This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Keep it up, you crazy motherfucker!

Unlike you, keeping it up isn't a problem for me.


When everything settles your reality is going to be shattered...and you'll probably hole up somewhere in eternal denial drinking your own piss (literally).

Really? My somewhere happens to have a jacuzzi and I prefer tequila for my drinking. You have to cuck for the Coronapanic for a paycheck. I don't. I steer my own company and business is good (and built to be "recession proof" after learning my lessons from the Obama years).

My reality shattered? How droll. My "reality" is that regardless of this election's outcome, the culture war accelerates in viciousness and divisiveness. A second Trump term can hold of the inevitable destruction off America for a few years, but nothing short of civil war or balkanization can solve the underlying problems. 

Furthermore, the most strident voices on the left have no patience for a "moderate" Biden and they will become unhinged unless swiftly appeased...at which point they will demand more...

Yes HappyDaze, it's surely "batshit crazy" to imagine that the 2020 election would lead to greater social division and overheating of the culture war!! Who would think of such nonsense? LOL.

What is "batshit crazy" is imagining that Biden (who couldn't fill a gym with supporters) and Kamala (who dropped out with 1% support in the primaries) will enjoy the approval of the most vocal and aggressive leftists when their "presidency" doesn't deliver communism swiftly.

You are fucking delusional.

So true! I keep seeing math that is statistically impossible. Math that dozens of experts have repeatedly proved isn't in the realm of reality and involves hundreds of thousands of votes in multiple states.

Not stories. Not conjecture. Not rumors. Math.

It's no wonder why leftists hate math so much.

The proof will be when the Court doesn't even bother to hear the cases because they are such obvious bullshit.

I guess 250+ people are going to get charged with perjury and Sidney Powell is going to lose every dime she has in Dominion's massive defamation lawsuit!!

The fun part doesn't involve the Court. When Sidney files her lawsuit, she will be filing her evidence and the affidavits into the public record for everyone to see, read and discuss. That's her make or break moment.
 
It's one thing for Rudy to flap his lips (and leak his hair gel) for $20k/day, but Sidney is pro bono. If she has no Kraken, her impeccable reputation will be destroyed and she'll face lawsuits and probable disbarment.

She'd have to be a totally crazy person...except she's the person whose dismantled "impossible" cases repeatedly in her career and now, she has access to massive crowdsourced support and whistleblowers.

Of course, I agree that the USSC might ignore the fraud. That's absolutely possible, but that only accelerates the civil war and/or balkanization timetable.

Hey, I'm more than willing to see what case she presents, but in the meantime I'll laugh my ass off at those that, without seeing her supposed evidence, bleat out that she has the secrets of the universe at the ready. She might as well claim that she has an actual, living kraken for as much as she's shown. Sure, she's holding her cards close, blah, blah, whatever. Let's see what she really has...and how the REEEE of the Trumplanders will go off to spin it into something more than it is.

BTW, leafykitty, you REEEE real good!

Most of the affidavits are just supporting claims which are not in themselves evidence of fraud. It's things like "they made me stand 30 feet away from X". Not a perjury, just also not fraud.

Sidney Powell is fucking nuts and everyone is backing away from her right now. Dominion isn't likely to sue an attorney fro defamation, they will just win the day in court each time. You don't need to sue someone for defamation every time they act like a nutcase conspiracy theorist about your company, you just need to win the cases. Which they will.

The truth is likely Powell is just vying for publicity on her next book deal, and then a featured spot on Trumps future network.

You made the claim about the Supreme Court dumb dumb! And that is all that counts for this election. Nobody will give a shit about these issues beyond this election. Only the nutter conspiracy theorists will still talk about it later.

This is an odd one:
https://www.wsj.com/articles/chinese-dissidents-back-trumps-claims-of-election-fraud-11606057766

A lot of Chinese dissidents are saying the US election was rigged, and are supporting Trump. One of their biggest criticisms was aimed at the TV networks who cut off Trump's post-election news conference, which they said reminded them of censorship in China.

Most of the affidavits are just supporting claims which are not in themselves evidence of fraud.

According to the reports, numerous affidavits are people alleging voter tampering, such as stacks of pristine unfolded ballots with perfect black circles for Biden being processed repeatedly. If untrue, these people have perjured themselves and defamed the election workers. That's separate from the affidavits from observers who were not allowed to observe properly.

Of course, the question becomes WHY were the observers not allowed to observe? To which, there's no viable answer except the vote counters did NOT want to be observed. Which leads us to question WHY did the vote counters not want to be observed? And that answer is obvious. The vote counters were doing something they did not want any observers to see.


Sidney Powell is fucking nuts and everyone is backing away from her right now.

We will soon learn if "Sidney Powell is fucking nuts" for the first time in her entire highly regarded and successful career.

If she's telling the truth, it makes sense she must act apart from the Trump campaign which, by the nature of Trump running as a Republican, makes his campaign part of the Republican apparatus.

To tear Republicans a plethora of brand new assholes, Sidney would of course need to be independent from their apparatus. Based on the statements of both Lin Wood and Sidney Powell, they are planning on exposing election fraud and corruption involving both parties.

We will see.

I don't have access to her "Kraken" evidence, only to the statistical data that's been posted online which shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that something is very, very wrong with this election and all the "errors" benefit Biden.


Dominion isn't likely to sue an attorney fro defamation, they will just win the day in court each time.


We live in the most litigious time in history and Sidney's statements have unleashed hell on their company and made their employees and ex-employees pariah, if not targets for violence. And they aren't going to make an example out of her?


Nobody will give a shit about these issues beyond this election. Only the nutter conspiracy theorists will still talk about it later.

Somebody found Hunter's crack pipe!

Kennedy's assassination has been a hot topic for 60 years. The moon landing is still debated along with the flat earth and creationism. And somehow the 2020 election fraud which has untold reams of evidence of anomalies (all going in Biden's direction) and numerous bad actors is just going to go POOF???

LOL. I'm not sure if even HappyDaze is dumb enough to believe that one.

You mean like the "ordinary Obama presidency" which skyrocketed the culture war and social divisions? And Obama didn't talk 1/10th the anti-American crazy we've heard out of Democrats in 2020.

You brought up a good point regarding Trump's News channel. Whether he starts one (or buys one) in 2021 or 2025, Trump will be a media star post-Presidency and he will be intensely focused to promote his legacy and vision for America.

If Trump owned Parler and Newsmax (or their equivalents), is there any doubt that he'd have an audience reach of 35 million? That's half his voters.

Let's face facts. We have two incompatible cultures in America and there is ZERO reason to believe that Biden will unite anything and EVERY reason to believe Biden's handlers will accelerate the culture war by demanding greater submission from dissenters....and Trump will be cheering on our dissent and rebellion to you and your kind. 

A house divided cannot stand.

Does that guarantee civil war? In the history of humanity, violence before separation has been very common, sometimes minor skirmishes, but quite often outright civil war - most especially when there's economic strife.

It's ludicrous to believe the USA is immune to the historical realities of mankind. That's why its best to start discussions for a peaceful separation before the shooting starts.

Spinachcat - Do you have a link to something that shows the data along the method and its sources? I looked over a Redstate.com article earlier in this thread, which had a bunch of statistics but no explanation of its sources or methods.

Well, if they've got statistics, I'm sure they have the lies and damn lies to back them up.

For 4 years all people heard was: "ELECTION WAS RIGGED!!!", "TRUMP IS A FRAUD!!!", "HIS SUPPORTERS MUST BE DEALT WITH!", "BURN DOWN AMERICA!!! NO MORE LAW AND ORDER!! DESTROY!".

Now all people hear is: "USA HAS NO ELECTION FRAUD EVAR!", "BIDEN IS A GENIUS!", "TRUMP'S SUPPORTERS MUST BE DEALT WITH BECAUSE THEY ARE HURTING AMERICA'S IMAGE ABOUT THE ELECTION!!!", "ELECTION FRAUD IS A MYTH!", "WE'LL BURN DOWN AMERICA ANYWAY!!! NO MORE LAW AND ORDER!! DESTROY!".
People here are at least reasonable... (yeah, right!)
Yeah. Sounds like reasonable people. Sounds legit.  :-*

I have seen numerous articles, but I do not have link with a master list. I will try to backtrack to the better articles that had the data presented - particularly the datadumps related to the sudden spikes in votes on the morning of Nov 4th.

I do know Matt Braynard's name has shown up in several articles and this is his "final analysis" video with details from his Voter Integrity Project. It's a lengthy discussion (I don't enjoy podcasts) and I am waiting for his white paper promised next week.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH9ihoLi1NA&feature=emb_logo

Hopefully, the white paper will link to the raw data so other people can examine his findings and verify his results. For any voter integrity to be valuable long term, we need the raw data publicly available for multiple researchers to confirm, deny or question the analysis.

And your REEEE represents the limits of your vocabulary,  you sad sack of shit.

That's pathetic even for you. Try harder.

But you managed alliteration so perhaps not all hope is lost.
