The much anticipated indictment of the once and future(!) President Donald J. Trump on charges of trying to rig the election in Georgia in 2020, has finally happened. DJ telephoned election officials of Fulton County and directed them to change the results. "I just want to find 11,780 votes," he says on the tape. If it isn't, it should be illegal to even call election officials directly to challenge their count. Ordinarily, it would seal the fate of a candidate to be so constantly thought of by the mass media as a criminal monster willing to take down the Empire single-handedly, like some aging unctuous fat-fug Richie Rich, by using his pathological skills to incite a Clown Riot to overturn the Electoral College certification of a presidential election taking place on January 6, 2021.
The Georgia indictment, Trump's fourth, is at the state level, which means he can't self-pardon if we are stupid enough to elect him back to Whitey House in November 2024. Imagine the Clown Show that would come out of its own woodwork if a SAT team was sent in to take DJ out of the Oval in chains. The piranha press waiting outside like paparazzi from some sleazy Fellini scene looking to snapshot the president apart, bulbs blasting, Melania wearing that coat defiantly, still not caring, still looking good, and soon available. Yep, the MAGA Dog matist dragged away to -- if our current entertainment segment in history holds out -- to a cell next to John Gotti. Howya doon?
Criminal Monster is not too strong, if two-time Pulitzer prize-winning journalist James Risen's contempt is any indication. The piece he penned for The Intercept after DJ had Iran's General Soleimeni killed with a "Flying Ginsu" drone missile bellowed from the headline: "Donald Trump Murdered Qassim Suleimani" A first, as far as I can recall, of a sitting president being touted as a "murderer" by a publication, and facing no consequences for it. Although, Intercept co-founder Glenn Greenwald, also a Pulitzer Prize winner, and who has been defending DJ's constitutionals on Rumble lately, might have been queased-out by Risen's hit piece. He and Risen had a falling out over Russiagate that, arguably, eventually led to Greenwald resigning, especially after Greenwald's own October Surprise piece on Joe Biden was "censored" by the editors, and the president's alleged and potentially election-changing corruption was quashed. Greenwald took his brand and talents to Rumble and Substack.
The Georgia peach-eating festival is hilariously garish in its own way. What corruption is inherent in their electoral system! Investigative journalist Greg Palast was all over the Georgia nonsense way before everybody else. He partially blames Georgia for introducing to other Republican-controlled election boards, especially in swing states, the ways and means for tossing provisional and absentee votes, wholesale, reducing the vote count for Democrats in those states by tens of thousands -- often more than enough to subvert the actual result. In In How Trump Stole 2020, Palast provides the most vivid example by showing then-secretary of state Brian Kemp, while running for Governor in 2018, managed to throw away a staggering number of votes during the election that got him where he is today. Palast writes,
As the Purge'n General of Georgia, Kemp used his power like a chainsaw. In the lead-up to his run for Governor, Kemp purged 665,677, two-thirds of a million registrations. [page 11]
Kemp was permitted to do so as part of his duties as secretary of state.
Kemp said they all moved out of state, so they were taken off the ballot. None of them knew that they had been taken off the registration. They began patting themselves down to make sure that they were still here, that they hadn't been transmigrated and no one had told them. What would they do then? Palast colorfully describes his investigative journey to Georgia for answers:
I'd traveled to Georgia a number of times during The Big Purge. With half a million voters leaving and that means hundreds of thousands of families moving in two years Interstate Highway 85 out of Atlanta should have been filled with U-Haul trucks, mini-vans, rickshaws, anything that could carry the households of this mass exodus. [page 16]
But it was a very quiet highway. Palast demonstrates how Kemp just lied his white ass off.
Yesterday, in the papers, Governor Kemp was before the cameras defending Georgia's electoral processes against charges by DJ that the election there had been stolen in 2020. What a hoot! In a bizarre, even Byzantine take on how the electoral process works, DJ was upset because Georgia didn't do what Georgia did when Kemp was running for the governorship -- to toss off votes. In this case, as DJ pleaded in his phone call to Georgia officials after the 2020 election, he needed for them "to find" (i.e., lose 11,780 votes). Trump had supported Kemp in his gubernatorial bid and didn't see it as asking too much for a few measly vote spoils in return when he needed it most. Is Rudy the only loyal henchman I have left? he seems to be asking.
Palast shows in his book how Trump won in 2016 by employing this "strategy" in Georgia and the swing states, whose secretaries of state were all to happy to oblige DJ and toss away thousands and thousands of votes cast by Blacks, Latinos, Ind'gens, and university students -- folks most likely voting Democrat. Palast writes,
I'm an investigative reporter. I don't cry. But it bothered me, too"I knew I was witnessing the successful test run in Georgia of a new vote-snatching game that would re-elect Donald Trump no matter the will of America's voters. [page 6]
Palast's book title suggests that Palast was wrong about the outcome in 2020, but it was awfully close, with four states requiring recounts. It might have been another "victory" for Trump had the Covid-19 pandemic not brought more scrutiny of postal votes. Again, when DJ says he was robbed by fraud he seems to mean he was entitled to expect votes to be culled like horny, prolific kangaroos in Australia.
Along with Trump, Georgia has indicted 17 other associates of Trump for trying to subvert the 2020 election, including Rudy Giuliani. The 17 are being prosecuted under a RICO statute that sees their activities as a form of racketeering. In a BBC News article, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis painted a picture of DJ as a ringleader (one pictures an orangutan surrounded by vanilla gorillas smoking cigars, and Giuliani who, let's face it, looks like a chimpanzee), and he goes on to say, "The indictment alleges that rather than abide by Georgia's legal process for election challenges, the defendants engaged in a criminal, racketeering enterprise to overturn Georgia's presidential election results." Rudy being indicted on RICO charges -- how about that! (Probably Biden could be too.) Talk about getting hoiked into your spittoon!
Giuliani is most recently remembered (by me at least) for his attempt to seemingly get into the panties of Tutar, an "underage" journalist on holiday from Kazakhstan, who asks G about the pandemic, and G lights her eyes up with, "China manufactured the virus and they let it out and they deliberately spread it all around the world." [youtube] This just to impress a budding Lois Lane (which recalls that recently discovered poem by Nabakov). This leads to them going into the hotel suite's bedroom, and touches her at one point and asks for her phone number and address, and where he lays down on the bed and begins feeling down his pants for his lost keys," in his genital region, and where she has to be rescued by Borat clad in women's lingerie (Victoria's Gossip?), who tells Giuliani that "she's 15"too old for you." Well, how come he wasn't arrested under the Espionage Act? Why wasn't his reference to China's dastardly doings ever challenged by the MSM?
