That's the spirit.
I get that. But a lot of my friends have been buried under the flag. I intend to fight in the fucking shade.
Couldn't care less; it's not like it's his job but not mine.
If not me, who? If not now, when?
I've already met those pussies. I'm their Huckleberry.
I appreciate that input; this should help:
Votes cast in the CO primary: 2008: 488,130 2010: 774,071 2012: 530,119 2014: 634,181 2016: 644,723 2018: 1,161,574 2020: 1,601,524
Population: 2014: 4.901M 2010: 5.050M 2012: 5.195M 2014: 5.352M 2016: 5.542M 2018: 5.696M 2020: 5.763M
Which led me to "WTF? No fucking way." The primary vote increase from 2016-2020 was 7x the largest increase between 2008-2012 or 2012-2016. And the only thing that changed in 2016? Dominion, Arlo (RLA software), etc.
Thanks for asking; one of the things bothering me: "The RLA is efficient because of its insight that we do not need to manually recount every vote to gain certainty in the outcome of an election. Instead, the number of votes we need to manually count depends on the margin of victory in the contest we’re auditing. A typical state-wide RLA might require checking fewer than 1000 ballots to validate an entire state’s election results."
I.e., the more you pad the vote (if you have the ability, either through old-fashioned ballot-stuffing, or ineligible/fake voters (illegals, moved out of state, never were here), or ballot printing (Runbeck literally provides machines that will mark ballots "received from evotes" as if they were hand-marked, so the resulting printed, marked ballot can then be run through an optical scanner as if an eligible voter marked it themselves), or just literally making up votes (either in tabulation, or in the transfer as is speculated w/Dominion and the remote data servers), the FEWER ballots you check.
My guess is that the Arlo code has been manipulated to support the claim of valid audits, but that the audits do not, in fact satisfy the principles of Lindeman and Stark's (et al) theory and criteria.
Here's the principle/theory: https://risklimitingaudits.org/resources/ Here's the code for Arlo: https://github.com/votingworks/arlo And here's an example of where they made a change to the code, which looks to me like they are defying the statistical principle just so they don't have to conduct a large sample audit in a close election): https://github.com/votingworks/arlo/pull/884
It's been a long time since I wrote any code, and it wasn't any of these languages (Python, Java, HTML, etc); I'm slow wading through it and not sure I'll recognize the weird parts.
We shouldn't; we should make clear and enforce the criteria under which any self-reported platform is clearly acting as a publisher and immediately relieve them of any Section 230 protections. Platforms are protected from liability for the content that users post on their site on the basis of the premise that they provide an open forum and are therefore not to be held liable for the content which users post. This differs from a publisher, which makes editorial decisions about what to post, emphasize, deemphasize, and exclude. You can amplify or suppress points of view either directly, or in search results, or by highlighting content and users or doing the opposite. Any social media company that does so (amplifies or suppresses any content or user) on any basis other than the illegality (e.g. promotion/incitement of violence, exploitation of children, etc) of that content is behaving as a publisher, not a platform. Google, Youtube, FB, Twitter, Instagram, etc, are all behaving as publishers, not as platforms. Their Section 230 protections should immediately be removed.
I'd rather see clear, immediate guidance that Section 230 protections do not apply to any company or service acting as a publisher, wherein they suppress any user or content on any basis other than suspected or confirmed violation of U.S. law. I.e. no "hate speech," no "community standards," etc. If we remove Section 230 protection entirely, the smaller competitors will be buried by frivolous and malicious tort suits.
Cancelled my Costco membership yesterday when I walked in, refused to wear a mask, had their assistant manager track me down in the store to tell me I had to wear a mask, then went and got his manager to tell me I had to wear a mask (and this fat sonofabitch had a surgical mask on literally gapped on all four sides, while he stood less than six feet away from me), and then threaten to call 911 without ever having asked me to leave.
Some of them are just trying to keep their jobs, and I feel for them, but many of the mask Nazis are really into it, and the companies that voluntarily comply w/tyranny need to be bankrupted.
Now is not the time. But soon.
Get the fuck out.
The important thing, should they decide to behave in a violent, coercive manner, is to lull them into a perimeter they cannot escape. You see what they are: they are the sucker-punch, gang-rape crowd. Let them feel confident. Let them commit. Make sure they are irrevocably committed. And then we end it.
Laughter is the absolute best response to control freaks; it's the opposite of the reaction (fear, respect, etc) they crave and you can train them to learn to avoid the response. Plus, it puts you at ease. Non-threatening mockery is the ticket.
I'm partial to "Not even Christ judges me, and he didn't mention you; why don't you leave that up to our maker?"
- Unblock your cousin; you're not a leftist -help them to the light.
- Go see your family; be confident and secure in your own person, and accept them as they are (without putting up w/abusive or disrespectful behavior from them).
- Think of what you would like as your family tradition (e.g. drunken board games, watching favorite movies, family football game, family video game, whatever-floats-your-boat) and tell them you want to start doing it. Assertively, not aggressively.
If they're actually toxic (negative, abusive, etc), then stay the fuck away from them; otherwise, take a deep breath, embrace the good, be yourself.
Same article content, different site (in case you can't see the full Epoch Times article) https://ntdca.com/the-small-world-of-voting-machine-certification/
I don't know who Epoch Times' Jeff Carlson is, but we have an actual reporter in the house; links from his article on Pro V&V in GA. They weren't just used in GA.
Pro V&V began w/an unnamed "angel" investor in 2011. Their people don't appear to have any particular expertise. Their reports are pretty much bullshit. Something is very fucky w/Pro V&V.

"She also noted that Cobb, the director of Pro V&V, “plainly indicated that he actually claims no specialized knowledge or background in cybersecurity engineering and did not himself perform any security risk analysis of the BMD [Ballot Marking Device] system.” "
It's not me that got the history wrong; it was you. And when you do so, it guts your credibility and the premise that you assert.
We agree: appeasement of radicals and extremists is just slowly cutting your own throat. We're not going to be extinguishing ideas from the Earth, though; that's just dumb. Trying to do it is dumb. Thinking you can do it is dumb. There'll be no end to what we have to do, which is remove them from power, expose the failures and danger of the ideology, defend ourselves with force when confronted with force, defend our natural rights and liberties, and teach every single generation of children what is true, and how to think for themselves.
FFS.
Your original claim: "The brown shirts arose in opposition to the original Antifa."
No, they didn't. That is factually incorrect. Your statement is bullshit.
Then, you moved on to: "the entirety of national socialism arose to reject Communism, or "international socialism". Hitler remains the only person to ever take the fight directly to the communists."
No, it didn't, and no, he didn't. That is more factually incorrect bullshit.
Now, you're on to some kind of retarded defense of national socialism? Hitler was an insane cunt. Mao was an insane cunt, but he had nothing to do with brownshirts (and ANTIFA are EXACTLY like the brownshirts, being used, by socialists (collectivists), ONCE AGAIN, to try to terrorize political opposition). Neither did Churchill.
Are you fully fucking retarded or just some kind of half-assed Nazi fanboy? Nobody here is interested in your bullshit. There isn't a fucking thing MAGA about Nazis; get the fuck out.
THIS is our own country.
NATIONAL socialism opposed INTERNATIONAL socialism, but a) it was still socialism, which is collectivist, so b) they were BOTH opposed to non-collectivist ideologies, and c) neither "arose" (you keep using that word, but neither "arose") in response to one another; both "arose" in response to non-collectivist ideologies and governments, and "national socialism" was patterned after ethnic nationalist political ideologies (Kjellen, Barres, et al).
"Hitler remains the only person..." This is just stupid fucking ignorant nonsense. Nationalist Chinese under Chiang Kai-Shek, Finland, Aron and DeGaulle in France, the '56 Hungary revolt, Solidarity in Poland, etc. etc. What the fuck are you talking about?
I'm not saying everyone should treat all Biden supporters as many of them have treated Trump supporters, but I AM saying that, on an individual basis, if someone behaves like a fucking cunt toward you, we all need to reciprocate until they don' t like that game any more. Chips fall.
I don't start out uncivil, but my 0-60 will take your breath away. If we don't win the culture war, there won't be a high road; it'll be a thousand years of darkness instead of a thousand years of dankness.
It's actually islands of leftist stupidity in a sea of hard, common-sense people. The frontier is alive and well in Colorado, but the Calizuela crowd and leftist money flowed in, and now we're fighting for it.
