Sounds like "I ate too many doritos" to me, kinda hard to say. Doesn't change the fact that someone with a lethal dose of both forms of fentanyl (metabolized and unmetabolized) in his blood probably got to that point by swallowing his stash.

We already knew this from the Amistad Project report that was released on.. December 16th 2020. Would be nice if they started taking it seriously now, but I'm not holding my breath.

To want to kill babies without a thought

Eliminate a clump of cells to preserve a woman's right to bodily integrity

mutilate children and force them to be trans

Stop the continual torture of children with gender dysphoria by allowing them to transition

eliminate gender

Remove the gender roles that chain people

Don't get me wrong, these people are nuts. But very few people are the villains inside their own heads. They've come up with all sorts of ways to justify the extremes that they're willing to go to in service of their ideology.

Nothing like a compromised forensic audit for destroying evidence, after all. Perfect excuse to go in there and fix things.

In fact, I remember a video where Gabriel Sterling (the chief operating officer in the office of the Georgia Secretary of State) said they released the full unedited footage because they were so confident that it disproved claims of fraud ... even though his explanation had several gaping holes in it and didn't disprove much of anything.

Edit: It was this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_mT7IYB5xk If you can stomach it, see if you can spot all the holes in his explanations.

The problem is that on the federal level, all the rules were technically followed. The electors were certified, objections were heard, Biden was confirmed and inaugurated. Certainly state officials committed a federal crime by lying to Congress about the results in their states, but that doesn't undo all the technically legal things that happened afterward. At this point the only legal way to get rid of Biden is to impeach him, and that obviously isn't going to happen until 2022 at the earliest (unless some very extralegal things happen, at which point all bets are off).

Since there isn't any legal way to change the result at this point, the pressure on SCOTUS to decline these cases should be lower. It'll be interesting to see if they take the cases to try and salvage their credibility, or if they double down and expose themselves as being completely controlled.

It's not just the settings, the software is also hugely vulnerable. The Antrim machines that Ramsland examined were running Windows Server with antivirus definitions 18 months out of date and Windows Updates similarly out of date. The Dominion software itself also has many unpatched vulnerabilities.

None of the machines involved in this process should be connected to the internet - transferring data for live updates via USB stick is one thing, but the definitive numbers used by the states should be collected by state officials in person. As this election showed, you can have as many paper trails as you want but if no one is allowed to look at them, you can fuck with the numbers digitally as much as you want.

Not only that, but the crux of their argument for finding Trump guilty was that the 1st Amendment doesn't apply to impeachment. They could literally only find Trump guilty by putting their feelings ahead of the 'sacred constitution' that they're now accusing Republican senators of ignoring.

Yes indeed, there are things that can be done to make BantuScottish's prediction come true. We essentially need to organize the same way they did, but with the aim of fixing things (fix the system, not fix the result like their "fortifying" doublespeak).

Just don't assume that everyone who voted Trump last time is currently motivated to go vote again. Even aside from the people who pledged to completely disengage if Democrats completed the steal, a lot of people have decided that this must simply be God's plan and so they don't need to do anything. We need to convince these people to fight.

I'm afraid a lot of people have checked out and it'll take some serious convincing to get them to vote again. Also remember that it wasn't 75 million this time - it was more. A good portion of Biden's supposed 80 million were votes for Trump that got algorithmically flipped. Right now nothing is stopping them from doing the same thing again and refining their methods so we don't notice next time.

I think the timeline argument is a little weak because livestreams are a thing, and it's not like there weren't people near the Capitol listening to Trump's speech that way. That doesn't change the fact that Trump's words weren't incitement, or that it was mostly a false flag planned by Antifa, or that they were let in, or..

Yeah, it's already hard enough to prove that someone was negligent in publishing a falsehood, because when there's a lot of facts and hearsay out there it can be easy to overlook critical information. Proving malice is nearly impossible.

"People reached out to you and you ignored them / refused to publish a retraction" should be enough evidence if it can be shown that 1) the correct information could have been confirmed and 2) a reasonable amount of time passed since the demand for retraction and filing the lawsuit.

If there's one thing that Trump is not, it's a good judge of people. I've lost count of the number of people who have either backstabbed him or proved themselves to be entirely incompetent. Trump tried his best and he has my respect for the effort he put in, but everyone associated with him needs to earn that respect personally.

5-6% matches the numbers seen nationwide I believe. I think statistical analysis showed a skew of 5% for Dominion and a skew of 6% for.. Grant, I think it was? Some other voting machine that didn't get enough attention.

I don't know if they're controlled opposition in the sense of being controlled by the Democrats. But they certainly aren't our allies either. They have their own establishment goals that involve a lot of money flowing into their pockets and their friends' pockets, and that's why they couldn't have Trump rocking the boat.

Alright, throw it on the pile. No not that one, it got too big so we prepared another room.

More seriously, for anyone who thinks this was a rare event or a one-off: A team of analysts looked at the per-district time series data (so the number of votes reported by each district over time) and found that this was happening all over the place. Never by a large amount, never too many in any one district, but they discovered thousands of instances of the totals for Trump decreasing, usually by being swapped with the numbers for Biden.

They have to put on a show because their control isn't complete yet. But if people keep waiting for something to happen instead of organizing themselves, soon they won't have to.

Go down the list until you find someone who isn't implicated? But more seriously, I don't think there are a lot of options for legal relief at this point, so it's probably better to see legal victories as a way to convince the masses. As for what happens when enough people are convinced ...

Oh I'm sure they care about the contempt charges, but they're stuck between a rock and a hard place - turn the ballots and machines over and be exposed as the treasonous scum they are, or keep obstructing and maybe get away with a slap on the wrist while the evidence disappears.

They use postmodernism as a tool to deconstruct our reality, then impose their own views and ignore the fact that we could just as easily deconstruct them in turn. "There is no objective reality, therefore you should accept my subjective views."

End of the day most things end up at a "just because" conclusion. Why does mass create gravity? Just because. Seems to be an innate function of mass and thats an assumption we must roll with because we don't know any means of testing this in a meaningful way

I want to push back on this a little bit because "just because" implies that no attempt is being made to figure it out. I think "we don't know" is more accurate most of the time - "we don't know" if the observed physical laws and constants are the way they are because of happenstance (the anthropic principle) or because of some undiscovered mathematical truth that prevents them from being anything else.

The "just because" of the anthropic principle (if that's what we end up having to settle for) also only really applies at the level of fundamental physics - a lot of other things further up the chain might be a consequence of random events, but we can usually at least determine the mechanism that would allow something to happen given the right circumstances and enough time.
