Every one of these Trump election suits is the same gobbledygook garbage barge:

FRAUD!

It coulda happened.

Well, no, we can't prove it.

But just to be safe, best let the gerrymandered legislature give us all the electoral votes!

https://t.co/Z926668H05

 They're like SO MAD YOU GUYS that these local officials submitted grant proposals for their own cities and not the whole state. Unlegal!
Would you faint from shock if I told you that the statute which supposedly says ballot drop boxes are "so seriously in violation of the Wisconsin Election Code" doesn't actually mention drop boxes?

Maybe you should sit down.
The Trump campaign has known about the dropboxes since mid-August, but it didn't get around to suing until four weeks after the election?

Let me introduce you to my friend Doctrine O. Laches. We met THE FIRST MONTH OF LAW SCHOOL.
Can the Trump campaign interest you in some wild speculation about evil ballot harvesters taking advantage of illegal drop boxes (they're not illegal) to commit massive vote fraud?

It coulda happened! Like Jesus riding a dinosaur. Were you there???
Not for nothing, but the evilllll Wisconsin Elections Commission which supposedly enacted all these illegal voting rules is a bipartisan body made up of three Democrats and three Republicans.
Apparently the lack of info on the website about election night procedures for ballots cast via drop box is proof that they violate the Equal Protection and Due Process clauses.

No, they don't have actual information about what happened on the night of 11/3. Why do you ask?
OMG, look at these filthy sumbitches arguing with a straight face that ballots not collected and delivered to the polling place by 8pm on 11/3 are rendered illegal.

Sorry about your ballot, Nana! The truck didn't get to the registrar's office until 8:19.
The Trump campaign is GRRR SO MAD that mayors in Milwaukee, Green Bay, and Kenosha boosted their turnout. Wonder why???

Obviously, the only solution is to cancel the election.
Look, I know it's shitty to make fun of typos. But ... twice in one sentence?
They're mad that registrars looked up the addresses of witnesses and filled it in on some unspecified number of ballots.
As @AkivaMCohen pointed out yesterday, the statute says that the address has to be there for the vote to be accepted — doesn't say the registrar can't help. And anyway it's not clear if those fill-ins took place with the voter standing there in person. https://t.co/WCiSGIUQ0r
The Trump campaign accuses the Wisconsin Election Commission of unleashing "an absentee ballot free for all" and disregarding the will of the voters by ... allowing for ballot cure.

Okay.
Oh, FFS. They're mad that they mayors spent all their grant money on increasing voter turnout, and none of it on helping poll observers harass county workers doing the canvass.
Those dastardly big city mayors did it ON PURPOSE! They deliberately got everyone to vote by mail so as to overwhelm the poll watchers.

Nothing to do with covid — it's obviously a part of an evil scheme.
To be clear, the Trump campaign hasn't alleged even one single case of a fraudulent vote being case in Wisconsin. But the fraud *could have happened*, which is the same thing, right?
So there's nothing for it but for the legislature to step in and refuse to certify the election results.

Fun fact: The election was already certified two days ago. But the Trump campaign isn't big on facts, fun or otherwise.
Sorry I didn't get mad enough until 20 pages into this case to start tweeting about it. The first 15 pages were arglebargle about the orgiastic joys of federalism, with a bunch of mentions of Bush v. Gore, in case SCOTUS needs a reminder that it can ratfuck elections at will.
Followed by a heavy handed reminder that the state legislature is the election's REAL DADDY, so state officials (i.e. the Defendants) have to run the election without interpreting any laws.

Never mind that the WEC was appointed by elected officials.
Then they got real mad that election officials — you know, the ones who are supposed to tremble before the legislature — didn't harass more voters who said they were too sick to come to the polls.

GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE, NANA!
Followed by ten pages of saying that absentee voting is bad and shameful, although completely legal.
Flashback to the primary when GOP speaker Robin Vos showed up in full PPE to prove that it was totally safe to vote in person.
https://t.co/FbuJqgMr3b
Anyway, all they want is for the court to throw out the election results, which have just been confirmed by recount.

Oh, and attorneys fees. Because the state should pay the Trump campaign for the privilege of being sued.
So, will it work? Who the hell knows. Sainted Marc Elias is fighting like ten of these stupid suits, including one filed by that Krakenhead Sidney Powell.
https://t.co/pLmAjf3os7
But this suit is garbage, and they haven't managed to persuade any other federal court to toss out tens of thousands of votes and hand the election over to the legislature. So ... don't worry too much.
And forgive me, this suit was filed by Trump personally, as candidate, not by the campaign.

In my defense, I read the campaign's suit plus the Krakhead filing last night. So. Much. Stupid.

Thanks for reading. Night all!
And one more thing! For all the ominous warnings about election fraud, this is an effort to toss out 1000s of legitimate votes based on a technicality.

They're not trying to protect the integrity of the election — they just want to disenfranchise Democrats.

Night for real!

All the challenges to Leader Pelosi are coming from her right, in an apparent effort to make the party even more conservative and bent toward corporate interests.

Hard pass. So long as Leader Pelosi remains the most progressive candidate for Speaker, she can count on my support.


I agree that our party should, and must, evolve our leadership.

But changed leadership should reflect an actual, evolved mission; namely, an increased commitment to the middle + working class electorate that put us here.

Otherwise it’s a just new figure with the same problems.

I hope that we can move swiftly to conclude this discussion about party positions, so that we can spend more time discussing party priorities: voting rights, healthcare, wages, climate change, housing, cannabis legalization, good jobs, etc.

1. For people mad at Dems. Can we try to understand how politics (not justice) works? Here are some things: the Dems simply wanted the phone call information to be added to the record. They threatened to call witnesses as a negotiation tactic - thus getting the Republicans to

2. do what the Dems originally wanted - enter the phone call on the record. If witnesses were called - the trial would have gone on for weeks - in the middle of a pandemic when relief HAS to be sent out now. And Merrick Garland has to be confirmed so the DOJ can get to work.

3. However, I WANT WITNESSES CALLED. I want them to have such explosive testimony that the whole world once again knows what it knows - that Trump is guilty. I want more Republican Senators to change their mind and vote to convict. The problem is? We would NEVER GET 17 to do so.

4. It fucking SUCKS. It SUCKS that the Democrats can't just call witnesses and make the Republican Senators appear to the world even more cowardly than they were - hearing that testimony and STILL voting to acquit. BUT that's the fantasy version where the media doesn't once again

5. start blaming Dems during this fantasy-witness-calling-trial for not getting Covid relief out, etc. The issue here is that NO MATTER WHAT - if Trump himself with Jesus back from the dead as his witness says, "I did it" the Republicans will acquit. The issue is that the GOP

THREAD: 15 of the most useful razors and rules I've found.

Rules of thumb that simplify decisions.

Bezos' Razors:

• If unsure what action to take, let your 80-year-old self make it.

• If unsure who to work with, pick the person that has the best chances of breaking you out of a 3rd world prison.

Skinner's Law:

• If procrastinating on an item, you only have 2 options:

1. Make the pain of not doing it greater than the pain of doing it.

2. Make the pleasure of doing it greater than the pleasure of not doing it.

Luck Razor:

• If stuck with 2 equal options, pick the one that feels like it will produce the most luck later down the line.

I used this razor to go for drinks with a stranger rather than watch Netflix.

In hindsight, it was the highest ROI decision I've ever made.

Bragging Razor:

• If someone brags about their success or happiness, assume it’s half what they claim.

• If someone downplays their success or happiness, assume it’s double what they claim.

The map is not the terrain.

THE NOTICEABLE SIGNS OBSERVED ON IMPENDING DEATH(मृत्यु के संकेत या चिन्ह)

As per Skanda Puran, Kartikeya had narrated to Muni Agastya about the signs of the coming death. This is as per this ancient scripture.


If one experiences the air coming out of right nostril continuously then it is observed that the person dies within three years. If the breathing is continuous towards upper side from both the nostrils, then the person can die within two three days.

If the breathing is through the mouth instead of the nostrils then the person may live only for two days. The person should take into coignance these signs of the occurance of any sudden death.

As per astrology when the Surya is in the 7th house and Chandrama is in its own house and the breathing is only through the right nostril then the danger exists. If you see a yellow black coloured figure who becomes invisible immediately then the life span is limited to 2 years.

If any person sneezes, passes urine, stool and semen all together he has only a year more to live. If a person sees blue coloured snakes flying in the sky then he has only six more months to live. If a person sees any thing opposite to its real self like colours

Ivor Cummins has been wrong (or lying) almost entirely throughout this pandemic and got paid handsomly for it.

He has been wrong (or lying) so often that it will be nearly impossible for me to track every grift, lie, deceit, manipulation he has pulled. I will use...


... other sources who have been trying to shine on light on this grifter (as I have tried to do, time and again:


Example #1: "Still not seeing Sweden signal versus Denmark really"... There it was (Images attached).
19 to 80 is an over 300% difference.

Example #2 - "Yes, I'm comparing the Noridcs / No, you cannot compare the Nordics."

Great article from @AsheSchow. I lived thru the 'Satanic Panic' of the 1980's/early 1990's asking myself "Has eveyrbody lost their GODDAMN MINDS?!"


The 3 big things that made the 1980's/early 1990's surreal for me.

1) Satanic Panic - satanism in the day cares ahhhh!

2) "Repressed memory" syndrome

3) Facilitated Communication [FC]

All 3 led to massive abuse.

"Therapists" -and I use the term to describe these quacks loosely - would hypnotize people & convince they they were 'reliving' past memories of Mom & Dad killing babies in Satanic rituals in the basement while they were growing up.

Other 'therapists' would badger kids until they invented stories about watching alligators eat babies dropped into a lake from a hot air balloon. Kids would deny anything happened for hours until the therapist 'broke through' and 'found' the 'truth'.

FC was a movement that started with the claim severely handicapped individuals were able to 'type' legible sentences & communicate if a 'helper' guided their hands over a keyboard.
