Editor MDB: Our friend and collaborator AZBlueMeanie hasn’t been posting lately due to family duties she or he must focus on to the exclusion of pretty much anything else, but we are regularly in touch about what faces he or she would like to stomp! I will occasionally post about those stompings she or he is most passionate about. Here’s one of their latest, note the BOLD text is what is personally emphasized by AZBlueMeanie.
“This lawsuit seeks to restore public trust in our State’s electoral system by holding the Defendants accountable for their failures and to ensure that the list maintenance required by the law—and common sense—is performed,” the lawsuit reads.
It is illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections – and it is something that rarely happens. According to Arizona law, if voters register to vote with federal registration forms, they do not need to provide documentary proof of citizenship. Election officials, however, are required to reject state voter registration forms if voters using them do not provide documentary proof of citizenship. The lawsuit argues that because voters don’t need proof of citizenship when using federal forms to register, non-citizens are able to register to vote in Arizona.
“America First Legal will do everything in its power to fight mass illegal alien voting and foreign interference in our democracy,” Miller said in a statement (Ed. i.e. a shockingly dishonest pack of lies…)
In July, America First Legal sent letters to the 15 Arizona counties, threatening them with legal action if they did not take action to remove supposed non-citizens from the voter rolls, without providing evidence that non-citizens are on the rolls.
Trump and his allies have been elevating the myth of non-citizen voting for months, creating distrust in the election system and setting up a scenario where Trump and his allies have something to blame if they lose in the fall.
“It is feeding the disinformation that this is a problem, which obviously has become a talking point of the Trump campaign and frankly other political campaigns,” Alice Clapman, senior counsel in the Brennan Center’s Voting Rights Program, previously told TPM.
Ed. MDB – Also sticking in AZBlueMeanie’s craw is the analysis of Trump’s postponed sentencing in the ‘Hush Money’ fraud case by Karl Rove (who has proven to be surprisingly Trump-skeptical this cycle, though now the Cheneys have endorsed Harris/Walz, maybe Turd Blossom’s view is not so surprising…):
“Voters will go to the polls in November without resolution in any of the four criminal cases against the former president and Republican presidential nominee. A judge’s decision Friday in New York to postpone Trump’s sentencing for his criminal conviction in the hush money case until Nov. 26 was the last domino to fall. But for months, Trump has been rattling off unlikely legal victories — sometimes aided by his own appointees to the bench — and outmaneuvering federal and state prosecutors who pushed for quick trials.”
“It’s an outcome his supporters have often described as drawing to an ‘inside straight’: a calculated gamble to delay his criminal cases at all costs to ensure that he avoids accountability from the courts during his bid to reclaim the White House. But he’ll have to wait until November to see if the gamble pays off.”
Ed. MDB: Next, Meanie goes off on Trump’s trashing of his female accusers. The final quote is Meanie’s own words:
“If any voters had forgotten that Donald Trump was accused by multiple women of sexual misconduct, he spent roughly 45 minutes reminding them on Friday, eight weeks before Election Day,” the New York Times reports.
“At a lectern in the lobby of Trump Tower, Mr. Trump, flanked by seven of his lawyers, laid out years-old allegations from the women in detail as he denied that they were telling the truth. He had just attended a federal appeals court hearing related to a civil case in which he was found liable of sexually abusing and defaming a New York writer, E. Jean Carroll, decades earlier. Mr. Trump was not required to attend the hearing, but decided he wanted to.”
“Spoken like a true sexual predator.”

Ed. MDB: Finally, Meanie blasts North Carolina’s FOP (and a few other police orgs) for their cynical and bullshitty endorsement of Trump:
Donald Trump accepted a key endorsement from one of the nation’s most influential law enforcement lobbies on Friday by offering a sweeping indictment of the U.S. legal system that has convicted him of almost three dozen felony counts and indicted him in three other pending cases
Fraternal Order of Police convention in the battleground state of North Carolina was billed as a way for Trump to pitch himself as a law-and-order figure and cast his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, a former prosecutor and California attorney general, as weak.
But in between remarks about crime and law enforcement, the former president and Republican nominee celebrated a New York judge’s decision earlier in the day to postpone his sentencing on 34 felony counts in a business fraud case until after Election Day. He repeated his false assertions that the U.S. election system is rife with massive voter fraud and that his 2020 defeat was rigged — arguments rejected in dozens of state and federal courts. He promised to crack down on “Marxist prosecutors,” and he seemed to suggest that domestic police forces could more actively prevent voter fraud because people are scared of them.
Trump’s latest broadsides and untruths also underscored the unusual circumstances of a national law enforcement group embracing a political leader who has repeatedly denigrated U.S. institutions and championed a mob of his supporters who assaulted law enforcement officers at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 — a siege at the core of Trump’s continuing legal peril as he attempts a comeback bid.
Patrick Yoes, the FOP’s national president, said Trump had tamped down the “defund the police” movement and supported law enforcement in the summer of 2020 during nationwide protests against police brutality after the murder of George Floyd.
“During his time in the White House, we had a partner and a leader,” Yoes said. “We have your back.”
…
Trump pledged unyielding support for police, including expanded use of force: “We have to get back to power and respect.”
And he seemingly encouraged police to use their power in the upcoming election to “watch for voter fraud,”which is rare in the United States despite his insistence to the contrary.
“I hope you as the greatest people … watch for voter fraud,” he said. “I hope you can watch and you’re all over the place. Watch for the voter fraud. Because we win. Without voter fraud, we win so easily. Hopefully, we’re going to win anyway. But we want to keep it down. You can keep it down just by watching. Because believe it or not, they’re afraid of that badge. They’re afraid of you people.”
[T]he Harris campaign also issued a letter signed by more than 100 law enforcement officials across the country, lauding Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, as “the only candidates we trust to keep our communities safe” and arguing that Trump “will sow chaos, defund critical law enforcement agencies, and put all Americans at risk.”
The FOP joins other police groups that have already lined up behind Trump, including the National Association of Police Organizations and International Union of Police Associations.
Trump’s support from law officers also butts up against sympathies he has shown for those who have defied the orders of police, including his pledge to pardon those charged with beating officers during the Capitol siege.
Judges and juries considering those cases have heard police officers describe being savagely attacked while defending the building. All told, about 140 officers were injured that day, making it “likely the largest single day mass assault of law enforcement” in American history, Matthew Graves, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, has said.
Trump’s misrepresentation of what happened did not concern his ardent supporters gathered in Charlotte.
Finally, we have a quote from Dick (Vader) Cheney on said swamp:
“In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump. He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him. He can never be trusted with power again.”

If someone believes that everyone is only looking out for themselves and that working to improve the lives of normal people is “extreme”, then Cheeto is their more ‘centrist’ candidate.
I, and most Americans, don’t agree with that.
You do share one trait with Cheeto – you both exhibit a predilection toward personal attacks on opposing candidates.

And in spite of this, the latest N.Y. Times/Siena poll shows voters view Trump as the more centrist candidate and Harris as too extreme. But hey, even though she has done 180s on major positions, her values have not changed. 😕

Gosh John, Don-Old Rapist/Felon Trump has never done a 180, has he!
And he’s never just made up stuff, has he!
He was pro-choice, then he was not pro-choice, then he wanted to lock up women and doctors, now he says he’s okay with abortion if the states say it’s okay….so he’s pro life but only in Alabama?
I can’t figure it out myself, but I don’t have a very big ah-brain, as Don-Old says.
FYI, your Lord and Savior Don-Old J Trump says the polls are made up lies, so which is it?
I’m really starting to think you wasted your money on that Trump University degree and should have gone to a good trade school instead.

Hey John, serious question.
How come you never give us a reason to vote for your guy?
You just parrot the typical angertainment media stuff.
I suspect it’s because you know that the economy, the deficit, the debt, and employment, are all better when Dems are running things, but there’s some people in the country that you don’t like and want gone, so you don’t care about the economy, or deficit, or if people have jobs.
Why should we vote for Don-Old? Please show your work.
