After lying and cheating, after taking the country close to the abyss, after mobilizing all the violent white christian racists of the country who were morons enough to believe the "Steal", the convicted dumb felon Donald Trump now says he did lose in 2020.
It might on advice of his many attorneys, now that his trials in court are looming again, that he should admit his loss in 2020 so that his sentence be reduced. How pathetically transparent. It might be so he looks "moderate" and get some independents to vote for him. But after a decade of mayhem and chaos, his last minute chameleonic metamorphoses won't convince many Americans who have tired of the moron taking the American people for idiots.
I hope his blind followers now see the light and dump him this November. He cheated them and used them for his own benefit, and now he's backing down. They have been going to jail because of him, and now he is throwing them under the bus. What fools. This is the riff-raff that wants to Make America Great Again. But America doesn't need them.
And one word for his Lebanese-American Maronite morons who love him: He lies to you being a Christian and wanting to protect Lebanon.
What did he do for Lebanon between 2016 and 2020 when the idiot Walid Phares and his associates like Atef (Tom) Harb and others pretended to be Trump's advisors on the Middle East? Read all the way down about the ghost Antifa because Harb parroted Trump's claim that it was leftwing Antifa that invaded the Capitol on January 6, 2021. What a disgrace to Lebanon when idiots speak on its behalf in the US.
For 4 years, Trump did nothing for Lebanon which kept sinking while Donald Trump was giving everything to Benjamin Netanyahu. The history of Republican administrations' policies on Lebanon can be summarized by ONGOING TREASON AND BACKSTABBING:
1- From Reagan who fled after Hezbollah, Syria and Iran killed 241 US Marines in 1983 and who sold weapons to Iran in exchange for the US hostages in Iran in 1979-1980.
2- and again to Reagan who kept selling weapons to Iran to get Hezbollah and Syria to release the western hostages seized by Hezbollah in Beirut throughout the 1980s.
3- to George HW Bush who sold Lebanon to Syria in 1988-1990 in order to join forces with the butcher of Damascus against Lebanon's Christians and impose on them a full and brutal Syrian occupation.
4- to George W Bush who, after 9-11, promised he will work with the peoples of countries and not with the dictators. Yet, he made a deal with the same warlords who massacred their own people in Lebanon and kept them in power, which has led Lebanon down the road to disintegration.
The Republicans don't like Lebanon. They are fanatic Protestants who never liked the Catholic Christians of Lebanon. All that the Republicans care about is Zionist Israel which stands ready as we speak to invade Lebanon and annex its territories south of the Litani, including Tyre and Sidon. Yeah, go ahead, vote for the moron Donald Trump.

Trump admits he lost in 2020, leading white nationalist Nick Fuentes to disavow him

Updated Fri, September 6, 2024
Former President Donald Trump's recent acknowledgment that he lost the 2020 election has rattled prominent far-right figures, with some saying they will lead a campaign to keep him from being elected in 2024.
At least three times in recent weeks Trump, the 2024 Republican party nominee, has acknowledged that he lost in 2020 "by a whisker."
"He beat us by a whisker. It was a terrible thing," Trump said of President Joe Biden during a 45 minute interview Aug. 4 with podcaster Lex Fridman. He used similar language at an Aug. 30 Moms for Liberty summit and an Aug. 23 press event at the Southern border.
Despite frequently and falsely claiming that he actually won the election and making the issue a central point of his 2024 bid, Trump has occasionally over the last few years admitted that he lost. Trump lost the popular vote to Biden by 7 million votes and the Electoral College by 74 electoral votes. His effort to overturn the election culminated in Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters hoping to stop the certification of his defeat.
Supporters of US President Donald Trump enter the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington, DC.
The reaction to Trump's most recent comments from some far-right activists and influencers has been unusually stark.
White nationalist Nick Fuentes blasted Trump Sept. 4 for admitting that he lost the 2020 election, and said that he will work to get voters not to back Trump.
"So, why did we do Stop the Steal? Why did did anyone go to Jan. 6? Why did any one go to jail? ... It would have been good to know that before 1,600 people got charged," Fuentes said on his podcast, referring to the criminal charges for those who invaded and ransacked the Capitol. "It would’ve been good to know that before (I) had all my money frozen, put on a no-fly list, banned from everything, lost all my bank and payment processing.”
Fuentes, a podcaster and Holocaust denier who dined with Trump and the notorious rapper Ye at Mar-a-Lago property in Palm Beach, Fla., in 2022 went on to call it a "tremendous betrayal" and "callus indifference to the sacrifices that his supporters made on his behalf."
Divided right as Trump pursues moderate voters
Losing Fuentes and other far-right influencers and media personalities could have a serious impact. The Trump campaign has long relied on those in the hard-right media eco-system to amplify political messages to their audiences of Trump's most ardent supporters.
The Trump campaign declined to comment for this article.
Colin Henry, a researcher at George Washington University who studies the role of the internet in political violence, said he's seen a decline in support for Trump in far-right communities in the last several months.
"At first it was just like, they're mad about the tactics the campaign is using. But now it feels like there's blood in the water, right? And the fringe senses this opportunity to take back more control (of) the movement," Henry said.
He said white supremacist groups haven't always seen Trump as "their guy," but rather as a vehicle for their views, and their initial enthusiasm for him has been waning.
"They all seem kind of ready to move on," Henry said. "Their support is pretty contingent on him delivering some of the more extremist ideological goals."
This isn't the first time hard-right provocateurs have criticized how Trump is positioning himself in the general election, a time when he will have to gain support from more than just his most dedicated supporters in order to win back the White House.
A month ago − after the Republican National Convention − Fuentes refused to endorse Trump for reelection. He also said on his podcast that he plans sustained opposition to Trump, including a press conference in Michigan in mid-September, "counter-programming" during a Trump or Vance rally and other actions to pressure the Trump campaign.
Far-right activist Laura Loomer posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, that Trump's approach “needs to change FAST because we can’t talk about a stolen election for another 4 years.” She also called his surrogates "weak" and said his momentum is being suppressed.
In a podcast, far-right personality Candace Owens said the infighting a “MAGA Civil War” is spurred by anger that Trump's campaign has softened his policies and persona to boost his mainstream appeal.
Trump has flailed back and forth on his position on abortion bans recently, drawing rebukes from anti-abortion rights activists.
But Owens stressed that she will still support him.
"I’m just not sure who is driving the MAGA bus anymore,” she said, stressing that her issue is with Trump's staff, not the former president. “You’re losing that support from the people that believed in you. … You need those people. That is your base. You can't suddenly change who your base is think that that is going to be a successful strategy here.”

The conservative activist Joe Oltmann fined $1,000 a day until he discloses evidence to court
Fernando Cervantes Jr., USA TODAY
Fri, September 6, 2024
Colorado conservative activist Joe Oltmann owes a former Dominion Voting Systems employee $1,000 a day, starting Wednesday, for as long as he continues to withhold evidence of his claims of election rigging.
Oltmann is named as a non-party in a defamation suit filed by Eric Coomer, who was the former director of product security and strategy for Dominion Voting Systems. Apart from this filing, Coomer is suing Oltmann in a defamation and conspiracy lawsuit for claims he made back in 2020.
These claims, made almost four years ago, came in the days following the 2020 election between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.
USA TODAY contacted Oltmann for comment, who did not immediately respond.
An “Antifa conference call”
According to court documents, Oltmann made claims in November 2020 that he heard an “Antifa conference call” where an employee of Dominion Voting Systems suggested the election was rigged in Biden’s favor.
Despite being subpoenaed back in February, Oltmann has yet to provide any evidence to back up the 2020 accusation.
Court documents say that Oltmann has repeatedly refused to submit evidence to the court, the evidence he has not handed over related to communications with a person only known as “RD” in records who Oltmann claims gave him access to the “Antifa call.”
Oltmann has also refused to give up the identity of the person who gave him access to Coomer’s private Facebook account.
In a deposition held June 6, Oltmann was asked to appear at a deposition by the U.S. Magistrate Judge Kathryn A. Starnella.
According to court documents, Oltmann left the courthouse during the deposition and is now facing the expensive repercussions.
An expensive ordeal
On Wednesday, the judge in the case, William J. Martinez, ordered that Oltmann has to pay the attorney’s fees and costs that Coomer incurred as a result of the noncompliance with the judge’s orders to present evidence against Oltmann.
Apart from these fines, court records show that Oltmann also has to pay Coomer $1,000 a day beginning Wednesday until he complies with the orders “fully and in good faith.” Initially, a fine of only $300 a day was suggested, but the court decided that this “will not likely get Oltmann’s full and complete attention.”
“Oltmann has repeatedly flouted orders—not only in this case, but in others as well—requiring him to answer questions pertaining to who gave him access to the alleged 'Antifa call' and Coomer’s private Facebook account,” according to court records.
The court also said that apart from ignoring court orders, Oltmann boasted about it on his podcast. The show, a far-right daily talk show focused on election rigging claims, has also featured Oltmann repeatedly suggesting that his perceived political opponents should be executed.
“Oltmann explicitly acknowledged during his deposition and his podcast later that day that he knew about the orders but refused to comply with them, even though he was aware he might be jailed for his noncompliance,” court documents say.
According to court documents, Oltmann called the orders from the court “lawfare” and “weapon[ized].”
Apart from this lawsuit, Coomer has also sued Donald J. Trump for President, Inc., One America News Network (OANN), Newsmax Media, the attorneys Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani and the conservative political commentator Michelle Malkin for defamation.

Oltmann is a conservative podcaster and political activist based in the Colorado area. He has been involved in recent years with FEC United, a political organization that has been involved in the "Stop the Steal" campaign regarding falsehoods that Trump won the 2020 election.
In these efforts, he was also involved in the 2022 elections, when he among other conservative activists stated a protest outside the Arizona State Capitol in Phoenix to protest the results of the midterm elections. Apart from these, also in Arizona, he staged a protest against the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, and spoke against the certification of the results in the county.
Maricopa County is the largest county in Arizona and within its borders is Phoenix, the largest city in the state with the largest vote share in the state.
