Oh, Rudy. (Giuliani, of course.) He got just a little ahead of himself Friday. He posted in social media that if Arizona authorities couldn’t find him by midnight, they “must dismiss the indictment” and “concede they can’t count votes.” Ha, ha, zinger, right? He was at a celebration of his 80th birthday. I think he was having a good time and decided to show off a bit by sticking it to Arizona. What fun!

Then, as he was leaving the party? He was served. He is facing conspiracy, fraud, and forgery charges in connection with the fake elector scheme, one of the many lies in the MAGA cavalcade of lies. Shortly thereafter, his ‘taunt Arizona’ post was removed. He was the last to be served in the matter. Has he been hiding? Well, he’s served now. Of course, he looks “forward to full vindication soon,” which is the classic line criminals use after they’ve been caught but before they’re convicted…

Everything every MAGA says about the 2020 election is a lie. Everything. All of them, from the very top to the lowest pustule, are lying. Donny, MAGA media, toadies, MAGA members of Congress, and rank-and-file base, all of them. They all know Biden won, fair and square. They don’t care. They keep pretending that if they don’t confess it, they might still pull it off.

People like me have been fighting back as we could, matching fact against fiction, fact against fiction, fact against fiction in a vain attempt to convince MAGA rank and file that they’ve been deceived. But the stories continue to flow. They WANT to preserve the lie, so they lie. (Some of them claim to be Christians. They’ll look you right in the eye and lie to your face. That’s a violation of God’s law, ‘Thou shalt not bear false witness.’ MAGA doesn’t hesitate to lie anyway, making clear they don’t give two figs about their God’s law.)

The reason it’s important is this: they’re already lying about the 2024 election and they’re not going to stop. They NEED the lie if they do plan to actually follow through with their January 3 coup attempt, and MAGA Mike Johnson showing up to publicly fluff Donny at Donny’s trial has resurrected my concern. (MAGA Mike is a key player in the scheme.) The rest of us need to take a page from 2020. We KNOW they’re lying. We need to call them out on it. No more trying to convince. Just a straight up challenge.

“Bring the evidence or I’ll know you’re lying.” Just that sentence. When they try to obfuscate, “Bring the evidence or I’ll know you’re lying.” When they try whataboutism, “Bring the evidence or I’ll know you’re lying.” When they call you names, “Bring the evidence or I’ll know you’re lying.” Stay on point. Don’t let them distract you.

Just know – and trust – they they are lying. This will be the most scrutinized election in history. Our biggest problem is going to be MAGA who managed to slither into positions of import regarding the elections and might interfere. But remember, the people caught trying to steal elections or tamper with machines or cast multiple votes are MAGA. Always MAGA. The only problems with the last election were caused by MAGA and the only problems with the next election will come from MAGA, too. But they’ll be lying…

Donny is trying to slither out of the debates already. He has said he was going to insist on drug tests before the debate. This is yet another MAGA story. They tell themselves over and over that Biden is incompetent and can’t speak. Then, he gave the State of the Union address and it was a VERY well done, VERY articulate speech. Due to their own limitations, MAGA can only acknowledge it was a great speech with a backhand. “He must have been on drugs,” they say. The quiet part is, “…because he did a very good job.” So now it’s MAGA dogma that Biden used drugs to prop himself up in that effort so he’ll use drugs to prop himself up for the debates.

I think Biden should accept the challenge. Drug tests for BOTH candidates, with full screenings and a complete list of drugs found in BOTH candidates systems would be very enlightening, would it not? MAGA has rumors that maybe Biden was using drugs to up his game. Thinking Americans have records proving that Trump’s White House was awash in drugs.

I’ll tell you this: I think Trump is bluffing. It doesn’t even matter if Biden WAS using drugs to up his game. He’ll never have to follow through. When trump realizes that he, too, would be required to test, he’ll drop the whole thing…

I saw video from a March 24 rally in Ohio the other day of Trump bitching about the teleprompter and how it wasn’t working well for him. “Don’t pay these suckers,” he said. (As if he pays anybody…) But wait. If I remember correctly, among MAGA claims of trump superiority is that Biden has to use a teleprompter and Donny doesn’t. But now, everyone knows Donny uses one, too! It begs the question, is there anything MAGA is honest about? Anything at all? I’ll wait…

Donny got booed the other day. By MAGA. They booed him. He had taken the day off to attend his son’s graduation, which he did. Then, he had time for a couple of campaign events, one in Minnesota and the other at an NRA rally in Dallas. For reasons as yet unrevealed, he kept the NRA rally waiting for over two hours before taking the stage. What a Prima Donna, or in his case, a Prima Donny. The crowd didn’t like it, but they DID stay.

The reward for their patience? They got to witness Donny glitch out like Moscow Mitch does from time to time. He had been blathering his MAGA blather for about an hour when he suddenly stopped talking. He didn’t freeze. He just… stopped. He stood quietly for a little over thirty seconds. No one knows what was going on. He shook his head a little. It looked to me like the kind of head shake a pitcher gives a catcher when he’s shaking off a suggested pitch. It was weird.

To me, it suggests the possibility that Donny uses a hidden ear piece and he either wasn’t receiving, or he didn’t like what he was receiving. The other possibility is that he just… stalled. He’s not going to confess to either one, though. He doesn’t confess error and he certainly wouldn’t confess his failing mind.

MAGA will come up with an excuse for him. They’ve already called it a dramatic pause for the music but there was nothing special about the music and there was nothing dramatic about the pause. He just looked lost. So first he makes them wait, then he glitches and won’t explain. He’s disrespecting his own base but they don’t care – and neither does he.

He needs their money and their votes but mostly their money. After that, he doesn’t want to hear from them…
