Another Republican pushing back against conspiracy theories.

I find it kind of telling that my first instinct was to see whether he was in a competitive district or not. To my happy surprise, he isn't--he decisively won re-election this time around. So he might be genuine!
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

What is also telling is how remarkable it is for a Republican elected official to say what he's saying.  Not too long ago it would've been a given that any politicians in their right mind would be saying what he's saying.

I'm scared of recursion.

I'm not scared of anything on this planet. I only fear God and His terrible judgment.

I've done my share of shitposting in my time, and in the event it turns out there is a God, I'm fucked.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

If there is a god with terrible judgement, you and he will have a lot in common.  :D

Perhaps this board is proof of God's terrible judgement.  ;)

One of the voting software companies have sent letters to Fox, OANN and NewsMax demanding they stop defaming them:

:hmm:

I don't know anything about US libel laws and if they could pursue this but it seemed interesting.
So Newsmax has a host reading this on all news shows :lol:

To be fair that suddenly made them more accurate and honest than the cable news TV channels.

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

The Minsky Moment

Sadly it's far closer to pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

No doubt they will keep bringing on "independent guests" who will give "opinions" on these matters.

Sidney Powell should be very happy that Trump did not reform the libel laws like he said he wanted to.  Even as they are now should could be exposed.

How could she not be exposed right now?  She is clearly committing slander and probably libel, and she knows that all of these zombie Chavez things are made up, because she made them up.  She shouldn't have shoved that kraken up her ass before releasing it.

Statements made in connection with judicial proceedings have absolute privilege from defamation claims.

NewsMax's statement is already being clarified by its followers as minor pro forma appeasement of THE LEFT to avoid getting violenced by its BLM foot soldiers.
PDH!
