  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
More lies from the other side...
« on: August 05, 2025, 09:38:34 pm »
I'm still not sure how I ended up on their mailing list, but the Dems have been spamming me and begging for money.
(Not happening, they stole enough of my hard earned pay over the years.

But they are trotting out their biggest guns, and this is no exception.

This latest is purportedly from none other than Eric Holder, perhaps the most corrupt AG the US has ever had:

Quote
Shameful. Just shameful…

J____, Republicans are conspiring right now to steal the 2026 midterm elections.

They know how unpopular their agenda is, especially after passing a budget bill that will hurt millions of families. So Donald Trump has demanded that Texas Republicans call a special session to design a further gerrymandered map — in the hopes that it could net them four or five seats next fall.

I’ll be frank: If the GOP is able to remain in power despite the will of the people, it will be an outrageous violation of our democracy.

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress are afraid of voters who are rightfully furious with their far-right agenda. Instead of changing the way they govern, they’re deciding to cheat — manipulating district lines to cling to illegitimate power. And Joseph, that’s not democracy. That's the kind of discrimination that we all should stand against.

At the National Democratic Redistricting PAC, we’re working tirelessly in Texas and around the country alongside the Democratic National Committee to end gerrymandering by electing fair maps champions, advancing redistricting reform, and growing a grassroots movement for free and fair elections.

This is a fight we’re built to win.

Politicians shouldn’t choose their voters — voters should choose their representatives. Split a donation between the NDR PAC and the DNC to defend democracy against Republicans’ coordinated, anti-democracy efforts in Texas and across the country >>

(Donation buttons here)

One of the most shameful parts about this is that Governor Greg Abbott announced that he added mid-decade redistricting to the agenda on July 9 — just days after deadly flooding devastated parts of the state, in the middle of recovery efforts and amidst communities searching for loved ones.

J____, it’s moments like these that this batch of Republicans are showing their true colors. Communities in Texas needed their governor to lead in a moment of tragedy and crisis. Instead, he prioritized a partisan scheme to cling to unearned power.

Keep in mind: The current map is already being challenged by voters because it violates the Voting Rights Act with a clear-cut racial gerrymander. Now, the state wants to double down on this illegal map — seizing an opportunity to manipulate maps even further in a blatant power grab simply because they cannot win fairly. And now, they could manufacture power for themselves for years to come in Texas.

We, the American people, still control our fate — and with the stakes so high, we cannot allow ourselves to be resigned or tired. Split a contribution today between the NDR PAC and the DNC — and let’s fight back together with everything we’ve got.

In service,

Eric H. Holder, Jr.
82nd Attorney General of the United States

Well, I didn't grow up so far from a manure pile to not be able to recognize it for what it is, and this is one that puts out a fog bank when the weather turns. Eff'em.

But we should at least know what they are telling those they are hitting up for money.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Holder's got money.  Why doesn't he donate?  His last contribution to the Democrat Party was in 2016.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

You know leftists never use their own money... :shrug:

They spend yours if they can get their grubbies on it.
