid of facts? Oh... yeah!

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

April 30, 2024

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

MAY 01, 2024

This morning, Time magazine published a cover story by Eric Cortellessa about what Trump is planning for a second term. Based on two interviews with Trump and conversations with more than a dozen of his closest advisors, the story lays out Trump’s conviction that he was “too nice” in his first term and that he would not make such a mistake again. 

Cortellessa writes that Trump intends to establish “an imperial presidency that would reshape America and its role in the world.” 

He plans to use the military to round up, put in camps, and deport more than 11 million people. He is willing to permit Republican-dominated states to monitor pregnancies and prosecute people who violate abortion bans. He will shape the laws by refusing to release funds appropriated by Congress (as he did in 2019 to try to get Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky to smear Hunter Biden). He would like to bring the Department of Justice under his own control, pardoning those convicted of attacking the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, and ending the U.S. system of an independent judiciary. In a second Trump presidency, the U.S. might not come to the aid of a European or Asian ally that Trump thinks isn’t paying enough for its own defense. Trump would, Cortelessa wrote, “gut the U.S. civil service, deploy the National Guard to American cities as he sees fit, close the White House pandemic-preparedness office, and staff his Administration with acolytes who back his false assertion that the 2020 election was stolen.”

To that list, former political director of the AFL-CIO Michael Podhorzer added on social media that if Trump wins, “he could replace [Supreme Court justices Clarence] Thomas, [Samuel] Alito, and 40+ federal judges over 75 with young zealots.” 

“I ask him, Don’t you see why many Americans see such talk of dictatorship as contrary to our most cherished principles?” Cortellessa wrote. No, Trump said. “‘I think a lot of people like it.” 

Time included the full transcripts and a piece fact-checking Trump’s assertions. The transcripts reflect the former president’s scattershot language that makes little logical sense but conveys impressions by repeating key phrases and advancing a narrative of grievance. The fact-checking reveals that narrative is based largely on fantasy. 

Trump’s own words prove the truth of what careful observers have been saying about his plans based on their examination of MAGA Republicans’ speeches, interviews, Project 2025, and so on, often to find themselves accused of a liberal bias that makes them exaggerate the dangers of a second Trump presidency. 

The idea that truthful reporting based on verifiable evidence is a plot by “liberal media” to undermine conservative values had its start in 1951, when William F. Buckley Jr., fresh out of Yale, published God and Man at Yale: The Superstitions of “Academic Freedom.” Fervently opposed to the bipartisan liberal consensus that the federal government should regulate business, provide a basic social safety net, protect civil rights, and promote infrastructure, Buckley was incensed that voters continued to support such a system. He rejected the “superstition” that fact-based public debate would enable people to choose the best option from a wide range of ideas—a tradition based in the Enlightenment—because such debate had encouraged voters to choose the liberal consensus, which he considered socialism. Instead, he called for universities to exclude “bad” ideas like the Keynesian economics on which the liberal consensus was based, and instead promote Christianity and free enterprise.

Buckley soon began to publish his own magazine, the National Review, in which he promised to tell the “violated businessman’s side of the story,” but it was a confidential memorandum written in 1971 by lawyer Lewis M. Powell Jr. for a friend who chaired the education committee of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce that insisted the media had a liberal bias that must be balanced with a business perspective. 

Warning that “the American economic system is under broad attack,” Powell worried not about “the Communists, New Leftists and other revolutionaries who would destroy the entire system.” They were, he wrote, a small minority. What he worried about were those coming from “perfectly respectable elements of society: from the college campus, the pulpit, the media, the intellectual and literary journals, the arts and sciences, and from politicians.” 

Businessmen must “confront this problem as a primary responsibility of corporate management,” he wrote, launching a unified effort to defend American enterprise. Among the many plans Powell suggested for defending corporate America was keeping the media ���under constant surveillance” to complain about “criticism of the enterprise system” and demand equal time. 

President Richard Nixon appointed Powell to the Supreme Court, and when Nixon was forced to resign for his participation in the scheme to cover up the attempt to bug the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee in the Watergate Hotel before the 1972 election, he claimed he had to leave not because he had committed a crime, but because the “liberal” media had made it impossible for him to do his job. Six years later, Ronald Reagan, who was an early supporter of Buckley’s National Review, claimed the “liberal media” was biased against him when reporters accurately called out his exaggerations and misinformation during his 1980 campaign. 

In 1987, Reagan’s appointees to the Federal Communications Commission abandoned the Fairness Doctrine that required media with a public license to present information honestly and fairly. Within a year, talk radio had gone national, with hosts like Rush Limbaugh electrifying listeners with his attacks on “liberals” and his warning that they were forcing “socialism” on the United States. 

By 1996, when Australian-born media mogul Rupert Murdoch started the Fox News Channel (FNC), followers had come to believe that the news that came from a mainstream reporter was likely left-wing propaganda. FNC promised to restore fairness and balance to American political news. At the same time, the complaints of increasingly radicalized Republicans about the “liberal media” pushed mainstream media to wander from fact-based reality to give more and more time to the right-wing narrative. By 2018, “bothsidesing” had entered our vocabulary to mean “the media or public figures giving credence to the other side of a cause, action, or idea to seem fair or only for the sake of argument when the credibility of that side may be unmerited.”

In 2023, FNC had to pay almost $800 million to settle defamation claims made by Dominion Voting Systems after FNC hosts pushed the lie that Dominion machines had changed the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, and it has since tried to retreat from the more egregious parts of its false narrative. 

News broke yesterday that Hunter Biden’s lawyer had threatened to sue FNC for “conspiracy and subsequent actions to defame Mr. Biden and paint him in a false light, the unlicensed commercial exploitation of his image, name, and likeness, and the unlawful publication of hacked intimate images of him.” Today, FNC quietly took down from its streaming service its six-part “mock trial” of Hunter Biden, as well as a video promoting the series. 

Also today, Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over Trump’s criminal trial for election fraud, found Trump in contempt of court for attacking witnesses and jurors. Merchan also fined Trump $1,000 per offense, required him to take down the nine social media posts at the heart of the decision, and warned him that future violations could bring jail time. This afternoon, Trump’s team deleted the social media posts. 

For the first time in history, a former U.S. president has been found in contempt of court. We know who he is, and today, Trump himself validated the truth of what observers who deal in facts have been saying about what a second Trump term would mean for the United States.

Reacting to the Time magazine piece, James Singer, the spokesperson for the Biden-Harris campaign, released a statement saying: “Not since the Civil War have freedom and democracy been under assault at home as they are today—because of Donald Trump. Trump is willing to throw away the very idea of America to put himself in power…. Trump is a danger to the Constitution and a threat to democracy.” 

Tomorrow, May 1, is “Law Day,” established in 1958 by Republican president Dwight D. Eisenhower as a national recognition of the importance of the rule of law. In proclaiming the holiday today, Biden said: “America can and should be a Nation that defends democracy, protects our rights and freedoms, and pioneers a future of possibilities for all Americans. History and common sense show us that this can only come to pass in a democracy, and we must be its keepers.”

Trump announcing that if he wins this election people won't have to vote again because, and I quote, 'I four years your not gonna have to vote again because we'll have it fixed so good youre not gonna have to" is crazy.

[blessedmoonsoul]

ok might be my third world privilege but if i had the option to vote for someone who I agreed with 30-40% of their policies i won't be excited or pleased abt it but I'd be in that polling booth doing my part idk

[lenbryant]

Corrupt SCOTUS has one more big one to go this term and it’s probably not going to be good. Why else would they save it until the end?

[randomnameless]

I'll never understand the idea that Claude is smart. This is the guy who, no joke, didn't understand there were poor people in Almyra until one was literally right in front of him.

To be fair,

That's also something I ranted about in Birthrout when Ryoma went all "i never knew people in Nohr were starving" because there's no way a crown prince and future heir of a nation doesn't know basic things about his immediate neighbours -

Claude isn't supposed to be their heir though, just one of many princes - and yet this isn't about knowing what a neighboring nation is like, but knowing what Almyra is like. What kind of education did he receive in Almyra? Were they talking about the border regions and how people there lived in miserable conditions due to the friday raids and the War (Goneril interventions?) and how this situation affected civilians?

Almyra is supposed to be vast - so maybe people living in the capital don't really know how the people living far from the capital or near the border live... but we're not talking about the miller's son, but about a prince! Again, maybe because he's just "one of many" princes, he didn't get a special education or his was lacking (but his parents made sure he knew how to untie himself from a rope while being attached to a horse, so they had different priorities??) - but it's jarring to compare how little Claude and Supreme Leader know about their own territories to Dimitri, who can give exposition about the various events happening in Faerghus and knows more or less what are its current issues.

I've seen in the fandom some people comparing Claude to an undergraduate student entering Uni, like he is sure he knows everything about every topic, when his knowledge is very superficial at best, downright utterly wrong at worst.

But not knowing about Almyra's lack of social structure comparable to the CoS who does the majority of Fodlan's charity work and hosts the biggest orphanage in those lands really makes him look... ignorant about the country he speaks so highly for, which is not a good look at all.

Why Haven’t You Read My Latest SubStack Article? It’s Time to Wake the Sleeping Giant!

Dear Readers, Students, Parents, Teachers, Administrators, Philanthropists, Donors, Nonprofits, Politicians, Business Owners, and Leaders,

I have one question for all of you: Why haven’t you read my latest SubStack article, Day Trading: A New Game Changer For Youth of Color in Marginalized Communities? Or any of my other articles for that matter?

https://open.substack.com/pub/tyroneglover/p/day-trading-a-new-game-changer-for?r=1rkcyh&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

For those of you who have taken the time to read them—thank you! I’d love to hear your thoughts and opinions, though whether or not they align with mine is beside the point. It’s more important that we’ve sparked a conversation, a much-needed one about the future of our most vulnerable asset: Youth of Color in Marginalized Communities.

The truth is, this isn’t just an article; it’s a wake-up call. It’s time for us all to realize the potential we are wasting, the opportunities we are missing to empower these young people. Financial literacy, investing, and day trading are no longer luxuries—they’re necessities if we want to level the playing field for these communities.

But let’s face it—our system, as it stands, has failed them. We’ve seen leaders who could have been champions for change, but instead, they chose selfishness, arrogance, and lies over the well-being of the people they swore to serve. Donald Trump, with all the potential to lead, chose instead to destroy, to divide, to betray the trust of the very people who believed in him. On the other hand, I have hope in Vice President Kamala Harris—someone I believe has the heart of a patriot and the courage to lead for all Americans.

This upcoming election presents us with a stark contrast: one path that promises division and the erosion of democracy, and another that stands for unity and genuine service to We The People. Our choice has never been clearer. To those who still believe that Trump offers something worthwhile, I ask you: Is your vote truly worth the betrayal of your daughters, your mothers, your sisters, and your future?

To my fellow Americans, to our immigrant brothers and sisters who have built this nation alongside slaves who toiled for free while others profited: you are not the reason for our country’s failures. The blame lies squarely on the shoulders of those who have exploited you, who have spread lies, and profited from division. It is time for those who have manipulated and deceived to retire into oblivion, where their names will be spoken no more.

So, I urge you—read, share, follow, engage, and comment on this article and the conversations we need to have. It’s time we move forward as a nation. Stay safe, travel well, and most importantly, vote like democracy depends on it—because this time, it truly does.

In solidarity,

Tyrone Glover
