Is this a distraction to distract from the quagmire he started to distract from the Trump-Epstein files?

Yeah, by Russia, to install Pumpkinhead.
It's ALWAYS the republicans cheating. If they're not cheating, lying, or raping, then they're projecting about one of those things.
They're gonna say it was Ukraine. Lindsey was going to whistleblow the whole thing and that's why he needed to die.
/tinfoil hat
Remove the pedophile traitor who already tried to overthrow the U.S. once.
With this?
Honestly asking.
Can’t comment on that or ice will burst through my door and shoot me.
What this fucker needs to do... well besides that... is to release all the files and prove 1) that he had that fuckwit muskrat to steal the election and 2) release the trumpstein files.
Hey y'all, let's hear what this felon rapist pedophile has to say.
He finally going to confess he cheated to win?
Ignoring the fact that he already did and nothing was done about it
He's going to brag about it.
Americans are at the stage where they will do nothing and be happy (by threat of death).
Just more lies from the shittiest President in the past 100 years.
In this case he's almost telling the truth. It's just that election was rigged by and for him with the help of Russia. There's a very clear Russian Tail on all three elections he was involved in.
Someone tell him the intel shows he's the one who facilitated him and the foreign country is Russia.
Fucking clown show.
I would laugh so hard if OpenAI or Claude came out after this was released and they said it had their fingerprints all over it, and after looking up the prompts they were used to help fabricate it all.
They're that dumb, it's totally possible.
Except the techbros have their faces full of rectoplasm after years of brownnosing this administration
Claude did back out contracts over a disagreement on military use and the government try to blacklist them, so you never know they might speak up if they were flat out lying to the people like that and they saw the fingerprints.
What kind of drugs can keep that demented sack of shit upright until 9 pm?
He has plenty of chances in his day to nap.

"A foreign nation." I guarantee that no foreign nation was interfering to get Biden elected.
I mean I would’ve appreciated it if one of our allies did
he will announce that as of Friday all elections are illegal if a republican didn't win.....
Wonder how long he'd live. He's probably having congestive heart failure, but would people go after his kids and family? What about JD's?
Let me guess? It was Greenland, all along!! Now they'll definitely have to annex them, just to stop the voter fraud!! Then, they'll discover Canada was in on it, and invade them next.
Denmark will cut off trade with the Untied States and Trump will be defeated by a horde of angry LEGO fans
Based on how Iran is going, I think Canada would kick our asses.
Remember that Greenland is still a Danish protectorate, so we'd be getting into a shooting match with the entire EU, more than likely.

Nobody in this country, or the world, believes a damn thing he has to say. It's all pure bullshit, spewed from the shit-invested walls of his decaying cranium.
That's not true. Something like 40% of the US population believes every word he says, no matter what.
That's what kills me the most. It's completely shaken my belief that people are anything more than stupid scared animals in a herd.
They will use this to force the SAVE act as an emergency measure.
It's their last try to shove this up our asses.

It's like listening to Rumsfeld swear the middle east is dangerous. No shit Sherlock, you did that lol
I would be more surprised if countries like Russia, Iran, and the DPRK didn't have plans to try and interfere in US elections. Now, can he provide evidence that those plans actually went into effect and had a material outcome on the election? Because that's what really matters. I can make elaborate plans to create cold fusion. But small issues like entropy mean those plans don't count for shit.

*on his behalf
This is how he keeps his psychotic cult riled up for midterms: give them a conspiracy to hold onto until time to vote. Then if it doesn’t go his way, we get another J6.
So we all know what he's going to claim now right? We're going to keep pretending after that, America?
So he will claim that elections are suspended this year to combat fraud. The illegal fraud he is perpetrating on the USA. Don the Con, we got your number you complete fucking idiot.

President Donald Trump plans to claim in a Thursday night speech that newly declassified intelligence reports reveal a foreign nation’s plans to interfere in the 2020 presidential election, two White House officials told MS NOW on Monday.
No shit there were plans. Russia and China plan to interfere with every election the US has. The real question is if there is proof that they were successful.
Just saying there are plans is meaningless, but Trump and his toadies will trumpet this like his election denialism is actually justified. Utter and complete clown show.
Russia and China plan to interfere with every election the US has.
*on his behalf.
Gabbard did her part, setting the stage and stealing every state secret for ruzzia she could and then got the fuck out
Trump will be joined by officials including CIA Director John Ratcliffe, acting Director of National Intelligence Bill Pulte, FBI Director Kash Patel and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, according to one of the officials, who were granted anonymity to discuss the internal plans, MS NOW reported.
Inspires utmost confidence, if you don't have properly functional gray matter.
Mueller report reported a similar thing. But this poor snowflake was in office so they postponed it... Never heard of again. Buried under the Epstein files. Also never heard of again. Because buried.... etc.

I 100% support voting, but we are at a point where that isn't enough and not enough people have realized or accepted that.
The midterms will not bring respite - I'm happy to be wrong.
Trump "proclaiming" reminds me of that hoary old cripple who lied in every breath from that popular poem from the olden times.
