“WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again,” Trump wrote late Saturday at Truth Social and on X/Twitter.
The media pounced: Trump was “sowing doubt once more about the integrity of the election, even though cheating is incredibly rare,” said the AP.
The AP has decided that election fraud just is not a thing.
“Please beware,” Trump continued in his post, “that this legal exposure extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials. Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country.”
In other words, election fraud will be prosecuted by the Department of Justice.
The headline on the AP story, carried around the world is this: “Trump threatens to jail adversaries in escalating rhetoric ahead of pivotal debate.”
Even in the Anchorage Daily News on Sunday, the AP headline ran verbatim as news, not commentary:
“Trump’s message represents his latest threat to use the office of the presidency to exact retribution if he wins a second term. There is no evidence of the kind of fraud he continues to insist marred the 2020 election; in fact, dozens of courts, Republican state officials and his own administration have said he lost fairly,” the AP story continued.
The AP was once considered to be a neutral news source. In recent years, however, it has drifted toward a point-of-view style of journalism.
Over on PBS, the news team is already pre-spinning how Trump might deny a 2024 loss:
“Beware when PBS brings on a ‘nonpartisan’ expert on election integrity, and no one mentions Kamala Harris at all. On the September 3 PBS News Hour, deeply biased White House reporter Laura Barron-Lopez brought on David Becker for a segment titled “How Trump has made election lies a key feature of his campaign.” But this wasn’t just about Trump denying he lost the election in 2020. Most of it was about ‘pre-denial,’ or how Trump would spin a loss in the 2024 election,” explained writer Tim Graham at Media Research Centers’ Newsbuster website, which holds mainstream media accountable.
Becker co-authored an anti-Trump book with CBS reporter Major Garrett, titled “The Big Truth: Upholding Democracy in the Age of ‘The Big Lie,'” touted as an “overwhelming counterattack” on Trump’s election denial. The “Big Truth” authors imagined the outbreak of civil war in 2023, according to Graham.
At Amazon, the new book by conservative Jack Posobiec, titled “Bulletproof: How a Shot Meant for Donald Trump Took Out Joe Biden,” was given a thumbnail book cover that advertised a completely different book: “Kinfolk.” After over 24 hours of the wrong image being attributed to the conservative writer’s new book, Amazon had still not fixed the error. It was showing a photo of a publication that is a guide to Seoul, Korea.
Posobiec wrote, “They are sabotaging the FIRST book ever written about the Trump assassination.”
The mainstream media and companies like Amazon appear determined to take sides during the election cycle, repeating habits they perfected and locked in during the 2016 and 2020 general elections when Trump was also on the ballot.
Must Read Alaska will continue to hold them accountable, even from our outpost here in the Great Land, where we work to preserve free speech and free people.
Donald, shut up. You’re gonna tweet yourself out of office.
Alaska elections has enough issues of its own. I think that if 2 people have trouble finding witnesses for absentee ballots, then they need to find another way to vote. Mail-in is not secure enough. I think if dozens of people can’t find their polling place because the Division of Elections fails to adequately post its location on its site, then voter disenfranchisement has occurred. I think if there aren’t enough ballots for people to vote, then the election has been impacted. And most of all, I think that when judges decide to change laws, not follow laws, or ignore laws, then they are not acting as judges but as executors. I have seen all these things happen in Alaska.
The flack gets heavier and heavier as you near the target. Trump is almost dead center over the release area. The detonation is going to be huge.
MAGAfags are weird lol
