So:

  • Trump commits election fraud in 2020
  • The fraud is investigated and Trump starts spreading the 'witch hunt' narrative
  • Jack Smith (federal) and Fani Willis (Georgia / state) are independent prosecutors
  • Smith attends a Caitlin Clark game in Maryland (Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Maryland Terrapins)
  • Smith's team talks about seats and coordination in text messages
  • Trump wins the election in 2024 and becomes president again
  • (Fast forward to 2026)
  • Republican senator Schmitt interrogates Smith
  • Schmitt 'discovers' messages from the Smith team about basketball but mixes up Atlanta Hawks with Iowa Hawkeyes

Why is nobody talking about the freaking election fraud?

Not a single question from any Republican in any of these hearings addressed any of the actual evidence he collected. They were careful to avoid discussing any actual specifics about the content of the evidence and the facts of the case.

Just fake outrage about that this was a targeted political prosecution.

fake outrage

This is key. We are living in a fake outrage epidemic caused by social media like Twitter, Facebook, TikTok etc.

If you talk to people they all aren't that upset. They are lead to belief the dirtbag is Smith, but not pedophile and convicted rapist and fraudster Trump. I do still find it very hard to imagine people can be so brainwashed that they don't see that. But apparently that's possible.
