I was coming here to post the same thing! I heard him on the radio and he was so professional, and funny! I was very impressed.

Quite delightful.

I cringed reading an article about her when I saw that she believes in the gold standard. I didn’t even read the article further because that alone should disqualify her.

Looks like Georgia is going to certify the election for Biden. Progress!

The hand audit they just finished doesn’t count as an official recount, so now that it’s certified, the Trump campaign can request one and waste more time.

If it keeps him busy doing something that doesn’t involve the military, I’m all for it.

I don’t care for romance novels (I don’t think…?) but this is AWESOME.

I talked to Kid-2 and daughter-in-law yesterday. They confirmed that they still haven’t received their ballots where they’re stationed in Italy. They haven’t managed to get ballots on time for any election in the 3 years they’ve been overseas. Disenfranchisement of military voters is a big problem.

To be fair…lots of people have died for democracy, and as a veteran I have definitely spent my fair share of time contemplating being called to defend it.

If there actually existed a huge conspiracy that was stealing the election, I can see this point of view. I don’t find it terrifying that people feel that way about truth and democracy. I do find it terrifying that they are buying into THIS false narrative, and being encouraged in this vein by the party leaders.

The Republican Party of Arizona KNOWS there is no fraud.
They are trying to rally people to die to prevent a legitimate election’s result.

The national party has had no comment.
They are all a bunch of cowards.

Granted, but he did specify “for this fight.” Under the user name. Stop The steal.

I mean, if you have a firmly held belief it is stolen, then it fits great into a democracy.

The issue is why a state party is supporting this narrative…
