Ron Filipkowski has a warning for us about trump's speech Thursday

This will be perhaps the most insane address to the nation that has ever been given by an American president.

Short and to the point. But in case you haven't heard, he is going to try to claim that Ossoff and Warnock were both elected illegitimately, among other things.

This is not normal, folks. And it will be a test for the corporate media, among other guardrails of our Democracy. And speaking of Democracies, the time for "keeping it" is here.

Wish it was tomorrow just so it could be over with sooner and the fact checking and ridicule can start. I won't be watching however.

With a special on the 2020 Georgia election and all the court cases that were lost. Also play the phone call to find him 11,000 votes. Let the public know they seized all the ballots a few months back and Georgia can't get them back to prove he is lying

Not to mention losing the war he claimed to have won on the first day. Also the pool whose lining was not cut but probably was hurried to be finished for the 4th and did not have a chance to dry properly.

There’s not diddlyshit he can do about it and can cry and pull his Pisswig off , and it doesn’t mean squat

He has NO SAYSO about elections .

Warnock was reelected in 2022. Trump is claiming the 2020 election to be illegitimate. Therefore, even if Trump's idiotic claims about fraud in 2020 were true (they're not), Warnock's election would still be legitimate.

To be clear, both Georgia Senators are legit (Georgia certified their election results - case closed), just pointing out that Trump's claims don't even comport with basic logic.

He'd be willing to start a nuclear war to cancel the mid-terms.

What makes them think that six years later they can show proof that the Georgia Senators were elected illegitimately? Idiots. The hatefull @$$h0!3$ will believe it just because they're shitty racists.

They won’t even try. They’ll just declare it true and hope for the rubes to buy it. See: reflecting pool, Sandwich guy, ICE lawlessness, etcetera to forever.

The remaining question is how far will they go to appease this madman.
