A 9 year old with a formed opinion on politics. Right. This is how racism is systemic. Praise Confederate traitors and salute the stars and bars. Abbie Hoffman was arrested for wearing a flag shirt, now it is on underwear, BBQ aprons and beer cans, yet Repulsivecans demand sports figures bow to it.

Arizona Election Audit Enters New Phase as Ballot Count Ends
"Audit Update: Paper examination and counting are finished today," the audit team wrote in a post on Twitter. "Thank you to all the amazing Arizona volunteers who made this audit possible!"
That effort at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum is what has wrapped up. But Bennett said other audit work is ongoing, including the evaluation of data from election servers and voting machines. He said he expects a final report by Labor Day, but it could come as soon as late July.
"I think too much emphasis has been put on the tasks that are happening here at the Coliseum, but these are not the only two tasks of the audit," Bennett said.

Ron Johnson calls for Republicans to run for local office and 'take back our culture'
Johnson made the remarks in a speech to Wisconsin's state GOP convention, where his presence was met with applause and chants of "six more years," The Capital Times reports. The senator bemoaned what he characterized as the Republican party neglecting local offices in favor of federal positions.
"Take back our school boards, our county boards, our city councils. We will take back our culture. We don't have to fear this anymore," Johnson said according to the Times. He advocated for so-called "trickle-up elections."
The Time reports Johnson, who has not announced whether he will run for reelection in 2022, also used his address to take aim at Democratic politicians, criticizing them for their repeated calls for social change, while also acknowledging the U.S. is "not perfect."
"The leaders of the left talk about fundamentally transforming this nation. Do you even like, much less love, something you want to fundamentally transform?" Johnson asked the crowd. "America’s not perfect; we had that original sin from slavery, but we’ve made progress. We’ve continuously improved. That’s not good enough for the left."
"Our little democracy here, this marvel we call America, is but a blip in time. It’s kind of tiny, it’s kind of insignificant on that scale. But man, is it rare and is it ever precious," Johnson added. The Times notes that he appeared to be alluding to the 1997 film "Contact," in which a group of scientists make first contact with extraterrestrials.
"So it’s just my belief that it is our solemn duty, having been given this gift, something this rare, something this precious, it’s our duty to make sure that it not only survives for our kids and grandkids and great-grandkids — that it thrives."

Bill Barr's Shocking Atlantic Interview Reveals Incriminating Evidence of Trump's Corrupt Intent
In a surprising turn of events, former Attorney General Bill Bar sits down for an interview with The Atlantic. Barr said Trump's claims of election fraud are, in Barr's words, "all bullish!t." Barr also reveals that he told Trump in no uncertain terms that there was no election fraud, to which Trump responded, "you must hate Trump." Given that Trump continues to lie about the election being "rigged" and the results being "fraudulent", Barr's first-hand account of his conversation with Trump may prove to be powerfully incriminating evidence of Trump's corrupt intent/guilty knowledge/criminal mens rea as he continued to lie the the American people about election fraud.
In a stunning admission, Barr also relates how Mitch McConnell asked him to deal with the issue of Trump's election lies, not to save the democracy or to give the American people confidence in the election results, but because McConnell needed Barr's help to save his Republican majority in the Senate.
Bill Bar may have viewed this interview as a first step on his reputation rehabilitation tour. However, the interview is actually deeply damaging of Barr's reputation, along with the reputations of Trump and McConnel.

Ousted Oregon lawmaker Mike Nearman nominated to reclaim his old seat (yahoo.com)
Ousted Oregon lawmaker Mike Nearman nominated to reclaim his old seat
Oregon Republicans nominated former Rep. Mike Nearman to retake the seat he was just expelled from, Oregon Public Broadcasting reports.
The big picture: Nearman was ousted by Oregon Lawmakers after a video emerged that appeared to show him coaching right-wing demonstrators on how to breach the state Capitol last year.
What they're saying: “I’m humbled that my fellow Precinct Committee-persons voted overwhelmingly to return me to the House as their representative,” Nearman said, per OPB.

The big picture: Nearman was ousted by Oregon Lawmakers after a video emerged that appeared to show him coaching right-wing demonstrators on how to breach the state Capitol last year.
- Nearman is currently facing charges of official misconduct and criminal trespass.
- His nomination doesn't guarantee he'll take back the vacate house seat. That decision will be made by county commissioners in Polk, Yamhill, Marion and Benton counties, per OPB. There are several other nominees commissioners will consider.
What they're saying: “I’m humbled that my fellow Precinct Committee-persons voted overwhelmingly to return me to the House as their representative,” Nearman said, per OPB.
- “The fact that they chose me shows that they value someone with courage and principles that will stand up to Democrats, the media and even their own party to do what is right."
- Polk County Commissioner Craig Pope appeared to throw cold water on the idea he'd send Nearman back to the House.
- "I will honor and respect the integrity of the decision of the House members, especially those from the Republican party that took considerable political risk to place their vote to expel," Pope said in an email to OPB.
- “We can all work toward allowing another community member from HD23 to be recognized to represent in the interim and if Mr. Nearman wants to run in 2022 he can certainly take his shot at it," he added.

Top US general got into shouting match with Trump over race protests – report | US military | The Guardian
Top US general got into shouting match with Trump over race protests – report
Book claims Gen Mark Milley yelled at Trump, prompting former president to yell back: ‘You can’t fucking talk to me like that!’
Gen Mark Milley, the chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff, reportedly “yelled” at Donald Trump that he was not and would not be in charge of the federal response to protests for racial justice, prompting the then president to yell back: “You can’t fucking talk to me like that!”
The shouting match in the White House situation room was reported on Monday by Axios, in another trail of a much-trailed book: Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost by Michael Bender, a Wall Street Journal reporter.
Bender’s book will be published in August but it has been extensively previewed.
Milley made headlines last week when he clashed with Republicans over teaching concerning America’s history of racism – and for his pains was called “stupid” and a “pig” by Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
A previous excerpt of Bender’s work showed Milley resisting Trump’s urges to “crack skulls” and “just shoot” protesters marching for racial justice after the murder of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis.
The exchange reported by Axios concerned command authority. Milley, Bender writes, told Trump he was an adviser but could not command the response.
“I said you’re in fucking charge!” Trump reportedly shouted.
“Well, I’m not in charge!” Milley is said to have “yelled” back.
“You can’t fucking talk to me like that!” Trump reportedly shouted.
Bender reports that Milley told advisers gathered in the situation room: “Goddamnit. There’s a room full of lawyers here. Will someone inform him of my legal responsibilities?”
William Barr, then attorney general, is said to have backed Milley up.
Trump denied the exchange, a spokesman calling it “fake news” and saying Bender, who like scores of other authors interviewed the former president for his book, “never asked me about it and it’s totally fake news”.
“If Gen Milley had yelled at me, I would have fired him,” Trump said.
It has been widely reported that Trump wanted to invoke the Insurrection Act, a historic piece of legislation to deal with domestic unrest most recently used during the Los Angeles riots in 1992. It was not invoked but the New York Times has reported that aides drafted an order. Milley reportedly opposed use of the act.
On 1 June last year, Trump raged at governors on a conference call, telling them to “toughen up” in response to protests which sometimes turned violent.
“If you don’t dominate your city and your state, they’re going to walk away with you,” Trump said. “In Washington we’re going to do something people haven’t seen before.”
Milley and other aides subsequently accompanied Trump on a controversial walk across Lafayette Square outside the White House, which had been violently cleared of protesters, to stage a photo-op at a church.
The general later apologised.
“I should not have been there,” he told students at National Defense University. “My presence in that moment, and in that environment, created the perception of the military involved in domestic politics.”

Kinzinger on Trump event: 'Rally of a loser president'
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) on Sunday dismissed former President Trump's rally in Ohio over the weekend, characterizing it as a gathering of people to support "a loser president."
"It was a rally of a loser president. I mean, he's the first president to lose reelection in decades," Kinzinger said Sunday evening during an appearance on CNN. "I don't know why these people would go there and in essence ogle at and in many cases just sort of worship a loser."

Audit leader Doug Logan appears in conspiracy theorist election film
Doug Logan, the lead auditor of the Arizona election, was featured in an election conspiracy movie in which he accused the CIA of spreading misinformation
https://sethhettena.com/2019/08/18/the-ceo-of-overstock-has-more-to-say-about-maria-butina-the-fbi-and-don-jr/
I imagine all that data that they have on everyone that has ordered from Overstock might be useful.
(aka she knew I was already a mark and prone to spouting (if not also believing) the right wing lies that keeps power and wealth in hands of their extremely small demographic).
Anyway, it was shortly after that — the period I was telling them of talk of arrangements being made for her to meet Don Jr., and they were brushing them off as silly to worry about — that she asked me to Russia to speak and meet Putin, and they came back and told me to break it off and get her out of my life. And as I said, I was right in that window that any recrudescence of disease would have led to organs getting pulled out as a next step. So I folded and disappeared from the scene. Probably first or second week of April 2016. I did not see her again until October 2016, I believe.
Q. What happened after you spoke to the Justice Department?
A. I learned that Maria was transferred 9 days later from a SHU unit [solitary confinement] in a prison in Virginia to the nicest women’s camp in the federal system. So I give great compliments to the DOJ. Nothing happens in 9 days normally. But I think they heard my story, checked out some of the basic claims, and moved her out of isolation by the end of the following week (May 9). The following Wednesday they announced John Durham.
[Note: John H. Durham, the U.S. attorney for the District of Connecticut, is investigating the origins of the special counsel’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election. News broke about his investigation on May 13. The Washington Post reported that the investigation had begun “in recent weeks.”]
I should make clear that I have no idea what connection there is, if any, between my coming forward and any subsequent events, including Durham’s appointment. I make no claims in that regard. I know only that I spoke twice to the DOJ, on April 5 and 30. I am under the impression that there are numerous other whistle-blowers coming forward, with tales that amount to political espionage conducted not just against Republicans, but against Hillary Clinton, by certain high-level actors (X, Y, and Z). Mine may well be (and probably is) a footnote to a footnote to the whole story. I hope so.
Q. It’s a fascinating story, but I need to report it out. Is there someone who can corroborate this?
Sara Carter has had some recent confirmation from the Department of Justice. I don’t know what your connections are like there, but that’s why you get paid the big bucks! I’m not in the convincing business. I am simply in the business or letting the world know what happened. My rabbi told me “You let feds do fed jobs, you do your job. You are a citizen. Your country is ripping itself in two. Your job is to come forward to the public.” So I have.
[Note: Byrne’s “rabbi” is Warren Buffett. Byrne’s father, John, was the CEO GEICO, one of Buffett’s companies, and Patrick has known Buffett for years.]
I watched this unfold for the last year knowing I had a lot of the answers, and in late June decided (and was advised by my rabbi) that I had a moral duty to come forward. So I have. It is proving interesting to see how long it takes the world to get it.
Ok, Seth, I have qualms. From what you have written so far, I fear that when you learn the full truth you will seek to distort it because it conflicts with some things you have written so far. On the other hand, I have it on good authority that you are a legitimate, honest reporter. I have given you a ton. I have a mountain more. Let us see how you represent what I have told you before going any further.
Also heard this at best 'useful idiot' hired Flynn and is helping radicalize people with Stone and Trump.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/may/29/patrick-byrne-trump-fundraiser-election-conspiracy-theories
“This is yet another piece of evidence that the whole effort in Arizona is more of a disinformation campaign than anything else,” said Larry Norden, the director of the electoral reform program at the Brennan Center for Justice. “A good rule of thumb is that you should not take election’s work out of the hands of the professionals who run them and outsource it to people with a clear political agenda. It’s profoundly dangerous for our democracy.”
Some former Republican members of Congress say the privately run crusade by Byrne and his allies is hurting democracy in America as a whole.
Jeff Flake, a Republican former Arizona senator, said in an interview that Byrne’s “involvement in all this does not add credibility. It’s damaging to the Republican party and our system of government.”
Byrne did not respond to requests for comment left with the America Project.
But judging by his media appearances, Byrne isn’t fazed by critics of the growing role he has been playing.
Last month, Byrne in an interview with the New Tang Dynasty, an obscure television outlet whose website claims it was launched by Chinese-Americans who fled communism, flatly claimed: “It was a fraudulent election. It didn’t end for us on January 20.’’
Likewise, Byrne’s fundraising to promote false information about the elections may not end in Arizona.
The America Project website says if fundraising exceeds the $2.8m goal, it will use the monies “for other election integrity activities’’ including audits in other states and related expenses.

Arizona's Maricopa County to replace all voting machines after GOP audit
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors released its response to a May letter from Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D), in which she expressed concerns “regarding the security and integrity of these machines, given that the chain of custody, a critical security tenet, has been compromised and election officials do not know what was done to the machines while under Cyber Ninjas’ control.”
In response, the county told Hobbs it “shares your concerns” and added that the board acknowledges the secretary of state’s “authority as Arizona’s Chief Election Officer to determine what equipment is acceptable for use in Arizona’s elections.”
“Accordingly, I write to notify you that Maricopa County will not use the subpoenaed election equipment in any future election,” Monday’s letter added. In a press release announcing the decision, the county vowed to “never use equipment that could pose a risk to free and fair elections.”
According to the Arizona Republic, Maricopa County is currently about halfway through its $6.1 million lease with Dominion Voting Systems for the voting machines.
