McConnell Blocks $2,000 Stimulus Check Vote (msn.com)

Just how badly do the Repblicans not want control of the Senate?

The detail on this will make you discover reserves of disgust you didn’t even know you still had, did you see McConnell is making the release of this bit of money to citizens one part of a mad 3-part bill, the other 2 bits being ‘the election was frauded’ and ‘Twitter must stop people saying mean stuff about trump’. So of course they won’t vote yes to that whole bundle. It’s just insane.

Standard tactics Hide insane shit in bills along with positive measures and when the opposition objects to the insane shit they can say "Look at these major benefits that they've been proposing but suddenly they're against them the hypocrites"

McConnell swats back at Trump amid Republican power struggle

In 19 days, McConnell will be the most powerful GOP leader.

While calling for supporters to protest the certification of the election results on Jan. 6, Trump accidentally got things right for once.

Because they might rename military bases? What complete bollocks.

Now we know the real reason trump was desperate to veto the National Defense Authorization Act.

I don't think Trump is going to adopt Lin Wood's innovative "execute Mike Pence" policy, but who knows these days.

Is Lin Wood hoping to be Trump's VP running mate in 2024?

Trump Bizarrely Declares the Georgia Runoff ‘Illegal and Invalid’

As one would expect, his dramatic claim relied on a convoluted conspiracy theory.

www.thedailybeast.com

President Trump is trying to convince his followers that the Senate special election in Georgia is “both illegal and invalid” because of a bizarre election conspiracy theory, a move that could spell trouble for the two Republicans hoping to win re-election on Jan. 5.

In a series of tweets late Friday, Trump falsely claimed that state legislatures were “not in any way responsible for the massive changes made to the voting process” and that the special elections for Georgia’s two Senate seats are therefore invalid.

Republicans have expressed concern that Trump’s constant attacks on Georgia’s Republican governor and secretary of state, voter fraud conspiracy theories, and feuds with congressional Republicans will depress turnout among conservative voters in a special election which could determine control of the senate.

Do they have the same routine with a lot of Dems using mail-in and Republicans turning up on the day? If so this could make a difference

Nancy Pelosi’s House Vandalized Overnight With Spray Paint And Fake Blood

Speaker Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco home was vandalized overnight, and the incident appears to be related to failed stimulus talks.

balleralert.com

Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco home was vandalized overnight, and the incident appears to be related to failed stimulus talks.

TMZ reports that most of the damage was confined to her garage door, which was spray-painted with phrases like “cancel rent” and “we want everything” in big black letters.

The vandal(s) also painted a crossed-out “$2K,” referencing the failed government stimulus checks.

In a disturbing scene in front of Pelosi’s garage door, the perps placed a pig’s head and smeared what appears to be fake blood all over the driveway.

Law enforcement sources told the outlet that San Francisco police responded to the home after a call about vandalism around 3 a.m. A police report was taken at the scene, but there is no word if officers have any suspects at this time.

I don't get it. The house (Nancy) passed the $2000 relief, so why the "2K" thing?

And a pig's head???

1: false flag, it's a bunch of rightists (i am 50% serious, i am also 50% appropriating the dominant paradigm in which rightists reflexively assert that any rightwing act of violence was actually done by "liberals", at least before trump, at which point they got proud of their violence)

2: a bunch of leftistists-so-woke-that-they-hate-center-left-democrats-more-than-trump-ers, a group which used to bulk large here though none live in the states and have no idea of the texture of daily life. /rant

 

[bimble]

Now a whole bunch of Republican senators are nobly pledging to ‘reject’ the electors they don’t like on 6th. I don’t even know what they might be thinking, if it’s fear of not being seen as loyal by trump or the voters or what.
Their explanation is “lots of people believe there was fraud, like trump said, so ..the election shouldn’t count.”

I can almost guarantee that both of those houses have video cameras so we'll probably find out who did it at some point.

and what were their security details doing at that time ?

 

[MickiQ]

and what were their security details doing at that time ?

They were probably in Washington with them, McConnell's house is in Louisville and Pelosi's is in San Francisco

 

[StoneRoad]

tbh I don't suppose Chequers is left unguarded when the PM is not there, certainly Buck House always has a ceremonial guard ...
so I'm not sure why I think their homes were unguarded.

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

and what were their security details doing at that time ?

Both people were in Washington at the time and were not home. Their security details were probably with Pelosi or McConnell. The house security probably consists of security cameras, an alarm system, and an old dude who drives around a couple times at night.

In 2020, Vote Fraud Claims Were Not 'Baseless'

Despite mainstream media's constant claims to the contrary, vote fraud claims in 2020 were not "baseless," Michael Dorstewitz writes for Newsmax.

www.newsmax.com

The article lists fraudulent votes per state. Here is Nevada's ->

Attorney Jesse Binnall testified before the Senate Homeland Security Committee on Dec. 16 as to what resulted.

He had proof of nearly 90,000 fraudulent or improper votes that were cast, including instances where:

• More than 42,000 people voted multiple times.
• At least 1,500 people listed as "dead" voted.
• More than 19,000 non-residents voted.
• In excess of 8,000 people cast mail-in votes from non-existent addresses.
• Over 15,000 votes were cast from commercial or vacant addresses.
• Nearly 4,000 non-citizens voted.

Considering Biden took Nevada by 33,596 votes, these allegations are serious.

I can see why people questioning the results after reading such a long list.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Even if true, "votes cast" is different from "votes counted".

Ted Cruz's dad did shoot JFK

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Even if true, "votes cast" is different from "votes counted".

It's just repeating the same tired old crap, which has proved false again and again. Saying 'I have evidence of' is different from there actually being evidence, as we know from Mad Rudy, Crazy Sid and Loony Lin.

Might be worth adding a warning when linking to them, though. It's the same old rubbish - dead people voting, we have killer evidence, etc, etc, which just isn't true, any of it.
