  1. Two PACs received all of their money from the Conservative Americans PAC. They used their money to try to nominate weaker Democrats. Their suckers won twice but their other three suckers lost in the primary elections:

    The three Democratic Party winners who Republicans are afraid of are Rebecca Bennett (New Jersey), Bob Brooks (Pennsylvania), and Johnny Garcia (Texas).

  2. Who's flinging mud at Democratic Party candidate for Maine governor Graham Platner?

    Would it surprise you to know that it's an operative for a shady MAGA dirty tricks organization?
    "The star witness in the New York Times' big exposé on Graham Platner spent the fall of 2018 co-founding a group called Ladies for Kavanaugh and publicly branding Christine Blasey Ford's sexual assault account "baseless." The Times ran her story across its front page and never mentioned that part.

    Her name is Lyndsey Fifield. She is not a random ex who came forward.

    She is a career conservative operative whose longest job was at the Heritage Foundation, the shop that authored Project 2025.

    She later did digital marketing for Nikki Haley and is now a fellow at the Independent Women's Forum, the same outfit that handed Susan Collins her talking points for confirming Kavanaugh in the first place.

    In 2018 she called the women accusing Kavanaugh liars and said she wanted those allegations to follow his accuser for life. In 2026 she would like to be believed without question.

  7. CW: USpol; Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC is under investigation for fraud

    It claimed it would help people register to vote, but instead just stores their personal data. Michigan's secretary of state is investigating Musk's "America PAC".

  8. @WastelandWandrr They will have something already teed up. AI sex tape maybe, or email that suggests corruption or family member with a skeleton in the closet. Count on it. #dirtytricks

  10. "In Germany, farmers used the exact same tactic, blocking roads with their tractors to protest a renewable energy policy...Not a single farmer was punched in the face or dragged off the road by their hair"

    Meet the Shadowy Network Vilifying Climate Protestors

    desmog.com/2023/09/12/atlas-ne

    Earlier this year, news footage began making the rounds on social media of young activists from the German climate organization Letzte Generation (Last Generation) being assaulted by their fellow citizens as they obstructed streets in an effort to draw attention to the German government’s inaction on climate. A young woman, with her hand glued to a road was ripped off the road by her hair; a young man was run over by a truck driver; a passerby punched the protestors and was cheered on. A few months later, German police raided the homes of Last Generation activists and seized their bank accounts.

    It all seemed like a gross overreaction to a pretty tame form of protest…

  11. Intelligence Warfare

    youtube.com/watch?v=WP4jRwaE1J.

    On this day in 1947, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was formed by US President Harry Truman, primarily as the secret intelligence arm of US domestic and foreign anti-communist warfare. The CIA rapidly developed into one of the biggest threats to democracy and human rights, sponsoring coups and right-wing dictatorships in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. In the words of the former CIA director Mike Pompeo, "We lied, we cheated, we stole." Watch Ollie Vargas explain why arch-British imperialist Winston Churchill was a keen supporter of the establishment of the CIA.

    QOTCA, did you know #RogerStone orchestrated that "riot"? I didn't know about that until Stone was in the spotlight in 2016 for being a Trump advisor. Never trust a man with a Nixon tattoo on his back. #DirtyTricks

  13. These #Trump people are so #pathetic. They're just planning their #dirtyTricks right out in the open, and advertising their #badFaith to anyone with an internet connection. They truly are the gang who couldn't shoot straight.

  15. Giuliani bragging about one of the #DirtyTricks suppressing Hispanic votes --that he used in his campaigns...

  16. "His experience felt increasingly surreal: he was witnessing his own downfall through the eyes of the man who had caused it...He was outraged that one of #Washington’s closest #Arab allies could #spying on and defame #Muslim citizens and civic associations in Western democracies."

    This is one weird, twisting, LeCarre-esque read, except its not fiction.
