Vice-President Elect Kamala Harris was unsparing Sunday in her condemnation of the current President’s “abuse of power” in pressuring Georgia officials to overturn the state’s vote for Joe Biden.
Harris, addressing a Garden City crowd on behalf of Georgia Democratic Senate nominees Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, offered her first public commentary on President Donald Trump‘s controversial call with Georgia’s Republican Governor and Secretary of State, urging them to “find” votes to flip the Peach State’s electors.
With the Presidential election slated to be certified by Congress Jan. 6, despite expected challenges from Republicans in the House and the Senate, the controversial call delineates the high stakes in the runoff election, where Democrats look to defeat David Perdue and Sen. Kelly Loeffler.
“Have y’all heard about that recorded conversation?” Harris said of Trump’s call with Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Raffensperger. “It was yes, certainly the voice of desperation … and it was a bald-faced, bold abuse of power by the President of the United States.”
Harris also contended that Trump “called the Senate race in Georgia illegitimate … illegal and invalid … suggesting that the people of Georgia are trying to commit a crime.”
“They filed six lawsuits — not one, not two — six lawsuits trying to challenge your voice in that election. And they failed every time. And the people’s voice remains standing,” Harris said, putting the 2020 Republican playbook into a historical context.
“We know, were there not powerful people trying to mess with folks’ right to vote, we would be talking about Governor Stacey Abrams.”
Audio snippets of the conversation were first reported by The Washington Post. In the recording, Trump tells Raffensperger at one point that he “just want[s] to find 11,780 votes.”

Remove Trump from office immediately it’s time for Pence to invoke the 25th amendment. Enough is enough.

The Federal Wiretap Act criminalizes the recording and distribution of this call. It supersedes State one party laws and the Wapo transcript shows the recording party did not inform Trump.

It may be that the recording was illegal, but it’s too fucking late. The cat is out of the bag and Trump fucked himself. Do you not agree?

Trump cannot be affected by this since there is videotape of the suspect ballots in evidence already while quite a few individuals are facing Federal charges now. People who attempted an underhanded political move and now will be the primary targets instead of the gloating victors. Net gain for Trump. Loss for Harris illegally promoting it right here in this article. The Act specifically dismissed ignorance as a defense.

The fight here is about Biden threatening middle eastern countries and how the reaction will be to drop oil prices to destroy the entire US oil sector and then dump the dollar making sanctions toothless and our currency buy only 10% of what it buys today. It’s a catastrophic economic blow Biden is walking right into by listening to malign foreign policy advisors. Everybody’s retirement is getting a 90% cut. That’s why the fight is going on so long.

It is legal in the state of Georgia to record a call and not inform both parties!

We already did this to Putin in response to his invasion of Crimea. That’s why we didn’t send troops like Biden wanted. If you’re so ignorant about global events you shouldn’t be entitled to keep any of your wealth. We don’t send troops anymore because the hand on the oil valve determines the value of a nation’s currency. The Arctic Wildlife Refuge opened up for leasing and nobody wants it. Why? Nobody can afford to extract it and sell it. A slight shift by OPEC+ which now includes Russia and all our oil becomes too expensive to pump because it’s way cheaper to import. Who did Biden just threaten an hour ago? You think Putin won’t return the favor of bankrupting us like we did to him?

Biden is threatening Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Israel and now Russia. Essentially he’s declaring war on the oil source. It’s not rocket science here BRICS plus a couple Middle East nations and they outweigh our GDP. They just declare a new currency and we’re third world. No more economic power at all over anyone. Biden isn’t smart enough nor are his team to operate the US military competently. That’s why he’s kicked out of the Pentagon.

Well somebody is so irrational they don’t care about all those Americans who will starve so Biden can go back to the Bush era of warlording. We had this fight twenty years ago and the result was a million dead people in a far off land and an endless war. Any surprise the defense bill gets through but no $2000 stimulus? The global economic restraints in place now mean everybody loses all their wealth here for a Biden misadventure. The folks backing Biden are foaming at the mouth for a world war. None of them can see the bridge is out and they’re speeding ahead blindly. Don’t invest in oil and make sure you get enough food stockpiled because what’s coming will make getting covid seem like a blessing.

Shiites are Abrahamic people too. Nobody complained about Israel adopting a pluralism until it came time for you to comply with your faith. Reach out and expand the Abraham Accords from Iran to pull in Afghanistan Pakistan and Turkey to prove your legitimacy in your own religion or be subject to being outcast like ISIS. Force does not reinforce piety it only proves it false.

The false flagging by the Nashville group becomes obvious as the emotional toll on their rational thinking is cranked up. Watch how their level of communication descends into hate filled rants. The peace and love and harmony turns into a rabid irrational hatred and then violence.
