I've never heard of Aldi's before, so I looked it up. Closest one is over 150 mi away.

I appreciate the sentiment though.

The linked story alleges the laptop was destroyed by Michael J. Fox in a Parkinson's-induced fit. It's clearly satire.

The question is whether it's entirely made-up or if it's satirizing real events. Need to see a headline from an actual news source.

The language of the article implies that there was only a single Republican in the house who supported the bill (meaning it passed with heavy Dem support), and it was sponsored in the Senate by Richy Blumenthal and Chucky Schumer. Mich is still responsible for failing to do anything to stop the fraud before it happened, but there's good reason to believe that this thing specifically was a Trojan Horse for serious corruption.

Meaning officially? She's gone from the show?

Not up to speed on this one. Context?

President Trump's hard fought progress that didn't exist until it was politically convenient for the Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself).

I was getting that vibe to, but I decided to give it chance. Don't worry. It's not like that.

People need to remember this when it comes to primary season. There are going to be some Republican voters who are hesitant to believe that RINOs were complicit in covering up election fraud. There is no question whatsoever that Kemp et al were complicit in what that article describes. This is the kind of thing we can use to grow support for primary election efforts.

"We're not going to be divided and we're not going to be in a situation where people can pick off any member of leadership" is a pretty brazen statement from someone who (1) backstabbed the party's leader and (2) presumably answers to the people. The level of arrogance on display here is disqualifying.

I'm not saying those people don't deserve some of the blame, but it's important to remember just how stacked against them the situation is at this point.

The corporate media is essentially running a cult. They set themselves up as the sole arbiters of truth and take deliberate measures to prevent their audience from engaging with any alternative perspectives. Except, where most cult leaders just stumble onto these techniques, these propagandists have meticulously researched and refined them. They identified a weakness in human nature and waged a targeted assault.

It's understandable that many people who weren't even aware of what's going on would be ensnared. If we are going to reverse that, we need to recognize those people for what they are: victims. In the same way that the corporate media has developed its techniques for ensnaring them, we need to research and develop our own techniques to liberate them.

We need to make this happen. We need to make it a priority. We need to call, email, and pressure the members of those legislatures until it's done. Everything depends on it.

Yes. Very yes. It is abundantly clear that the Left means to leverage its economic power to crush its enemies. We must push back. We cannot afford to cede that field.

If the numbers revealed by Matt Braynard, even absent anything else, are an indication, then a serious, nation-wide effort to tighten up election security could have dire consequences for the Left. Their fear of that outcome explains so much of what we are seeing from them right now, in terms of both policy and rhetoric.

That fight will now take place in the legislatures of various states. We need to do everything we can, to call, email, write letters, attend townhalls, to make sure our legislators know we expect them to make this a priority and fight hard on it. This IS the hill to die on.

Something else to be aware of regarding Amazon: the company uses it's sales and consumer data to identify which products are popular and profitable, and then launches it's own competing products, crushing the smaller businesses that initially pioneered those markets. That's the sort of thing that will generate backlash even from apolitical people.

Ask yourself: Are you only here to be on the bandwagon, or are you here to fight for something you believe in? If it's the latter, will you be comfortable knowing that you gave up? Regardless of the outcome?

Losses in Georgia undermine President Trump's ability to implement his agenda during his second term. If people are willing to give up those seats without even casting a vote "because it's hopeless anyway" then they almost certainly lack the resolve necessary to endure a real conflict.
