Early on the morning of Oct. 19, an air-conditioner repairman named David Lopez was driving his small box truck in Houston, Texas, when a black S.U.V. slammed into him from behind and forced him off the road. After the vehicles came to a stop, Lopez heard the S.U.V.’s driver scream for help. He approached the vehicle, whereupon the driver, a man named Mark Aguirre, jumped out and ordered him to the ground at gunpoint. Aguirre had been surveilling Lopez for four days, convinced that he was the mastermind of a scheme to steal the election from President Trump. Aguirre’s investigation, it would emerge, was financed by Steven Hotze, a prolific Republican donor and Houston-area physician who made his fortune via “wellness centers” where he marketed “hormone replacement” therapies for everything from postpartum depression to hyperthyroidism, as well as a vitamin product called My HotzePak Skinny Pak. Hotze, 70, has long been prominent among the religious right for his opposition to gay rights. During the unrest following George Floyd’s death, he left a voice mail message for Gov. Greg Abbott’s chief of staff, urging him to authorize the Texas National Guard to “shoot to kill” rioters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Rabid One Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 On 12/11/2020 at 12:35 PM, badrouter said: The attempt to sue four states and overturn the elections in those states represents the greatest exercise in futility in history. It is 99.99% likely to fail. But, even if it somehow "succeeds", the result is the end of the nation. Overturn the vote of the people, allowing state legislatures to vote in their place, is certain to lead to the destruction of the country, complete with the deaths of millions of civilians in the war that will ensue. There will be no United States of America to fight over. You'll end up with some variation of the confederacy and the union. So, you'll almost certainly see the lawsuit tossed out, OR you'll see the end of the nation. Admittedly, people really ARE stupid enough to play this game. NOOO, the greatest exercise in futility, is when you DIMMS try to legitimize this INSANE BULLSHIT you're spreading across America, and calling it patriotic!

I couldn't be completely sure what you mean by "DIMMS". But, if you mean "Democrats", no, that isn't me. The only people identifying with political parties these days are: 1) morons, 2) people who stand to gain personally from association with a party or 3) people who've been intellectually lazy and not bothered to update their registration etc. Perhaps have a look at the last thread I created in this forum. Your conclusions about me are the result of adherence to a false choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idiots with money, Trumpy, and QAnon is not a healthy environment. bgw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atticus Finch Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 Florida and Texas Join the March as Republicans Press Voting Limits Mr. Cain admitted that he had not consulted with the attorney general’s office or conducted a study of how the bill might affect people of color, but he defended the bill and said it would not have a discriminatory impact. The chef's kiss of Republicanism. "I didn't read it or consult with anybody but it definitely *won't* be discriminatory!" 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atticus Finch Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 On 12/11/2020 at 4:59 PM, Belly Bob said: This Texas lawsuit, like the overwhelming majority of these lawsuits, isn't really claiming fraud. Thanks to a public records request, the Miami Herald has emails from lawyers in the office of the Florida Attorney General. They called the Texas lawsuit "batshit" before their boss, Ashley Moody, signed on to the case. ‘Bats--t insane.’ Florida attorney general’s own lawyers gave early warning of worse to come It was strangely refreshing to hear the words that appellate lawyers in the office of Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody used, in newly released emails, to describe the desperate attempt by the Texas attorney general to overturn the results of the 2020 election by suing four swing states in 2020. “Weird,” said one. “Bats--t insane,” wrote another. And not that their words made any difference at the time. A day after the lawyers had that discussion, Moody signed Florida up to support that very same lawsuit. Because no claim is too extreme, no lawsuit too ridiculous for Florida if there’s the potential for a GOP win or a chance to placate Trump.
