Gusty Winds said...: There are at least, conservatively, 30 to 40 million voting Americans that knew (or 'believed' blah blah blah) that the 2020 election was being stolen while it happened. Figure another 20 million now figured it out?

2020 Voter Fraud is America's "Love that shall not speak its name." Kinda fits with everything else going on in America, doesn't it? Oscar Wilde and Socrates would be amused.; 11/14/23, 7:06 PM

What do you make of the unprecedented effort to keep Donald Trump from running again?

- John Harington

2020 Version:
"Why doth election fraud never prosper? What's the reason?
for if it prosper, none dare call it election fraud."

We saw election fraud occur in during the 2020 election night. Counting centers closing down prematurely, tossing the observers out, then continuing the count. The Detroit counting center taped over the observation windows. Multiple centers kept observers far away so they could not monitor the workers in the name of covid.

The courts used procedural excuses to shutdown law suits so no facts were ever examined, just lawyers. Law suits were either premature or too late, plaintiffs had no standing, briefs were not properly drawn, Thanks Giving was coming, Santa Claus was monitoring the court staff. Make up your own petty reason to ignore the facts.; 11/14/23, 7:54 PM

Kakistocracy said...: Hey look, Mike Johnson did the thing Kevin McCarthy got canned for.

Basically exactly what we would have got out of Nancy Pelosi. By all accounts the so called ‘freedom caucus’ is feeling as if it had just sat on a cactus. The rest of the GOP is wearing an omelet. Now ladies and gentlemen of the House of Representatives, being as this is the United States of America could we please agree on the aid for both Ukraine and the south east Mediterranean ASAP. We wouldn’t want the free world to think we had resigned as it’s de facto leader, just because the ‘freedom caucus’ wants the world (and America) to be less free.; 11/14/23, 8:26 PM

Mr. Majestyk said...: I've been thinking about getting a gun for home defense. We are in a rural area and it seems pretty safe, but if someone tried getting into the house, it would probably take LE a long time to reach us. So I fired a gun for the first time the other day. According to the instructor, my groupings were very good for a novice, which was nice. Of course, getting a gun means less worry about an intruder but a new worry about this dangerous tool in my house. No young kids, but still.; 11/14/23, 8:51 PM

This is a huge story

At least 31 Americans were killed on October 7th and more are currently held hostage -- because Biden had his intelligence community focused on climate change.

Conlaw Question...

Will this be on the final?

What a rambling bunch of bullshit from the Sundance.

He might want to investigate such things as Rudy's rubbing noses with the Russians while in Ukraine, Billy Barr's shutdown of investigations into Rudy, and his closure of incomplete investigations began by Mueller. Trump is and was up to his ass in Russian money laundering and financing even before they provided the money to finance his rash of golf course investments (Yes Virginia, Eric said they got all the money from Russia). The Russian Mafia interacted in shady real estate deals with Trump from their offices in Trump Tower. All Trump election campaigns have been helped by Russian disinformation thanks to the support of wingnuts like Sundance and Gateway Pundit.; 11/15/23, 5:46 AM
Humperdink said...: Every now and then a pundit/ website comes up with a description of the current president that fits him to a T. Put Biden on a stage and he turns into a "Roomba". We have one of these wandering machines. Made me smile. (Gateway Pundit); 11/15/23, 5:57 AM

West TX Intermediate Crude said...: Mr Majestyk-
Consider your firearm to be in the same class with sharp knives, automobiles, or electricity.
All are very useful, yet a hazard to life and limb if not used correctly and with proper respect. They are tools.
I have been using each of these tools for decades, with no injuries or harm to anyone. Get proper instruction and advice; you will be fine.

No kids in the house, primary concern "intruder:" Look into getting a shotgun first. Depending on where you live and where you travel, a concealed carry weapon should also be on your list.; 11/15/23, 8:43 AM

Jim at said...: Of course, getting a gun means less worry about an intruder but a new worry about this dangerous tool in my house.

A gun is less dangerous than a chainsaw. Do you worry about chainsaws? Lawnmowers? Rototillers? Tractors?

Far, far more likely to be injured - or killed - when operating those tools/machines than a gun.

Not being snarky, but treat a gun like anything else that could cause harm if not used properly. It's a tool. That's it.; 11/15/23, 2:23 PM

How did Mueller miss this? OK, he has more dementia than Joe, but he had a virulent Trump-hater who actually ran the show.

Seems like this would be pretty easy to find with the full force, might, and money of the federal government.

And yet...crickets.

Just make sure you get proper instruction on how to use and store it.. And practice with it.. That's really important.
