And he knows what he's talking about. Highly recommend his books and films. He is not some scaremonger.

Thanks for posting this.

I remember sitting in my car years ago listening when he came on the radio, interviewed by the local progressive radio station, rather than going into the store.

10. Actually he doesn't. He is an attention seeking jackass who pushes a lot of conspiracy theory nonsense. He tried that

in 2016 by falsely claiming Bernie actually won the California Democratic Primary because provisional ballots were getting thrown out. That was a lie.

California insures ALL Legal VOTES are counted, including provisional ballots, that is why it can take up to a week to get a final vote count here.

He is a publicity seeking fraud as far as I am concerned. He should be taken with a very large grain of salt, and verified with more reputable investigative journalists.

might have to do an official act and have 6 supremos arrested and interrogated as possible Fascists.
For a couple weeks or so until the remaining 3 Judges sort through and rectify all of the repugs
shenanigans in attempting to steal another election.

And thanks for posting this Rhiannon12866, we all need to be aware of how reQublicans plan on
cheating. Burying our heads in the sand is of no help fighting them!

We heard awhile back that President Biden had plans to reform this out-of-control court - and anything that he wants to implement is perfectly fine with me!

Trump is desperate to stay out of jail
He'll do whatever he can to do so.

9. Typical Greg Palast. He pulled his typical hyperbolic bullshit in the 2016 primaries alleging that Bernie Sanders won
Tue Nov 5, 2024, 06:02 AM

the California Democratic Primary, claiming California was not counting provisional ballots. That was a lie.

California counts ALL legal votes, including provisional and mail in votes. That is why it can take days to insure all votes are counted.

I wouldn't trust a thing Palast says.

He is an attentions seeking jackass.

"look at me, look at me"

11. I sure hope you're right, John SJ!

And I also wonder why now? Why wait until the actual election to broadcast this in so panicky a way? (And remember, he was wrong before.)

KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON, my brothers and sisters!!!

to be careful with claims that he makes and verify them.

His statements about peak oil were also not accurate:

13. Well, they succeeded

And it doesn't appear that much (if anything) is being down to fix this, other than what Palast is doing. 47,000 white republicans challenging the votes of people of color without them even knowing about it, up until the day of the election. Why isn't anyone talking about this on the mainstream media? It's insane.
