Donald Trump - Business and tax stories

Re the 2020 POTUS election:
EVerything I've seen or read points to the election being stolen: broken chain of custody of ballots, video of a black ballot counter in a demo district looking around and then writing on a ballot, certified republican polling observers being chased out of counting centres, statistically anomalous late counted postal ballots all going Biden's way, demo activists going around black neighbourhoods getting people to fill in postal ballots in front of them, a video at night showing a black man stuffing wads of postal ballots into a street collection node, Joe's strangely confident speech of reassurance to disconsolate dems when Trump was ahead that the postal ballots hadn't come in yet, the communist Bernie Sanders in conference with smiling smug squad members forewarning before voting occurred that the republicans would challenge the result specifically on all the points that came to pass, possibly the vote counting machines. The fix was in, the fruit of four years of preparation.
Indeed. All of the talking points relentlessly promoted by the various Stop the Steal, True the Vote ect Trump is God entities.

All of these points and more were put together in 2000 Mules. This was a story that tried to weave these accusations into a grand picture of election fraud.

All of them were systematically dismantled and shown to be false or unproven.
On the way a number of people who have been falsely accused of vote tampering won court cases to prove their innocence and highlight the lies of the various lawyers and sattraps who peddled any story Trump could fling to support his Big Lie.

Reuters undertook a detailed examination of these claims in 2022.

Does ‘2000 Mules’ provide evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 U.S. presidential election?​

In the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, a conservative group named True the Vote claimed that President Joe Biden's narrow victory in Georgia was the result of widespread ballot fraud—including what it called "coordinated efforts" to stuff ballot drop boxes in the Atlanta metro area.

When ordered by a district judge to provide evidence supporting those explosive claims, however, True the Vote offered a very different story. In documents submitted to a Fulton County court in December and made public this week, the group repeatedly denied having any evidence of the alleged ballot fraud or contact information for alleged whistleblowers with knowledge of the supposed scheme.

 

Jury Awards $148 Million in Damages to Georgia Election Workers Over Rudy Giuliani’s 2020 Vote Lies

A jury has awarded $148 million in damages to two former Georgia election workers who sued Rudy Giuliani for defamation over lies he spread about them in 2020 that upended their lives with racist threats and harassment

WASHINGTON (AP) — A jury awarded $148 million in damages on Friday to two former Georgia election workers who sued Rudy Giuliani for defamation over lies he spread about them in 2020 that upended their lives with racist threats and harassment.

The damages verdict follows emotional testimony from Wandrea “Shaye” Moss and her mother, Ruby Freeman, who tearfully described becoming the target of a false conspiracy theory pushed by Giuliani and other Republicans as they tried to keep then-President Donald Trump in power after he lost the 2020 election.

...Giuliani had already been found liable in the case and previously conceded in court documents that he falsely accused the women of ballot fraud. Even so, the former mayor continued to repeat his baseless allegations about the women in comments to reporters outside the Washington, D.C., courthouse this week.

Giuliani’s lawyer acknowledged that his client was wrong but insisted that Giuliani was not fully responsible for the vitriol the women faced. The defense sought to largely pin the blame on a right-wing website that published the surveillance video of the two women counting ballots.

.. Jurors in the defamation case heard recordings of Giuliani falsely accusing the election workers of sneaking in ballots in suitcases, counting ballots multiple times and tampering with voting machines. Trump also repeated the conspiracy theories through his social media accounts. Lawyers for Moss and Freeman, who are Black, also played for jurors audio recordings of the graphic and racist threats the women received.

On the witness stand, Moss and Freeman described fearing for their lives as hateful messages poured in. Freeman described strangers banging on her door and recounted fleeing her home after people came with bullhorns and the FBI told her she wasn’t safe. Moss told jurors she tried to change her appearance, seldom leaves her home and suffers from panic attacks.

“Our greatest wish is that no one, no election worker, or voter or school board member or anyone else ever experiences anything like what we went through,” Moss told reporters after the verdict. “You all matter, and you are all important.”

But Guess What. Despite the fact his accusations were a total pack of lies Rudy Giuliani still says the election was stolen, still repeats the completely disproven claims made in 2020/21.

 
Check out the exhaustive examinations of the Georgian election results.

This was the State where Trump had lost by 11,779 votes and Donald Trump tried to muscle the the Home Secretary Republican Brad Raffensberger to "find" him 11,780 fresh votes to overturn the results.

Fact-checking misleading claims of 2020 election fraud in Fulton County, Georgia

  • The initial vote count, a hand recount and a machine recount of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia showed similar vote tallies that confirmed Joe Biden’s victory over Donald Trump. State officials have repeatedly said there was no widespread fraud.
  • State investigators recently said they found errors in Fulton County’s recount of the 2020 presidential contest, but the discrepancies did not significantly change the election results.
 
Republicans want ID to vote and democrats don't. That's all you need to know about the fraud.

immigrants are being given registration forms to vote without proof of citizenship. Get ready for the latest steal.
 
'The Medium is the Massage'
Judge Beryl Howel is an Obama nominee.
Politifact is obviously a left 'truth-o-meter' rag that employs muppets like below.
Three prominent men have been massively fined recently, two of them stand to be financially destroyed: Trump, Alex Jones, Rudy Giuliani - all outspoken conservatives. Other conservatives are enduring long prison sentences for trespassing into the Capitol.

The really stupid thing re Alex Jones is that the victims families and the media are all about screwing Jones, not that he does not deserve to be screwed.
But the perpetrator of the Sandy Hook Massacre has been completely forgotten in the rush to get Jones.
Talk about diversions from reality!!

Just because they are different sized arseholes, doesn't make one of them not an ********.

Last word is the non plural version.
 
A lot of 'folks' valued his puppet appeal imo.
