But I didn’t. I only knew that I know. Did you know that?
Always had a soft spot for Monica Selés;)
Go on offense. May Epik would be interested to know their home page openly incites white supremacy. Look at their racist photo and their blatant colonialist calls to “claim” her “domain.”
I don’t know the House rules specifically. But it looks to me like there is no urgency bc the idea is to hand off the process to a Dem Senate, not to McConnell.
Absolutely correct. This is not old news, it’s the whole point.
Getting a court hearing on fraud before January was always a Hail Mary.
Elections with single digit margins are occasionally overturned in court for reason of fraud. But large fraud cases, by contrast, take a long time to develop.
Yes, there are other concerns, but this one is essential. I encourage everyone to continue tracking this issue and to pressure for more fact finding. I won’t have my attention span regulated by CNN. Will you?
I agree with your observation, as I see the same. My contention is that the 4-year bubble of an essentially non-war stance will look very different to the younger generation who will almost certainly experience a continuation of the status quo endless war stance.
If and when war materializes, the undeniable fact of it will cut across the political spectrum and be extremely kind to Trump in hindsight. The social risk of being pro-Trump will be undeniably paired with anti-war sentiment and open the eyes of a large swath of young thinkers. This sentiment will inevitably bubble up to many of the 30-somethings you speak of, who will simply revise their opinion. The young have not been trained to be non-idealistic, while the older population have already been trained in double think, and are non-intuitively flexible enough to follow the lead of their kids, nephews, and nieces.
Fair enough. Thanks... and you may be right.
But I still think that youth, as dumb and inexperienced as they may be, can smell the spoiled milk. All the Trump bashing became dated immediately. It’s too obvious to me that counter culture goes where the risk is.
Big Tech is currently pointing a big fat screaming finger directly away from “the risk.” My contention is that war is undeniable once it breaks out. And when it does, we will see a new generation question who the good guys really were.
Again, I may be wrong, but my opinion is rooted in observing people, not just blind hope.
Funny thing. I don’t believe this post for minute. But it raises my curiosity as it lacks the hallmarks of the typical BS.
-there’s very little self-promotion and NO request for funding/donation that I found -the call-to-action is specific and coherent.
Seems like she genuinely believes there is actionable info that would result from declassifying H&S and removing a gag order from the creator.
I don’t buy it. But what’s the harm? I’m on board to look into that.
I agree with you... no indication of special knowledge there.
Problem is - they had time to modify their speeches based on what? No one emerged from under their desks in the chamber with accurate facts.
So my unfortunate conclusion is that in a time of crisis, some of our most elevated congresspeople are literally only capable of doing what the TV tells them.
Agreed and noticed. But I don’t think it indicates foreknowledge.
I think it indicates: -a weak mind -a lazy habit of using any excuse to run to a “comfortable” position -possible ignorance of media corruption and true belief in what appears on screens, or, for others, the cynical belief that what appears on screens is sufficient cover for their “new” position.
I don’t care if you lean right, left, or center. If you observe developing news stories over a period of time, and then apply rational thought, you know that there is ZERO fully reliable information in the mere minutes following a major event like the Capitol breach.
Anyone offering on-the-spot hot takes is ignorant, lying, or propagandizing.
Loeffler folded in negative 2 seconds.
Gaetz stuck to his original points as far as I could tell... even offering some counter-facts by way of demonstrating that “we don’t yet know what we don’t know.”
Have you reviewed the lists of elections overturned by courts?
I believe the legislatures are still being misled on this point. Single digit margins DO get overturned for reason of fraud. But courts are not meant to handle large scale claims of fraud, and never will, from what I can tell (big fraud is sometimes caught and punished, but NOT to correct a vote count).
The red herring of “1-49 court case record” must be thrown back to the lake. State legislatures alone need extreme pressure, because it’s THEIR decision.
I believe the table is set for Pence to send the dueling slates back to the state legislatures.
The crowds, along with notices and requests for delay from those state bodies, are acting as a catalyst for that decision.
It’s not 100%, but it’s a reasonable and probably the most realistic path to decertification. Trump would be wise to boil down to a fine point what exactly the crowd should be insisting on.
Because like you I also think the path is unclear.
There’s reason for optimism today.
I’m not expecting a “bombshell.” Maybe the evidence is still forthcoming but realistically it just takes a long time to develop a large fraud case.
I’m not expecting Pence to “select” EC votes in a controversial manner.
But there’s nothing stopping Pence from simply handing the question back to state legislatures.
The table is set. The crowd is there. Letters are coming in from state legislators and committees. Democrats are probably flipping out. Why? Because they know we are looking at a high % chance of some fireworks.
Every piece of this sounds credible except
for the repeated calls for funds, and the exclamations of “miracles” that allowed her to get this information out.
If I had this scoop, and thought I were really saving the world, I wouldn’t dirty up the story for ONE SECOND with even the appearance of gold digging.
I wish this were true. But the flags are very red, and very yuge.
Oh.
How convenient. A 50% vote dump flips both races. No visibility on the increments.
DeKalb at 42% for how many hours??
I heard this earlier but did not comment
... because, huh?
Kanekoa “the great” sp? is not the worst source, but as we say here, waiting on the sauce.
I know.
It’s maddening. Both Rs are down by hundreds of thousands all day. Both Rs overtake the margin and begin building a lead RIGHT NOW, based on turnout of “real voters.”
Yet the probability dials keep swinging to Dems. I understand if the red districts are just running out of votes. Fine. But who wants to bet that uncounted mail-in ballots appear late in blue areas?
With universal name recognition and relentless media demonization... yes, Trump was a far easier target for voter fraud.
Motive + means + opportunity are always there, but the means increase dramatically if you have thousands of confederates willing to go in on the steal and distribute the work.
There may well be substantial fraud, but I’ll bet it’s harder to mobilize an army of, eg, “Kelly Loeffler haters.”
Exactly. Any “available” defunct registrations used on behalf of that population constitute an abuse.
Picking up on your idea, it may be fruitful to push voter ID as an avenue to enfranchise the homeless, not exclusively as a law and order effort. Because it’s the same thing.
Unmeasurable, unsolicited ballots will inevitably be abused. Measurable, legally certified ballots put a cap on the potential magnitude of fraud. And the homeless deserve it (and I say it bc like many, I was essentially homeless for a period).
Funny thing is.
I don’t believe the Patrick Byrne stories of the “shredded ballots.” He is providing just enough detail to keep attention, and claiming further text/eyewitness/video evidence forthcoming.
This may mark him as a charlatan, but in the fullness of time, he could also prove to be a sincere investigator following clues that either pan out or do not pan out.
Compare that to Georgia SOS. His explanation of the irrelevant nature of any shredded material is, on its face, perfectly reasonable (it was outer envelopes blah blah, unnecessary to save by statute).
But was he on site?
Isn’t SOS making a blind claim based on a general assumption of regular shredding activity? But he didn’t see it. He’s just in some office.
Maybe Patrick Byrne finds nothing. But at least he’s got a crew reporting back on the situation. Why is there no such level of seriousness from the SOS?
SOS may not even be incorrect, but to me he appears absolutely lazy and blind to the level of motive, means, and opportunity for fraud in the Nov elections.
1000s of votes minus respective building capacities (2-digit or small 3-digit number) = # illegal ballots.
It’s about that simple.
Even if you grant the argument that the outreach centers get a pass on registration, and even if you grant that we don’t want to disenfranchise those in need... there is no way they are actively serving the number of registered persons as described by their own staff.
Therefore it is undeniable that a large proportion of such registrations are done fraudulently.
each pill before he stirs it into his applesauce.
