so you want the people who were hired to find fraud to admit they failed at their job?

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.

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.

Personally, I'd rather have that money in my pocket, have a more secure southern border
So is the current ‘crisis at the border’ being manufactured?

From the concerns being expressed, apprehensions are up, no?

Are the numbers currently entering higher than the previous admin?

Trusting the First Report or the First Narrative is proving to be a Mistake
2020 has made that quite clear

don't walk away - first explain how you can be certain that the "volunteers" haven't errored or committed fraud.

and help me understand the vetting process that keeps political activists out of the process, and how it's so much more thorough and effective than the process used by the electoral officials.

How many here remember the 2000 Bush Vs. Gore Elections and the Diabold fiasco?


"DELAND, Fla., Nov. 11 - Something very strange happened on election night to Deborah Tannenbaum, a Democratic Party official in Volusia County. At 10 p.m., she called the county elections department and learned that Al Gore was leading George W. Bush 83,000 votes to 62,000. But when she checked the county's Web site for an update half an hour later, she found a startling development: Gore's count had dropped by 16,000 votes, while an obscure Socialist candidate had picked up 10,000--all because of a single precinct with only 600 voters."
- Washington Post Sunday , November 12, 2000 ; Page A22

We've seen this all before ...history repeating itself.

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.
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.

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.
Yeah that's fair.

I would say that colloquially, it is a pretty broad term and is oftentimes used as shorthand for a state which is run by a tinpot tyrant and his family members where expertise and governing competence is irrelevant, and the only policy priority is to retain power at all costs. But yes, you are right, I can afford to be more precise with my terminology.

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?

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.
See, a few years ago I would have been right there with you. But times change.

When the GOP was the party of Dubya and McCain and Romney, and most of their agenda was tax cuts for rich people and deregulation for industry and world policing, I would never have voted for them. But I would not have called them a threat to democracy either.

Why is it different now? There's a very simple delineation.

When McCain and Romney lost their elections......... they conceded to reality, congratulated their opponent, and praised the democratic system and the 150 uninterrupted years of peaceful transfer of power (which has now been broken - because of the GOP's extremism, cultism and disconnect from reality, and nothing else.)


Which realistic candidate for the 2024 Republican nomination would lose the election and concede it?

None of them. Not a single fucking one of them. They tell you openly, and they are actively purging the party of anyone who will vote to certify an electoral loss, and boasting about it.

That's crisis point for a democracy. It's not the same situation as it was even a decade ago.

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.
"Valid evidence"

You understand that the GOP's own lawyers are not even claiming fraud in court?

In Arizona:

Trump campaign attorney Kory Langhofer told a judge, “We are not alleging fraud in this lawsuit. We are not alleging anyone stealing the election.”

Lawyers have professional ethics rules. They don't want to be disbarred for lying to a judge.

The GOP is now an anti-democracy personality cult, dominated top to bottom by conspiracy retards. It's not the same situation that you think it is. Ten years ago, you were correct in what you are saying now. But the ground has shifted.

I would expect he'll be removed sometime in 2022.


It won't be because of election fraud.
Kamala won't get in Office.

Notice the uptick in UFO stories - Big Media pumping up UFOs...Joey Sellout Hogan bringing on guests to talk about UFOs..

When The Voter fraud is exposed for the world to see and everyone turns on the Elite....then the Order will pull their last and final rabbit out of their hat as a final last ditch effort to keep control of the sheep..

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.
So is it only the states that Trump lost you think were victims of voter fraud?

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.

“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.
Perhaps. I've not paid too much attention, but if the Twinkies defense worked...

I figure the actual rioters will be given token punishments and the actual fucking assholes who enabled it won't see any repercussions. Especially if the leadership wants to sweep it under the rug and forget about it as quickly as possible.

We should do the opposite and publicly examine the SHIT out of how we ended up with this National embarrassment taking place.

Got shot down by Mitch McConnell a couple of days ago. No investigation. Republicans won't allow one.

Both sides are exactly the same though, y'all.

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.

It's a fair defence. If I was one of their lawyers, that's 100% what I would go with. What else is there?
