Miscellaneous And Off Topic Subjects

The Democrats seem awfully agitated and nervous over the Arizona vote audit. Strange behavior considering that they have been telling us that every vote was a perfectly legal one. Most people welcome audits when their numbers are air tight.

Nobody is "nervous" about.

The vote was counted, recounted, and audited to death during the time frame that is set aside for that. The vote was fair, legal and final

This "audit" is stupid, most likely illegal, a waste of time and only riles up the morons that believe Trump's lies of a stolen election.

Talent, no, I've not seen the article you linked to although the works of some of the authors that Wade tips his hat to at the end of the article I have seen. I was not aware of the Furin Cleavage site ..... the so called smoking gun that pretty much provides slam dunk evidence that SARS2 was, at it's origin, a manipulated Beta Coronavirus.

The work of the guy that plotted hospitalizations along the subway route that led from the Wuhan lab at the center of the Controversy to the airport "providing a perfect corridor for the transmission of SARS2 globally" seems to me to be fully indicting.

Fucking Chinese.

Fucking Fauci. Somehow I knew that ass-hole was up to something involving a massive cover-up of his involvement in this shit-storm.

It's a terrific article for it's revelations and arguments. But, I'm with the author. There's little appetite for holding the people who should be subject to our opprobrium subject to it.

As an aside, I always had a feeling that Mark Schlissel was guilty of something. No idea what but still ........ Now I know that fucker isn't guiltless for being a part of the virologist's Omerta.

This is a fairly good thread on why it's harder to commit fraud using mail-in ballots than skeptics portray it to be.

Also, he separately notes that volunteering to help run the election some time would ease the doubts in a lot of people's minds. A lot of the doubts and skepticism comes, quite frankly, from knowing very little about the vote counting process itself.

I welcome an audit done by objective professionals. The one in Arizona is being done by a bunch of Republican operatives, overseen by Lin Wood's buddy. They're also ONLY looking at races that Democrats won. Very objective.

And the Republican controlled Maricopa County board of elections already performed several checks and said everything's fine.

Why aren't you calling for audits in states that Trump won?

Best version of Dixie I ever heard

[Jeff Buchanan]

I seriously question the insight and comprehension of people who think that there was voter fraud to the extent that warrants audits done by independents or otherwise. The US is facing a shit-ton of hot issues that need serious attention. This isn't one of them. Like I said, that this shit keeps popping up with suggestions that something was amiss or somehow the election was "stolen" from citizen Trump just pisses me off.

Al Gore did not act any better. He only conceded legal defeat and in his "concession" speech he said that he still disagreed with the Supreme Court's decision. To this day he still insists that he was the rightful winner.
.

You know, HIllary wasn’t exactly a gracious loser, either. Yeah, she’s on record as conceding to Trump by phone in the first week after the election. But that whole bit of not showing face at 2:00 am, and sending out Podesda, was hysterical. He looked like Gollum.

it’s too bad she didn’t stay in hiding.

[CGVT]

she’s on record as conceding to Trump by phone

And then... it was over.

See the difference?

I didn't think so.

As I said above. You fuckers are tedious with this shit.

It was never “over” as far as Hillary and her supporters were concerned

[Da Geezer]

Well, we are talking bout the people that couldn't figure out how to punch a ballot in 2000, so who the fuck knows

I'm glad you brought that up.

Two years or so after the Florida recount, the WSJ had a letter from the supervisor of voting in Houston. They had been having a 1% "spoiled ballot" rate. A spoiled ballot with punchcards meant multiple holes punched in one card. He explained how that occurred. Votes already cast were put into a punch box, and a stylus was punched through the Dem name on all ballots. This effectively canceled the R votes. Other blank cards were punched with just the D votes and they were added to the total box of votes cast. In Houston, when they went away from punch cards, the spoiled ballot rate dropped to .001%.

Then he said the following," Just try to punch 25 ballots at one time. That is how dimpled ballots came to be. In order to dimple a ballot, you have to have packing behind it, or else the chad will fall out."

All dimpled ballot cards were fraudulent according to this supervisor.

[CGVT]

Hahahaha. OK.

You all believe what you want to believe. Even if it is bullshit

[CGVT]

It was never “over” as far as Hillary and her supporters were concerned

Four years of screaming the only way I can lose is if there is fraud, claiming fraud with absolutely no evidence and instigating insurrection

Complaining about losing.

Same thing. Got it

Jesus.

Russians. Let's not forget 4 years of them too.

Yep


There was Trump-Russia collusion — and Trump pardoned the colluder


The Trump campaign colluded with Russia.

In an explosive development, the Biden administration confirmed that a Russian government agent with close connections to Donald Trump’s top 2016 campaign official “provided the Russian Intelligence Services with sensitive information on polling and [Trump] campaign strategy.”

This revelation demolishes, once and for all, Trump’s ceaseless claims that he was the victim of the “greatest witch hunt in the history of our country.” (Recall that a Trump appointee directed Robert Mueller to investigate “any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump.”)

But just how valuable was the polling and campaign strategy data that Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign chairman, gave to a Russian agent?

According to Brad Parscale, Trump’s election data guru, the information that Manafort handed directly to Russian intelligence was of critical importance, determining “98 percent” of the campaign’s resource allocations (such as spending on TV, radio and social media ads, rallies, field operations, and so on).

Indeed, the data was so important that Parscale kept a visualization of the information on his iPad at all times, allowing him to tell then-candidate Trump where to conduct his next rally at a moment’s notice.

According to the then-Republican-led Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, the ultrasensitive campaign information that Manafort passed to a Russian spy “identified voter bases in blue-collar, democratic-leaning states which Trump could swing,” including in “Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota.”

Moreover, the Russian intelligence officer who received the information “was capable of comprehending the complex polling data.”

That leaves a lot of unanswered questions as to what Russia’s spies did with the information.

Perhaps worse, Trump ultimately pardoned Manafort. Trump’s potential political rivals would be wise to remember that he handed the ultimate political favor to the man who colluded with Russia amid Moscow’s campaign to undermine American democracy.

But Manafort’s malfeasance fits a broader pattern.

As former Trump adviser Steve Bannon — indicted on fraud charges — aptly noted, top Trump officials engaged in a “treasonous” meeting with a former Russian counterintelligence officer and a woman with “extensive and concerning” links to Russian intelligence services.

At the same time, the then-GOP-led Senate committee made clear that Trump knew of and discussed the release of tens of thousands of Russian-hacked documents and emails pilfered from the Democratic National Committee.

Indeed, Trump may have instructed a close confidant, Roger Stone, to orchestrate the leak of Russian-stolen documents as a political distraction at a make-or-break moment during the 2016 campaign.

But it gets worse. According to former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, in surreptitious conversations with a top Russian official, Trump’s soon-to-be national security adviser Michael Flynn was “neutering” American sanctions designed to punish Moscow for interfering in the 2016 election on Trump’s behalf.

At the time, Flynn’s previous links to Russia made him the target of a counterintelligence probe, thoroughly justifying the FBI’s investigation into his collusive calls with a senior Russian government official.

Perhaps worst of all, Trump’s political allies released sensitive document after sensitive document in a desperate — and ill-fated — bid to score cheap political points for their boss.

Among other damaging revelations, these selective, politically driven leaks of once highly classified information gave America’s adversaries an intimate look into how America’s secretive spy catchers conduct their work. The long-term damage to national security and to America’s counterintelligence efforts will be debated for years to come.

Chairman Joe continues to insist the the border situation is not a "crisis" despite Chairman Joe calling the border situation a crisis. His pals in The Media are all too happy to go along. In fact, Politico has specifically prohibited the use of the term when it comes to the border. And, of course, The Media is all too happy to applaud his complete media blackout.

Krysten Sinema is not going along:

"The reality is that this is a crisis. We all know it, and the federal government must do more to address this surge of migrants who are coming to the border with increasing numbers each year.”

Arizona is certainly a state the Ds should eventually solidify as blue, but one has to wonder what the politics of an unmitigated border disaster are for that state when Sinema stands up to The Party. I wonder what that portends for 2022? Perhaps Chairman Joe better pass his Socialist State policies post haste through budge reconciliation.

Of course, it's worth noting this is worse than any of the "kids in cages" bullshit that The Media was all over and that the Ds held congressional hearings on. Lest anyone wonder who The Media works for.

Now, back to the great Russian Collusion hoax bullshit.
