kingdragonfly: Justice delayed is justice denied

I get this and I agree with the sentiment, but I do feel this very disturbing image is a step too far here.

I just saw an item on CNN about voter intimidation. Apparently militia types with weapons are congregating around polling stations. Not doing anything illegal, just being threatening by their presence.

It occurs to me to wonder what would happen if a group of people dressed in clown suits showed up and gathered next to them. Also not doing anything overt, just hanging around. It is a public space, not private property.

That's in Somalia, is it?

This would normally have given me some grounds for optimism, but then again I remember everyone saying "someone named Trump" wouldn't go on to win in 2016, either.

I wonder if the title of this thread will be changed back to: "The President Of The USA: Donald Trump" before the "Former" and "Finally Jailed" bits are added?

The Washington Post - Pro-Trump Republicans court election volunteers to ‘challenge any vote’

25 October

The Republican National Committee and its allies say they have staged thousands of training sessions around the country on how to monitor voting and lodge complaints about next month’s midterm elections. ...

“We’re going to be there and enforce those rules, and we’ll challenge any vote, any ballot, and you’re going to have to live with it, OK?” one-time Trump adviser Stephen K. Bannon said on a recent episode of his podcast.

“We don’t care if you don’t like it. We don’t care if you’re going to run around and light your hair on fire. That’s the way this is going to roll.” ...

[This] has created a dilemma for election officials, who rely on ordinary citizens to do the grunt work of democracy - checking in voters, for instance, or opening absentee ballots - but now fear some of those who show up could become agents of disruption.

Bannon needs to learn to shut his big, stupid mouth. It's already got him in trouble. Just send him off to jail already and let him stew - Christ knows he deserves it.

Not sure how she explains Matt Gaetz and Roy_Moore

New York Times: For Trump’s Backers in Congress, ‘Devil Terms’ Help Rally Voters

As Representative Mary Miller embarked on her first congressional campaign, she described herself in salt-of-the-earth, all-American terms: a mother, grandmother and farmer who embodied the “Midwestern values of faith, family and freedom.”

“Hard work, using God-given talents, and loving each other well,” a voice declared over video clips of Ms. Miller, a 63-year-old Illinois Republican, embracing her family, praying and walking on her farm in an ad in early 2020.

“In the world today,” the ad continued, “we could use a lot more of this.”

But there is another side to Ms. Miller’s wholesome image. Since entering Congress, she has routinely vilified Democrats and liberals, calling them “evil” communists beholden to China who want to “destroy” America and its culture. And President Biden’s plan, she seethed on Twitter this spring, is to “flood our country with terrorists, fentanyl, child traffickers, and MS-13 gang members.”

Audio transcript, for a 37 minute radio show.

NPR: Did the so-called Deep State protect the country from Trump?

A few years back, we started hearing about a sinister, unseen force threatening American progress. It was the deep state, an unnamed group of officials within the U.S. government that would always use their leverage in the federal bureaucracy to oppose change, either because the deep staters were wedded to ill-advised policies of the past or because they sought to protect their own power, status, salary and pensions. The menace of the deep state was an idea particularly propagated by backers of President Donald Trump.

Our guest, David Rothkopf, says if there is a deep state, we should probably be thanking rather than condemning it.

Interesting review of Confidence Man - which I just finished reading. Has a lot of the background on what made Trump the person he is.

Washington Post: Inside the secretive effort by Trump allies to access voting machines
...
Claims of widespread election fraud have been rejected over and over by local, state and federal officials as well as by computer science experts and numerous judges, including those appointed by Trump. They have nevertheless become an article of faith — or at least a professed belief — for many Republican voters, activists and politicians.

Experts say the events in [Georgia] are a potent example of the rising threat posed by insiders who undermine election security in the name of protecting it.

While elections officials say security protocols would make it difficult for bad actors to manipulate votes, some experts say the data — circulated beyond a limited number of authorized officials — could give hackers a powerful tool to simulate voting machines and probe for weaknesses.

The operations not sanctioned by courts or lawmakers were clandestine affairs.

In [Colorado], an outsider was allegedly smuggled into the elections office under an alias to copy data.

In Michigan, a pro-Trump state lawmaker allegedly persuaded clerks in two counties to hand over equipment for a House investigation that, according to the office of the House speaker, did not exist.

In [Georgia], a local elections official invoked his Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination more than 200 times when questioned under oath recently for a long-running lawsuit that voting activists brought against state officials.

Man smashes way into Nancy Pelosi's home in California and attacks her 82 year old husband with a hammer yelling "where's Nancy?" in echo of Jan 6 events at the Capitol. Pelosi happened to be in Washington.
