  1. I'm fine with that as long as you leave CC/PA the hell out of that.
  2. That fraud would say something like that and absolutely pat himself on the back for it like he always does. He would do that because he’s conditioned himself to easily confuse relentless and profuse public mockery for “fear” because that’s what he has to tell himself constantly when he’s getting exposed. When Hitchens was holding the microscope to his little peepee on the subject of religion and everyone laughed, that’s because Hitchens was “afraid” of him. When people panned that stupid film he did about the Democratic Party, it’s because they were “afraid” of his “truth.” It’s hard to recognize that you’re guilty of confirmation bias when you also don’t know anything else either.
  3. That actually was a common theme in the litigation efforts to begin with, and it’s what conservatives/republicans/right wingers cannot for the life of them understand. All that stuff about “these loonbags spewed so much shit” is true but it’s only true within their little cult. Once they start stepping outside of their little ghetto, they have to trade in reality, and that’s not something they’ve ever been terribly good at. It’s one thing to talk inside the cult. It’s quite another when you take it out to the general public, and it’s just open season on what hypocrites, liars and frauds those failures really are. That’s why they’ve been getting rag-dolled over and over in courts.
  4. Such is the mindset from the world of Make Believe and Pretend. These are people who mentally reside there. They do not live in reality. These are the same people that think Trump is returning to the fucking White House today. These motherfuckers cannot handle losing, and the problem is how they see electoral politics in the first place: it's a spectator sport between "we" and "they." They "lost" the last game and they've gone full aggy about it. The sun was shining in their eyes, they weren't ready, the goal lines were painted too thick, the referees were in on it, etc.
  5. I seriously don't even know what normal human brain would be unable to reconcile the contradiction. "Yeah I said fact, but it was my opinion."
  6. In all seriousness, I was especially impressed and even moved by this portion: "To take one example, Powell has stated publicly that she has “evidence from [the] mouth of the guy who founded [Dominion] admit[ting that] he can change a million votes, no problem at all.” She told audiences that she would “tweet out the video.” These statements are either true or not; either Powell has a video depicting the founder of Dominion saying he can “change a million votes,” or she does not. To take another example, Powell has stated that she could “hardly wait to put forth all the evidence . . . on Dominion, starting with the fact it was created to produce altered voting results in Venezuela for Hugo Chávez.” Again, this statement is either true or it is not; either Dominion was created to produce altered voting results in Venezuela for Hugo Chávez or (as Dominion alleges) it was not. Take a few more examples. Powell has stated publicly that Dominion “flipped,” “weighted,” and “injected” votes during the 2020 election; either Dominion did so or (as Dominion alleges) it did not. Powell has claimed that state officials received kickbacks in exchange for using Dominion machines; either state officials received such kickbacks or (as Dominion alleges) they did not. All of these statements, and many others alleged in Dominion’s Complaint, “expressed or implied a verifiably false fact” about Dominion." It sucks to say this, but this was actually a breath of fresh air. We, as a society, have become so severely over-reliant on the word "opinion" to the point that we don't even fucking know what it is anymore. Very pleased to see this judge knows his ass from a hole in the ground on that subject because that's exactly what I was saying at the very beginning of this: None of what she's been saying could be construed as "opinion" even in the colloquial sense, much less legal sense. Powell straight up fucking lied through her teeth. She asserted baseless speculation as though it were a matter of fact. That's lying; not opinion. Down here in Texas, we call that "talking out of your ass."
  7. It doesn't really matter. That's what conspiracy theorists do as a matter of habit. They pretend to possess secret knowledge that hardly anyone (if anyone at all) possesses and that therefore makes them smarter than you.
  8. Just in looking at everything connected to that, our military adventurism over the past 75 years, not to mention multiple bouts of economic retardation Trickle Down Economics, the amounts blown on those activities would cause a real fiscal conservative to lose sleep.
  9. There would have been only one way to determine that: call their "bluff." The Bush administration obviously didn't think it was a bluff. Did it ever occur to you that the reason that Mueller said that was because that they weren't completely convinced of his involvement?
  10. The Taliban offered Bin Laden to the US via a third party on condition that the US provide evidence that he had some sort of complicity in 9/11. They never did. In fact, they explicitly refused the offer. Furthermore, by April of 2002, fully 7 months after the attacks and 6 months after the invasion, Robert Mueller was on record in the press saying "investigators believe the idea of the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon came from al Qaeda leaders in Afghanistan, the actual plotting was done in Germany, and the financing came through the United Arab Emirates from sources in Afghanistan…We think the masterminds of it were in Afghanistan, high in the al Qaeda leadership." "Investigators believe"..."We think" That's not a justification.
  11. Seems like a political version of this loser
  12. You know better than to use “trumper” and “honored” in the same sentence.
  13. Thought the bump would be concerning a different matter, but for those not in the know, Bobby Eaton passed away last week. His 63rd birthday would have been this coming Saturday.
  14. Which isn’t surprising when you consider that this is the same crowd that blindly follows liars that are in positions of imagined authority in their so-called “spiritual” lives. This is the same crowd that blindly follows religious figureheads that claim their faith is justified by the laws of thermodynamics, physics, et al. These are credulous people. They will believe anything that sounds good to them. OAN knows this and they play on this. There’s no fucking way they didn’t already know this asshole was a loser without a shred of credibility on the subject of mathematics. But they trotted him out there anyways because they knew their gullible audience would swallow that shit up, exactly as you describe. Ah yes, the Joan Peters strategy. But they wouldn’t be correct in red states where I’m sure this shit could be used to “prove” that Biden actually won, right?
  15. 30 years ago, they would have been labeled "moderate Republicans." Of course, they can't run on that. They can't run on "they're Pepsi, we're Diet Pepsi," so they have to get all creative in their messaging to make it look like they're different from the Republicans while simultaneously staying at arm's length from the Bernies and AOC's of the world. Right, they care about those things more than Republicans do, but that's like saying "the nicest guy in prison." But again, that's a very hard message to sell, which is why they look all convoluted and confused when they're really not. They just can't come out and say what they actually are. Republicans don't have that problem. They appeal to the absolute worst dregs of society and they're completely open about it, which is why they keep getting people to vote for them, which by definition is voting against their own interests...and even then, they still have to cheat like hell with all this gerrymandering, voting restrictions, coup attempts, et al.
  16. And they’re also giving free healthcare to pot-smoking atheists
  17. You are not helping yourself with these theatrics.
  18. The bigger takeaway should be that if 72% are that pig-ignorant about a basic concept like Arabic numerals, what reason do we have to believe they’re not even profoundly more ignorant regarding issues of social policy?
