      Hey guys, the Jack Smith Report is *right there.* It really should at least have dulled the surprise a bit.

      Trump is clearly illiterate, but you’d think the people around him would’ve told him what was actually in those documents before releasing them.

      He depends on his dumbass cultists not being able to READ.

      And he is right on that part.

      How do I get out of this AI simulation?!?

      There’s no way they’re this exceptionally incompetent. They hold a national broadcast to let people know they cheated in 2020 and STILL lost. But, hey, they totally didn’t double down in 2024 where 42 historically blue districts flipped red, while not a single one flipped blue.

      We already have Voter ID’s

      It’s called your SS# Number. It’s specific to you. Every voter provides it when they register. If they see it was used more than once, red flag. If it’s not a valid SS#, red flag. If the number belongs to a non-citizen, red flag….

      This is all checked during the certification process via your SS#… It is a form of voter ID… They don’t just ask EVERY voter for their SS# when they register for fun…

      Does anybody really believe that they can’t tell that a voter in Texas used a SS# that doesn’t exist or somebody in Florida tried to use one that belongs to somebody who lives in Ohio? Basic 1950’s technology can do that much.

      The Mueller report exists and lays out actual evidence that led to real prosecutions.

      Thinking a lot lately about how history’s failed tyrants left the stage and whether we rhyme or repeat any of that past.

      A few hurriedly decamped for Saudi Arabia. Others, like Mussolini and Ceausescu, were brutally executed by their own.

      But Crassus’ rumored demise really resonates somehow : “A story later emerged that, after Crassus’ death, the Parthians poured molten gold into his mouth to mock his thirst for wealth.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Licinius_Crassus)

      Everyone say it with me… Every accusation is an admission. Even if you say it live on TV, it just makes it an even bigger admission.

      Michael flynn was pardoned for working with russian diplomats around this very topic.

      Dont forget.

      All MAGA does is make stuff up to further their own political agendas. They could care less how it degrades the country. None of them do the jobs they’re supposed to do. They are the bane of America’s existence.

      The table in the document lists Russia, China and Iran, and shows Russia checked all the boxes in terms of the kinds of election interference it conducted. Israel should be listed to, just not in the unclass summary.

      >You might have heard that Donald Trump gave a [**weird, rambling, nonsense speech**](https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/07/16/us/trump-speech-election) last night full of [**misinformation and lies**](https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/16/politics/what-trumps-newly-declassified-documents-do-and-dont-tell-us-about-threats-to-us-elections), trying to spread distrust in our electoral process ahead of the 2026 midterms — so that when Republicans likely lose some of the power they currently wield across the government, Trump and his allies can pretend it was due to faulty elections. The President of the United States is literally undermining trust in elections, which is both dangerous and incredibly stupid.

      >>But, more to the point, the newly declassified documents that the White House released, not only fail to support the rambling claims he made last night, but they actually show (pretty clearly) that China (who he blamed for foreign interference) not only deliberately chose not to engage in nefarious attacks on the US elections, but rather that the Russians, who have long supported Trump, *did* do so.

      The Russia Russia Russia hoax was the friends he made on the way. Leave it to Trump and his ghouls to completely out themselves because they are that stupid.

      >>Look, we all know what this was really about. Trump and his MAGA toadies know that the outlook for the 2026 midterms looks bad for the GOP. Really bad.

      >Rather than, I dunno, figuring out why he has the lowest approval ratings of a president in ages, Trump refuses to accept the fact that he’s been one of America’s worst, most destructive, most corrupt presidents ever, and has decided to just cast doubt on the next election.

      No lies detected

      >Indeed, as Tom Nichols writes, Trump’s speech last night clearly [**did way more damage**](https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/07/trump-address/687939/?gift=otEsSHbRYKNfFYMngVFweF5-ZaXxJhUIbxXfEQG6m6I&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share) to American elections than anything China sought to do.

      >The specifics don’t matter to MAGA cultists. They’ll be out there (and probably in our comments) ignoring what these documents actually say. They’ll repeat the false claims. They will claim any Democrat elected was elected via fraud. But the documents say what they say (even if the juicier bits about Russia are redacted). And they say Putin wanted Trump to win and took all sorts of efforts to help him out, including targeting our election systems. China lightly favored Biden, and while it may have taken exploratory steps, it realized that anything more serious would almost certainly blow up in its face — and chose not to interfere.

      It’s read the transcripts all over again.

      >If know we live in an era where it often feels that facts don’t matter, but these are the facts. And the fact that they come from Donald Trump’s own declassification of documents that he pretends say the exact opposite of what they say is the kind of thing that I hope people remember on election day.

      They are counting on their illiterate base to form their gaslighting army against anyone who brings this up.
