After reading it, I'm actually saving that web page in full for posterity. Off the shitshow charts. :D:D:D:D

Too bad people didn't listen to Parker and Stone.

It appears Sidney Powell will be named as Special Counsel on election fraud.

“It appears” requires settling down?

When someone is named, we will see how things settle then.

The fraud thing is still going on? This is starting to get a bit old no? I mean...doubling down on this is such a terrible stance right now. ESPECIALLY when the SC is like, “nahhhhhh”

I believe SCOTUS currently has two cases docketed and a couple more pending. So while the SC has said “nahhhhhh” to some, they haven’t heard all.

!@#$%! 12.20.2020 11:05 AM

it appears:
it appears one person with b.p. initials does not in fact eat large hot turds for breakfast, contrary to appearances (some people are saying),
and it appears that some things are facts and not appearances
but it also appears that it's hard to tell what's what
so i'll just say
that it appears that the rumor that b.p. ate large hot turds for lunch was
just a rumor, or so it appears, and some people are saying, it appears
that we will know more when this individual with initials b.p. is named.
it could be british petroleum, or brains pickled, or bathroom predator--who knows!
but it appears we don't know a thing at all, and so for now, it just appears, and in my opinion, it is all appearances,
so we know nothing about the appearance of this bathroom predator eating large hot turds for lunch business.
or maybe it was breakfast, it appears.

Oh my fucking gawd, more quoted Bytorisms that I cannot unsee.

What fucked up right wing "news source" must he be consuming to think that SCOTUS is going to hear anything on this stupidity?

Trump happened because there are 70 million Bytors in the USA.

Breaking news: 81 is a larger number than 75, you elementary school dropout.

Fact Check:
Counties won and votes received don’t correlate in presidential race
Quote:

Counties across the United States vary dramatically in size, from populations of a few hundred people to several million. Trump won many smaller counties this year, while Biden pulled majorities in some of the nation’s largest counties, such as Los Angeles County in California and Maricopa County in Arizona.

Biden did win fewer small counties than Obama won in 2008, but he won by higher margins than Obama did in urban areas such as Los Angeles County and Washington’s King County, data shows.

The total number of votes Biden received doesn’t correlate with the number of counties he won.

His higher total vote tally compared to Obama is instead more likely related to higher voter turnout, fueled both by a growing population and a larger portion of the electorate voting in 2020 than in 2008.

About 27 million more people voted for president in 2020 than in 2008, according to the United States Elections Project. Both President Donald Trump and Biden received record numbers of votes this year.


Robert Schunk 12.22.2020 05:28 AM

So, by now, while abslolutely supporting President Trump's continuing litigation in support of his re-election bid, I must admit that, pending current litigation, Biden appears to have won the election.

I am a Socialist who has seen, both through my own studies of history and with my own eyes in real time, insurrectionary governments rendering themselves illegitimate by refusing to acknowledge the will of the electorate as expressed through elections subsequent to the insurrection. Therefor, as the insurrectionary election of 2016 appears to have been reversed by the results of the election of 2020, I find myself in the same position in which the Socialist Party of Milwaukee (my native city) found itself in the year 1912, when our Socialist Mayor, the great Emil Seidel, was defeated by a wicked alliance of the Bougeois parties. He, and, more importantly, his party, did not then strive to remain in power, but, rather, yielded to the electoral victor.

This clearly informs my own Milwaukee Kraut Socialist sensibilities in that Socialism is a TOOL, and not a RELIGION, to be applied or not from time to time as the electorate sees fit.

In the same vein, President Trump should leave office on 20 January 2021 (once again, pending the results of current litigation), if only to preserve the optics of a peaceful transition of power (which many young people here in the US found objectionable when President Obama peacefully handed power to President Trump on 20 January 2017).

I am willing to wait and see whether or not President Biden lives up to his pledge to reunite the nation, or whether he attempts to purge the nation of Trump supporters (most importantly including workers and farmers).

Oh so young and naive juvenile, of course 81>75 = duh!

This is what 16% looks like:

 


 


President Donald Trump won 2497 counties and ALL 27 contested house seats were won by Republicans. Lastly, 2020 was the ONLY TIME in American history that 140 MILLION votes were counted.

you are comparing apples with oranges and mango's and pineapples and camels and baboons.


Check the maps on these two sites, these are for the 2016 Elections, I couldn't find similar maps for 2020 so quickly. But it will explain to you hopefully that counting the amount of counties doesn't make any sense at all.
