Georgia State Board of Elections plotting coup if Trump doesn't win

Georgia State Board of Elections now has a MAGA majority and is planning a coup in November if Trump doesn’t win.

Today, nonpartisan watchdog organization American Oversight filed a motion for an interlocutory injunction and a temporary restraining order against the Georgia State Election Board (SEB) for violating the state’s Open Meetings Act by holding a rushed meeting on July 12, during which it approved two controversial rules without legally required public notice or a quorum.
Statement from American Oversight Interim Executive Director Chioma Chukwu:

“The illegal rules approved by three rogue board members — reportedly acting at the behest of Republican Party operatives — could wreak havoc this November as anti-democratic actors seek to sway results in favor of their preferred candidates by undermining trust in our elections.

“Without immediate court intervention, Georgia voters and election workers will be deprived of their right to shape rules that impact their ability to safely participate in free and fair elections. We trust the court will recognize the urgency and prevent the rules from advancing, protecting Georgians from irreparable harm.”

On July 18, American Oversight filed a lawsuit against the SEB in Fulton County Superior Court seeking, among other things, injunctive and declaratory relief as well as civil penalties against board members Rick Jeffares, Janelle King, and Janice Johnston for their knowing and willful violations of the Open Meetings Act.

American Oversight sued following reports that Jeffares, King, and Johnston convened an illegal and last-minute meeting on July 12 to approve two controversial rule changes. The meeting was held without proper notice and quorum, and reportedly against the advice of the state attorney general’s office.

All I'm saying is we have to get over it.

Sure, this is awful, but all I'm saying is we have to get over it.

The Republicans Are Headed to Milwaukee. So Are Protesters.

The Republicans Are Headed to Milwaukee. So Are Protesters.

A range of activists, energized over abortion limits, Israel’s military action in Gaza and immigration, say they plan to march in the city.

July 13, 2024, 11:49 a.m. ET

As tens of thousands of Republicans arrive in Milwaukee on Monday for their party’s convention, another large gathering is expected just outside the official meeting site: Thousands of left-leaning protesters, some of whom have spent the last two years preparing for this moment, will march in opposition to the Republicans’ platform and their nominee, Donald J. Trump.

More than 120 groups have joined a Coalition to March on the R.N.C. 2024, and organizers say they expect as many as 5,000 people to take to the streets of downtown Milwaukee for a march and rally on Monday.

Organizers said they have seen a surge of interest and intensity in the protests outside the Republican National Convention as questions mounted in recent weeks over President Biden’s age and acuity.

“With all the developments with Biden, that makes Trump a much more imminent threat, and that’s going to increase our numbers,” said Omar Flores, a protest coalition leader. “People see the urgency in taking this on.”

Activists said they will focus not on a single issue but on many and have described a range of causes motivating them to join the main planned protest on Monday. Some said they objected to the United States’ support of Israel, a rise in bans on abortion in Republican-led states and policies aimed at preventing migrants from entering the country. Many said they also were seeking more accountability by police officers and protections for L.G.B.T.Q. people.

This lady completely lost it when she saw drag performers in the lobby of her hotel in Hawaii

She's a Moms for Liberty super-Karen who can't stand diversity or alternative expressions of identity. She's employed at UC Davis according to TizzyEnt. How do people this sheltered even function in modern society? Everyone she sees who isn't actively praying inside a church must offend her. She's says it's degrading and misogynistic to dress in drag. WTF?

65-year-old neighbor leaves death threat in mailbox after stealing Joe Biden campaign sign.

MAGAT sheriff in Arkansas says the letter doesn't violate any laws and, "Democrats can't go around trying to get people arrested for wanting to point out pedophilia in the community."

More Trump lies. Now he's lying about his visit to a church in Detroit that has a Black congregation.

I can't stand Trump! Does he ever stop lying or trying to create fake impressions for his willing sycophants?

Photo shared by a Detroit reporter of the crowd during Trump's visit to a Black church yesterday.

McNamara reported, “Of the 8 Black Trump voters I talked to, just one was from Detroit and zero were congregants.” @meidastouch

Freak out at Texas border patrol checkpoint

Passenger seat wannabe-lawyer freaks out at Texas border patrol checkpoint and gets them both arrested.

The video is about seven minutes long, and it's a lesson in how not to behave at a border checkpoint. All this yahoo had to do was answer one question (are you a citizen) and they would be on their way. But no, he had to be an asshole about it.

What is ironic, is he is exactly the type to complain about lax border policies and "OPEN BORDERS!!11!!". You know he has complained about open borders, you just know he has.
