If the 2020 election was stolen, then Donald Trump must be re-installed as President. It’s right there in the US Constitution, between the UFO Clause and the NWO Clause.
I don’t make the rules. |

I wonder when the next "this time for sure" Trump reinstatement date will be announced now that the last one came and went with no fanfare.

Desantis’ big win is turning into a bust as it turns out election officials thought these people could legitimately vote. So his little SWAT raids were not on die-hard cheats but on people who were entrapped by Desantis’ Byzantine election rules.

I can't keep track of where the D'Souza crap goes anymore.
A publisher abruptly recalled the "2,000 Mules" election denial book. NPR got a copy. (npr.org)

I'm interested to see how the reportage issue survives legal scrutiny. Various defendants such as Fox News are trying to escape liability for defamation by saying, in effect, "We were just reporting the newsworthy claims being made by newsworthy people, without commenting on the truth or falsity of them." What role does amplifying those claims to reach an audience of millions play in defamation? How does one's choice of guests create a responsibility? Does any news organization have a responsibility for the claims made by its sources?

I think they have a responsibility to vet the items they report, and that further to this, they're responsible for the level and kind of focus they provide. It's one thing to say, "Trump claims he won the 2020 election" with a wry smile, and another to say "Trump claims he won the 2020 election, and here's a round-table discussion with our panel of experts describing exactly how the massive voter fraud could have happened".

Jesus H Christ! The author of that book seems to seriously believe that Trump is the second coming, or some such.

Knowing what we do about human nature, it's appropriate to use Donnie as a representative of certain things.
I at first said "as a sort of representative," but then I cleaned up my language. |

Were I going to compare Trump to someone in the Bible it'd have to be the Beast of Revelation.

I bring this thread back from the dead. The Dominian lawsuit is yielding lunacy beyond the pale. This one takes the cake:

Furthermore, Carlson, Hannity and Ingraham are on record in their own text messages, that they KNEW the election fraud claims were BS, but they went ahead and broadcast that BS anyway.
https://www.theguardian.com/media/20...laura-ingraham We now know that they knowingly broadcast lies and defamatory misinformation - and that is pretty much game-over for any possible defense against the Dominion law suit... |

It says in that report that Donny was informed by his team that his election conspiracy theories were false. I don't think so. Who in that team of forelock-tugging grovelling yes-men was ever going to be brave enough to tell The Donster that his "truths" were actually 100% stinkin' lies? Nobody, I bet. Which is why he keeps on repeating them and looking even more stupid every time he does.

Pretty sure that you're being unreasonably generous here. Truth or lie doesn't matter much to Trump, by the look of it. What he thinks will gain him some advantage does. That's been seen over and over and over and is really why he's such an untrustworthy source of information.
Beyond that, though - Trump's election fraud claims were false. Here are his advisers who said so. Several aides to the former president also said they tried to tell Trump he had lost. |

Totally agree. Plus he's a tough nut to crack when he gets any stupid idea in his head too.
Quote:
For a couple of them, they may not have actually told Donny at all, it was just assumed they did due to proximity. Kushner, Mac-e-ninny... Those that were known to have "advised" him left the door open to "being wrong". Trump had excuses at the ready. They also had not only Donny's intransigence towards "losing" in any form but also insane lick-spittle maniac brown-tongues like Navarro and Giuliani to contend with who continued to supply him with "reasons" why these other associates were wrong. So they had to convince not just Trump but his attendant insane asylum. Probably impossible. In short, everyone grovelled to some extent. It appears nobody told him directly to his face he had 100% lost and there was zero chance of avoiding that outcome even with illegal tactics. So suck it up and (try to) act like a statesman and not a spoiled little brat. |

Most recent polls show that Trump is dropping in the GOP race for 2024. Meltdown on it's way.

I just saw an ad for a movie that somehow reminded me of Lindall:

He has to make every measure to stay in the game especially if he isn't nomiinated. It's the inevitable attacks on the R side he will make to split the trumplicans from the others that will hurt most.
The costs of any independent running against the established two are enormous. Donations will be squandered before he get them as his fanbois lose voting rights for Jan6 conviction. Will he surrender before spending whatever paltry sum he still has of his own? |

What I really can't understand is how anyone who purports to be a Christian sees that as anything but an incentive to burn him at the stake.
