Jan. 6th commission

I was promised Trumps head on a pike. What gives?!

When done right, impaling is a slow and painful process. It starts much lower and the head is the last to know.

Edit: bleh, sorry. I used to like to link an image behind a word to because it puts 1,000 words into one. How do you do this in new superfancy board mode?

I suggest the1986 miniseries Shaka Zulu for the appropriate visuals in that regard. Googling "Shaka Zulu's impalements" should do the trick.

Do you mean embed an image into the post, or embed an link into a word?
Like here?

There's a chain icon in my tool bar (on my PC). I think on my phone I have to hunt for it behind some type of 'expand' menu option.

Here's the list of Democrats who funded Republican candidates. No Senators. No one associated with the January 6th Committee.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/interactive/2022/democrat-ad-spending-republican-trump/

"...the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has become the latest party entity to aid a Trump-endorsed Republican in a contested primary"

"Democratic gubernatorial candidate and Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro..."

"In Maryland, the Democratic Governors Association..."

"In the Illinois Republican primary for governor, incumbent Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker..."

"In Colorado’s Republican Senate primary, a political action committee called Democratic Colorado..."

So while it's a terrible, underhanded, & likely to backfire tactic & the worst/most hypocritical offenders are the DCCC, it's silly to claim it in any way shape or form discredits the January 6th Committee since they have no overlapping members.

I'd like to go after the right wing shills who strayed me into the path of cringe. But that would encompass the eras around 2015-2016 years.

Thank you. I think it's mostly me fighting with my phone. It informs me simultaneously that I have a fancy shmancy 5G connection and almost no internet.

Mine too! Funny how that works innit

 

[Farm Boy]

At the moment, it's not pretending the connection is good, but it's working. So yeah, go figure.

 

[Sommerswerd]

Just play phoneapp games that demand you spend money. Those always seem to work... for some reason.

 

[Farm Boy]

Gonna crush all the candies!

Newly obtained surveillance video shows fake Trump elector escorted operatives into Georgia county's elections office before voting machine breach​

(CNN)A Republican county official in Georgia escorted two operatives working with an attorney for former President Donald Trump into the county's election offices on the same day a voting system there was breached, newly obtained video shows.
The breach is now under investigation by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and is of interest to the Fulton County District Attorney, who is conducting a wider criminal probe of interference in the 2020 election.
The video sheds more light on how an effort spearheaded by lawyers and others around Trump to seek evidence of voter fraud was executed on the ground from Georgia to Michigan to Colorado, often with the assistance of sympathetic local officials.

Email reveals Trump campaign told fake electors in Georgia to use 'complete secrecy'

In the surveillance video, which was obtained by CNN, Cathy Latham, a former GOP chairwoman of Coffee County who is under criminal investigation for posing as a fake elector in 2020, escorts a team of pro-Trump operatives to the county's elections office on January 7, 2021, the same day a voting system there is known to have been breached.

The two men seen in the video with Latham, Scott Hall and Paul Maggio, have acknowledged that they successfully gained access to a voting machine in Coffee County at the behest of Trump lawyer Sidney Powell.
Text messages, emails and witness testimony filed as part of a long-running civil suit into the security of Georgia's voting systems show Latham communicated directly with the then-Coffee County elections supervisor about getting access to the office, both before and after the breach. One text message, according to the court document, shows Latham coordinating the arrival and whereabouts of a team "led by Paul Maggio" that traveled to Coffee County at the direction of Powell.
Three days after the breach, Latham texted the Coffee County elections supervisor, "Did you all finish with the scanner?" According to court documents, Latham testified she did not know what Hall was doing in Coffee County. But when confronted with her texts about the scanner, she asserted her Fifth Amendment rights.

So you are saying that trump was right, the election was rigged and the machines are insecure?

 

[AmazonQueen]

So you are saying that trump was right, the election was rigged and the machines are insecure?

Well this breach occurred 2 months after the election. I imagine (hope!) security was tighter on 3rd November.

 

[EgonSpengler]

So you are saying that trump was right, the election was rigged and the machines are insecure?

Well, iirc, just about every instance of election tampering that Trump and his supporters say they're so worried about were perpetrated by Trump and his supporters.

I can't remember where or when this was, but I remember reading that in one of the many tests run to detect election fraud, the only instances of fraud the investigators found were the test-ballots they themselves had submitted to test the system.

This is why it's called the Iron Law of right-wing projection

 

[Birdjaguar]

Sidney Powell has her fingers in so much of the Trump's dirty work. Jail time might help reset her attitude.

 

[EgonSpengler]

This is why it's called the Iron Law of right-wing projection

Indeed, the Revolutionary Right can't appear to be the ones overthrowing the government, they have to make it look like they didn't start it. People, left and right, feel justified in doing something unethical if they think someone else is already doing it.

 

[El_Machinae]

Constantly accusing the other of malfeasance is really effective, because it has two effects: The 'other' side is overly cautious, for fear of being misperceived. And the sociopathish people on your side feel justified in cheating in order to 'balance things out'.

Edit: I guess there's a self-reflection warning in there, too. But I really do think people should be ready for maximum efforts against Trump, if not already.

 

[Farm Boy]

Yep! Like all the states that are the party of the rich being the net beneficiaries of taxes because their fundamental goods and services are simultaneously the problem, the shortage, and undervalued.

Sometimes the long cons are so good people forget they are cons.
