FRAUDSTER ELECT

Fraudster Elect--Fraudster Elect--Fraudster Elect--Fraudster Elect--Fraudster Elect--Fraudster Elect

What the cast of Hamilton said to Pence last night was fabulous and well done and beautiful, and all over the front pages of all the news outlets, but why, oh why has mention of the fact that our President Elect just paid a settlement of $25 million for fraud and stealing millions from hopeful US victims already disappeared from the front page and headlines of the Washington Post?

PRESIDENT ELECT TRUMP COMMITTED FRAUD. FRAUDSTER ELECT TRUMP. His lawyer's spin that he would have won if he fought it is bogus--a settlement is acceptance that he is guilty as charged.

We must not allow the facts to be buried, and this one needs to be highlighted as his conflict of interests are investigated and he tries to take the US and the whole world for a ride.

This is exactly why Bannon is such a dangerous person to be in the position he will have. He and his ilk are expert at manipulating the media. Distract and conquer. It sure worked for them in the election.

Yes, he's good at this, but he also reveals things he'd be better off keeping his mouth shut about so people note his cleverness, like all bit villains. The clash of egos in Trump's Barad-dur must be deafening. Keep clicking on the articles that matter--I'm clicking the article over and over--the papers note this, and if you all do too, it could help. We have to push them to do good work. And we have to bear witness and say We See What You Did There and pass it on for the people who didn't see it.

Except that I don't think Bannon is a bit villain and to underestimate the damage he and the others can do is a huge mistake.

I agree that we must support the legitimate media, not just with clicks but $$$. I read that subscriptions to the NYT and WaPo went way up after the election and that is a good sign.

I was saying that after reading an interview where he thinks he's Darth Vadar and Satan. I agree it's important to not underestimate him, but it's also important not to overestimate him. He's very clever--he's also arrogant and drunk with power and saying stupid shit that can undermine him. He's not going to get along well with many factions of the Republican establishment, and they have power and they don't like sharing either. He can be defeated; we just have to pay attention and help our representatives stay on their toes. I'm going to try to post some quotes from interviews of him tonight.

I totally agree.. And that is a very good sign--along with the huge jump in ACLU memberships. Also, that HRC won the popular vote, too. (-:
