The best take of the Fulton County Raid

FBI raids Fulton County, Georgia election center as Trump presses bogus claim of stolen 2020 election

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2026/01/30/xfrs-j30.html

Dozens of FBI agents entered the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center in southwest Atlanta, Georgia on Wednesday, seizing large quantities of ballots, election records and other documents from the 2020 general election.

These are long-disproven allegations made by Trump and his coterie of fascist plotters between the November 2020 election and the January 6, 2021 assault on the Capitol, in which several thousand thugs, summoned to Washington by Trump, stormed the Capitol and temporarily blocked Congress from certifying Trump’s election defeat.

The flimsy character of the claims of ballot-rigging in Georgia—and in Fulton County and Atlanta in particular—was demonstrated in the civil suit filed by two election workers against Trump’s top election lawyer, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, which ended in a verdict awarding the election workers $148 million for slander and persecution.

The FBI raid comes less than a week after Trump told an international audience of billionaires and government officials in Davos, Switzerland that it was now known to all that the 2020 election had been stolen and that he expected arrests shortly for this supposed crime.

One vote for President Donald J. Trump, the best president ever.
Ballot written on 11/3/2020 and not in 2026, swear to God.




*Edited to correct election date because my brain cannot process that this man is still obsessed with something that happened 6 years ago.

support the conspiracy claims of interference by China and/or Italy and refute any such activity by Putin.
