The GOP’s “Election Integrity” Lawyer Was Just Indicted for Election Subversion

The attorney, Christina Bobb running the Republican National Committee’s “election integrity” effort has been criminally charged by the state of Arizona for her efforts to help Donald Trump steal the 2020 election. This turn of events highlights the Orwellian meaning of the phrase “election integrity,” as used by Trump and the Republican Party: An effort to win at all costs.

We sacrificed honesty and trust decades ago on the altar of wealth worship

We've been fighting this battle since before time was AD and BC. The guy that made time that way also fought this battle against the pharisees. The church added the rest so rich people wouldnt look bad.
