As much as I’m enjoying the January 6th committee’s careful assembly of evidence proving former President Trump is a douchebag, I wasn’t seeing much in the way of a criminal offense until this week’s underreported story about how Trump used his “STOP THE STEAL” fundraising appeals to grift his supporters out of $250 million, none of which was, in fact, used to fight election fraud.

It didn’t even go to the poor saps who got themselves arrested at the Capitol on Jan. 6. Instead, the $250 million seems to have been funneled exclusively to Trump businesses, family and friends.

And let’s not forget Steve Bannon’s “We Build the Wall” swindle; Trump sending out a fundraising appeal to raise funds for his new private plane; and a Trump-affiliated organization paying Kimberly Guilfoyle $60,000 to give a two-minute speech on Jan. 6 (introducing her fiance, Don Jr.). Every time you think you have your arms fully around Trump’s con, you realize it’s unfathomably more cynical and far-reaching than you could have imagined.

Is there anyone in Trump World who isn’t trying to fleece the Deplorables? Haven’t they suffered enough?

Which brings me to Dinesh D’Souza’s movie “2,000 Mules.” The movie tells Trump diehards (a dwindling crowd) that their man probably DID win the 2020 election!

Using cellphone tracking data obtained by “True the Vote” (which sounds like a group named by Melania Trump — “BE BEST!”) D’Souza claims to have proof that 2,000 people delivered multiple ballots to election drop boxes in the five crucial battleground states that Trump lost.

First, the movie doesn’t show what it says it shows.
  • Cellphone tracking isn’t precise enough to distinguish between liberal activists stuffing drop boxes, and store owners, police officers, delivery men and others who have perfectly legitimate reasons to be within a few yards of the same drop box every day.
  • In all five battleground states D’Souza considers, it is perfectly legal for third parties to drop off ballots for others, with varying degrees of lenience. Pennsylvania, for example, allows a grandparent, grandchild, uncle, aunt, niece, nephew, in-law, household member, caregiver or jailer to drop off someone else’s ballot.
  • Even if every cellphone dot represented a left-wing organizer illegally dropping off another person’s ballot, that still wouldn’t make the ballot invalid. A legal ballot can be illegally delivered, although the guy who delivered it might be in trouble.
These flaws have already been well aired elsewhere.

The second problem — my problem with the movie — is the idea that Trump’s 2020 loss cries out for an explanation. We know for a fact that Trump was wildly popular, sailing to a landslide election on the love of a grateful nation. Only something nefarious could explain his defeat!

Hello? Trump lost only one demographic in 2020 compared to 2016. What was that demographic? …

Answer: WHITE MEN!

How did liberal activists pull off that?

In the five states where D’Souza deploys his hocus-pocus cellphone data — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — Trump lost 8% of white voters compared to 2016. He lost 12% of white men.

That’s according to Trump’s own pollster, the highly respected Tony Fabrizio, as well as everyone else who’s looked at the 2020 election data. It was also predicted by anyone who supported Trump in 2016 — and then watched him piss away his presidency for four years by betraying his base.

True, lots of Deplorables clung to Trump as their last hope in a country that has betrayed them over and over again. But some of them noticed.

See if you can detect the subtle shift as Trump dumped ordinary Americans and adopted the prejudices of our ruling class:

During the 2016 campaign, Trump said of “Dreamers” (as illegal aliens call themselves): “I want ‘Dreamers’ to come from the United States. I want the people in the United States that have children, I want them to have dreams also. We’re always talking about ‘Dreamers’ for other people.”

One month in office, Trump said of the “Dreamers”: “We are gonna deal with them with heart … You have these incredible kids … some absolutely incredible kids.”

So much for getting illegals “out of here so fast, your head will spin.”

During the campaign, Trump sided with rural Americans, who like guns — and don’t live in opulent, lily-white redoubts where guns aren’t needed. He emphatically opposed “gun-free zones,” bans on “assault weapons” and expanded background checks, saying an armed citizenry prevents mass shootings.

One year into his presidency, Trump said: “I like taking the guns early. Take the guns first, go through due process second. … Some of you are petrified of the NRA. … They have great power over you people … they have less power over me. What do I need?”

What do you need? You needed Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, you cretinous moron. Anybody in those states care about guns?

Most stunningly, Trump blew off the signature promise of his campaign: the wall. While he was busy sucking up to Wall Street, Kim Kardashian, RINOs, Silicon Valley, the gun-grabbers and illegal aliens, not one mile of wall got built.

He finally got around to the wall his last year in office. Total new wall across a 2,000 mile border completed during the entire Trump presidency: 47 miles.

Yeah, it’s a total baffler how a president who spent four years ignoring his base could have lost.

Imagine if Ronald Reagan, after running in 1980 on winning the Cold War and slashing taxes, had gotten into office and started bleating about our “inordinate fear of communism,” instead of opposing the Soviets at every turn and driving The New York Times to fits of apoplexy? What if he’d left the top tax rate at 70% and suddenly started releasing criminals recommended by Kim Kardashian? And, for the cherry on top, suppose he’d turned his presidency over to his bimbo daughter and nimrod son-in-law?

Instead of a 49-state landslide and two decades of peace and prosperity, we’d have gotten a D’Souza conspiracy movie about how the Democrats cheated.

I hope this January 6 fiasco ends up being another massive nothingburger like Russia and the pres slose even more credibility than they already had.
 
She’s slightly right. It’s not that Trump was selling out his base, he was just never really that conservative. He’s more of a civic nationalist, and he wanted his legacy to be known as getting the economy going for everyone and getting America back working. That’s why he was bleating about black and Latino employment so much. I think a lot of blacks and especially Latinos really liked that messaging, and didn’t really care about his policies. They liked being apart of something like that.

Whites however were psychologically terrorized for 4 years that if they were to publicly state their politics, they would be shamed, fired, possibly assaulted, ostracized, dehomed, etc. So a lot of whites cucked in the face of adversity. But at the same time, these are specifically the “shy voters” that are harder to poll. So if polling is showing all demographics tilting more towards trump, except whites and especially white men, then you have to at least question the validity of the polling. These are the same polls that showed 12point swings in certain states.

Also Trump used the stop the steal funds for his campaign, some of which will go to 2024. And paying speaking fees is rather routine, all of this pales in comparison to other politicians like Obama and Sanders, who went from near poverty to multimillionaires from speaking fees and donations. Even being a serial loser like Francis Orourke or Stacey Abrams is an easy path to becoming a multimillionaire. Yeah you don’t even have to win in politics to be part of the grift.
 
I'll just copy posts from boomercon website FreeRepublic to deboonk Coulterburner. She is an agent of the Repubican establishment who shilled hard for Mitt 'black lives matter' Romney, lies about no wall being built, and extremely exaggerates the extent to which Trump is at fault while not mentioning nearly as much the extent to which Paul Ryan type House Reps and Mitch McConnell type Senators are to blame. Shills like @3119967d0c post her nonsensical takes for the purpose of Divide-N-Conquer, so I won't even bother coming up with own rebuttals.

>I don’t know what her problem is, but her train went off the tracks years ago. I guess these kinds of comments get her a little attention since she’s a has been and can’t get it any other way.

>Who delivers boatloads of ballots at drop boxes in the wee hours of the morning? Were they picking up lots of ballots from people on their front porches? Really? Ringing their door bells at 10 and 11 PM and later? Pffft. Does dingbat Coulter have those answers?

"I've said this a few times recently.

Lawyers don't understand numbers.

They are taught words, and how to twist them into lies.

Numbers flummox them.

And the numbers show how the Democrats and the Assistant Democrats [yes, the Republicans were in on it, too] stole "Election" 2020.

Coulter is part of the Republican establishment, and she's finally come out and proud."

"Poor Ann. A lawyer, she misses the point about illegally harvested or otherwise illegally cast votes being illegal and commonly barred from being counted. That is black letter law in election cases. Once upon a time, Ann got legal issues right.

Two basic critical points about the legitimacy of the 2020 election are virtually beyond dispute.

First, the Left used its dominance of the news media and tech platforms to shut out Trump and censor facts and issues that aided him in order to tilt the election to Biden. In doing so, the Left violated well-established international norms that require all contending parties in an election to have fair access to the means of communication with the voters.

Second, an honest election ought to be able to withstand close scrutiny. Instead, in violation of logic and international norms, the news media and the tech platforms, the Democrats, and the courts shut down scrutiny of the 2020 election.

Can you imagine ever trusting poker games in Vegas if the house could declare that it has won the pot but does not flip over its cards? In such an instance, one does not have to prove that you won the pot, only that the house cheated by not showing its cards.

Here again, Ann the lawyer could have a gem of a book in which she hammers the defects of America's election system in lacking a full and effective requirement that permits the integrity of Presidential elections to be tested in the courts instead of rejected through various excuses and evasions.

As it is, Trump and his allies cannot be expected to produce definitive, iron clad proof of illegal ballot harvesting, invalid counts, and other election irregularities. That takes access to judicial process, which was denied in order to install Biden as president. Yet the evidence that has been adduced so far is enough to call the 2020 election into doubt."

Again, @3119967d0c is a shill. Note that Coulter has started shilling the vax even harder than Trump has despite supposedly being this edgy far right figure.

It's hilarious when conservatives who cheered Coulter on when she endorsed Trump based on his 2016 platform.... or possibly criticized her for deflecting from TRUE CONSERVATIVES like Ted Cruz... now hate her for telling the truth about how the orange golem didn't deliver on anything he ran on.

She acts pretty dishonestly with most criticisms. Example is the wall, they replaced a bunch of foot high barriers meant to just stop vehicles with that 10+ ft tall barrier, so she says only a couple miles of “new barrier” was created though the previous one could be stepped over.

But when it came to pure grifters that were doing the We Build The Wall campaign to create one mild of that fencing, she cheerfully proclaimed it a serious wall that should be lavished with peoples money. That project eventually ending with a shoddily installed set of fencing that they refused to pay a couple hundred bucks to keep the rights to after a couple years.

She goes through this kind of dishonesty pretty routinely and it makes her look retarded to those that can do a tiny bit of research. Which most won’t do because they’re used to just reading headlines or hot takes.
