For the totalitarians to succeed, history shows the media has always been used to control information and shape public opinion. Now the totalitarians also have the giant Tech companies to control information and free speech. If the totalitarians ever take over, not only will the government be weaponized, but social media will become an enforcement tool of the government.
I have asked a number of people with this claim to show me evidence and not a single person, not one, could do so. This is a dangerous lie that Steve is perpetuating.
Does any one else see the physical and political resemblance between Ted Cruz and Joseph McCarthy. McCarthy was bald and did not have a beard, but Cruz sure does look like him, maybe he is McCarthy’s illegitimate grandson.
Oh, there’s proof all right. And it will be delivered at the same time as his beautiful and less expensive new health care plan (with free COVID treatment for everyone) is released, his tax returns and the announcement of Mexico’s payment of all expenses for the Wall. You know, infrastructure week. Everyone’s talking about it.
The Republican tactic is to always accuse others of their own misdeeds. The Republicans have done everything possible for decades to male sure that various groups’ votes do not count or are not counted. Not to mention finding ways to stop them from voting at all. This cartoon is an attempt (one more time) at cynical manipulation of the truth.
Poor desperate and despondent Kelly, so engaged in conspiracy theories and fantasies.
But in this case, he’s right. Dozens of Republican House and several Senate members are engaging either election law violations or outright sedition. The media needs to cover this more, since either can cause them to be expelled from Congress.
Face it Steve, Trump lost! And he lost not because people voted for Biden, but because people voted against the laziest, nastiest, most dishonest, grifting con-man, ever to watch TV 14 hours a day in the White House.
Mr. Kelley, please do your homework. Below is the link to the SCOTUS case of Texas v Pennsylvania, et al. In particular, the Opposition Motions from GA and WI, and the Amicus brief from Carter Phillips et al (which was filed by Republicans) will give you more than enough explanation, in rather plain English, that States followed their own election laws and how 3 U.S.C. § 5 spells out how States are to handle Election related disputes.
You can also look up any other cases that have been brought as both State and Federal courts post filings, motions, Amicus Briefs, rulings, etc… to their individual websites now, you don’t need a Westlaw account.
If, after doing your homework, you still think there are violations, it would be helpful to us, your readers, and supporting the goal of public discourse and debate, if you would share with us which states and which specific laws you thought were violated.
trumps folk are the ones closing their eyes, and relying only on what trump and his ilk spew out. And… their record on truth leaves a lot to be desired.
There is a split in the Republican Party. Murkowski and Romney, for instance, have issued statements supporting the results of the election, and even Mitch McConnell, who is normally about as disgusting a piece of filth you can find in a gutter, will vote to accept the results. Then there’s Cruz and his buddies, who are basically demanding that the whole constitutional system be scrapped so the petulant modern Nero can get his prize even though he lost. How can the Republican Party stay together? Some responsible conservatives have already left the party, and there are beginning to be a few people calling for a new party.
So, Bill Barr is blindfolded, the Supreme Court is looking the other way, and Fox News has been bought off? If you told me that this kind of idiocy could pervade our country tens years ago, I’d have sent for the guys with the net to get you the mental help you so clearly need. We have become a national of weak minded tRumplican sheep who think carrying a long gun somehow compensates for their shortcomings. Will someone please read their history books to see what has happened to former democracies that enabled this kind of lunacy. People like Kelley are the enablers.
Based on studies I’m reviewing, one cannot use facts to change a Trump supporter’s mind because their allegiance/positions are purely based on emotional needs. Trumpism is faith based, thus if a supporter accepts any logical flaw in their support there is a danger their faith will be disproved and they wil again feel lost.
NO EVIDENCE FOUND. When tRump appointed judges asked tRump’s lawyers for evidence of voter fraud the lawyers, in 59 court hearings, said they had none. Even Attorney General Barr, tRump’s own hand-picked toady, said there is no evidence of voter fraud. This attempt smacks of Putin’s Russia.
Skelley is one of the many Trumpites who is convinced that Democrats are vastly smarter than Republicans. How else could the Democrats have perpetrated a massive multi state fraud involving elected officials, even of the Republican persuasion, of which Republicans have found absolutely no evidence? Not even evidence sufficient to make a Trump appointed judge take more than a few minutes to throw out of court? Not even non-evidence that Skelley can distort and insert into one of his cartoons?
Listen to the recording of Trump talking to the Republican Sec. of State in Georgia telling him to “FIND VOTES” to make “HIM” win the election. Thank you to The Washington Post and freedom of the press.
NOTE TO Steve Kelly: The Media doesn’t have their eyes covered, you do.
Have you seen the report from Washington Post (including actual tape recording) about Trump trying to strong-arm the Georgia person who’s in charge of their elections? I’ll give you 10 to 1 odds that Skelley will never mention it… EVER.
Wonder if that horrendous phone call has concentrated any Trumpist minds?? We’re into full blown psychosis now – your beloved Mobster in Chief is not sane.
They’ve taken it to court, Steve. The courts said “This is sh*t”.
When Trump didn’t win an Emmy, he said the Emmys were rigged! When Ted Cruz won the Iowa Caucus in 2016, Trump said Cruz didn’t REALLY win, he STOLE it!
He ALWAYS says it’s rigged when he loses!
You know why? Because he SICK!
He is psychologically incapable of admitting that he lost. If he ever confronted it, he’d probably have a nervous breakdown.
They call other people “snowflakes” while following a man who is so traumatized by losing that he has to pretend it didn’t happen.
And the REAL “Trump Derangement Syndrome” is the total denial of reality by this clown’s followers.
Why do you find it impossible to believe that he lost? It’s what all the polls said was going to happen. SHOCKER: The guy who led in the polls for 6 straight months won.
And he has never had 50% approval for his entire term. That’s never happened before.
And he got 3 million fewer votes than his opponent LAST time. And he has spent the last four years calling the MAJORITY that voted against him “LOSERS” and “ENEMIES.” Did he think that was going to get them to vote for him the NEXT time?
Add to that little things like his completely incompetent and dishonest handling of a pandemic that’s has killed 300,000 Americans, and is killing the equivalent of a 9/11 every single day. Or his saying he “FELL IN LOVE” with a North Korean dictator who murders his own citizens and tortured an American citizen to death.
He has spent four years making everyone but his own original little band of worshippers HATE him. And all those Americans VOTE.
The reason I keep Steve Kelly in my feed is that I enjoy how feeble his arguments are. I know most Republicans can do better. I just enjoy watching Steve struggle.
First, he has overlooked the media reports of the sixty-something court cases where the Republicans failed to present any evidence of election fraud. I guess the fraud is so widespread and pervasive that it failed to leave a trace. The most damning evidence of a crime presented was voter flatulence in a Michigan House of Reps hearing, which was detected by those in the general vicinity of Rudy Giuliani. This crime was not reported widely enough.
Second, Kelly seems to forget that he and his employer, The Pittsburgh Post Gazette, ARE the media.
Since the only one claiming election fraud is the person who lost… and he is only claiming fraud in the states he lost… and since every judge and every person over seeing said elections have already debunked that claim… Only media that is loyal to said loser would continue to report and echo his lies.

Confederate Republicans are violating the US election all over the place.
They are promising violent right wing riots on Jan 6 because the American people rejected their dictator.
Top republican traitors to the Constitution refuse to recognize Biden.
They need to be removed from office for sedition after Biden is installed.
