  1. Did you happen to see the oceans cascading over the edge of Earth out into space...or was it covered by a huge clear salad bowl to keep the water in? Let us know. GO RV, then BV
  2. In many states, the mail in votes were counted first, before those votes cast on election day....In the states being criticized, the election day ballots were counted before the mail-in ballots, thus the hubbub... watching Trump's lead evaporate right before his eyes didn't set well...and that's the moment his Big Lie was released on the masses. Not a word was mentioned about Biden's huge lead in Ohio disappearing when the election day ballots were counted after the mail-ins. GO RV, then BV
  3. I understand, losing is a tough pill to swallow, and with 24/7 social media right at one's fingertips...finding like minded folk to whip each other into a lather over the falseness of the Big Lie, or killer vaxxes, is a simple click away. GO RV, then BV
  4. Should be fun to watch Liz Cheney and Jim Jordan interact with each other, hopefully she doesn't smack him again....all contingent on Nancy Pelosi allowing him on the committee of course. GO RV, then BV
  5. The U.S. is not alone in it's vaccination hesitancy...it's like this all over the world, and innocent people are dying because of it, some because of fear, others by the spread of false information, mostly coming from obscure conspiracy websites and irresponsible cable news talking heads playing to their crowd. Tucker cleans up financially by stoking those fears. GO RV, then BV
  6. Of course you would say these things, as part of the conditioning that comes with todays party of Trump is to toe the line, repeat the orange man's message and the big lie at all times, otherwise face being labeled a RINO, or part of the Deep State....keeping in mind of course, that DJT is still fuming and whining to all who will listen that he's not receiving the accolades he deserves for bringing us the vax in record time. GO RV, then BV
  7. I get you drift, again....You wish to have an free and fair election overturned so your guy, the leader of Operation Warp Speed, can ascend back to his rightful God given spot as the head of our country, so he can continue to vaccinate millions with deadly poison, because only he could push the science community to create such a thing in mere months. Makes sense. GO RV, then BV
  8. The most powerful tool in a narcissist's arsenal is the ability to feed seemingly normal, though impressionable, folks, BS...such as their freedoms are under attack, or they are victims of a deep state, or he's changed and not the money grabbing adulterer he once was, though he won't admit guilt...Some of his sycophants even take on the same traits and throw out slanderous accusations in the hope that if they repeat the lie enough weak minds will begin to believe it...as that person has lost control of his/her own humanity. It's a sad progression to watch. As always, just my opinion. GO RV, then BV
  9. Time will tell, Mark....keep on keeping on. GO RV, then BV
  10. I agree with that assessment, though Bernie and DJT are diametrically opposed to one another humanity wise....Bernie pushing hard for racial equality, as opposed to the other guys view of race. GO RV, then BV
  11. Thought provoking, respectful dialogue will only get you disparaged on a personal level by a certain subset of active posters, as maintaining any sense of reasonable debate form waved bye bye to them some time back deteriorating a once robust part of DV. I commend you for putting an honest effort forth, as useless as it will surely turn out to be. As always, just my opinion. GO RV, then BV
  12. That seems just about right for the year 1973...about the same time Fred Trump and his son Donald were price gouging black folk to keep them from living in upper class Trump owned properties. GO RV, then BV
  13. Certainly more than the known "Stop the Steal" CEO of Cyber Ninjas or double down DJT. GO RV, then BV
  14. About 35 percent of the active electorate, also known as Trump supporters will never unite with the rest of us. As the insurrection of January proved, they have gone all in and will settle for nothing other than Trump as their pOTUS for as long as he wants the position, for the U.S. Constitution means nothing to them. As always, just my opinion. GO RV, then BV
  15. A bipartisan government is essential to the survival of the USA, and the head of said government must be an individual who knows how to govern, who understands and respects the process of negotiating with the other party to reach an amicable agreement. Not everyone will get all they seek, but headway and moving forward, as one country is achieved. The head of the government must know the position he holds is not about him, and that he is nothing more than public employee number one, there to do the people's bidding, not to satisfy his own glory....to believe the last man to hold the office felt that way about his position is to be completely out of touch with reality. GO RV, then BV
  16. And then there's DJT's base who believe in the wrong thing, i.e. him, and thus fall for everything. GO RV, then BV
  17. Arizona Senate powerless to recall electors, chamber president says Daniel Chaitin Sat, July 17, 2021, 5:30 PM The Arizona Senate lacks the authority to recall electors, the legislative body's Republican president said on Friday. That statement by Karen Fann came in response to fellow state Sen. Wendy Rogers, who called for a new election after the Arizona Senate held a briefing in which contractors hired for its 2020 election audit in Maricopa County said they don't have enough information to complete a report. Fann told One America News Network, a cable news channel with a reporter who is controversially helping to fund the audit while covering it, that the Arizona Senate has the power to help the auditors get the materials and information they say they need (likely through more subpoenas, along with a door-to-door canvass), but the question of decertifying the election will be left up to others. "The Senate body — we do not have the authority to do that. So, this is what we have said, and I want to make this very clear on the record," Fann told host Natalie Harp. "We as a Senate body — we have the ability to subpoena information because we make laws. And we’re entitled to have the information to determine how to write those laws. That’s why we are successful in court, and that's what we’re doing. It’s all about election integrity. It’s not about the Trump-Biden race. It’s not about the Kelly-Martha McSally race," she added, referring to the presidential election and the U.S. Senate contest won by Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly. President Joe Biden won Arizona and its 11 electoral votes by more than 10,000 votes out of more than 3.3 million cast across the state. His lead of roughly 2 percentage points was due partly to his advantage in Maricopa County, where the Democrat scored nearly 45,000 more votes than former President Donald Trump. Maricopa County officials, who have said the auditors are incompetent and refuse to cooperate fully with the review, previously authorized two election machine audits that found no irregularities in the county's 2020 election. There was also a hand recount of a statistical sample of ballots that did not turn up any problems. But Trump still insists the presidential election was stolen in battleground states such as Arizona and praised the "brave" GOP-led state Senate after it held its hearing Thursday with Cyber Ninjas CEO Doug Logan and two other people involved with the partisan audit. He also shared the statements attributed to Rogers and other state senators saying they have heard enough. "I call for the Biden electors to be recalled to Arizona & a new election must be conducted. Arizona’s electors must not be awarded fraudulently & we need to get this right," Rogers said in a pair of tweets. Pressed on whether anything can be done if widespread malfeasance is uncovered, Fann passed the buck for determining a path forward. "I am not saying there is no way it can be done. What I am saying is our Senate body does not have the authority to do it. However, we will turn [the audit's findings] over to the attorneys general, not only on the state level, but on the federal level. And we will turn it over to Congress, and they can make those decisions. And that is, I'm saying, if there were any wrongdoings," she said. "It could be that we might just find a lot of irregularities in the sense there were problems with the votes," Fann acknowledged. "But if, if, if those determinations show there was enough difference in a count of the electoral — particularly since it was such a small margin here as it was in some other states, then Congress is going to have to take care of that." "They are going to have to make those decisions. This has never happened, in my knowledge, in the history of America. So, I don’t think there’s any precedent set for it at this point," she said. https://news.yahoo.com/arizona-senate-powerless-recall-electors-213000961.html GO RV, then BV
  18. AP FACT CHECK: Trump makes false claims about Arizona audit 1 / 2 Fact Check Trump FILE - In this Oct. 28, 2020, file photo President Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally at Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport in Bullhead City, Ariz (AP Photo/Evan Vucci, File) JONATHAN J. COOPER Sat, July 17, 2021, 6:49 PM·6 min read PHOENIX (AP) — Former President Donald Trump issued three statements in two days falsely claiming that voting fraud and irregularities cost him Arizona's electoral votes. Trump relied on comments made Thursday by contractors hired by state Senate Republicans to oversee a partisan review of the 2020 vote count in Maricopa County, which includes metro Phoenix. The “forensic audit,” as Senate GOP leaders are calling their review, is overseen by Cyber Ninjas, a small computer security firm with no election experience before Trump began questioning the 2020 results. Its CEO, Doug Logan, spread false conspiracy theories about the election before he was hired to lead the Arizona review. Logan and Ben Cotton, a digital forensics analyst working on the audit, described issues they say need further review. Trump has parroted them as evidence the election results are tainted. County officials and elections experts say the claims are false and based on a misunderstanding of election materials, which they say creates an appearance of irregularities where none exists. Trump laid out his claims most specifically in a statement Friday night. A look at the irregularities he alleges in that statement: TRUMP: “168,000 fraudulent ballots printed on illegal paper (unofficial ballots)” THE FACTS: All of that is false. The ballots were not unofficial or printed on illegal paper, and even Logan never alleged they were fraudulent. Logan pointed to ballots with the printing slightly offset between the front and back. He claimed this could cause votes to be counted for the wrong candidate if ink from one side bleeds through to another. He said the alignment issues were mostly from polling-place ballots, which are printed onsite, and said about 168,000 ballots were cast that way. The overwhelming majority of Arizona voters cast ballots by mail. “We are seeing a lot of very thin paper stock being used especially on Election Day,” Logan added. The allegation harkens back to the debunked “Sharpiegate” conspiracy theory that arose in the days after the election. Election experts say bleed-through doesn’t affect the vote count because bubbles on one side of a ballot don’t align with those on the other. Ballots that can't be read are flagged and duplicated by a bipartisan team. Arizona’s election procedures manual says only that ballots “must be printed with black ink on white paper of sufficient thickness to prevent the printing from being discernible on the reverse side the ballot.” Maricopa County uses 80 pound Votesecur paper from Rolland, which is among the papers approved by Dominion Voting Systems, which makes the county's tabulation equipment, said Fields Moseley, a county spokesman. Logan did not provide any evidence that alignment problems affected the vote count and said the issue needs more analysis. ___ TRUMP, citing “74,000 mail in ballots received that were never mailed (magically appearing ballots)." THE FACTS: No, there were no magically appearing ballots. He is alleging that the number of filled-out ballots received in the mail by election officials exceeded the number of people who had asked earlier for mail-in ballots, by 74,000. But that's not at all what happened. The claim mischaracterizes reports created for political parties to track who has voted early so they can target their get-out-the-vote efforts. One report tracks all requests that voters make for early ballots, either by mail or in person, up to 11 days before the election. The other report tracks all ballots received through the day before the election. That leaves a 10-day window during which people who vote in-person but don't request a mail ballot would appear on one report but not the other. ___ TRUMP, claiming “11,000 voters were added to the voter rolls AFTER the election and still voted." THE FACTS: There's nothing untoward about voters rolls growing after Election Day. The rolls are simply updated to reflect people whose provisional ballots are added to the tally after election officials verify that they were eligible to vote. The allegation that the updated tally was the result of electoral wrongdoing first came from Logan this past week, when he told state lawmakers of “11,326 people that did not show up on the Nov. 7 version of the voter rolls, after votes were cast, but then appeared on the Dec. 4 voter rolls.” Maricopa County officials said Logan is probably referring to provisional ballots, which are cast by people who do not appear on the voter rolls or don't have the proper identification on Election Day. They're only counted if the voter later shows he or she was eligible to vote. To be eligible, such voters must have registered before the deadline. “These go through a rigorous verification process to make sure that the provisional ballots cast are only counted if the voter is eligible to vote in the election,” Maricopa County officials wrote on Twitter. “This happens after Election Day. Only eligible voters are added to the voter rolls.” ___ TRUMP, alleging “all the access logs to the machines were wiped, and the election server was hacked during the election.” THE FACTS: That flies in the face of the evidence. Maricopa County's election server is not connected to the internet and independent auditors found no evidence the election server was hacked. Trump's hacking allegation refers to the unauthorized download of public data from the county's voter registration system. That system, which is connected to the internet and broadly accessible to political parties and election workers, is not linked to the election management system, the web of ballot counters, computers and servers that tallies votes. The election management system is “air gapped," or kept disconnected from the rest of the county's computer network and the wider internet. Two firms certified by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to test voting systems found Maricopa County's machines were not connected to the internet and did not have malicious hardware or software installed. ___ TRUMP: “Arizona shows Fraud and Voting Irregularities many times more than would be needed to change the outcome of the Election.” THE FACTS: Not so. The number of potential fraud cases is far smaller than President Joe Biden's margin of victory in Arizona. County election officials identified 182 cases where voting problems were clear enough that they referred them to investigators for further review, according to an Associated Press investigation. So far, only four cases have led to charges, including those identified in a separate state investigation. No one has been convicted. No person’s vote was counted twice. Biden won Arizona by 10,457 votes out of 3.4 million cast. Of the four cases that have resulted in criminal charges, two involved Democratic voters and two involved Republicans. ___ https://news.yahoo.com/ap-fact-check-trump-makes-224942791.html GO RV, then BV
  19. No burr whatsoever....in fact, with each passing day, we as the greatest country the ball Earth has ever known rebounds to said greatness, by putting DJT further and further in the rear view. Today is no exception. GO RV, then BV
