Forty years of extensive studies, concluded that the republican party organizes along the same lines as a flock of chickens, while another forty years of studies concluded the neurons in our brains do as well. What you will never hear an academic philosopher admit, is for any logic or metaphysics to more useful and meaningful, all you require is a sense of humor. The idiots are organizing like chickens, and Big Brother is a playground bully and lynch mobs, that are easily defeated. My job is put these kinds of videos out of business, for promoting the mindless mobs they warn people against.
Trump contends Newsom recall election is rigged. Trump, without evidence, already claiming Newsom recall is 'rigged' excerpt: ""It's probably rigged," Trump said. "They're sending out all ballots, the ballots are mail-in ballots; in fact, I guess you even have a case where you can make your own ballot. When that happens no one is going to win except these Democrats." Trump offered no specifics save for his "make your own ballot" line, which appears to be a reference to California's Remote Accessible Vote By Mail program, a seldom-used system that was created for voters with disabilities."
Michigan demands ex-Trump campaign lawyer reimburse $22,000 in legal fees excerpt: "WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Michigan on Wednesday demanded that lawyers who unsuccessfully sued to overturn former President Donald Trump's election defeat reimburse the state $22,000 for legal costs, and the City of Detroit was preparing a claim expected to be far higher. State election officials made the court filing to meet a deadline for state and local reimbursement claims under a ruling by U.S. District Judge Linda Parker."
Donald Duck has yet to answer for the charges that he rigged his own election and, at least subconsciously, one assumes he knows the democrats are coming for him, and his only defense is to call for civil war, which won't fly anymore. Homeland Security has had a long, long, time to prepare for any of his wackos and are almost done rounding up the first bunch.
FBI releases new footage of person suspected of planting pipe bombs ahead of the January 6 insurrection excerpt: "The FBI released new footage Wednesday of a person suspected of planting explosive devices in Washington, DC, hours before the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol. In the footage, a person wearing jeans and a hoodie can be sitting walking up to and sitting down on a park bench while carrying a bag. The FBI said the footage comes "from along the suspect's route" in Capitol Hill, where the bureau suspects they placed pipe bombs at the offices of the Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee."
Trump backers in AZ are talking like the AZ audit proved the election was stolen from him. Arizona Election Audit Drags, And Trump Backers Are Impatient excerpt: "With no end in sight, two of Trump’s staunchest backers in the state said Wednesday that the continued wait is unnecessary — they’ve already seen enough, and the election should just be decertified. State Sen. Wendy Rogers and Rep. Mark Finchem made the proclamations on Twitter on Wednesday within minutes of each other, calling on the state to “recall” its electors and decertify the election. “Do we need any more evidence?” Rogers tweeted. Of course, Arizona cannot decertify the 2020 election and Joe Biden is president. Neither Rogers nor Finchem has a formal role in the ongoing GOP audit, much less any control over the state’s electors, Arizona residents who voted in the Electoral College in Phoenix on Dec. 14 and have presumably returned to their normal lives."
Arizona Election Audit Drags, And Trump Backers Are Impatient excerpt: "The election in Arizona, as in every state, has already been audited multiple times without finding evidence of widespread voter fraud. Arizona did its own random hand count of more than 5,000 ballots cast in Maricopa County in November and didn’t find a single discrepancy. The county itself, which is Republican-run, has also had two independent firms review its elections equipment, which also found no issues. Biden won Maricopa County by about 45,000 votes."
To the chagrin of Trump and his supporters. Auditing Elections Equipment In Maricopa County | Maricopa County, AZ excerpt: "Maricopa County’s election equipment and software passed all tests performed by two independent firms hired to conduct the forensic audit, according to reports by two federally certified Voting System Testing Laboratories."
Texas G.O.P. Passes Election Bill, Raising Voting Barriers Even Higher excerpt: "The legislation takes aim in particular at Harris County, a growing Democratic bastion that includes Houston and is the nation’s third most populous county. The legislation forbids balloting methods that the county introduced last year to make voting easier during the pandemic, including drive-through polling places and 24-hour voting, as well as temporary voting locations. It also bars election officials from sending voters unsolicited absentee ballot applications and from promoting the use of vote by mail. The bill greatly empowers partisan poll watchers, creates new criminal and civil penalties for poll workers and erects new barriers for those looking to help voters who need assistance, such as with translations. It requires large Texas counties — where Democrats perform better — to provide livestreaming video at ballot-counting locations."
Texas G.O.P. Passes Election Bill, Raising Voting Barriers Even Higher excerpt: "Including Texas, 18 states across the country have passed more than 30 bills this year restricting voting, one of the greatest contractions of access to the ballot since the Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965. The relentless pace of these voting laws has raised pressure on Democrats in Congress, where a stalemate in a narrowly divided Senate has left them with little hope of passing federal voting legislation that would combat the new restrictions. Texas, a state with booming urban areas and demographic trends that have long been seen as favoring Democrats, already had some of the nation’s tallest barriers to casting a ballot. It has closed hundreds of polling locations since the Supreme Court invalidated a key part of the Voting Rights Act in 2013, according to a report by the nonpartisan Leadership Conference Education Fund. The state has one of the strictest voter identification laws in the country and does not permit no-excuse absentee voting by mail for voters younger than 65."
Texas legislators cited a few apocryphal examples of voter fraud but implemented no major objective study to justify the new voting restrictions. The bill lacked an assessment of how it would affect voting by minorities. If the GOP legislators thought that 24-hour voting was a problem, they should have performed audits and showed that it has a high fraud rate to justify prohibiting it. Part of what precipitated the new voting restriction legislation was Trump's 2020 loss and likely the general demographic trend of Texas moving toward once again being a swing state after being solidly Republican in presidential elections since 1980. Texas G.O.P. Passes Election Bill, Raising Voting Barriers Even Higher excerpt: "Republicans in Texas have argued that the legislation was necessary to create confidence in the election system and address the possibility of fraud by voters. Throughout the debates in both the House and the Senate, Republican lawmakers pointed to discrete episodes of what they described as improper and fraudulent voting, though not the sort of systematic voter fraud that could have shifted election results. They strongly denied that the bill would disproportionately hurt Black and Hispanic voters, but blocked Democratic efforts to make studying the bill’s impact on voters of color a part of the legislation."
The minute Texas acts like they are actually part of the union, its time to move to Mexico, just because its faster than going to Canada. They are all "Making Their Final Stand" and preparing to defend the Alamo, because they know damned well Homeland Security and the democrats have decided to have fun together, and are coming for the republican party, which no longer seems to comprehend the meaning of democracy.
10th person from South Carolina arrested in connection with Capitol insurrection. https://www.thestate.com/news/politics-government/article254079743.html excerpt: "A 10th South Carolinian now faces federal criminal charges in connection with the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. James Douglas Lollis Jr., of Greer, is charged with entering and remaining in a restricted building, disruptive conduct in a restrictive building, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building and parading or demonstrating in a Capitol building."
White House Forces Out Trump Appointees From Boards of Military Academies excerpt: "Eleven Trump appointees were asked to resign, CNN reported earlier on Wednesday. They included former White House officials such as Kellyanne Conway, President Donald J. Trump’s counselor; Sean Spicer, his first White House press secretary; Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, Mr. Trump’s second national security adviser; and Russell T. Vought, a former director of the White House Office of Management and Budget under Mr. Trump."
Trump placed Kellyanne Conway on the board of a military academy. Kellyanne Conway is known for citing a fictitious 'Bowling Green Massacre', thinking it was real. Conway also mistakenly thought that COVID-19 was the 19th iteration of the disease.
The idiocy of Kellyanne Conway. She accused the health community of not understanding COVID-19 by mistakenly thinking that there had been 18 previous iterations of COVID-19. The health community stated that there could be variants of the coronavirus that appear down the road, which was an accurate statement. Conway insinuated that they didn't know what they were talking about because (in her mind) there had already been 18 previous versions. ‘This is COVID-19, not COVID-1, folks’: Kellyanne Conway mistakenly suggests name of virus means multiple versions - The Boston Globe excerpt: “Some of the scientists and doctors say that there could be other strains later on, that this could come back in the fall in a limited way. This is COVID-19, not COVID-1, folks," Conway said. “You would think that people charged with the World Health Organization facts and figures would be on top of that.”
Rush Limbaugh, whom Trump awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, made the same mistake about COVID-19 as Kellyanne Conway. ‘This is COVID-19, not COVID-1, folks’: Kellyanne Conway mistakenly suggests name of virus means multiple versions - The Boston Globe excerpt: "The conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh made a similar suggestion on air in late February when he said COVID-19 represents the 19th version of the virus. “I said yesterday there are numerous types of coronavirus," Limbaugh said on Feb. 25, the same day he asserted the flu has a higher fatality rate than the virus, according to the Washington Post. “This is coronavirus 19. Now, the official name of it is COVID-19.”"
