  • Lawsuit Challenging 2024 Election Results Moves Forward After Kamala Harris Received Zero Votes in a New York County

  • Casual dismissal of statistically relevant recount and largest recount ever in Wisconsin, even including compared to 2020.

    Local elections officials in 336 randomly selected municipalities across the state hand-counted 327,230 ballots as part of the 2024 audit. That is nearly 10% of all Wisconsin ballots cast in the 2024 election and the largest post-election audit ever undertaken in the state.

    The only errors found during the audit were made by people, not the vote-counting machines. And only five human errors were detected, resulting in an error rate of just 0.0000009%, according to the report.

  • He initially called Bush to concede and then called him back to un-concede, which really pissed off Bush. That's what I was referring to. It wasn't public, though.

  • Leftists and liberals all think they're somehow immune to conspiracy theories, but here we are. Nearly everyone commenting or voting in this thread has an opinion based on feelings, and they're looking for evidence to justify their beliefs. "I'm not one to believe conspiracy theories, but..." That's a load-bearing "but" there.

    No really: stop for ten seconds and think about why you believe this. Be honest.

    Yes, I'm aware of the video that's been linked repeatedly where they can't explain how a small percentage of Trump cultists only voted for Trump and no one else. Imagine that: voters who think the entire system is corrupt and Trump is their savior don't vote for anyone else.

    Here's an actual recount in a swing state, and it found nothing.

    And as korendian has been trying to tell you, New Square in Ramapo, NY is a tiny, 100% Hasidic village and votes as a monolithic bloc.

    There is a strong expectation that residents of New Square will conform to community norms... Those who have not conformed voluntarily have faced vigilante justice, as exemplified by the New Square arson attack and other incidents.

    I'm not saying the election was clean. It never is. Red states purge voters they shouldn't, they enact laws to discourage voters and make it more difficult, etc. And sometimes it actually is a conspiracy: 2000 is one example where it really was rigged for Bush through coordinated efforts.

    But there's zero persuasive evidence for 2024. If I see some, I'll charge my mind. But not until then.

    Edit: The down votes without comment or rebuttal just prove me right.

  • Yes, but then he un-conceded. How do you think it got to the Supreme Court unless he fought?

    He brought it to the Florida circuit court, and when he lost he appealed to the Florida Supreme Court, who ruled in his favor. Then Bush appealed to the US Supreme Court.

    The problem was a coordinated effort to steal the election by the bitch queen Katherine Harris, Florida Secretary of State and Bush's Florida campaign co-chair, a fake riot by Republican operatives to disrupt a recount, and a collaborating Supreme Court. It was all tied up nicely in a bow and there wasn't much Gore could have done, although he should have requested a statewide recount right from the start instead of just cherry picking solidly Democratic-leaning counties like Miami-Dade.

  • Here's the thing, Tom. You just said a lot of things, and maybe they're true and maybe they're not, but I can't believe any of them because you're part of an administration where everyone lies continuously. And even if I did, it doesn't excuse imprisonment for life without a trial in a foreign prison for terrorists. That's literally the kind of thing that Nazis did.

  • Based on his comments and Katie Johnson's testimony, I don't believe he ever had sex with Ivanka, though he very obviously wanted to. I can imagine based on her reaction in that video that he assaulted her in some way, though, like groping.

    “Aides said [Donald Trump] talked about Ivanka Trump’s breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that once led John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter,” Taylor wrote, recalling an alleged exchange with Kelly, who served as Trump’s chief of staff between 2017 and 2019.

    “Afterward, Kelly retold that story to me in visible disgust. Trump, he said, was ‘a very, very evil man.’” source

    Trump assaulted Jill Harth repeatedly in the early 1990s. On one occasion he pulled her into Ivanka's empty room in Mar-a-Lago to try to have sex with her on Ivanka's bed. source

    Ugh. He's such a monster.

  • This was obvious after all the anti-Trump Republicans fell in line in 2016, and then did it again in 2021. Some even tried to create some space between themselves and Trump during the Biden administration, but ended up falling in line after the 2024 election.

    The idea that anyone was ever going to line up for Elon Musk, a repugnant weirdo space alien who had just spent months pissing them all off, is about as plausible as the idea that they'd line up behind Steve Bannon. They're all just useful tools in service of Trump, until they're not.

  • Character is more important than 100% ideological parity. Republican Party politicians have no values; it's a party organized around mutual benefit for the worst humanity has to offer: opportunists, morons, abusers, bullies, grifters, liars, rapists, and authoritarians. Their leader somehow embodies every single one of those qualities. Not to say Democrats are perfect by any means, but I'd rather someone own up to their mistakes and right the ship late than never at all. I'll happily count Walsh as an ally for that reason.
