NEWS
As a new authoritarian movement rises in American politics, stoked by one of the country’s most outrageous demagogues, there is an all-out international manhunt for an American traitor. The U.S. Army’s Nazi war crimes trials in Germany have been infiltrated by a spy -- a mole for the other side. A gruesome foreign influence operation unfolds in Washington. A blackmail plot turns deadly in the U.S. Senate. A Hail Mary scheme to stop the counting of the Electoral College votes rattles democracy’s cage. With the line between the violent ultra-right and mainstream American politics fraying beyond recognition, with the FBI always one step behind their quarry, Americans of all stripes step up to confront a seemingly unstoppable, ascendant, anti-democratic force.

Many ask why. It seems simple. They are just like him. They don’t want to work. They think they are entitled to just about everything. They lie about their worth and strengths. It’s always somebody else’s fault. They want no responsibility. They want to play with their toys. They act like teenagers. Who does that sound like. He is their idol. Simple. The responsible grownups will vote for Harris and her ticket. You can’t win them over.

On The Beat last Week—We had the opportunity hear from Amb Sondland/Navarro/Matthews…then Journalist Chris Wallace—both highlighted voting discrepancies in the 1960 Election….possibly Navarro thought He was Mazo(?) Navarro wrote what was a predetermative coup—“ Mazo who helped to publicize the idea that voter fraud cost Nixon the election, and that Republican officials pursued recounts and investigations in 11 states. In the end, Nixon wound up losing the state of Hawaii to Kennedy after the recounts”…..The conclusion was that Nixon bowed-out for “the sake of the Country/Constitution” He also knew that the “discrepancies were NOT WIDE ENOUGH to decide the Election” I LOVE LEARNING NEW THINGS—THE BEAT HAS LAYERS, KIDS!
