The thread for stupidity from GQP politicians who don't have their own thread

You're supposed to rig elections the honorable way, before any votes are even cast.

I think I might agree with that except I see it as a whole different category of problems. Related, yes, true election denial, no.

Sorta. You have a point with election denial, sure. We've got quite a few states where election denial is on the ballot or effectively so, but not the Supreme Court, yet.

On the other hand, the whole Independent State Legislature crap is nigh inseparable from election denial and the partisan hacks that compromise too much of the Supreme Court look poised to rule in favor of the election deniers. It's possible that they may not succeed, but this particular court majority has shown the disregard of extremists for the health and continued existence of the US in general. It's a way to rig the system without directly engaging in illegal acts, so it's right up the GOP's alley. Not that the law stops a few too many of them in the first place, of course, as they use the general law-abiding Republican stereotypes for cover.

I can understand Lindell's desire to avoid trial. Look at what the federal district court judge -- the judge, mind you -- said in dismissing Lindell's motion to dismiss the lawsuit:
Judge Carl Nichols wrote that “in addition to alleging that Lindell’s claims are inherently improbable, that his sources are unreliable, and that he has failed to acknowledge the validity of countervailing evidence, Dominion has alleged numerous instances in which Lindell told audiences to purchase MyPillow products after making his claims of election fraud and providing MyPillow promotional codes related to those theories.” Dominion “has adequately alleged that Lindell made his claims knowing that they were false or with reckless disregard for the truth,” Nichols wrote.

Lindell is done. But he's just the latest in a long parade line of people who suffered major losses after hitching their wagon to donald john trump.

Hey, when you're that stupid... :(

Or, that invested in a narrative, financially. I'm not particularly convinced that Lindell actually believes the crap he's spouting so much as that he knows that he was well past the point of no return by the time he actually had to start facing the potential for consequences.

Well, I hope he's done. But I think you may be reading too much in to that wording. "Adequately alleged" sounds like it's just the bar for letting a case go ahead. I don't think it translates to "adequately proven".

And if nothing is done, there won't be any ******* economy, there won't be any ******* corporations, there won't be ******* anybody left alive. The super rich will be the last ones to go, dying in their polar hideaways surrounded by their ******* gold, stocks and bonds. And someday, someone from another planet will come here, see how we ****** everything up, and put in their report "These people were a bunch of stupid, greedy **** ups who made all the mistakes our civilization avoided."

Can I put you down as a vote for not-a-simulation, then?

Given the sheer number of people who completely lost their **** after she played it, I believe it would be only fair to credit Lizzo with the discovery of the infamous Brown Note.

I'm trying to figure out how it is "desecrating" for Lizzo to play the flute. I'm pretty sure the actual reason they are upset is because she's black, but what is their stated excuse?
