The CEO of the lead contractor in Arizona Senate’s “audit” of 2020 election results appeared in a conspiracy theory film about the election that premiered Saturday, one asserting that Donald Trump’s second term in office was stolen via a rigged election.
Well, you know, when a former president talks in a sober, well-considered manner about the events of the day, it’s bound to have a ripple effect. And it’s the same with crazy-ass deranged bullshit like this:
CYBER NINJA’S STATISTICAL METHOD FOR GQP ELECTION ANALYSIS
0 / go to AZ first because those Republicans are the dumbest;
1 / throw dart;
2 / draw target around arrow;
3 / declare bullseye;
4 / lather, rinse, repeat for all other gullible states with dark-money funding for similar neoConfederate nonsense.
The director used to make documentaries about aliens and literal space Nazis and a dude who lived on the Moon for a couple decades before being age-regressed to fit back into Earth.
This audit is going to result in further convincing Republican voters that elections are rigged against them, even by their own party. No matter what the outcome is, the GOP base is heavily invested in it somehow magically overturning the election. When that doesn’t happen, it’ll be further confirmation that the fix is in. I really don’t see how that helps them at all. It’s not even pretext for voter suppression laws anymore. The GOP is long past giving a damn about creating the thin veneer of justification for anything they do.
IS there any authority that can shut down this scam audit?
WHO?
Without the consent of local Republicans who rule rather than govern, IS there any authority?
Bundy got off scot free for violations no one can deny.
Is this one of those events, there really IS no authority but authoritarians and they won’t enforce any existing laws but the ones they like.
Am I confused if I think there are laws to stop this, just no authority powerful enough to enforce it over the whims of local strongmen?.
Various medical experts estimate roughly 400,000 of the 600,000 U.S. dead from COVID could have been saved if Trump had handled the pandemic competently and with an extreme sense of urgency and honesty.
Trump gets my vote for the crime of the century so far.
William Barr has been a Republican for 40 years and done TONS of shady shit, hiding emails, writing dishonest summaries of the Mueller report, hiding things from Iran/Contra. Trump doesn’t like one thing he does and all of a sudden he’s a RINO. What a maroon.
At this point, I think it benefits us and weakens Republicans the longer this scam continues. These guys aren’t the gang that couldn’t shoot straight, they’re the gang who think pointy fingers are as good as a gun.
