Arizona's Bogus Election Audit: Where There's Smoke There's Fire!

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"If you haven't figured out the election in Maricopa County was free, fair and accurate yet, I'm sure you never will. The reason you haven't finished your 'audit' is because you hired people who have no experience and little understanding of how professional elections are run."
"The Board has real work to do and little time to entertain this adventure in never-never land. Please finish whatever it is that you are doing and release whatever it is you are going to release," he added. "There was no fraud, there wasn't an injection of ballots from Asia nor was there a satellite that beamed votes into our election equipment."
"Release your report and be prepared to defend any accusations of misdeeds in court. It's time to move on."

Do you think a Trumptoid will understand that? Nah!...

DeSantis: "Our Hospitals Are Open For BUSINESS"!

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Florida has become the epicenter of covid outbreaks in the USA. It just broke its previous day's record by recording 11,515 hospitalizations due to COVID-19 on Tuesday. DeSantis response: "And when they talk about hospitalizations, our hospitals are open for business.”. Er ah, that's NOT the kind of business you want to have and it's akin to saying our McDonald's are open for business as well. According to DeSantis, the outbreak is "seasonal." Er, ah, we don't have Delta seasons and this is the first and hopefully the only time we'll experience it even though that's a long shot, given the response of Republicans in general and of the "governor" in particular. I don't know who's worse, him, Noem or Abbott...

Rare consensus

Al Franken must be kicking himself in the head.

While I understand the findings, and agree with the editorials, I think your statement regarding Al Franken is an understatement. Trump has had multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, including rape, lodged against him and I and others are still waiting for a similar investigation and outcry in his case.

I do note the darling conservative judge of Faux news, Andrew Napolitano, formerly a top legal analyst at the network, "sexually harassed numerous young male employees during his tenure at Fox News," according a lawsuit filed by Fox Business production assistant John Fawcett. So, he is out of Faux news and joins the list of several others at the network who are out for the same reason of sexual harassment.

You may not like "his toady brother" but he's not in the same boat as the rest...

No, if he doesn't quit, I think he'll be impeached...

Trump Election Fraud Lawyers Eat It In Colorado...

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Lawyers who attempted a class action lawsuit claiming voter fraud in the 2020 election were sanctioned by a federal judge in Colorado on Wednesday for the frivolous, meritless case, a major condemnation of pro-Donald Trump allies' attempts to use the courts to vet right-wing conspiracies.
The attorneys -- Gary D. Fielder and Ernest John Walker -- that filed the election lawsuit in late December 2020 in Colorado federal court now must pay attorneys fees for Facebook, Dominion Voting Systems, the states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Wisconsin, and the non-profit Center for Tech and Civic Life, all of which were named as defendants in the lawsuit, Magistrate Judge N. Reid Neureiter ruled.
Neureiter wrote a scathing 68-page opinion condemning the post-election lawsuit, calling it an "enormous conspiracy theory" and potentially defamatory. The lawsuit had no lawyers or experts that were able to support the claims, the judge noted."

And here are the stats from Worldometers as of TODAY  (from Day 1):  

NEW JERSEY - deaths per 1,000,000 residents due to Covid:     2998/ 1Million residents

NEW YORK -   deaths per 1,000,000 residents due to Covid:     2790/ 1 Million residents

TEXAS  -  deaths per 1,000,000 residents due to Covid:     1850/ 1 Million residents

FLORIDA  -  deaths per 1,000,000 residents due to Covid:     1831/ 1 Million residents

Can you do simple math clown boy?  Do you notice a difference A-H?  

Here's a summation:  New York and New Jersey EACH have had more than 1.5X the death rate from the virus than Texas or Florida have had since day 1 of this virus.

Is this chart undated or uncited Clown Boy?

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

Which states were locked down by their leftist Democrat governors and which states had a more FREEDOM like approach?  

I'll let you guess Clown Boy.  smile
Look at the updated information that's current to date and not an aggregate total per million per population since the beginning of the pandemic. https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/public-health/us-coronavirus-deaths-by-state-july-1.html

Perfectly said. Way to Go Governor DeSantis!
DeSantis needs to get out of the way now! I'd add before it's too late in Florida but, thanks to Ron, it already is...

I'll add Pakman's take to it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRuuXHfWGfE
And some commentary from people who live there who watched the above video:
"My husband and I have been here in Florida four years.  It is a hell hole of ignorance, imbeciles, white supremacists and hateful people.  We are debating if we want to stay.  We love the weather; but, hate the behavior of more than 50% of the people."
"DeSantis has defined the ethos of Trumpism:  Make stupid decisions.  When they go wrong, double down on them."
"Same here.  I've lived here for 50 years and cannot stand it any more.  Leaving soon."
