  • when people ask me how Trump won, I explain that Americans care so little about women as a group that they’re letting them die in front of hospitals rather than allowing them to have health care.

    “allowing” them.

    so the party hoping to elect a woman president is at an extreme disadvantage.

    I also think domestic and international election interference election interference plays a much more significant role in American elections than people think and in hindsight and future history textbooks, people will be shaking their heads, not just at the electoral college, but at direct election interference securing Republican victories.

    people don’t think election interference is important because we hear the word gerrymander or social media bias or “Russian troll farms” and since they’re omnipresent, they’re dismissed, although they have direct practical influence on campaigns and election processes.



  • these are the facts Jack, and facts don’t care if you don’t like them.

    also, conspiracy does not equal untrue.

    a conspiracy is a group of people planning to carry out or carrying out a scheme.

    that happens in the real world everyday.

    it’s fine if you don’t like that one guy, ignore that one guy.

    Focus on all of the other computer security experts stating that because of trumps lawyers admitting they hired a group to steal voting machine software, and their stated intention to interfere with the election, we should do a manual count to make sure that all the ballots are legitimate.

    you can ignore that one guy and listen to all the other scientists you don’t have a problem, who you claim to agree with, with who have 19 credible sources supporting the electoral obligation for a manual ballot count.







  • very little action needs to be taken by the people in those States to convince their secretary of State to do a manual recount, or people in other states to ask their secretary of State to pressure the soss in other states to do a recount.

    legislation is often supported or not based on less than 100 people calling into their legislator’s office, so the more people calling up their secretaries of state and election officials and demanding a recount, the better.

    this is not a baseless accusation, there is hard evidence that Trump’s lawyers had voting software, and a historical and statistical and probability that The voters that literally want Trump. the election are real or actually voted.

    The likelihood is that those ballots are not there.

    with this much actual evidence, there must be a recount.

    you should demand it.

    call or email your election officials. tell me your state and I’ll tell you who to call or email.




  • whoaaaaaa. whoa. whoa.

    this is a good thing to get angry about and call up your state officials, especially if you’re in one of those swing States.

    “Is this just the Left’s version of right-wing conspiracy theories that have played an outsize role in destabilising our institutions? Perhaps.”

    no, there is no evidence for qanon conspiracy theories, while there is plenty of evidence that Trump’s lawyers stole voting software and the voting numbers are historically and statistically non-credible, specifically in the most important states in the election and specifically just over the margin that would spark manual recounts.

    this is definitely actionable material.




  • The article keeps mentioning that the drinks could have been spiked, but that seems very unlikely and a weird way to poison someone, especially since there doesn’t seem to be a motive or relationship between the victims.

    what’s much more likely, given it’s Laos, is that the whiskey was poorly homemade and the bar sourced their whiskey from that. unskillful distiller, laotian whiskey is a cultural tradition and whiskey is pretty easy to make. all you need is a still, but if you keep all of the distillation, the beginning of the liquid coming out is methanol, which is very poisonous. after the methanol is gone then it’s all ethanol, which is the alcohol you’re used to drinking and is less poisonous.

    it sounds like this was in a bar, so the supplier of the bar probably got lazy or didn’t want to waste any of the distillate they were making and kept the methanol in through negligence or greed.
