I should have been more clear.

I specifically just don't think the fraud with the machines is something that can be proven; I agreed with the executive level (and legislative/judicial) overreach/improprieties part of the document. Because I can see that and traditional fraud as happening; I still haven't seen the proof for the "vote switching," which is where I'm primarily skeptical.

Skeptical of proof?
Or skeptical that it would happen given the stakes?

Matt Sablan said...

Skeptical of being able to prove it. It's in the extraordinary claims column. I think that Powell and others could probably have gotten by just focusing on the other two parts of the case, and the Dominion stuff is going to be the hardest part to prove. It's entirely possible, but lots of things are possible that also didn't happen.

A lot of things that did happen can't be proven.

Not sure why you insist on proof right off the bat when we can't even get an investigation.

What's really happening in Georgia is a civil war between two factions of the GOP. The Republicanish speaker, a sleazeball defense attorney, is warring with Governor Kemp, a serious social conservative. We have two Senate seats in play because of some truly idiotic libertarians and my lying Congressman, Doug Collins, who grossly straddles libertarian anti-cop rhetoric and GOP squish anti-border rhetoric. Behind Doug are the anti-cop, anti-border Kochs, whose meddling creates serious problems all over the GOP.

One libertarian, Shane Hazel, spoiled a close victory for sitting GOP Senator Perdue -- Shane, whom I know slightly, wrote the most granularly idiotic platform I've ever seen. He opposes police responding to burglaries or riots because we are responsible for defending our own property, but police should respond to robberies because, hell, I have no idea how he comes up with this stuff and then says it out loud without his campaign manager duct-taping his mouth and throwing him in a car trunk, which Shane may or may not view as a crime.

In the other race, Lyin' Doug Collins, who did not support Trump, no matter what he says on Fox News, spoiled a probable victory for sitting GOP Senator Kelly Loeffler because he's still pissed that the governor appointed Loeffler to the seat instead of him. So now we have two runoffs and the balance of the Senate hanging in the wind.

The handful of nutcases the MSM annointed as "tea party leaders," which they aren't, such as Jenny Beth Martin, are incoherently blustering all over the map, while the 99.9% of Tea Party and so-cons are concerned about the voter machines but aren't falling for libertarian and democrat meddling to get us to not vote in the run-offs. Unfortunately, our drama is everyone's drama now.

If Sidney Powell spent more time with spell-check than with pumping up the idiot wind minority on our side, we'd be in a better place, but her throw-everything-at-the-wall approach isn't odd for attorneys. As a lawyer I know says, you never know which shiny object will attract the judge's eye.

Rand Paul is on his way here to try to fix what he helped break. Maybe he'll learn something from the exercise, but I doubt it.

The typos in the title were likely on purpose.

There is no way you could get a misspelling of District as Distroict. You might get Districct if you have a sticky c, but not the other.

Try it.

I think Venezuela is behind the typos.

There are typos that your eye will miss. Your eye cannot pass over those two.

In 2008 Minneapolis hosted the RNC. I was a volunteer guide stationed at a hotel where delegates stayed, including those from Georgia. A bunch of the younger delegates wanted to go somewhere besides the restaurants in the immediate area. I suggested a place, and offered to take some in my SUV.

I was parked at the entrance, with three guys in the back seat and one beside me in the passenger seat. A gal decided to jump in, choosing to ride laying down on the laps of the three in back. As she settled in, the governor (Sonny Perdue) and his wife walked by. Perdue looked into my truck, saw the gal (who said, "Hi Governor"), shook hands with the two closest men, and smiled, and said not a word. He and his wife moved on.

The gal said, sadly, "I don't think I'll be singing the National Anthem at the next Prayer Breakfast."

That's my Georgia politics story.
