Thanks for breaking this story down, Jack. This is Really Bad, and looks like the beginning of the escalation of the War on Voting in the 2026/28 election. Absolutely No Good can come of This ‼️ and will reStack ASAP 🙏
Thank you, Karen...seriously. And, you’re reading it the right way: the danger isn’t just what they “find,” it’s what they’re trying to normalize for 2026/28.
If you restack, one line helps it travel beyond our usual circles: “Not 2020—this is about what they’ll try next.”
That frame snaps people out of the old argument and into the real one.
I totally agree. Stealing the 2026 mid terms keeps Trump in office. Stealing the 2028 election likely keeps Trump out of Jail. Since these are personal for Trump, he will do whatever he can get away with to keep control of the House and Senate. Jack does a great job of pointing out what we can do to keep the processes fair.
Every share/reStack...they absolutely get more eyes on this work, and based on the feedback I get...from many people just like you...I know this work is something people will get something out of...right now...in the time where we need it most.
If this is theatre, and it looks like they want to poison the 2026 and 2028 elections, we need to start digging, deep, into 2024. There are enough reports of smoke there may be fire, and if we can show even the hint of shenanigans in 2024, we can cut them off at the knees because no one will buy the shit they’re selling.
The smarter counter, I believe is receipts and process: demand predicate, chain-of-custody, logs, audits, court-tested evidence, and clear public reporting.
If there’s real misconduct...it will survive that standard. If it can’t..don’t help them normalize “elections are fake” as the baseline. That's the real danger with digging on the 2024 election.
Smart Elections has been working 2024 since the election. They know Kamala won, and they know how.
They have combined with others working on it.
Example: There are votes for Trump in counties that DON'T EXIST.
Hoping they will effectively make their case.
2015 @jennycohn1 knew that voting machines were connected to the internet. She said ES&S machines.
ES&S blamed DOMINION machines.
Later DOMINION sued ES&S and won.
Meantime we got Trump instead of Bernie. DMC made sure candidate was Hillary
Bernie filling stadiums 60,000, Hillary couldn't fill a high school gym. You didn't see it , but at D convention Bernie's delegates walked out, which left only a few delegates in front of Hillary.
People went through Bernie delegates and TOOK Bernie signs and gave them Hillary's.
Next time DNC wanted Biden.
Ah, well.
Biden was okay, but Bernie would have made a difference.
Thank you 💕💕for all you do, it has really made a difference.😊
The DNI is an intelligence coordinator, not a law enforcement officer. Showing up to ‘arrest’ anyone is outside their authority and raises serious questions about politicization and overreach.
This FBI raid in Fulton County isn’t happening in a vacuum — agents seized hundreds of 2020 ballots and election records under a sealed warrant amidst Trump’s ongoing claims about the 2020 election. Legal experts call this an extraordinary escalation, local leaders see it as intimidation, and the lack of transparency only fuels distrust.
This is completely absurd — someone obsessively trying to prove they ‘won’ an election that Georgia has repeatedly verified wasn’t theirs. The evidence is clear; the fixation is irrational.
Irrational behavior at this scale isn’t just political theater — it’s a societal problem. When leaders act against clear facts and institutional checks, it normalizes delusion, erodes trust, and sets a precedent for worse to come. Ignoring it doesn’t make it go away — it accelerates the decay
No matter what, I always appreciate your insight, Jack. You put an incredible amount of time and care into your work, and it really shows in the depth and substance of your writing
Theater. Every time! Will definitely send to my Rep. even though Mikey Johnson sent them all home. She’s one of the good ones-Mary Gay Scanlon. Also sending to Facebook where my maga-adjacent relatives will see it. Another action I am taking is dedicating the flowers at my church to all those killed by ICE. #HoldFast 👹
Rachel, YES. This is exactly how you turn “theater” into a liability: send it in writing...force a record...then widen the audience.
Even if Johnson sends them home...your Rep’s office STILL logs constituent contacts...and those logs matter.
Also...dedicating the church flowers is brilliant...quiet...public moral framing...that travels in a way arguments don’t. Post a photo with one line...and let your MAGA-adjacent relatives sit with it.
And...you’re right: don’t call yourselves “protesters.” Call it what it is: witnesses...monitors...community defenders.
Great question, Anna...and the key word is “may,” not “must.”
Federal law requires election officials to retain and preserve federal-election records for 22 months.
Georgia law says primary/election documents must be preserved at least 24 months...and then they may be destroyed...unless otherwise provided by law.
Two big reasons records can still exist years later:
Litigation/investigations/records requests can trigger “don’t destroy” preservation holds.
Counties often keep materials longer under records-retention schedules or for administrative/archival reasons...especially after a high-profile election.
So...yes...there are minimum timelines...BUT...there’s no automatic shredder at month 23/25. There is not.
So I’m going for Theater. Seems like a safe bet with the current regime. I suspect Tulsi was added to make it look double secret probation special, add to the theater aspect.
I don’t trust a single one of them any further than I could pick up a mountain and throw it. That said, it’s really interesting to me how the regime is ramping things up. I don’t know if it’s to distract from the Epstein files or because t seems to be declining fast and they want as much of P2025 in place as possible in case JD has to take over or…… certainly is an interesting time.
Thanks, Jack. You bring it every time. I’ve restacked this with your note and added ‘Important read’.
Deb, that’s a sharp read. The DNI on scene is exactly the kind of “double secret” prop... that makes a domestic action feel like a national-security event...without providing national-security receipts.
On motives (distraction vs “install it fast”), we can’t know yet...but we can watch the tells: do they stay vague on the predicate...do they pivot to prosecutions of officials/procedures...and do they use the imagery to pre-poison 2026/28.
And...thank you for the restack + “Important read.” That’s how this breaks containment.
Performative THEATER . . .with a no-talent/no-brain/no-grasping reality really terrible no-talent show. This is the dry-run to see "how it'll play in Poughkeepsie."
Meriby, “How it plays in Poughkeepsie” is exactly the point.
The raid is an optics test...can they launder insinuation through official imagery and get people to swallow “proof is coming.”
So...yes: pan the performance...but don’t stop at mockery. Demand receipts: predicate... chain of custody...oversight briefings...and a written timeline. That’s how you turn theater into a liability.
Dr. R, that’s not half facetious...that’s accurate. They’re different kinds of danger.
FOREIGN is frightening because it’s the “trust us, we can’t tell you” lane...classified fog that can justify extraordinary moves.
THEATER is frightening because it’s scalable...optics that manufacture belief and permission...even without proof.
So...the antidote to both is the same: Receipts. Name the predicate. Show the paper trail. Brief Congress. Put timelines in writing.
I know, those things don't feel "hot" enough, or that they project enough energy to matter right now. That's the trap. Because...as of this moment...they're still the most effective tools we have, without playing right into his hands...and instantly making things much, much worse.
Jan, I feel that...“good grief, 2020?!” The point isn’t to learn something new. It’s to keep the story useful: distract...flood the zone...and manufacture “permission” for tougher moves later.
So...yes...it’s worrisome even if it’s theater. That’s why we stick to receipts: predicate... chain of custody...oversight...timelines...in writing.
If I sound like a broken record...good. Because the most effective tools we have to work with...Have. Not. Changed.

I get the instinct, Scott. I damn sure do.

This isn’t about 2020. It’s about what comes next.

Why are these records still available? Aren't they supposed to be destroyed after a certain period of time?
Great question, Anna...and the key word is “may,” not “must.”

If it felt actually legit, I’d say foreign.
So I’m going for Theater. Seems like a safe bet with the current regime. I suspect Tulsi was added to make it look double secret probation special, add to the theater aspect.

Come on...too easy. It's Trump theater. That's all he cares about. Optics.
Coco...when people show up...like you just did....it MATTERS.

THEATER
This admin has so thoroughly screwed up international relations that an international problem won’t be recognized.
Yeah, Patty...our international relations...are pretty damn un-relatable, now.
You showed up. That's significant, Patty. Thank you.
-Jack
FOREIGN vs THEATER
Which is more worrisome/frightening to me - depends upon the time of day.
Only half facetious - I can't really say which of the two evils seems more ominous.
Dr. R, that’s not half facetious...that’s accurate. They’re different kinds of danger.
FOREIGN is frightening because it’s the “trust us, we can’t tell you” lane...classified fog that can justify extraordinary moves.

Thank you for being here.
-Jack
Theater. With Trump it is always theatre.
Mary Stone...I appreciate you showing up. It matters. It really does.
-Jack
Theater. More distraction from the Epstein files. Not that it makes it less worrisome. It's just that good grief! 2020! When will it end?!?
Jan, I feel that...“good grief, 2020?!” The point isn’t to learn something new. It’s to keep the story useful: distract...flood the zone...and manufacture “permission” for tougher moves later.
So...yes...it’s worrisome even if it’s theater. That’s why we stick to receipts: predicate... chain of custody...oversight...timelines...in writing.
