As Jennifer Rubin explains, the reason Trump's ratcheting up the diversionary fits — the FBI raid in Georgia, arresting Don Lemon, etc. — even as he refuses de-escalation in Minnesota is that he's caught between a rock and a hard place.

MAGA is driven by theocratic fury fed by white supremacy. MAGA wants the assaults on immigrants.

"The actual physical seizure of a state’s voting materials was a Rubicon we hoped Trump would not dare cross. But here we are, and it’s only January."

"Donald Trump is enormously dangerous. And we would be fools to look at a small rhetorical retreat from the horrors of his armed occupation in Minneapolis as a victory that will last."

Judge Eric Davis ruled earlier that #Newsmax did indeed #defame Denver-based #DominionVotingSystems by airing false information [ #lies] about the company & its equipment. But Davis left it to a #jury to eventually decide whether that was done with #malice, &, if so, how much #Dominion deserved from Newsmax in #damages. Newsmax & Dominion reached the settlement before the trial could take place.
The settlement was disclosed by Newsmax on Monday in a new filing with the #SEC.

The settlement comes after #FoxNews paid $787.5M to settle a similar #defamation lawsuit in 2023 & #Newsmax paid what court papers describe as $40M to settle a #libel lawsuit from a different voting machine manufacturer, #Smartmatic, which also was a target of pro-Trump #ConspiracyTheories on the network.

#Newsmax agrees to pay $67M settlement in #defamation case over #2020election lies

The conservative network Newsmax will pay $67 million to settle a lawsuit accusing it of defaming a voting equipment company by spreading #lies about #Trump’s 2020 election loss, acc/to documents filed Monday.

The disclosure came as #Trump vowed in a social media post Monday to eliminate #MailinBallots & #VotingMachines such as those supplied by #Dominion & other companies. It was unclear how Trump could [legally] achieve that.

Total moron

#Trump said on Monday that he would lead a movement to eliminate #MailinBallots & would sign an #ExecutiveOrder to “help bring HONESTY to the 2026 Midterm Elections.” Trump has long opposed mail-in voting & said it was a source of fraud during the 2020 election, though his AG at that time said that his assertions of widespread fraud couldn’t be proven.

Trump’s latest comments came after he said that President Vladimir #Putin of #Russia had discussed the issue during their summit on Friday in Alaska. #Trump said in an interview with FauxNews that the Russian leader had agreed with him that the 2020 election had been rigged in favor of Biden. “He said, ‘Your election was rigged because you have mail-in voting,’” Trump quoted Putin as saying.

[cuz Russia is a model for free & fair elections 🤦🏼‍♀️]
