Dispatches From the Swamp

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, these words paint a hell of a picture.

Talking Points Memo released a series of articles this week highlighting the more than 2,000 text message supplied by Mark Meadows, former chief of staff for twice-impeached, disgraced former president Donald Trump, to the Jan. 6 Committee.

These texts reveal the sometimes frantic communications between the White House and various members of Congress desperate to see the 2020 election overturned so Trump could stay in the White House after his defeat at the hands of Joe Biden.

They also reveal the corruption, insanity and lies at the heart of Trump’s Big Lie of election fraud.

Here are the links to the TPM stories that report about specific texts. The site published some related stories, also. I’d encourage you to read them and share them with as many people as you can.

Americans have to understand what was going on behind the scenes of what would have been the crown jewel of the Trump/GOP criminal enterprise: the shredding of our constitution and the end of our democracy.

And if you think Republicans wouldn’t try to do this again in 2024 then you’re sorely mistaken.

About Rick Elia

Rick Elia wrote for a newspaper for over 20 years, until he stopped doing that. After that he did some (mostly perfectly legal) stuff we don’t want to talk about. He started writing Facebook posts as therapy for the trauma of the 2016 presidential election. One day he came up with the idea of putting his writings into a blog. So he did.
