I've read compelling evidence that McCain never completely shook the brainwashing he was subjected to in captivity. The Hanoi Songbird's eccentric behavior (tearfully embracing his former captors) suggests Stockholm syndrome, but who am I to analyze a dead man? Point is, he'd have been just as bad as Obama.

For those interested get the book by liftons on thought reform. It gives accounts of those who survived the conversion process in china during the red army uprising.

I was given these videos as resources to follow the current situation with the court cases.

These were absolutely worthless. Propaganda, on tier with what some may assume Fox News to be. Before I was told these were sent to me, I asked what cases were being dismissed when it was said that Trump was batting 0-16-- I was told that it didn't matter because "all" his cases were dismissed. I asked multiple times how a two 3-6 minute videos would be enough to elucidate the court situation-- I was reassured that they would.

It was in total 9-10 minutes of mostly smug gloating with a hint of the pretense of legal analysis. Nothing was discussed about the actual court cases. Nothing was discussed about the apparent legal strategies (and I know they didn't because one who follows these would understand that the goal of the Republicans at this point is to invalidate the election in at least PA). MSNBC's breakdown of Barr's memo entailed two or three sentences analyzed-- the rest was "TRUMP LOST TRUMP LOST BIDEN WON COPE COPE COPE COPE COPE".

I need to readjust myself, though. I was dreading watching these videos and was silently ranting as I did, even if it was about how empty they were.

Literally all my parents have watched since the election has been CNN and MSNBC, it's impossible to actually have a discussion about the issue with them because they're view on reality is so warped. Anything they watch those pundits and "experts" spew is treated as gospel and it's been like that ever since they started having it almost constantly on whenever I check. In their mind it's Trump trying to steal the election from properly elected Biden, the cases of fraud are all made up, he's a threat to democracy, etc.

It's one of the reasons that while I'd love the amount of salt Trump getting in would produce I loath knowing I'll have to be dealing with TDS-induced freakouts in my daily life.

Trump undid a lot of the fuckery that Obama did in his presidency ... Policy-wise, that is.

Obama's true damage to the United States was in the culture. I mean ... Fucking look at where we are right now.

It wouldn't be salt at this point, it'd be a inferno that burn down America. Trump's better in the long run, but the short term will suuuuuck.

CNN claims half of AZ audits are done with no proof of fraud found:

More than half of all counties in Arizona have conducted post-election audits and found either no discrepancies or microscopic issues that don’t affect the outcome, according to reports filed with the secretary of state’s office.

Audits in Arizona’s four largest counties, which comprised 86% of all votes for president in the state, turned up no evidence of the systematic voter fraud that President Trump has complained about. There were no irregularities found in Maricopa County, which is home to Phoenix. Officials in Pima County, home to Tucson, audited a random sample of 4,239 votes in the presidential race and only found a two-vote discrepancy.

Arizona currently has the closest margin between Trump and President-elect Joe Biden. Biden is ahead by 11,537 votes, or just 0.34% out of more than 3.3 million ballots cast statewide. There are under 25,000 ballots remaining to be counted, according to the secretary of state’s office. CNN has not yet projected a winner.

Earlier on Thursday, Trump tweeted, "From 200,000 votes to less than 10,000 votes. If we can audit the total votes cast, we will easily win Arizona also!” The numbers he cited were inaccurate – Biden’s lead in Arizona hasn’t dipped below 10,000.

Under state law, bipartisan audit boards routinely conduct hand-count audits of early ballots and Election Day ballots in all of Arizona’s 15 counties. The audits, which counties begin within 24 hours of the polls closing, must include five races, including the presidential race. By regulation, they have to count regular Election-Day ballots from at least two precincts or 2% of precincts, whichever is greater. The precincts are selected at random, by drawing.

Three GOP-leaning counties – Yuma, Gila and La Paz – didn’t conduct the audits because the local Republican Party chairs didn’t designate members to participate, election officials said. Their lack of involvement is surprising, considering Trump has been spreading baseless accusations of Republican poll-watchers being sidelined.

Are any Kiwis going to the pro-Trump demo in DC on Saturday? Eventbrite has claimed it's canceled but that's just big tech fuckery.

It'd be interesting to see some reliable coverage of the turnout because the media will obviously claim no one turned up. Also, right-wing women are adorable because when they talk about current events you don't wish for an asteroid to wipe out you and the rest of humanity.

Anyone who is dumb enough to go there deserves to get radiation poisoning from all of the glowies who will be present.
