Talk about voter fraud. This freaking scumbag murdered his wife and used her mail-in ballot to fraudulently vote for a con man. Important point, he was charged for voter fraud, shows that our election system is not some joke, as Trump and his supporters will want people to believe.


Husband charged with murder of missing wife in Colorado also charged with voter fraud for filling out her ballot

By Hollie Silverman, CNN 11 hrs ago

A Colorado man who was recently charged with murder in the disappearance of his wife a year ago has also been charged with voter fraud for voting for Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election using his wife's mail-in ballot, according to an affidavit.

© Chaffee County Sheriff's Office Barry Morphew, who has been charged with murder in the disappearance of his wife a year ago, now faces a voter fraud charge.


Barry Lee Morphew last week was charged with murder, tampering with physical evidence and attempting to influence a public servant in connection with the death of his wife, Suzanne Morphew.

Suzanne was reported missing on May 10, 2020.

An arrest warrant filed in Chaffee County, Colorado on Thursday shows that Barry Morphew faces charges of forgery and offenses relating to mail ballots.

The affidavit shows that a Chaffee County clerk reported the alleged voter fraud on October 22, 2020, after receiving a "voter ballot predesignated for a missing person, identified as Suzanne Renee Morphew."

While the ballot did not have a voter signature, it had a handwritten name of Barry Lee Morphew on the designated signature line for a witness, according to the affidavit.

When FBI agents went to interview Barry Morphew on April 22, 2021, he told them he did it because he wanted Trump to win reelection.

"Barry replied 'Just because I wanted Trump (referring to President Donald Trump) to win,'" and "'I just thought, give him (referring to President Trump) another vote,'" the affidavit said.

Morphew allegedly also said, "I figured all these other guys are cheating" and "I know she (referring to Suzanne Renee Morphew) was going to vote for Trump (referring to President Trump) anyway," according to the affidavit.

He allegedly told investigators that he didn't know it was illegal to vote for your spouse, the affidavit said. Read more

Cheney: Trump’s Stolen-Election Comments Create Image of U.S. as ‘Failed Nation’
Zachary Evans 5 hrs ago

Representative Liz Cheney (R., Wyo.) warned that President Trump‘s allegations that Democrats “stole” could give the impression that the U.S. is a “failed nation,” in comments to ABC News on Sunday.

Cheney said that Trump’s continued remarks play into assessments by enemies of the U.S., in particular China, that democracy is inferior to an autocratic model.

“To cause that kind of questioning about our process, frankly, it’s the same kinds of things that the Chinese Communist Party says about democracy: that it’s a failed system, that America is a failed nation,” Cheney said. “I won’t be part of that.”

Cheney was ousted as Republican Conference Chair on Wednesday, after continuing to publicly criticize Trump over his election comments and his apparent refusal to help quell the January 6 riot at the Capitol. The House GOP voted to replace Cheney with Representative Elise Stefanik (R., N.Y.), who received the endorsement of Trump.

“I’m truly honored and humbled to earn the support of my colleagues to serve as House Republican Conference Chair,” Stefanik said in a statement on Friday. “House Republicans are united in our focus to fight on behalf of the American people to save our country from the radical socialist Democrat agenda of President Biden and Nancy Pelosi.”

Cheney commented on Sunday that the decision to replace her with Stefanik was “dangerous.”

“We have to recognize what it means for the nation to have a former president who has not conceded and who continues to suggest that our electoral system cannot function, cannot do the will of the people,” Cheney said.

I'll tell ya, good for her to show some real decent moral values and hold on to them no matter the cost. She knew she would be outcast and removed from her position yet she didn't succumb to the party pressure to push for the Orangutan's leadership of the RP. She deserves a lot of credit.

One of the reasons why I oppose mail-in ballots. In fact, the whole US election system is broken, from top to bottom, and needs to be reformed.

I never thought I will agree and support Cheney. I don’t agree with most of her political agenda, or her voting record. But who in their right mind can disagree with her for saying: “Today we face a threat America has never seen before. A former president, who provoked a violent attack on this Capitol in an effort to steal the election, has resumed his aggressive effort to convince Americans that the election was stolen from him. He risks inciting further violence.”

“To remain silent, is to embolden the liar. We mustn’t stand by as Trump undermines our democracy, and in the face of claims by China, Russia and other authoritarian regimes around the world, we must speak the truth by letting the world know our election was not stolen, and America has not failed.”

I’m blessed that I live in Washington one of the three states that is all-mail state. I think it is one of the most convenient way of voting, I mean who wants to stand for 2 to 10 hours in line to cast vote. Many studies have shown that vote by mail and in person fraud is rare in the United States. But I agree there is always room for improvement.

You know that Lyndon Johnson actually claimed the same crap when he lost his first election to the senate by votes of dead people. Amazing how history almost always repeats itself. And he was one of the rare southern Democrats.

But at least he actually did A LOT for civil rights and many other things like Medicare and Social Security if I'm not mistaken after Kennedy's assassination. If you don't believe in any of the conspiracies that he might've been involved in it.

I actually just saw the movie lol! It's great if you like political history. It's on HBO I believe.

I have to watch it, in fact thanks for reminding me, few years ago one of my friends watched it and he told me about it.

FDR’s New Deal and Lyndon Johnson’s A Great Society created one of the best programs for the underprivileged and the retirees. Social Security Administration (SSA) was actually part of FDR’s New Deal, on the other hand, Medicare and Medicaid were Lyndon Johnson’s A Great Society’s best programs.

Trump blog page shuts down for good
PUBLISHED WED, JUN 2 2021


Former President Donald Trump’s blog — a webpage where he shared statements after larger social media companies banned him from their platforms — has been permanently shut down, his spokesman said Wednesday.

The page “From the Desk of Donald J. Trump” has been scrubbed from Trump’s website after going live less than a month earlier.

It “will not be returning,” his senior aide Jason Miller told CNBC.

“It was just auxiliary to the broader efforts we have and are working on,” Miller said via email. Read more

G7 backs Biden's sweeping overhaul of global tax system

By Tara John and Kevin Liptak, CNN Business June 5, 2021

London (CNN)Group of Seven finance ministers gathering in London agreed Saturday to back a global minimum tax of at least 15% on multinational companies. The G7 group also agreed that the biggest companies should pay tax where they generate sales, and not just where they have a physical presence.

UK finance minister Rishi Sunak announced the agreement in a video posted on Twitter Saturday, saying G7 finance ministers -- hailing from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the US -- had "reached a historic agreement to reform the global tax system to make it fit for the global digital age and, crucially, to make sure that it's fair so that the right companies pay the right tax in the right places."

The agreement was made during a G7 meeting of finance ministers in London, attended by US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, where she sought backing for the administration's efforts to rewrite international tax rules and discourage American companies from booking earnings abroad.
Yellen said Saturday that the agreement was a "significant, unprecedented commitment," from the world's richest economies aimed at preventing companies from avoiding taxes by shifting profits overseas.

"The G7 Finance Ministers have made a significant, unprecedented commitment today that provides tremendous momentum towards achieving a robust global minimum tax at a rate of at least 15%," Yellen wrote in the statement.

"That global minimum tax would end the race-to-the-bottom in corporate taxation, and ensure fairness for the middle class and working people in the U.S. and around the world," she said, adding that the tax would also level "the playing field for businesses and encouraging countries to compete on positive bases, such as educating and training our work forces and investing in research and development and infrastructure."

Tech giants such as Apple, Facebook and Google might be affected by the agreement. Foreign governments have long complained that large digital companies should pay them more in taxes. Some have recently passed taxes specifically targeting revenue generated by such companies, including those based in the US such as Facebook, Google and Amazon.

Nick Clegg, Facebook's vice president for global affairs, said in a statement the company had "long called for reform of the global tax rules and we welcome the important progress made at the G7."

"We want the international tax reform process to succeed and recognize this could mean Facebook paying more tax, and in different places," Clegg added.
Google said it strongly supported the work done to update international tax rules, and hopes "countries continue to work together to ensure a balanced and durable agreement will be finalized soon," Google spokesperson, José Castañeda, said in a statement to CNN.

And a spokeperson for Amazon said that "we believe an OECD-led process that creates a multilateral solution will help bring stability to the international tax system. The agreement by the G7 marks a welcome step forward in the effort to achieve this goal. We hope to see discussions continue to advance with the broader G20 and Inclusive Framework alliance."

Building consensus

The agreement marks a significant win for the Biden administration ahead of next week's G7 leaders summit in Cornwall, demonstrating an initial ability to build consensus among the group.

Led by Yellen, the US had been pushing very hard for such an agreement ahead of the G7. While this is separate from a US corporate minimum tax of 15% that Biden has proposed as part of ongoing infrastructure negotiations, officials do view it as a critical element of his broader tax agenda.

Biden's plan to pay for at least $1.4 billion in new infrastructure spending hinges in large part on garnering backing for a global minimum tax on corporations that increases payments to the Treasury.

Establishing a minimum rate could help discourage companies from shifting their profits to countries where they would pay less tax.
Saturday's agreement could help accelerate parallel tax negotiations among roughly 140 countries that are being led by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).

OECD Secretary General Mathias Cormann welcomed Saturday's announcement, calling it a "landmark step toward the global consensus necessary to reform the international tax system." He added in the statement that the decision added "important momentum" to the upcoming parallel tax negotiations.

Ireland, which has successfully recruited global companies -- including big US tech firms -- by offering a corporate tax rate of just 12.5%, is one country that has expressed significant reservations over the Biden proposal.
