https://nypost.com/2021/02/09/columnist-virginia-heffernan-blasted-for-comparing-neighbors-to-nazi-sympathizers/

Virginia Heffernan is a reporter for the LA Times who lives in upstate New York, where she has the misfortune to live next door to literal terrorists. You won't believe what her neighbors did -- during a recent massive snow storm, they plowed her driveway without even asking. Even worse, they did a great job. Virginia rightfully compared them to Hezbollah, and to Nazi sympathizers. How can the government let horrors like this happen? People shouldn't be allowed to be nice to each. There should be a law!

I honestly cannot see how people are able to watch this video and not at least pause in their Trump-defensive rhetoric.

Not for a second.

They edited a video to put the situation in the most unfavorable interpretation against Trump. I'm surprised they didn't set it to some dramatic music, and put in some of those Inception Horns.

It's no longer about equality, it's about equity.



In Biden's America, the color of your skin is more important than the content of your character. And at this point, I don't think they'd disagree.

This is awfully rich, coming from the same Susan Rice who led one of the most violent and vicious racist campaigns in recent history. In order to justify NATO's attack on Libya, Rice made the claim that Ghadaffi was recruiting black mercenaries from Chad to terrorize innocent people. As an inducement to commit rape, so the story goes, each recruit was supplied with Viagra. It's like she ripped off D.W. Griffith's Birth of a Nation and embellished it.

Shhh! You're not allowed to say anything bad about Susan Rice or you are a racist...or sexist...or some type of -ist.

I can well imagine Trump crying crocodile tears over this. "Oh, please don't go! Please, not the party splitting... .....suckers."

Very much doubt it, though. To win in the US (and outside the US), you need serious infrastructure and networks, and while in seriously bad shape, the Republican Party still has some of that stuff. Putting it in adventuring terms, one of your party members just croaked down on the ninth level, and he was carrying the +3 sword, the gauntlets of ogre power, and the gem of seeing. Who gets to rifle the corpse - Johnny Lawgood, 5th level Paladin, or Sinistro, 6th level half-orc Assassin - will be decisive in both survival and the future direction of the campaign.

This would be the video that specifically edited out Trump requesting peaceful protests.

Meanwhile, Raskin was just forced to withdraw evidence involving Mike Lee, and Eric 'Me Love Chinese Spygirls' Swalwell got caught using a photoshopped Tweet.

Good God, what a fucking farce.

No, it did not. In fact it includes his full "peaceful" plea, which anyone would know if they had watched it. Which you just demonstrated you did not. Farce indeed.

You know what's not a farce?  Bushie GOP is completely mystified that internal polling shows no drop in support for Trump by Trump voters.  Womp womp

Meanwhile the cathedral press is currently dumping the Lincoln Project overboard with a drip-drip expose on pedo leadership

LP: "this is horrible and the LP completely disavows this Co-founder.  But this is the first we're hearing about it!"

AP Narrator: "and yet it turned out there were high level discussions in LP about how to handle this issue in Summer 2020 and nothing was done"

More and more sketchy info coming out....

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/02/huge-development-hand-recount-finds-dominion-voting-machines-shorted-every-republican-windham-new-hampshire-300-votes/

OK, so one recount in New Hampshire resulted in a change of nearly 300 Republican votes. The question is, how sketchy is this? For comparison, I'd suggest the recount in the 2000 presidential election in Florida. Below is a map of the differences in votes in each county upon recount:


Source: https://www.gislounge.com/campaign-2000-the-recount/

That's four counties where the recount resulted in over 200 more votes for Gore, and almost all the counties had some change. I don't think that this inherently implies fraud, though. It seems to me pretty common for some counties to have some human error that messes up the vote. Almost no counties had no change in the map above. There are lots of recounts every year, and from what I can see, every one of them results in significant differences on a county-by-county level. The link below only includes notable recounts, but there are lots more if you include minor state and local level elections.

https://ballotpedia.org/Noteworthy_recounts_in_the_United_States

Based on this, I don't think there is any reason to claim that recount differences imply fraud programmed into voting machines.

Further, this isn't even about Dominion. From your own link:

QuoteIn New Hampshire, he noted, the AccuVote optical scanners used in all communities that have voting machines are an "older technology" and each moderator uses the device's results tape, at the end of the night, to reveal the results, on a paper "Return of Votes" form. AccuVote devices have been used for more than a quarter of a century in the state and are the only devices approved by the Ballot Law Commission.

"The device was originally manufactured by Unisys, then by Global Elections Systems Inc., which are no longer in business," Yen said. "The device used in New Hampshire is no longer being manufactured. Dominion (Voting Systems) owns the intellectual property of the AccuVote and its related election management system but does not manufacture the device."

So the devices were manufactured and purchased by New Hampshire before Dominion had any relation to it.
