,A very irate and confused Judge Aileen Cannon snapped at federal prosecutors multiple times in hearings this week, and it was all because she didn't seem to understand how things are supposed to work under the law. At one point, she snapped at a prosecutor for defending the funding of the special prosecutor's office - something that Cannon has no control or say over. At another point, she told a prosecutor she didn't like his tone while he was arguing that federal witnesses should have their identities shielded. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

During a series of hearings early this week, judge Eileen Cannon repeatedly got angry with the prosecutors in the case because she didn't like their tone. And the reason she didn't like their tone is because the prosecutors had to repeatedly explain to her how the law actually works, because this idiot doesn't seem to understand things. The first one that she got upset with was prosecutor James Pierce. And the reason she was getting upset with James Pearson yelled at him at one point, don't interrupt me, was because she literally asked him a question, right? And he responded and she responded by saying, don't interrupt me, even though she had asked him a question. But it was a question that had nothing to do with the case. It was a question about the funding of the special prosecutor's office. That is how off the rails this fricking hearing got, because Trump's lawyers were bringing up the fact that, hey, they're working with unlimited funds here. Congress should do something. Which again, that's not up for Judge Cannon to decide. She doesn't even have the power to decide that, but that is where she allowed the hearing to go, and then asked the prosecutor a question about it, and then got off that he answered. And it didn't end there. After they took a recess, she came back, they started another hearing on another topic, and at that point, in a span of 20 minutes, she got on to prosecutor David Harbaugh twice chastises him for arguing that she should protect the identities of law enforcement officials tied to the Espionage Act violations, charges. In other words, this prosecutor, David Harbaugh was telling her, Hey, we've got classified documents, right? Uh, the classified documents have the names of individuals that are involved in, in secret missions, secret projects here with the government. Um, let's not release those people's names to the public, you know, because it could hurt the national security apparatus of the United States. Something that I'm pretty sure most people would agree with. Yeah, that would be a bad idea to expose all of these people, but Canon, oh God, no, Canon instead said, I don't appreciate your tone. And then she got onto him again saying that, uh, you know, if you can't meet the standard for decorum, then one of your colleagues can take up arguing this motion. Then the prosecutor himself of course, got irritated because Canon said, can you explain how Donald Trump's rhetoric could end up, you know, endangering the witnesses if I, if I were to release their names? Like, can you cite a specific instance where Trump's rhetoric Has been tied to a witness getting threats? I don't, I don't know. Open a newspaper. You dumb judge. Eileen Cannon is not just incompetent. She is dumb. A a and I, and I'm saying that it's obviously coming from a place of anger at this point, 'cause I'm getting tired of having to talk about this. But she is painfully, criminally stupid. And for the record, as we know, thanks to a New York Times report last week, that's not just coming from me, that's coming from the other judges down there in South Florida that begged her to give the case to a quote competent judge.

,During an interview this week, Donald Trump claimed that his campaign is "looking into" restrictions on contraceptives for women in the United States. These comments immediately sparked a massive backlash, forcing Donald Trump to get on social media and say that he has never "and will never" restrict access to contraceptives in this country. But the damage is already done, and it is obvious that he has an agenda that he doesn't want the public to be aware of. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Donald Trump had a big oopsie do moment this week when he told a local news station during an interview that his campaign was, quote, looking into restricting birth control access here in the United States. In fact, he went as far as to say that, you know, they're gonna have a pretty big policy on that released very soon. Here's his quote. The question was, do you support any restriction on a person's right to contraception? And Trump says, we're looking at that, and I'm going to have a policy on that very shortly. Things really do have a lot to do with the states, and some states are going to have different policy than others. So here is Donald Trump, the former president of the United States, he wants to be the next president of the United States, telling us that they're looking into restricting contraceptive access here in the United States. That, of course, did not go over well with really anyone including Republicans, which then led Donald Trump hours later after this interview, by the way, was taken offline because gotta protect Donald Trump, he then later came out on Truth Social and said, I have never and will never restrict contraceptive access here in the United States. Nope, totally not a thing that's gonna happen. Even though this is actually not the first time he has said that. In fact, it's not the second time he said that, I think it's like the third or fourth time he has said it. He said it multiple times in an April 12th interview, he said, I feel very strongly about it. I actually think it's a very important issue. And then of course, said we'd have a policy in a couple weeks. Then again, on April 27th in a follow-up interview, he said over the next week or two they would go ahead and have a policy on that. Then on April 30th, he did it again. So he has repeatedly let us know that, hey, we're thinking about restricting contraceptive access here in the United States. Repeatedly said it, not just this week, multiple times. When they show you who they are, believe them, folks. If you want access to contraceptives, do not vote for Republicans. If you want reproductive health freedom for yourself, do not vote for Republicans. They are taking us with these insanely draconian proposals back to the Dark Ages at this point. This is beyond bonkers. I mean, this is beyond Handmaid's Tale type stuff, folks. This is what they want to do. They're telling us this is what they want to do. I don't know what more it's going to take to get through to the rest of the voters in the country that this is what they're planning. And Donald Trump, of course, oh, he's waffled on it. Yes, I'm gonna do it. I'm thinking about it. No, of course I'm not gonna do it. Never in a million years. He'll do what Republicans tell him to do once he gets in office. Once he gets in office, no holds barred, right? He'll do whatever the Republicans want him to do. He'll do his own revenge stuff as well. That's another thing. But if they put this bill in front of him, he'll do it. So if you care about access to contraception, you know which party not to vote for this coming November.

Republican Congressman Pushes Legislation To Make Gag Orders Illegal To Protect Trump

,Republican Representative Andy Ogles is so angry about the gag order against Donald Trump that he is pushing legislation that would make ALL gag orders ILLEGAL in this country. Ogles is part of a Congress that has achieved the least amount of accomplishments in the history of this country, and THIS is the kind of legislation that he is focusing on, rather than actually trying to do something to help the country. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Republican Congressman Andy Ogles from the great state of Tennessee, has put forward legislation that would put an end to gag orders in the United States. You know, I, I don't know what really sparked this for Mr. Ogles, why gag orders would be on his mind, but he did, of course, make an appearance at Donald Trump's criminal trial in Manhattan last week. So I'm sure he was thinking very intently about gag orders. So he goes back to Washington DC after that and drafts a piece of legislation called the Let Trump Speak Act, which would prohibit judges from issuing gag orders to defendants in any criminal or civil proceedings. And in an interview with Fox News host Maria Bart Romo Ogle said this about his piece of legislation specifically designed to kiss Donald Trump's. He said, well, what this bill does is it creates a prohibition on these gag orders that are clearly politically motivated and a right of action so he could sue because his rights are being violated. And so with that, you know, we, we were there. You can tell that this trial is nothing more than a political witch hunt. And so enough is enough. Trump should be acquitted. He should be back on the campaign trail, and that's it. They're trying to keep Trump off of the campaign trail and keeping him tied up in court. Andy Ogles is a part of a Congress that statistically speaking, has accomplished less, passed fewer bills than any other Congress in the history of the United States. 22 bills last year they passed. They have put us on the brink of five government shutdowns. Some of them averted with only minutes to spare. And this SOB thinks the best use of his time is to draft legislation, to ban gag orders in, in trials. We have people that cannot afford their medication. Here in the United States, we have people living on the streets. When we have a glut of empty houses, we have climate change knocking on. It's not even knocking on our door. It is burst through the front door. We have disasters, we have catastrophes, we have economic problems, we have rights being taken away from actual citizens, millions of them. And this piece of garbage from Tennessee is wasting his time drafting legislation to tickle trump's balls. I'm sorry, but that's all I can say about it because that's what this is. And Yes, it me off and it ought to off everybody listening to this right now because again, we have very serious problems happening in this country every day. And our Congress, Republican controlled Congress has done nothing to address any of 'em. Instead, what they're doing is they're holding bogus hearings. That's the real witch hunt to try to smear President Biden. They're traveling back and forth from Manhattan to just make sure they can kiss Trump's in person at his trial. And now they're going back to DC drafting legislation to try to protect him. When you don't have people like Jim Jordan trying to launch investigations into the state's prosecuting Trump, it is pathetic. It is sickening, and these people are nothing short of disgusting.

Alina Habba Appears To Violate Gag Order After Claiming She Was Confused By It

,Last week, Alina Habba told Sean Hannity that the gag order against Donald Trump was unconstitutional because she was confused about what SHE was allowed to say (because Trump is forbidden from directing people to attack those who he can't.) But that didn't stop her from going on the offensive against Michael Cohen as he testified this week, meaning that she no longer cares about what she can and cannot say. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

During an interview on Fox News this week, Alina Haa appeared to once again violate Donald Trump's gag order for him. Even though in a Fox News appearance at the end of last week, she said very clearly to Sean Hannity that the gag order is unconstitutional because she as Trump's spokesperson, doesn't know what she is allowed to say or not say. So it's confusing her, but she knows there are things she is not supposed to say. That's what she said last week. But this week, once again, on the same network, Fox News, she decided to bring up Michael Cohen, who of course was testifying earlier this week. And here's what she said. The indictment goes to a books and records crime, a book and record crime that was done at Trump Tower by an accountant that booked a legal fee as a legal fee, as President Trump said earlier, he didn't book it as construction. He didn't book it as electrical work. It was a legal fee to Michael Cohen. And that's when Fox News host Sandra Smith asks, so, Alina, how would you go at Michael Cohen here? And Alina responded the way I did, you know, I can't speak about the witness, but you already did. So you're admitting you're not allowed to speak about him, even though you, in just a couple sentences ago, spoke about him. And last week, as I mentioned, you said that the gag order was so confusing to you that you didn't know what you could or could not say because you are being paid by Donald Trump to say things. Therefore, what you say could be a violation of the gag order for him, not for you, obviously. But therein lies the problem we learned this week from Andrew Rice, a reporter with the, uh, New York magazine. I believe it is, that Donald Trump was scribbling notes on a piece of paper during the trial this week. And those notes 'cause Rice was able to see over his shoulder what he was writing in editing. Those were the quotes given to the people who showed up in court on behalf of Donald Trump, his friends and allies in Congress, that they then said to the press. So there's no doubt anymore that Donald Trump is directing people to say these things. So I have little doubt in my mind that Donald Trump is somehow directing Alina Haa, considering the fact that she's on his payroll as a spokesperson, literally her job to speak on behalf of Trump. She gets money to do that. So it's very difficult to argue that he's not paying her to go out there and do this. She even is admitting, by the way, that she's not allowed to talk about him, but by God, she still seems to talk about him a lot. So it is what it is. Let's see what the judge decides to do. But at this point, Alina Haba, as an actual lawyer, needs to understand that you're not gonna be the one getting in trouble here. It's gonna be your client. And that trouble could include a night or possibly even a weekend stay in the county lockup.

Congress Tells Ted Cruz NO To His Request For Special VIP Treatment At Airports

,Several months ago, Republican Senator Ted Cruz attached a proposal to a funding bill that would have allowed any lawmakers, Cabinet members, or federal judges to get extra security and VIP treatment with security detail at airports across the country if the lawmaker was receiving threats. But Congress this week said NO WAY to that idea, and stripped the proposal from their version of the legislation, leaving Cruz to have to travel like a commoner.

Back in February, Republican Senator Ted Cruz put forth a proposal as part of the funding bill for the, uh, FAA. And this proposal would've created special privileges, essentially VIP treatment for any lawmaker federal judge or cabinet member who, uh, you know, gets a lot of threats. So what Ted Cruz's proposal would do is say if you're one of these people and you're getting a lot of threats, well we're gonna create at every airport in this country, right? Spend hundreds of millions of dollars. You are gonna get your own special check-in. You are gonna get your own private security screening area, and you are gonna be accompanied by armed TSA agents throughout your entire travel experience because, you know, Ted Cruz doesn't want to be stuck in the same security line as us commoners. He doesn't want to have to take his shoes off and put his bag in the bin, or maybe not put the bag in the bin. Who knows? 'cause they changed the rules like every day. But he didn't want to go through that. He wanted the VIP treatment. He wanted people walking around him so that the commoners couldn't approach him and tell him what a scumbag he is. And then this week, democratic representative Benny Thompson, decided, no, we're not gonna do that. And Thompson managed to remove Ted Cruz's proposal from the house version of the bill that is now headed for a full floor vote. So unfortunately for Ted Cruz, his request to be treated as a VIP in every airport in this country has effectively been denied. And by the way, it's not just because Benny Thompson was like, no, I wanna screw over Ted Cruz. You see, the reality of it, as I had previously mentioned, is that this would probably cost hundreds of millions of dollars, at least tens of millions way into well over a hundred million to set these things up. 'cause you would still have to have those big scanners, you know, for the bags to go through the X-ray machines. You'd still have to have the full body scanners and you would have to have more TSA agents on duty to man these private battle stations. And then even more on duty to just walk around the airport with you while you go and get a Cinnabon and the Ts a's like, yeah, we don't have the manpower to, to do that. Um, this would put an unnecessary strain on our already strained organization here. So please, Congress do not give into Ted Cruz's wacky demand. But let's be real about this. This isn't about security. It never was with Ted Cruz. I mean, Ted Cruz has never had to like run for his life in an airport. I mean, honestly, like people have to go through security to get in there. We know they're not carrying Weapons or anything like that. They can't hurt you. I mean, that doesn't mean they can't necessarily hurt you. We've seen fights at airports, but not with lawmakers. What Ted Cruz didn't want to happen was just average people walking up to him in an airport, like I said, saying, you're a scumbag. We don't like you. That's all Ted Cruz wanted to avoid. He can't stand criticism, and he would rather have the federal government dole out tens of millions of dollars so that he doesn't have to face criticism than to just suck it up for a few minutes while he waits to get on his plane. Luckily, this will not be a reality in the United States, and Ted Cruz will still have to sit there with the rest of us commoners.

,Fox News host Neil Cavuto was forced to push back on his Republican guest's views during a recent segment where the guest claimed that the economy was much better under Donald Trump. Cavuto reminded her that she'd have to pick her dates more carefully, because four years ago we were "knee deep" in COVID and the economy ground to a halt, Cavuto explained. But the poor economic performance goes back long before COVID during the Trump years, and that's what even Cavuto seemed to forget. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

During a recent segment on Fox News host, Neil Cavuto was forced to remind his Republican guest that the economy really was not that good under Donald Trump. Now, before I read you what happened in this exchange here, let me preface this by saying, you know, we got the jobs numbers, we got the inflation numbers. Everything is getting better on paper at least, right? I mean, I understand. Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to downplay the fact that there are millions of people in this country that are struggling to make ends meet, living paycheck to paycheck, foregoing their prescriptions because they cannot afford them. The economy is not great for millions of Americans. It's not even good. But on paper, the numbers coming in show that things are getting better than they were Now, having said that, Neil Cavuto prevent, uh, presents that, and he says, we bounced back from our worst levels today on a better than expected wholesale inflation report. Not that much better, but inflation's still a big worry. I'm sure if you're Donald Trump or Republicans, you're seizing on, that is the issue that will get you back in the White House. What do you think he asked Republican fundraiser, Nicole, Nick, per like, why are you even bringing on a Republican fundraiser to talk about the issues? Shouldn't you talk about political analysts? Shouldn't you be talking to an economist? Not somebody that raises money for the Republican party Like that alone is a big problem. But anyway, Ms. Nick Perr responded, quote, it is the issue. Uh, a lot of people are remembering how better off they were under the Trump administration. They had more money in their bank, they had 3% mortgages. They're remembering this and they're remembering where they were. And I, I think this is going to help Donald Trump. And I think he is playing on the flat on the fact that they were better off under his administration than they are right now, even though Biden is saying it's better. And at that point, Cavuto had to quickly jump in and he said, all right, we can go back and forth on whether people are better off. We were knee deep in the middle of COVID-19. I'm not blaming that on the president, but the economy ground to a halt. You, you have to pick and choose your dates and times. So Cavuto, you know, trying to run defense there he is like, Hey, listen, I mean, four years ago things were bad, so, so maybe pick a different date. Like, are you better off than you were six years ago, or maybe even five years ago? But don't say four years ago. 'cause everybody was pretty bad right? Now, here's the thing, and I know Cavuto knows this because I know he is a smart guy, but before long, long, long before we had COVID-19, before anybody knew what that word meant before, most people understood the meaning of the word pandemic. Before anybody knew what PPE was, months before that, we had economic reports. And I know, 'cause I Sat right here on Ring of Fire talking about 'em with economists warning us that we were headed towards a recession in six to 12 months. They said we would hit a recession because of Trump's policies, because of the trade wars, because of the tax cuts, because of his horrible economic policies, because of the struggles of the average American families, because of the fact that they couldn't afford an emergency totaling five or $600, it would wipe them out.

Prosecutors Want Trump Punished For Repeated Attacks On Judge's Daughter

,When he wasn't sharing violent imagery of his political opponents or comparing himself to Jesus Christ, Donald Trump spent much of the past weekend attacking the daughter of the judge that's overseeing his hush money trial. Prosecutors are getting fed up with these repeated attacks, and they are now asking the judge to clarify the order to determine whether or not Trump needs to be punished for violating it.

When Donald Trump wasn't on truth social this weekend, sharing violent imagery of President Biden, or of course comparing himself to Jesus Christ, he was using truth social to attack the daughter of Judge Juan Merchant, who of course is overseeing his upcoming hush money trial. Prosecutors at the Manhattan DA's office are now asking the judge, could you please clarify your gag order? Because prosecutors say we're fairly certain that Donald Trump's repeated attacks on your daughter, where he has not only named her, but also on Saturday. This was actually after prosecutors asked for the clarification on Saturday, Donald Trump shared a post that contained two pictures of the judge's daughter. So prosecutors say, we're pretty sure this violates the gag order, but just in case, how about you come out and clarify what the gag order's all about and who he can and cannot talk about. Now, on Friday, there were articles that came out that said the judge is most likely just gonna kind of suck it up. You know, he doesn't want to have to slap a more restrictive gag order on Donald Trump because he understands what that means. The, that means that Donald Trump's base is going to become even more rabid. That means that the death threats that he has gotten are gonna increase and the likelihood of an incident is going to increase. And I get that, like I 100% understand that. And as I said, uh, you know, over my other channel, fair and balanced, it's difficult for us to sit here and understand what's going through that judge's head because we're not the ones who are having your family attacked. Okay? If, if, you know, it's easy for us to sit here and say, oh yeah, the judge should just expand the gag order problem solved. Well, that's going to lead to more threats against both the judge and his daughter. 'cause now her info's out there, Trump has done their work for them, and I do believe she is in danger. And at this point, expanding that gag order isn't going to change, that the damage is done, unfortunately. So expanding the gag order is only gonna people off to the point where maybe they do go and do something now. But the flip side of that is, if you do not expand the gag order, Trump's gonna keep attacking your daughter. He's gonna keep her name out there, and the more he does it, the more likely someone in his base is going to go and do something. I, I believe this woman is in danger a hundred percent. But it is a delicate situation for the judge, and, and it's not a position that I envy at all. I would not want to have to be the one to make that decision either. But that decision will have to be made. And Judge Juan Merchant is the Only one who can make that decision. Trump is trying to gin up his base. He is trying to put pressure on the judge's daughter so that the judge is more compliant to Donald Trump's side. That is what is happening here. This is intimidation. And the judge has a very fine line that he has to walk. I, I also think, by the way, that Trump is trying to get the judge to lose his cool and make a mistake, which of course would give Donald Trump a leg up on an appeal. So Trump knows what he's doing, he knows why he's doing it. He knows what he outcome, what outcome, excuse me, he's hoping for. So difficult situation, the prosecutors want answers and they deserve answers. But ultimately, that judge is going to have to decide whether or not to expand the gag order, and that could actually lead to something worse.

,*Ditch the plastic and keep the environment safe while keeping your home clean with Blueland. Go to https://www.blueland.com/rof and use code ROF to get 15% off your first order! On Friday, Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that he has close to $500 million in the bank, more than he needs to pay the bond for his fraud trial. This is a huge problem for the former president, as it undercuts the claim that his lawyers made to the court earlier last week. This makes it increasingly unlikely that Trump will NOT get an extension from the courts, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

On Friday, Donald Trump managed to somehow screw himself over even worse than he previously had by officially declaring that he has more than enough money in the bank to totally pay the bond for the New York fraud trial. Now, here is what Donald Trump said, and I'll tell you in a moment why this is such a massive problem for him, especially considering the fact that today's the deadline to pay Trump said, quote, through hard work, talent, and luck. I currently have almost $500 million in cash. A substantial amount of which I intended to use in my campaign for president, the often overturned political hack judge on the ribbed and rigged and corrupt ag case where I have done nothing wrong do this, wanted to take it away from me. And that's where and why he came up with a shocking number, which coupled with his crazy interest demand is approximately $454 million. But you have that in cash, right? So if you have that in cash, you know, I mean clock's ticking, it runs out today. Like you just pay it. But you're not gonna do that because you probably don't have it. But let me go ahead and tell you why this is such a problem for Donald Trump. Now, last week, as we all know, on Monday of last week, his lawyers filed a motion with the court saying, Hey, he doesn't have the money. We can't get any of these companies to bond him. We've tried 30 different companies for the love of God help us. But they're not gonna get that help now because Donald Trump openly proclaimed, I have the money to pay it. So why would an appellate court give you an extension? Why would they reduce the amount when your client is out there bragging that he has the full amount of cash, he just torpedoed himself at a time when I am pretty sure the appellate court probably would've saved him to a degree. That like that's probably done with maybe, I mean, who knows at this point? Anything could happen. But this isn't gonna help him because all Letitia James has to do is go into that court file an emergency motion, which by the time you're reading this, she may have already done it and said, listen, he says he has the cash. Do not give him an extension. Do not give him a reduction. He has the money. He said so himself. Make him pay the full amount. And let's move on with this. And here's another reason why this is a big problem for Donald Trump. Because obviously if the bond is not paid today, then starting tomorrow morning, Letitia James can start the process of seizing his assets. And we've talked extensively about seizing Donald Trump's assets. We've talked about the properties, which ones could go, they've put out the fire sale values of each individual property. But here's the problem. We've talked about seizing assets in terms of property, but assets also includes cash. So if he actually Does legitimately have that 500 million in the bank, Letitia, James could just seize that instead, zero out his bank accounts. And lemme tell you why that would be even funnier and worse for Donald Trump than losing his properties. 'cause you can't zero out your account balances when you're running businesses because what happens is that you still have to pay your operating expenses.

Republicans Sound The Alarm As Party's Fundraising Completely Dries Up

185K views 2 years ago

,The Republican Party is sounding the alarms about their pathetic fundraising efforts, warning their voters in an email that things are getting really bad for the Party. Typically, you could write off such a warning as a scare tactic to get people to donate, but the truth is that the GOP is in serious financial trouble as the election gets closer. The national party has less than $9 million in cash on hand, and Democrats are raising more money than they know what to do with. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

In a fundraising pitch of just a few days ago, Republicans started to sound the alarm bells about how pathetic their fundraising has been so far in this election cycle. The message that they posted on social media, which was also sent out in an email, I believe, says, here's the honest truth. Things aren't looking too good for Republicans. The Democrats are out raising us. They will be able to buy ads in markets we can't afford, and they will outspend us. We are gearing up for the election of our lifetime. Now, typically, campaign fundraising emails do use scare tactics, right? Whenever these people, whether it's through text messages, phone calls, emails, or posts on social media, they always make it sound like, oh God, we're in dire financial straits. You gotta give us money, right? So that's not out of the ordinary, except for the fact that this one time the Republicans are actually telling the truth. I know it's shocking, right? Republicans telling us the truth. But that is what's happening here because the Republican party right now has $8.7 million cash on hand. I'm not talking about a candidate has 8.7 cash on hand. I'm talking about the Republican Party of the United States has $8.7 million in a presidential election year, in a year where they're not only trying to retake the White House, but retake the Senate and maintain control of the House of Representatives, they got less than $9 million. That is pathetic. Now, Avi, if I had $9 million, you'd never hear from me again. But for a national political party to only have $9 million, that's a bad thing, especially when the Biden campaign raised $42 million in January alone, you guys are getting clobbered. So this pitch from the Republican party, like, oh no, the Democrats are beating us. That's not just them trying to get people to donate. That is them legitimately freaking out because they don't have the money. Donald Trump doesn't have the money to run his campaign. Add to that, the fact that you have the chair of the Republican Party itself, Ronna McDaniel, she's resigning in an election year. That's not something that typically happens. So you have no leadership at the party. When you do eventually get new leadership during an election year, it's gonna be somebody that does not have the experience of running a national party. They don't get a honeymoon period where they can try to figure things out for a couple months and okay, we don't have any elections to worry about. So let me get my, let me get my footing here. No, they're gonna take over the Republican party at a time when it's near bankrupt in the middle of a massive election year that is setting up whoever it is for failure, And it's probably gonna be Michael Watley, the chair of the South Carolina Republican Party, along with Donald Trump's daughter law, Laura Trump. So on top of not having time to get their footing underneath them, you're also gonna be putting somebody in there who, one has no experience running a political party in Laura Trump, and two already promised to give all the parties money to Donald Trump. So, yikes, right? I mean, if I were a Republican donor, I wouldn't give them any money knowing that that's what's gonna happen to it. And that's why they're so freaked out today. They know that they don't have enough cash on hand, and they know that the turmoil inside their party in an election year is about to turn off nearly every major donor that they have left.

,According to several witnesses, Kari Lake made a frantic and "paranoid" phone call to Blake Masters over the weekend after reports emerged that Masters may run for Senate in Arizona next year. Lake doesn't want to get involved in a primary fight, and she believes that she should be the heir apparent for the seat. But both candidates are proven losers in Arizona, so none of it may matter in the end, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

According to a new report from the Daily Beast, Carrie Lake, this past weekend at 11:00 PM her time on Saturday evening made a quote, intense paranoid and erratic phone call to her fellow failed Republican candidate, Blake Masters, inquiring about these reports saying You may run for Senate Blake. What the hell is going on? So here's what happened. Kerry Lake, of course has been rumored for months now to be considering running for Senate in Arizona for Kirsten Sinema seat. Now Sinema of course, now being an independent, she has not necessarily committed to running or not running. So we don't even know if she's in it. Uh, but she does have a very good Democrat that is officially running Reuben Gallego. And Gallego right now is ahead in the polls. Even when cinema's in the race, Gallego is still ahead in the polls. If Ka Lake is the Republican challenger and Kari Lake has kind of just assumed I'm gonna get this nomination. I'm not gonna have to fight a primary, I'm gonna be the candidate and I'm gonna go to the Senate. But then a few days ago, reports started coming out that Blake Masters might want to give it another go. Blake Masters thinks that he may be the one to take that sin at seat. And according to the reports, he even talked to Donald Trump about it, who Carry Lake, of course has been nosing around way too much trying to get that VP nod. So according to the reports lake called Masters, and as I said, it was intense, paranoid, and erratic according to the witnesses who listened to the phone call. Let me read you this. Kerry Lake asked him, quote, have your intentions changed? And then Masters was like, Hey listen, I'm not gonna get in the race if you're gonna get in the race, however you're dragging your feet on it. We need a candidate. And then he said, you should have been in this race yesterday, according to the sources and that lake off. So Lake then fired back, you know about, 'cause she's still filing election challenges for 2022. But she said to Blake, she said, you ran and hid under the bed as soon as the election was over the sources then say that Masters told her like, well, you can't win anyway. And then I gotta read this from the beast, according to one of the sources, lake tried to be cool and suave about the call, but instead became rattled and defensive while another source described Masters as angry and said the phone call was tense by the end of the conversation. Neither side had much clarity on the intentions of the other, but the discussion ended in familiar territory with Lake of course being like, don't you think I won last year? And, and for the record, Carey, if you thought you won last year, you wouldn't even be considering running for Senate because you'd be the rightful governor of Arizona, right? I mean, I, isn't that how that would work? But I think what's so funny about this is we've got two losers in Arizona that are both trying to say, Hey, let me give it another go. I know the voters already rejected me once, you know, not even a full year ago, but hey, what if I just stick my big dumb face right back in their faces? I'm sure they'll love me this time, right? No, obviously the polls show that's that's not the case. But we're not dealing with a Republican party that likes to deal with logic. We are dealing with a bunch of egotistical maniacs and they don't care about what's good for their party or not. They just want to, again, put their big dumb faces out there and force voters once again to tell them thanks.

Republican Says Trump Is Absolutely Terrified Of Chris Christie

,Former Republican governor Christine Todd Whitman told MSNBC this week that Donald Trump is terrified about having to face off against Chris Christie, now that he's entering the presidential race. Christie and Trump began as allies, but once Christie was dropped in favor of more loyal people, he went all-in against Trump. Christie has a knack for being a bully, and maybe that's what is so scary for Trump. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Well, folks, Chris Christie, the former governor of New Jersey, is officially in the presidential race on the Republican side, and he is got an uphill battle ahead of him. Not gonna lie, he has to get 40,000 individual donors in order to make it onto that first debate stage. And of course, be polling above 1% in I think at least three national polls. So he is got a lot of work to do. When he last ran for president, he did not do a good job of attracting individual small donors. So he may not make it on that debate stage, which to me would be the most disappointing thing ever. But there's one person that's hoping for that. And that one person, of course is Donald Trump. Former New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman actually went on Ms. N B C this week to explain why Donald Trump is absolutely so afraid of Chris Christie. Here's part of what she had to say. I think with all the candidates in there, in fact, they, they might make it easier for Donald Trump to win, of course, getting on the debate stage. One thing Donald Trump absolutely commands is the internal political working of the National committee and the apparatus, he'll do everything he can to keep Chris Christie off the debate stage. So what she's trying to stay say there, of course, is that Donald Trump is gonna try and wheel and deal with the R N C behind the scenes to increase the standards that a candidate needs to meet in order to get on the debate stage. Now, Trump himself has already said he's not gonna do the debates, so I, I don't necessarily agree with her on that. I do agree that Donald Trump doesn't want Chris Christie on that stage. Donald Trump does not want Chris Christie getting any, any national attention because he remembers what Chris Christie did to Marco Rubio back in 2015 during the debates. Oh, and by the way, so does Marco Rubio. Yesterday evening, Marco Rubio sent out the following tweet, and I'm sorry, it's so funny I have to read this because he is such an idiot. Marco Rubio sends out this tweet and absolutely gets hammered for it. He says, any political reporter commenter, uh, claiming Chris Christie ended my campaign in 2016 is lazy or dumb. New Hampshire debate sucked because instead of hitting back when attacked like I wanted to, I listened to advice about pivoting and not punching down on a, on a Chris Christie who was at 7% and about to drop out, but he didn't end my campaign. Yes, he did. You wouldn't be out there saying that if he hadn't done that. You never recovered after Chris Christie destroyed you on that stage. And that, of course, is what Donald Trump is afraid of, not because he thinks Chris Christie's gonna throw him off track, but because Chris Christie is a bully, and Trump is a bully, and the only way to fight a bully is to actually fight back against them something Marco Rubio learned the hard way. But Donald Trump is not good at fighting back against people who are actually good fighters. We saw that in the Democratic debate. You know, love him or hate him. President Biden, in the 2020 debates did not perform badly. He actually did a pretty good job holding his own against Donald Trump and calling out Donald Trump. So Chris Christie could do the same thing and that could hurt Trump. But Whitman, as I mentioned earlier, does make another good point about the fact that an overly crowded field definitely does benefit Donald Trump, cuz it dilutes the vote among the normal Republicans leaving the MAGA freaks with the primary power to make Donald Trump the winner.

Fox News Brutally Fact Checks Trump To Protect Ron DeSantis

,Fox News does appear to be going all-in for Ron DeSantis, even trashing Donald Trump in order to do so. This week, Fox delivered a brutal fact check against Trump for many of the claims that he has made about DeSantis, even going as far as to bend the truth to try to make it seem like Trump lied about several things that he didn't actually lie about. This is getting weirder by the day, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

You know, it is starting to become crystal clear that Fox News is obviously in the tank for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. And this week the network did the unthinkable. They ran a scathing fact check on Donald Trump calling out numerous lies that Donald Trump has told. But it's not the lies about the 2020 election. It's not the lies he's pushing on truth social about Biden. It's not the lies about the investigations. No, no, no, no. They only wanted to call out the so-called lies that Donald Trump has told about Ron DeSantis. And this actually happened on Fox Radio, not the TV channel, but it was done by Fox News host Brian Kill Mead. And here's what happened. The network called out Trump and his campaign for misrepresenting Governor DeSantis record on Covid 19, calling him the lockdown governor, but said the former President's narrative left out key details and noted that Trump had previously praised his response to the pandemic. Now that is true. Trump repeatedly fawned over Desant pandemic response and for being one of the first person to reopen his state, uh, calling him one of the greatest governors in our country. Fox News also corrects some of Trump's claims about DeSantis on his Social security and the Fair Tax Act, along with his support for FBI director Christopher Ray's confirmation and gave the governor the final word on the fact check. And I'll read the statement from DeSantis in just a moment, but let's talk about that for a minute. They're fact checking Donald Trump about his claims that Ron DeSantis had wanted to cut Social security in Medicare, in fact, that he had voted for that. That is true. That is actually true. Like Fox News. There's nothing to fact check on that because that is an accurate statement from Donald Trump about Ron DeSantis. So you did a fact check saying that Trump was lying about the one thing he was actually telling the truth about, because you knew the one thing he was telling the truth about was significantly damaging to your boy Rhon DeSantis. That's what you did. You performed a false fact check to make it seem like Trump was lying, even though that's literally like the one time the dude told the truth. Now, Trump omitted the part that he also supported those cuts, but let's not pretend for a second that Ron DeSantis wasn't attempting to do that while he was in the US House of Representatives. That is literally on the record. You can go and look that up. That's not something that's hidden, that is public record. But Fox News knows their audience. They know they're stupid. So they said, ah, screw it. We'll just say Trump's lying about the thing he's telling the truth about. But here is what DeSantis said in response to all of this, to Brian kil me the way I'm being attacked, Trump has run almost 20 million in ads in negative attacking me. You know, with frivolous and false smears. The corporate press is attacking me more than anybody else. Democrats are attacking me. They would not do that if they didn't think that I was a threat. I mean, If they thought that I wasn't, you know, in shape to really win this thing, they, they would just be ignoring me. But they're not. They're coming after me. I'm the one that's taken most of the fire. And I think that's an indication with people. Uh, you know, that, uh, yeah, we have what it takes and that we're a force to be reckoned with.

Don't Be Fooled - ALL Republicans Will Rally Behind Trump When He's The Nominee

,Donald Trump has scored endorsements from a good number of Republican lawmakers at both the state and federal level, but there are also plenty of Republicans that have either spoken out against Trump being the Republican nominee, or those who have avoided the issue altogether. One of those people is Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell, who has made it clear that he thinks Trump cost the Party the 2022 midterms. But that didn't stop McConnell from saying in a recent interview that he'll back "whoever" the Party has as their nominee in 2024, no matter what. This is proof that Republicans will eventually rally around Trump, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

In their constant shift to the right. CNN this week decided to run a very lengthy profile of Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell. And most of it was fluff. Most of it was stuff that we had already heard McConnell say before. Like, oh dear. Part of the problem of 2022 was that we let Donald Trump kind of have the steering wheel and the primaries, and we sat out. He picked bad people and it cost us big time. But there was one sentence, there was one sentence in this lengthy profile that stood out to me as something that everybody needs to pay attention to because it tells us what's going to happen in the future. Mitch McConnell may not realize this, but he is a bit of a fortune teller with this one quote that he had. And before I read you the quote, I'm gonna remind you of the fact that throughout all of Donald Trump's turmoil over the last two years, Mitch McConnell has kept his mouth shut a couple of times. Sure he is come out and gone after Donald Trump. You know, mostly about the midterm stuff and the bad candidates. Uh, he's made it clear he is not a huge fan of the guy. I mean, Donald Trump has insulted Mitch McConnell, the old Crow. He calls him. He's launched racist attacks against Mitch McConnell's wife. So you would think that Mitch McConnell is absolutely done with Donald Trump no matter what, but he's not, let me read you the quote. Look, I'm going to support the nominee of our party for president no matter who that may be would, which means if it's Trump, by God, Mitch McConnell is going to support Donald J. Trump for president. Doesn't matter that he spent the last year personally attacking actually two years, I think at this point, personally attacking him personally, attacking his wife, trying to make his life a living hell, trying to get Rick Scott to take over for McConnell in the Senate. McConnell says, I don't care. I'll still vote for Trump because I'm a partisan hack and will vote for anybody with an R next to their name. And what this says to me is that even though right now we see a lot of Republicans endorsing Trump, we see a lot of Republicans out there saying, I want nothing to do with Trump. But when it's all said and done, if Trump is the nominee, even those never Trump Republicans out there, they're gonna vote for Trump. They're gonna rally behind him. Now, they may not show up at his rallies. They may not have MAGA flags in their front yard. Hell, they may even go out in the media and talk bad about 'em a couple times. But at the end of the day, when these a-holes walk into that voting booth, they're gonna fill in the box or complete the line, or pull the lever For Donald Trump. Even if they tell us they won't, I promise you, we will see all of these Republicans line up behind Donald Trump, some with their head held low, some with it held high, but they are not going to not vote for him. That's what this quote from Mitch McConnell tells me. Now, I'm only referring to the people in power, right? The people in Washington dc, the average voters out there, the Nevertrump voters out there, I don't think they're gonna do the same thing. That's why I think the Republican Party is in for a rude awakening. That's also why I think that the polls that are coming out right now are pretty much meaningless.

Donald Trump, well, he isn't sweating his indictment as much as you might think and it looks like the charges might actually help him win the Republican nomination for President. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins joins me now to talk about it. Farron, you know what, you're like a sooth sayer. I think you're the best in the progressive business at looking at a story and saying, this is where I think it's going to go. That's why I've enjoyed doing this with you for 20 years. So let's talk about this one. You know, if you talk to all the experts, you hear there's a problem with due process here. There's a problem with selective prosecution. There's a problem with vagueness of the indict. There's all of these problems that are centering around this. There's a problem with the jurisdiction when you can argue, you know, all you're gonna get is blue jurors. All you're gonna get is a blue judge. All you're gonna get is blue appellate judge. So, as I'm looking at this, they've got a lot of ways to hang this up for a long time, maybe already past the election. What do you think? Yeah, I mean, they absolutely can, especially with, you know, 34 charges against him. That opens the door, you know, multiple different challenges per indictment. Yeah. You know, so they could wrap this up in the courts potentially for years. But based on what Trump has already seen in the last week, I don't think he wants to do that. I mean, what we are seeing right now is absolutely unbelievable because you have focus groups, you have polling data, and all of it shows that all of those Republican voters that were ready to get rid of Trump, they have now come back to him. They're saying, you know what? We are now supporting you. I was ready to move to Ron DeSantis, but I'm going to you, I'm going back to Trump. Right. They're angry. I mean, if you really, if you really look at it, this is pure anger. Okay. When you look at, and here's the things that are coming up now. I mean, it's just in the last two days. I know you've looked at the articles. But the right is using this to remind everybody about all the things they talk, they talk about Antifa, how it's such a big problem, how it's part an extension of the Democratic Party. They talk about the transgender issues because that's tied into what they feel is gonna be on the docket for the next election. This, these are all points. Now these aren't my points. Right. These are points that are surfacing in the discussion right now. They're left wing Soros style billionaires controlling the media, controlling Hollywood, controlling the American financial system, aided by the FBI and the CIA, weaponizing the justice system. These are just a few. This is me going online trying to see what are, what's coming out now, what's bleeding through all of this. These are the things that are bleeding and their point is, it's, they're using all this to scare the hell out of everybody and say that he is the only man who can fix it. Now, you see what I'm saying? Yeah. I'm not, whether this is true or not, I don't, I don't know. But I can tell you these stories are all surfacing to be hung around the neck of the Democrats. Yeah. They are. And of course, the Republicans fear is what motivates those voters more than anything else. And what they're giving them right now is this fear that, oh my God, if it can happen to Trump, it could happen to you. And that freaks these Republicans out. Like, oh my God, what's gonna happen to me? Well, if you haven't committed any crimes, you don't have to worry about it. But that, you know, that reality of that does not affect these folks. They look at this, no matter what happens.

,Over the weekend, Lauren Boebert told a story to a crowd in Wyoming about how "generous" Donald Trump can be. Boebert claimed that Trump once shared his popcorn with her son, which was apparently a big deal because he's such a germaphobe. Not only does that NOT prove any kind of generosity, it also doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

Lauren Boebert has a story that she wants you to know. It's a story about the generosity of Donald Trump, because deep down he is just such a good man. And it's unfair that the media has painted him as a bigot and a all agar and a guy that only cares about money and who is absolutely corrupt to his core. Boebert says none of that is true. And she has the story to prove it. And she told that story by the way, because she was one of the guests at that Wyoming rally, along with Donald Trump. And of course Matt gates and Andy bigs, I don't know why all these people were there, but sure. Okay. None of you are from Wyoming. None. None of you really have a dog in the fight there, but all right. So Lauren Boebert gets up on that stage and wants to tell the people there, even though she's supposed to be campaigning for Harriet Hagman, uh, she wants to tell everybody how generous Donald Trump is. So she tells this story right here. I wanna tell you a story about his generosity, about how kind he is, about how welcoming he is. The thing that these folks right here in the back, never let anyone see. Fake media is the virus. My family and I were with president Trump and even not liking germs. Trump shared a bowl of popcorn with my 14 year old son. Now, listen, Wyoming. I know where he is been. I don't share food with my son. Well, there, there you have it. I, I guess that closes that chapter on Donald Trump. He's a super generous man, because he shared a bold of popcorn with Lauren. Boebert apparently absolutely disgusting. 14 year old child. I mean, she said it right there. Like I know where he is been. I don't share food with my son. Um, he's he's 14. You should probably be having a talk with your son about hygiene, about grooming habits, things like that. Uh, trust me, you know, I have one son who's 12. I have one who's who's already 19. We had to have these talks when they got teens, you know, about showering regularly, things like that. Boys get gross. I know, trust me. But, uh, apparently you haven't had that talk yet with him and he is now 14. So it may be too late. Lauren, that's kind of gross, but Hey, you do you, right. I'm not here to criticize your parenting, but I'm sorry. Sharing a bowl of popcorn with someone is not exactly generosity. Now, if your son were dying of starvation and Donald Trump had personally gone out and brought him food, that would be generosity. Also. I want more context into this. Like where were you and Trump and your family sitting around eating popcorn? Like what, what, what's the backstory here? When did this happen? Because you became a member of Congress basically like a month before COVID hit the United States. So like what, what was the context here? And, and did Donald Trump show up for a meeting with you? Like with his own bowl of popcorn? Like, Hey everybody, how's it going? Yeah. Yeah. Like, I, I really truly want to know some of the backstory here because I find it so incredibly hard to believe. No, no, don't get me wrong. I'm sure Donald Trump does walk into meetings, eating food. I mean, basically that is something we've heard, but it doesn't mean he is generous. He gave a couple of piece of pieces of popcorn to a greasy little 14 year old kid. That doesn't mean anything that doesn't change his past. That doesn't change his horrendous statements.

The Biden administration has put the brakes on their disinformation board after massive backlash. Wow. No surprise here. It was a disastrous rollout by, Mayorkas. It was the worst rollout I've ever seen. People were thinking, you know, what comes to their mind is exactly George Orwell's the ministry of truth, 1984, had it all over the place. And nobody could explain it. When they asked, well, are you spying? No, we're not spying on anything or. This is the worst rollout. And then they have this Jankowicz, oh my God, what an oddball running the whole program. Right. All the, all the videos that emerged about her, you know, certainly didn't help. She's now resigned. Thank goodness. Yeah. But this really was, I, I have to say one of the dumbest decisions that we have seen coming from the top of an administration in a very long time. In an election year where you're already getting your butts kicked, in an election year where Republicans are already screaming that your party is censoring the other one, you roll out a thing and say, okay, guess what? The government is gonna start censoring data. No, that is such a stupid and of course, very terrifying thing. You and I talked about this when it was first introduced and we compared it basically to the Patriot Act. Sure we understand you've got great intentions, but you've also put out a program that is incredibly easy to take advantage of and rob Americans of their constitutional rights. First of all. Which is what this did. It was a flagrant violation of the constitution. Anybody who took a civics class would see that, but not the Democrat leadership. Oh, this is a great idea. Now let me defend Biden on this. I don't believe Biden even knew what was going on. Right. When he first heard about this, I gotta tell you something, he, he was as, he was as horrified as everybody because the guy's taken a constitutional law course. But he, he was as, as upset as everybody, it shuts it down. But that tells me something. That tells me who's in charge of what's going on. And are they checking with Biden before they make these big moves? This rollout was, he's not in charge. I mean, that, that's, that's the problem. He's just not in charge. And, and so these, these characters that are making the decision, just unload on him. It's propaganda. This is what was gonna be propaganda. And the next party that was gonna be in control with the Republicans, they'd have a lot of fun with it. Wouldn't they? Yeah, they absolutely would. You know, if, if Democrats use this and say, oh, well these sites over here are putting out disinformation about health or climate or whatever. The Republicans, when they take back over are gonna say, okay, well these sites over here are putting out disinformation about the government, about this administration. We have to shut them down. It's a tit for tat back and fourth. Who's in, who's in charge, Farron? I, I mean this serious, who is in charge? It's the old guard Clinton folk from the nineties that Biden has brought back into this administration, all these advisors, it's the same people that have been skulking around DC for 30 years. They feel like they've paid their dues. They want back in. Those are the people calling the shots. Okay. You know, and, and, and until we get rid of those people, you know, we're still a generational away from decent Democratic politics because this, this old guard, the, the Carville folks who was brilliant in the nineties, not so much anymore now. Oh, outta touch. Totally. Carville is so out of touch. But, they have to go away. Yeah. And Biden, unfortunately, to a degree still holds onto these people. #rof #trofire #theringoffire #progressivenews

Lin Wood Finally Turns Against MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell

,Trump-loving attorney Lin Wood has finally had enough of MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, and even though the two have a shared goal of overturning the 2020 election, Wood says that he is no longer "following" Lindell. Wood is likely still angry over the fact that a recent election audit that he had backed in New Mexico returned no proof of fraud, and maybe he's just taking out his frustrations on the Pillow Man. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins attempts to explain what's happening.

All is not well in MAGA land folks. And some of the people that have been fighting the hardest to overturn the results of the 2020 election, even still more than 500 days after the 2020 election, they're still fighting to overturn it. Now they're also fighting one another. The latest conflict involves MyPillow CEO, Mike Lindell, and Trump loving attorney Lynn wood. Now Lin wood has of course been involved in some of the efforts to help overturn the results of the 2020 election. He has been a part of some of the lawsuits. However, he has not been quite as outspoken and public as some of the other figures. Like of course, Mike Lindell and Sidney Powell, and according to wood, who is also feuding with Sidney Powell, he actually wasn't involved in one of the lawsuits that was filed in Michigan to overturn that state's election results. He claims that Powell actually added his name to it without his permission. So that's a whole nother fight. And of course, if that is true, if she did that, uh, you're you could be looking at some jail time there, but Lynn wood has been, you know, kind of Bo under the radar, I guess you would say doing things to help overturn the results. Most recently, he pushed for and got an audit in ERO county in New Mexico, cuz he thought, for sure, we're gonna find out in this small little new Mexican county, that there was all this widespread fraud, this is gonna work I'm smarter than these other guys. Well, the results of that audit came back recently and showed, Hey, sorry, Mr. Wood. There is no widespread fraud here, nothing to change the election results. Everything was up and up on the level and wood. I think at that point, got a little angry and in his anger, he starts lashing out at the other people doing this. So when he was asked recently about Mike Lindell's efforts would had this to say, he said, I no longer follow him. I have no use for his products. And then he claimed that one of Mike Lindell's closest allies, a man by the name of David Clements was an agent of the deep state and suggested he was a member of the red shoe club. And if you're not familiar with the red shoe club, that is a conspiracy theory that people who wear red shoes, abused children in a sexual way. So that's what he's saying about Lindell's, you know, best friend closest ally David Clements. And of course, couple months ago, I think it was actually back in February, both Clements and wood suggested that another one of Mike Lindell's allies, a woman by the name of Mary fanning, who helped him produce his, you know, documentary that allegedly showed the fraud. Except there was no fraud to show that she was somehow actually working With dominion voting systems to undermine Mike Lindell's efforts. So there's conspiracy theories all around in this weird little inter party fighting that's taking place between these people trying to overturn the election results. And the reason I wanted to even discuss this story today is to let you know just how Gonzo bonkers these people truly are, right? They're not only out there still trying to overturn the 20, 20 election, even though every audit, every recount, every examination has shown in every state that there was no widespread fraud that these people are chasing ghosts.

Lin Wood Wants SCOTUS To Overturn Georgia's 2021 Runoff Election Results

,Trump-loving attorney Lin Wood is trying (still) to get the January 2021 Georgia Senate runoff election results overturned, and he is now petitioning the Supreme Court to take up the case. Wood's ridiculous lawsuit has already been thrown out by 2 lower courts, but he figures he may have a shot at the conservative SCOTUS. The man is grasping at straws, but that's what it takes to remain on Trump's good side, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Trump loving attorney Lin Wood is back at it again and this time he's not just trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Nope. Now he is trying to overturn the results of Georgia's January, 2021 Senate runoff, the election that took place 13 months ago and Lin Wood has decided, you know what, I think it's a good idea to try to overturn this. Now, granted in Wood's defense, this is not the first time he has attempted to overthrow the Georgia runoff election results. He tried it twice last year, most recently, five months ago where the case was thrown out of court. Just like the time before that, where the case was thrown out of court, because you see Lin Wood doesn't have any evidence at all to back up any of his claims that somehow the Georgia Senate runoff was improper or that there was massive voter fraud. There, there's no evidence at all to suggest that anything out of the ordinary happened. Nevertheless, if you want to continue sucking up to Donald Trump, you gotta do what Trump wants you to do and that is challenge any election result where he or his followers do not win and of course, that is exactly what happened with Georgia's two Senate seats in that runoff. You know, never for a moment that the two individuals there, Perdue and, oh my goodness, I've already forgot her name. I just had it in my head. But either way. They were both involved in potential insider trading scandals. Neither of them got charged for any of it, but it made them look exceptionally bad. So people turned against them. Stacey Abrams, of course, in the state of Georgia, did wonderful get out the vote efforts and that helped propel the Democrats to a victory with those two Senate seats. But here's the thing. Lin Wood needs to be a little more careful than he's currently being. The man has already been popped in Michigan for filing frivolous election challenge lawsuits. Now, Sidney Powell was also involved in that and Wood claims that Powell signed his name onto the lawsuit without his permission and without his knowledge. So he says he shouldn't be paying fines and restitution for filing that lawsuit, although he had no problem with it at the time, I guess. So maybe it's not the best idea to keep filing these frivolous lawsuits and this particular one, by the way, he's not filing it in regular court. No, no, no. He is asking the US Supreme Court for an evidentiary hearing to his 13 month old election challenge in Georgia. That's not gonna happen. The United States Supreme Court, like most other courts in this country and most people in this country, have moved on from the 2020 elections and their aftermath. We're living in the present. We're not trying to relitigate the past every couple of months here. The Supreme Court, I have no doubt even with their conservative tilt is not going to take up this case mostly because there's really no case for them to take up.

,Pro-Trump attorney Lin Wood apparently doesn't speak to his children, but he doesn't believe that it has anything to do with his conspiracy-pushing tendencies. Instead, Wood sees a conspiracy there, too, and suggested over the weekend that the Deep State could be threatening or intimidating his children into ignoring their father in order to somehow punish Wood.

Trump loving lawyer Lin Wood is not having a very good year. In addition to, you know, getting punished by the court systems and facing other lawsuits against him, investigations into whether or not he's even mentally competent to retain his law license, apparently on top of all of that, he's having troubles at home, too. His kids, as he tells us, aren't talking to him. Now, back during father's day, Lin Wood first mentioned the fact that his kids want nothing to do with him and he said, this is what he said. I will reverse roles and give them a gift, which in time they will cherish for the rest of their lives. My gift to them is my renewed commitment to fight the enemies of freedom so that my children and their children and generations of children to come will breathe the fresh air of Liberty. Well, okay. He seemed okay with it back then. He's like, listen, I understand you don't wanna talk to me. I'm gonna keep fighting for you because you need Liberty air. Over Christmas though, I guess Wood got a little more depressed. So he issued this statement last week. Is it possible that scumbag operatives in the deep state might be threatening, even blackmailing the father's children then using the forced alienation from his children to attack the father? The deep state will stop at nothing to destroy it's enemy. Yeah. Okay. All right. Okay. So the deep state, right? The people capable of going out there overthrowing foreign governments overnight, installing handpicked leaders here from the United States, sponsoring coups in other country, destroying their elections, rigging them for our benefit, doing the same thing here in the United States, planting evidence that make it look like Donald Trump and Russia were really, you know, right there like that. That's the deep state. That's what all these people tell us. In addition to doing that, to destabilizing the rest of the planet, they also decided to take a little time in their sinister meetings to be like, hey, you know, Lin Wood. Okay. Well he's a pro-Trump lawyer. Anyway, anyway, anyway. Wouldn't it be really cool if we just got his kids to hate him? Yeah. Right guys? That totally had to have happened, Lin. Like no doubt in my mind at their little weekly, monthly, I don't know how often the deep state holds their little meetings, um, somebody totally spent enough time talking about you and how to just ruin your personal life, which would have no bearing whatsoever on anything you're trying to do. But yeah, it's all about you, isn't it? And at the end of the day folks, that's what a lot of these conspiracy theories are really about. It's about the self-absorbed and paranoid of course, nature of these individuals that think the world is out to get them because the world revolves around them. Everybody out there every day is constantly thinking about them and how we can screw them over. Lin Wood, I firmly believe, would benefit from, you know, many, many hours on a psychiatrist couch and maybe, maybe if he did that, maybe he could learn how to talk to his kids again. Maybe heal those relationships. But instead he'd chooses to go down the conspiracy path and say, well, if my kids don't like me clearly it's because the deep state got to them because the deep state had nothing better to do that week, I assume.
