It’s been more than a year and a half since Election Day 2020, but the lies that propelled Donald Trump’s effort to steal a second term in office aren’t going anywhere. If anything, the rabbit holes cultivated by right-wing operatives are only growing deeper and darker.
At this point, I would say we have more of a rabbit warren.
We can’t go on like this.
Zuckerbucks or sucker bucks?
These lunatics simply refuse to acknowledge/accept the fact that Biden got more votes than the DFP. That is how elections are won in this country, not by “rigging” them. Enough with the bullshit.
That’s what you think.
h/t to Beckett, Waiting for Godot.
The fruit of Citz U. There is so much money in the Right Wing bubble that they can fart along on momentum alone.
At the rallies, too. Half the people there are selling tchotchkes to the other half when not being paid directly.
Or the Blacks for Trump guy, who reminds me of a Hindu guy I went to school with - also, turns out was a cult member attached to a shooting someone is still in jail for - dang.
Apparently, Flynn and his ilk, most of 'em out of honest work, etc, have used their psyops skills on the American public now, going on for at least a half-dozen years and possibly longer. They’ve foisted anti-intellectual irrational nonsense upon the gullible and the angry bigots of this country. One must ask if these same individuals were simply waiting for an excuse to swallow the kool-aid whole cloth. Or, whether their minds simply became exhausted by the years of relentless repetition of lies, deceits, and bigotted pronouncements to the point where they just willingly joined in. Either way, it’s best if the DOJ and the various state and local prosecutors round up and put away as many of these Twisslerings as possible. Without doing such a cleaning of our body politic this cacophonous panoply of nonsense will not cease.
These curs and their whelps will be hanging like a tumor from the neck of the GOP for 50 years. I love it.
The big problem is that one major political party, the GQP, promotes these lies ALL THE TIME. This is eating away at the very fabric of our democracy.
We need to guarantee the candidate who wins the most national popular votes wins the presidency.
Every vote in every state would matter and count equally as 1 vote in the national total.
State legislators in states with 75 more electoral votes are needed to enact the National Popular Vote bill.
We also need to support professional election officials and candidates and lawmakers who support voting rights and respect election results.
The current state-by-state system of electing the President can create unnecessary recounts, lawsuits, and doubt.
The sheer magnitude of the national popular vote number, compared to individual state vote totals, is much more robust against “pure insanity,” deception, and manipulation.
Most Americans think it is wrong that the candidate with the most popular votes can lose.
We don’t allow this in any other election in our representative republic.
The bill would guarantee the majority of Electoral College votes and the presidency to the candidate who wins the most popular votes in the country.
The bill changes state statewide winner-take-all laws (not mentioned in the U.S. Constitution, but later enacted by 48 states), without changing anything in the Constitution, using the built-in method that the Constitution provides for states to make changes.
States are agreeing to award their 270+ electoral votes to the winner of the most national popular votes, by simply again changing their state’s law.
All votes would be valued equally in presidential elections, no matter where voters live.
Before states began enacting new voter suppression and election subversion laws, the system with 2020 election laws meant that the winning 2024 candidate “may need a national popular vote win of 5 percentage points or more in order to squeak out an electoral college victory” -Jacob Long
At least 19 states have passed laws that restrict the freedom to vote.

Alex Jones was at least Q-curious for a few months in 2018, but I don’t think he appreciated the competition and ended up denouncing it towards the middle of the year. Some of the other InfoWars nutjobs continued posting Q content on the website, howver.
Wow ! I didn’t realize that conspiracy theories are sooooo complicated. Reality is far more simple- a kind of Occam’s Razor if you will.
A timely article
From the research paper
The traits of the Dark Tetrad are Machiavellianism (manipulativeness and cynicism); narcissism (vanity and self-obsession); psychopathy (impulsivity and callousness); and sadism (cruelty and abusiveness). Most people have elements of some of these traits, Kay said.
“In plain terms, it seems like disagreeable people, who score high in these traits, are more likely to believe in conspiracy theories,” Kay said. “They are prone to odd beliefs. They don’t feel like they are in control of their lives. They are robbed of their agency and have an innate distrust of other people and organizations like the government.”
I apologize for the image, but it’s like he’s slathered himself with jelly and turned in for a nap in a Texas yard, then gone on about he’s tired of fire ants.
Oh, please – you think that just because DJT lost the popular vote in 2016 and never broke 40ish percent approval, he could have possibly received fewer votes than his opponent in 2020? That’s crazy talk! Much simpler to just believe whatever Sidney Powell says!
