These websites are just people making cash off Trump hysteria.  Trump is the key to the future of the the RNC.  He's activated a base that is wasn't politically active before.  Young disenfranchised people mainly.  Especially considering the bulk of the hardcore republicans used to be old people who will keep dying out.  People who believe everything he says and disbelieve his enemies.  Frankly his "fake news" angle was brilliant.  I'm no democrat.  Biden is a corrupt politician but I'm glad he won.  Now Trump can't embarrass himself and the nation behind a whitehouse podium. I can't wait for his new Trump TV network.  Will you guys be tuning in?  Simps.

Remember the video of the postal worker who says he helped commit fraud to help Biden, posted earlier in this thread? You know, the one that Project Veritas was all over?

Yeah, he admits now he made the whole thing up. Link

Gee, who could have possibly seen that coming? Oh right.

$10 says he is full of shit.

But *never* Bezos's blog or the Carlos Slim Times, amirite?!  Trump's been a Russian agent since 1983! 

"Losing" has never been this much fun.  Everywhere the gaslighting machine plants its flag, it gets shit on its face.  It is very upset that people don't uncritically believe certain things anymore, as this is apparently necessary for democracy as they envision it.

Meanwhile Biden voters can't stop wailing about a sense of impending doom.

And the Left keeps reminding the Lincoln Project it didn't even promise to eat them last, as envisioned.

And that's what we all should be doing!

Why argue with bitter shrew spergs that demand "proof"?  No one *here* could have it at this point and they know that very well.  Engaging them on that ground is the single solitary ground on earth weaker than that which they occupy; it's the epitome of bad faith in their part

Laugh at them.  anyone here allied with the NYT crowd can not win. They have no victim hierarchy points.  It doesn't matter what happens next.  Even if every fear of the Trumpian right comes to pass in a mad max hunger games, they end up locked in the same gulag as...us.  After we've already taken the good bunks

If we win, they're out in the cold with only progressive women for solace

That's some fine political acumen, right there.  Enjoy "but that's not how this is supposed to work" wailed repeatedly in the near future by a class of men that make Gollum look like General Anthony McAuliffe.

The line that the postal worker recanted came out of Adam 'shifty' Schiff's office. Some of you should know better than that.

The Left and those friends who I know are Leftists are not making a good showing.

No matter what one can show them 1000 instances of voter fraud and it's not going to matter. Since it goes against the carefully constructed personal narratives about hating Trump. Nothing and I mean nothing can go against the narrative.

A few of my friends who should know better on Facebook got on my case when I pointed out the hypocrisy of both the media and Biden supporters at the lack of any proper social distancing and quarantining when they were celebrating Biden win on the weekend.

Essentially I was called out for being a bad person "but sureshot it's ok they all have masks". When the fucking media the same fucking FB posters kept and keep saying how bad Trump handled the Covid-19 situation. But hey at least the favored candidate won and masks are supposed to make one 100% proof against the virus. So Biden winning means not having to do any social distancing.

Both sides Right and Left hate when the narrative is not followed. The leftist come out looking like fucking absolute hypocrites though.

This won't be evidence to the evidence crowd either, but its a very interesting account from a contract worker for dominion on her experience assisting poll workers on election night.  She also is putting it in an affidavit (affidavit shown at about 18 min), and she makes specific accusations against people who could sue the hell out of her if she were lying.

The link below starts about 2.5 min into the video, after all the intro non-story stuff, when it gets to the actual interview.

  Isnt there a crime commission theory along the lines of when you catch a criminal they have committed somewhere between 7-10 times that amount of crimes prior to getting caught.....

Affidavits from named people putting their reputations on the line are total horseshit compared to nebulous allegations from an unnamed source who overheard a conversation of someone else talking about a telephone call they overheard across the room. Gosh!

Sounds reasonable to me. It's not like drug dealers and thieves typically have only committed a single act before they're caught; probably countless crimes they committed before the cops were ever aware of any wrongdoing.

  "American Values" seem to be extremely malleable, and I am getting a bit tired of one side always telling me what is or is not "American". Due process was "American" now it is not.  Accepting election results is "American Values", but before dissent was "American Values" I think people better harken back to 1776 and remember what is most American.

The Secretary of State of Georgia has ordered a hand recount of all votes in the state. Since it's manual, this'll reveal if there's a problem with the software. Most recounts are of a couple thousand votes, so the scale is also remarkable. Biden's lead is 14,000 out of almost 5,000,000 votes.

Edit: Okay, they're sorting them by hand, and then running them through a machine to count them. Which seems to defeat the purpose.
