Trump Fires Off 6-Tweet Morning Eruption Of Insanity

President Donald Trump continues to refuse to conclusively admit that he lost the recently concluded presidential election, and he’s found allies on the far-right to help him push his nonsense. On Friday morning, citing the conspiracy-mongering far-right “news” outlet One America News Network, Trump claimed on Twitter that “Whistleblowers reveal that the USPS is responsible for tampering with hundreds of thousands of ballots,” which simply isn’t true. Dubious allegations from so-called whistleblowers without hard evidence do not somehow negate the confirmations from authorities as high-ranking as Attorney General Bill Barr that there’s no real evidence of systematic, election outcome-altering fraud.

Trump tweeted the following message:

‘Whistleblowers reveal that the USPS is responsible for tampering with hundreds of thousands of ballots. @OANN This long time Democrat stronghold got rid of massive numbers, especially in swing states, during and before delivery of the ballots. Well documented evidence!’

A ramshackle concoction of affidavits from ignorant Trump allies and entirely inconclusive so-called evidence does not somehow confirm that the election fraud that the Trump team alleges actually took place.

As an example: at a so-called hearing about supposed election fraud in Georgia on Thursday, Trump allies presented video footage supposedly showing unsupervised ballot-counting in Fulton County, Georgia. In reality, the footage that they themselves presented showed that an official observer from the office of Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger was still on site. Trump allies also insinuated that workers supposedly pulling ballots out from “suitcases” under a table was somehow automatically suspicious, but where else should the election workers have stored the ballots? On shelves in the other room? In their cars? In a treasure chest at the bottom of the ocean? Their arguments are just laughably ridiculous. Frances Watson, chief investigator for the Georgia Secretary of State, has confirmed that the containers weren’t even “suitcases.” Rather, the items were standard ballot containers.

A provision is in the NDAA for the renaming, or even desecration, of National Monuments in National Parks. This is not what our Country wants!
