so you want the people who were hired to find fraud to admit they failed at their job?No evidence of fraud coming out of these audits.
that's your standard?

I want the people who volunteered to conduct an unbiased forensic audit (because there are registered Republicans & Democrats doing it), to determine whether there was fraud found or not.so you want the people who were hired to find fraud to admit they failed at their job?

So is the current ‘crisis at the border’ being manufactured?Personally, I'd rather have that money in my pocket, have a more secure southern border
This was my thought when the GOP blocked the investigation into the capital riots.All I know is, he who has nothing to hide, hides nothing.
don't walk away - first explain how you can be certain that the "volunteers" haven't errored or committed fraud.I want the people who volunteered to conduct an unbiased forensic audit (because there are registered Republicans & Democrats doing it), to determine whether there was fraud found or not.
Their job is to find the truth. Evidence of fraud or no fraud, they will have done what they signed up for.
That's my last post on this. See ya in some more productive threads broham.
Nepotism is not an issue in the Biden White House. Hunter Biden is not part of the American government. If he were, then I would find that unacceptable. For how much Hunter Biden's name gets thrown around, why is it that ALL the people who reference him are apparently unaware that Jared Kushner exists at all, let alone ran more of the government than Trump did? Plain hypocrisy.You asked a question about if nepotism was an issue with Joe Biden. I answered. I didn't invoke him to justify as a way to obfuscate Trump's many misdeeds.
Yeah that's fair.Banana Republic doesn't mean "immature democracy". Banana republic means an unstable country with a singular resource. It comes from Central American countries who's main export is, you guessed it, bananas.
Move Hunter into Kushner's old office and have him be WhatsApp buddies with MBS and conduct top-level direct diplomacy via the App Store, completely outside of the official channels, with zero oversight or record archiving and with the actual Secretary of State deliberately cut completely out of the loop, and what's your reaction? You'd lose your fucking mind, and rightly so. But you can't be honest enough to admit that, so it's easier to just say "lol" and pretend that both sides are just the same, right?Lol.
See, a few years ago I would have been right there with you. But times change.I’ll preface this by saying I’m playing devil’s advocate. I’m libertarian, so not taking a side in this debate; just trying to understand where people are coming from. When I read your comment I wondered if you can appreciate that there are also millions of good well-intended individuals just like yourself who would say the exact same thing except substituting “R” for “D” and “DNC” for “GOP?”
I feel like any opportunity to find common ground and deescalate the polarization of every topic starts with an appreciation that valid opinions form on all sides of a topic. Broad brushing an entire party as rotten and a threat is hyperbole at best, but toxic to civil discourse.
"Valid evidence"You are likely correct but I’m curious what the response would be to valid evidence. I imagine 90+% of people would not be swayed from their current opinion regardless of what any investigation shows. People will latch onto the first political posturing or media sound bite which fits their narrative.
I would expect he'll be removed sometime in 2022.Just let me know when Biden is removed.
Kamala won't get in Office.I would expect he'll be removed sometime in 2022.
It won't be because of election fraud.
So is it only the states that Trump lost you think were victims of voter fraud?C'mon man, you know you don't really care about evidence. People have posted multiple links to the audits & investigations done by cyber experts in the swing states (the evidence that the Supreme Court declined to hear due to "lack of standing"), but you and others laugh it off.
And when the evidence comes out of this Maricopa Audit, ya'll will do the same thing. I can hear it now "those results can't be trusted", "we're supposed believe that shit 8 months later?", "who was conducting the audit, MAGAtards?", etc. Nothing will satisfy those who wanted Trump out, regardless of how overwhelmingly irrefutable the evidence is. You know it, I know it. So all I can do is wait and see what happens. What happens if Arizona's state legislature ends up decertifying the results because of fraud found in this audit? And they conduct the same forensic audit in MI, WI, GA (which is on deck), NV, and PA? And they also find evidence of fraud in those states? That's a rhetorical question. Maybe there's nothing there. But maybe there's everything. All I know is, he who has nothing to hide, hides nothing...and they Democrat party is trying everything in their power to stop (hide) these audits. even threatening to have the DOJ step in.
But of course, it's the mo$t obviou$ route.Defense for some Capitol rioters: election misinformation
Lawyers for at least three defendants charged in connection with the violent siege tell The Associated Press that they will blame election misinformation and conspiracy theories, much of it pushed by then-President Donald Trump, for misleading their clients. The attorneys say those who spread that misinformation bear as much responsibility for the violence as do those who participated in the actual breach of the Capitol.Defense for some Capitol rioters: election misinformation
Falsehoods about the election helped bring insurrectionists to the Capitol on Jan. 6, and now some who are facing criminal charges for their actions during the riot hope their gullibility might save them in court or at least produce some sympathy.apnews.com
“I kind of sound like an idiot now saying it, but my faith was in him,” defendant Anthony Antonio said, speaking of Trump. Antonio said he wasn’t interested in politics before pandemic boredom led him to conservative cable news and right-wing social media. “I think they did a great job of convincing people.”
But a very poor legal defence.But of course, it's the mo$t obviou$ route.
The same ballots that they scream are fraudulent, are the ones that increased the GOP presence in the House.So is it only the states that Trump lost you think were victims of voter fraud?
Perhaps. I've not paid too much attention, but if the Twinkies defense worked...But a very poor legal defence.
Got shot down by Mitch McConnell a couple of days ago. No investigation. Republicans won't allow one.We should do the opposite and publicly examine the SHIT out of how we ended up with this National embarrassment taking place.
This will be the default defence. And it is a legitimate defence. Their minds were deliberately poisoned to such an extent that they legitimately lost contact with reality, genuinely did not comprehend the difference between right and wrong, and did not understand the gravity of the crime that they were committing. It certainly can be legally argued that many/most of them were suffering from deep-set delusions, were detached from reality, and were not mentally competent to be held criminally liable.Defense for some Capitol rioters: election misinformation
