Well Bubba didn't know about the 1950's McCarthy Period and falsely claimed "communists" filled up USA universities in the 1970's during the first nuclear weapon limitation treaties......which is hilarious.

Most imaginative, as usual.

None of it is true.

Soooooo..... you were lying again when you claimed communists were filling up USA colleges in the 1970's?

What about your next lie? What date in August did the Chairman of the Federal Election Commission make that quote Bubba?

Yes, but the media has been projecting the winner for just about ever. It's not a scam, it is what it is, and both sides take advantage. Which is why I asked your age, because it's as if you've never seen it before. Again, in 2016 Kellyanne Con tweeted "Landslide." long before there was an electoral college confirmation. Was that a scam? It's been that way for a long time, and if you don't know that, you are either very young, very naive, or just plain out of touch.

Quote:

Joseph Raymond McCarthy (November 14, 1908 – May 2, 1957) was an American politician who served as a Republican U.S. Senator from the state of Wisconsin from 1947 until his death in 1957. Beginning in 1950, McCarthy became the most visible public face of a period in the United States in which Cold War tensions fueled fears of widespread communist subversion.[1] He is known for alleging that numerous communists and Soviet spies and sympathizers had infiltrated the United States federal government, universities, film industry,[2][3] and elsewhere. Ultimately, the smear tactics that he used led him to be censured by the U.S. Senate. The term "McCarthyism", coined in 1950 in reference to McCarthy's practices, was soon applied to similar anti-communist activities. Today, the term is used more broadly to mean demagogic, reckless, and unsubstantiated accusations, as well as public attacks on the character or patriotism of political opponents.[4][5]

Born in Grand Chute, Wisconsin, McCarthy commissioned into the Marine Corps in 1942, where he served as an intelligence briefing officer for a dive bomber squadron. Following the end of World War II, he attained the rank of major. He volunteered to fly twelve combat missions as a gunner-observer, acquiring the nickname "Tail-Gunner Joe". Some of his claims of heroism were later shown to be exaggerated or falsified, leading many of his critics to use "Tail-Gunner Joe" as a term of mockery.[6]

[Gorgonian]

I watched it so you don't have to.

So the Hillary quote about conceding lacks context. There is no context in what they showed about what she is even talking about. Does she mean concede the election if he loses? Does she mean concede an inch in the campaign battle? There's a long battle ahead also lacks context. It makes much more sense, without the context, for her to be talking about the campaign, not a lost election scenario.


EDIT TO ADD:
I went searching for some context for her quote. In this article:

https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/nat...ances/2393144/

there is a bit of clarification of the context for the quote:


--
“Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances, because I think this is going to drag out, and eventually I do believe he will win if we don't give an inch, and if we are as focused and relentless as the other side is,” Clinton said in an interview with her former communications director Jennifer Palmieri for Showtime's “The Circus,” which released a clip Tuesday.

The 2016 Democratic presidential nominee predicted that among several scenarios, Republicans are going to try to “mess up absentee balloting” so that they could get a potentially narrow advantage in the Electoral College.

“We've got to have a massive legal operation, I know the Biden campaign is working on that,” she said. “We have to have poll workers, and I urge people, who are able, to be a poll worker. We have to have our own teams of people to counter the force of intimidation that the Republicans and Trump are going to put outside polling places. This is a big organizational challenge, but at least we know more about what they're going to do.”
--

So she's talking about exactly what actually happened, which is what everyone knew was going to happen: Trump trying to discount the absentee ballots because he knew in-person voting would favor him. Her comment not to concede was about election night when it looked like Trump could win because of the in-person advantage. Then, there was a long road ahead of waiting out the counting procedures and the stupid legal challenges.

So, she was right on the money and not at all saying anything that would support the stupid theory Bubba is promoting.

Shocking.

Tip for the future: grabbing sound bites and trying to use them as vague evidence that someone supports your idea is usually bad policy, especially if you don't verify the context beforehand.

[Meadmaker]

I'm still curious about that FEC Chairman quote about voter fraud. Now that I know that it's from August, some parts of the story make more sense to me. However, it still leaves a gigantic question.

What was he talking about? It seems like it's a real quote about a real election. From the video clips I saw it doesn't seem to be out of context, at least not grossly so. In other words, it seemed to be a sincere allegation of actual election fraud.

Did the chairman of the FEC actually say that? And was there any basis for his allegation?



(I'll goggle it myself, but I suspect there are people who are more familiar with this already.)

I've just had a look, and there is an interview with a guy called Trey Trainor, who is a FEC. He does actually say the election is illegitimate. However, as always, context is everything.
They are looking at a video of the counting process, and speculating about what they think they can see. It's about moving the counting boxes back, and he says that, if that has happened, then the count is compromised, and that he does believe that has happened.
As far as I can tell, this is just based on his interpretation of the video he's watching, and seems to be his personal opinion, rather than an official conclusion. The news item is titled 'allegations' as well, to emphasise that that's what these are- allegations.
It's also worth noting that the guy is a Trump campaign lawyer. His personal opinion needs to be considered in that light.

I saw that video clip.

It seems like the typical sort of irresponsible comment that one might expect from a Trump appointee. A decent human being would comment something along the lines of "This seems like a very serious item and suggests the need for some investigation, but I can't comment further without a greater understanding of the situation. I will be (doing whatever it is the FEC does) to investigate this to ensure that all US elections are administered fairly and accurately." Instead, he shoots off his mouth based on a few seconds of video and questions the legitimacy of an election.

That's not what I want from my executive branch of government. And 67 days from now, things will get better.

[JayUtah]

The Federal Election Commission is empowered only to enforce campaign finance laws. They have absolutely nothing to do with counting ballots or running elections. The FEC Chairman's opinion about whether ballots are being counted properly or whether fraud occurred has absolutely nothing to do with his job or the duties of the commission. It's just another Trump toadie misusing his office to stir up meaningless doubt.

OK, a little update on this whole SCYTL thing. It has blown wide open since I first saw reference to it in a CNN YT comment section last night! Apparently, Congressman Louie Gohmert is the originator of this story.

Quote:

The Texas lawmaker said in an interview with Newsmax TV that US military forces seized the company’s server in Frankfurt, Germany. Gohmert said there are some who believe it’s U.S. intelligence “that manipulated all this” to cover themselves.

https://greatgameindia.com/us-milita...scytl-germany/

And it looks like attorney Lin Wood is going all in.

Quote:

In a Tweet, Lin Wood, a Trump team lawyer posted the following message on his Twitter; “Biden & his criminal cronies are not going to sleep well tonight. Well, Biden might because he probably forgot the name Scytl. His co-conspirators know name well. They also know the name Paragon, a company which purchased Scytl in 10/20. Every will be revealed.”

Oh, wow- I did not know that.
Well that does rather change things, doesn't it?
What say you, Bubba? Credibility somewhat undermined, I think. Got any actual evidence of voter fraud in Georgia?

Thus demonstrating your usual lack of research, then.
Do you accept that the FEC Chairman's opinion on electoral fraud here is of no relevance, given that this opinion is not based on his actual job?

Yes, of course.
Does that mean the election is a fraud? No, at least not from what he said.

Do you allow Hillary Clinton to have an opinion?

https://www.ptnewsnetwork.com/fact-c...ing-and-fraud/

Indeed!

https://heavy.com/news/scytl-server-germany-raid/

"During the alleged raid, the company’s servers were removed, Gohmert said. Heavy has been unable to find the original tweet but has seen screenshots. Gohmert admits, “I don’t know the truth,” before referencing the alleged raid. The congressman was unable to provide any proof that the raid took place."

So, no evidence.

There are some huge red flags in this story.

Firstly, there is no way that US military forces would have raided any business in Germany, not even in a combined operation with German Forces. Any such raid would have been carried out by the Deutsche Bundespolizei (German Federal Police), the German equivalent of the FBI. Germany has similar constitutional restrictions that the US has with regards to military personnel being used in civilian matters, except that in Germany, it is strictly and rigidly enforced (they learned the lesson a few decades ago about what can happen when you let the military loose on the streets).

Secondly, there is no evidence this raid even took place - no news reports, no video, no reports at all coming out of Germany other than one tweet, in German, from a German twitter account. All the reports claiming this really happened are only to be found on right wing Trump sycophant sites.

Thirdly, it is very rare for a big company to have its servers located in their own headquarters, and SCYTL is no different. Their servers are spread across at least three data centres in Frankfurt;

Equinix FR5 in Kleyerstrasse
Equinix FR1 in Taubenstrasse
Equinix Rechenzentrum in Kruppstrasse

At least, these three are the only ones I was able to locate, there could be more. In order to "seize" the company's severs, these alleged raids would have needed to be at all three of these data centres, possibly more. That would have gained HUGE attention from the German media. So far.... crickets...

It is not merely my opinion that the U.S. Federal Election Committee's authority is limited to investigating and enforcing only laws relating to the financing of elections. That is simply an easily verified fact, despite a widespread incorrect belief that it has a broader mandate or authority. In the manner of choosing Presidential electors, the states have sovereign authority.

Quote:

Sounds like he might reject the FEC Chairman's opinion.

I have no comment on the substance of Mr Trainor's opinion because I neither know nor care what it is. What I reject is is the insinuated premise that the FEC, either as a body or in the person of its Chairman, has any authority to render a finding on how states process ballots that carries any official weight, or indeed is any better informed than an ordinary person's.

Quote:

Do you allow the FEC Chairman to have an opinion?

Irrelevant. The Federal Election Commission Act doesn't allow the commission to have an official opinion on ballot integrity.

Mr Trainor, the private citizen, can form whatever opinion he wants regarding whether states are processing ballots securely. It has no more official weight than my opinion or yours. If he's trying to deliver it under color of his office, that would be improper use of the office.

The FEC Chairman, in his official capacity, can form and render opinions only in the areas that statute grants him and his commission that authority and discretion. Ballot-counting integrity is not one of those areas. In fact, no office of the federal executive has authority or oversight into how states count ballots for Presidential electors.

You might argue that Mr Trainor's opinion, whatever it may be, is better informed by virtue of his office. That argument would also be unsupported by fact. The FEC conducts its business almost exclusively with the campaign organizations. It has no business with the state and local officials who actually operate the elections. It has no authority to obtain information on ballot counting that isn't freely available already to anyone else. It has no authority to monitor or oversee ballot operations, nor any ongoing requirement to know any more about them than what is common knowledge. Balloting simply does not form any part of what the FEC is concerned with.

Mr Trainor has no greater expertise by virtue of his chairmanship than any one else on that subject. In fact, less these days. The FEC currently lacks a quorum and hence has been unable to conduct any investigations for quite some time. The FEC has essentially stopped obtaining information, even in areas where it's permitted by statute to collect it. There is no reason to suppose his personal opinion is any better informed than mine.

[JayUtah]

The Federal Election Commission Act is not a state secret. Anyone can read it and discover for themselves the subject matter on which the FEC is empowered to investigate, judge, and bring charges if needed. It is strictly limited to the financing of campaigns for federal office. And to carry out that duty, the FEC's near-exclusive attention is on campaigns, campaign officials, PACs, and donors. Nothing it does has anything to do with election officials, balloting practices, or the certification of elections.

Unless you can provide more justification than one-word denials, I see no reason to accept Mr Trainor's uninformed, personal opinion as having any more weight or relevance than anyone else's.

[Bubba]

I see Jay has confirmed the fact his opinion conflicts with the FEC Chairman's opinion, wasting clouds of hot air claiming with a big if that Trainor's title somehow undermines his right to express this opinion of his.

Earlier it was 'because I dislike Trump'....now it is 'because blah blah blah'


A a private citizen, Jay has a right to form whatever opinion he wishes.

Here, for your ongoing education...

https://ballotpedia.org/Federal_Election_Commission

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is an independent regulatory agency created by Congress in 1975 to administer and enforce the Federal Elections Campaign Act. The FEC is responsible for disclosing campaign finance information, enforcing limits and prohibitions on contributions, and overseeing the public funding of presidential elections

If you believe that information comes from somewhere, you're the one who has to tell us. You apparently expected us to believe that the FEC Chairman would be more authoritative than usual about balloting practices. That expectation ignores what his job really is.

Quote:

And therefore it's possible that my opinion is more or less as informed as his on the subject of state balloting practice. Except I'm not presenting any opinion on that subject, or noting whether it may disagree with anyone else's opinion, or asking it to be taken as dispositive or in any way official to some mandate.

In contrast, you're the one telling us that we can't seriously question the opinion of the FEC Chairman on a matter outside the scope of his office. The burden of proof is yours to establish the foundation for his proffered expertise in balloting and electoral fraud. If you are unwilling, then your source is dismissed as irrelevant.

Quote:

Irrelevant. His opinion on any balloting practice in any election has no more weight than any other layman's until such time as you establish a foundation for it that isn't simply to cite his irrelevant title.

There is nothing left -- no hope for Trump to ever be elected again. He's being judged as the biggest jackass in American political history, even as I speak. He will erode like a stain, and be gone. The sooner the better.
