  1. Kari Lake Loses Suit Over Her Defeat In Arizona Governor’s Race

    By Jaques Billeaud Dec 24, 2022,

    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/kari-lake-loses-suit-over-her-defeat-in-arizona-governors-race_n_63a748cae4b0cbfd55dc2a37

    PHOENIX (AP) — "A judge has thrown out Republican Kari Lake’s challenge of her defeat in the Arizona governor’s race to Democrat Katie Hobbs, rejecting her claim that problems with ballot printers at some polling places on Election Day were the result of intentional misconduct.

    In a decision Saturday, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson, who was appointed by then-Republican Gov. Jan Brewer, found that the court did not find clear and convincing evidence of the widespread misconduct that Lake had alleged had affected the result of the 2022 general election."

    The last of the election deniers.

    Good riddance to bad rubbish.

  2. Page 268 of the final report documents how Trump White House official Vince Haley sent a message to Trump White House enforcer Johnny McEntee arguing that no fraud was necessary for Republican-led state legislatures to overturn the will of their states' voters.

    Rather, Haley proposed, they could simply object to certifying the election results if it prevented "socialism" from overtaking the American republic.

    Specifically, Haley told McEntee that "“[w]e should baldly assert” that GOP legislatures “have the constitutional right to substitute their judgment for a certified majority of their constituents” if they believe it would block the threat of socialism.

    McEntee, for his part, was enthusiastic about the idea.

    "Yes!” he replied. “Let’s find the contact info for all these people now."

    HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — "A Connecticut judge on Thursday denied Infowars host Alex Jones’ motion seeking a new trial and the overturning of a jury verdict requiring him to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to families of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.

    The ruling found the motion was not supported “by any evidence or case law.”

    In October the jury decided that he must pay victims’ families $965 million in compensatory damages, and a judge later added on another $473 million in punitive damages."

    Yay!

    Steve,

       Yesterday was the second coldest day in the recorded history of Denver-- a low of -24 F and a high of -6 F.

        Mercifully, we had very little wind.

        Chicago is reportedly experiencing 40 to 50 mph winds with wind chill temps of -35 to -40 F today.

    W.,

    It's been 0 degrees all day in So. IN with 20mph winds. The wind chill is -22 F.

    Overnight, it's supposed to warm up to 5 degrees.

    Yay!

  5. J6 report reveals Trump privately admitted defeat but kept pushing to overturn election: 'I don't want people to know we lost'

    "I don't want people to know we lost, Mark, [Meadows]" Trump said, according to Hutchinson. "This is embarrassing. Figure it out. We need to figure it out. I don't want people to know we lost."

     

    When I think of the hell this man put the Country through over the last two years.

    Exile's not good enough for him.

    Russia’s only aircraft carrier catches fire

    “A fire broke out on Russia’s only aircraft carrier earlier today, Russian state media reported.

    The Admiral Kuznetsov, a flagship of the Russian navy, suffered a “minor” fire while docked at the Zvyozdochka shipyard in the Arctic port of Murmansk, located in the far north-west of Russia, according to reports by the Russian state-owned Tass and Ria Novosti news agencies.”

    “Aleksey Rakhmanov, head of the state-owned United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC) which is overseeing a refit of the carrier, was cited as saying the blaze was quickly extinguished and caused no casualties.

    Tass cited an emergency service source as saying 20 people had been evacuated.

    The Admiral Kuznetsov has been out of service and in dry dock for repairs since 2018. Rakhmanov told Russian media in June that he expected the 43,000-tonne, 1,000ft warship to return to service in early 2024.”

     

    "Only aircraft carrier"? "Minor fire, but 20 people had to be evacuated"? "Been in dry dock since 2018"?

    Hmmmm...

    "When Elon Musk sent a cryptic tweet to his 120 million followers telling them to “Follow 🐰,” it was immediately celebrated by QAnon followers as a sign that Musk is an Anon, a member of the conspiracy community. The flurry of momentum was one more indication that Americans’ conspiracy fever hasn’t broken — it’s just being stoked by a new QA

    “Follow the white rabbit” is an allusion used by QAnon members to both “Alice in Wonderland” and “The Matrix,” and evokes a fantasy awakening to a world that lies beyond our own. It is a phrase regularly used by QAnon followers and “Q,” their mysterious leader. In the context of Twitter’s reinstatement of previously-banned QAnon accounts, Musk’s white rabbit tweet has breathed fresh life into a QAnon movement looking for a new messiah in a post-Trump moment."

    I hadn't heard about the White Rabbit before.

    God, I hope this isn't The Inevitable End Result of Our Last 56 Years.

    "Former President Donald Trump's recently unleashed line of NFT 'digital trading cards' could potentially land him in legal hot water

    Trump launched the line earlier this week and while the images were mocked in parts of the left and right, they did sell out of the first 4,500 put up for sale 

    However, members of the media and Twitter users have pointed out that some of them appear to be based on unlicensed, copyrighted photos 

    In fact, many of the designs - including a spacesuit and a cowboy getup - were seen previously on websites for clothing and even stock photos."

    Poor Donald. He can't even manage grift right.

  9. Twitter today (12/18/22) announced it would "no longer allow free promotion of certain social media platforms" on the site, specifying "Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribel, Nostr and Post."

    in recent days users trying to post links to Mastodon reported that they were falsely flagged as "potentially harmful" or as "malware."

    Ah yes, isn't free speech wonderful?

    I wouldn't join Twitter on a bet.

  10. Donald Trump issues threat and call to action:

    https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/109529028482982758

    "Our Country is SICK inside, very much like a person dying of Cancer. The Crooked FBI, the so-called Department of “Justice,” and “Intelligence,” all parts of the Democrat Party and System, is the Cancer. These Weaponized Thugs and Tyrants must be dealt with, or our once great and beautiful Country will die!!!"

     

    The Thugs and Tyrants must be dealt with.

    Be There. Will Be Wild!

    “THREAT TO DEMOCRACY” is the Radical Left Democrat’s new chant. Like RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, before it, and all the rest, it is a total Disinformation HOAX & SCAM. They are the ones who are the REAL THREAT TO DEMOCRACY. Remember, the Democrat’s policies are destroying our Country, they “stink.” DISINFORMATION & WEAPONIZATION of “Justice” is all they’ve got, but someday it will all come back to haunt them. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

    Have you gotten your subpoena from the January 6th Committee yet?

    I'm still waiting on mine.

  12. The question I am now asking myself is why Donald Trump is deliberately trying to sabatoge his Presidential campaign?

    One day he announces his candidacy.

    A month goes by and there is no effort to promote his Campaign -  o rallies, no public appearances.

    The next day he says he wants to dismantle the  Constitution.

    A week later, he announces to the world that he is nothing but a cartoon figure.

    This can't be coincidental.

  13. Trump just made his "MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT" and it really is unbelievable

    https://boingboing.net/2022/12/15/trump-just-made-his-major-announcement-and-it-really-is-unbelievable.html

     

    “Following in the footsteps of MyPillow slippers, Donald Trump's anticipated announcement has just been released, and yes, it's a doozy. No, he's not being installed as the next House Speaker. And no, he did not announce his 2024 running mate.

    But rather, his "MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT!" comes in the form of an advertisement, peddling his new limited edition "Donald Trump Digital Trading Card" collection. Yes, digital. And, unbelievably, "only $99 each!"”

    MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT! My official Donald Trump Digital Trading Card collection is here! These limited edition cards feature amazing ART of my Life & Career! Collect all of your favorite Trump Digital Trading Cards, very much like a baseball card, but hopefully much more exciting. Go to collectrumpcards.com/ & GET YOUR CARDS NOW! Only $99 each! Would make a great Christmas gift. Don't Wait. They will be gone, I believe, very quickly!

    “Whether it's Trump or Elon Musk who hits bottom first is anyone's guess.”

     

     

    I wonder if they are going to have bubblegum.

     

    This is beyond insane.

  14. Trump sues Pulitzer Prize Board for defamation

    New York Daily News

    https://www.rawstory.com/trump-sues-pulitzer-prize-board-for-defamation/

    “Former president Donald Trump reportedly has filed a lawsuit against the Pulitzer Prize Board. In the suit, the 45th president claims the committee defamed him by honoring the New York Times and Washington Post for their reporting on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and by refusing to retract those awards.”

     

    Well, I've had my chuckle for the week.

  15. "Donald Trump shared a bizarre video depicting himself as a “superhero” on his social media platform Truth Social in which he teased a “major announcement”. "

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-shares-bizarre-video-teasing-major-announcement/ar-AA15hhPa

    Donald Trump has become a caricature of himself. A cartoon character.

    A Superhero with laser beams coming out of his eyes.

    The man is a joke.
