Big D vs Twitter

[Rosco]

I think you should actually read the reports referred to, the following quotes are important :

Prior to Election Day the Mission visited and engaged with state and electoral officials, political
party representatives and other stakeholders in Georgia, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan and the
District of Columbia. The Mission also observed the early voting process and political campaign
activities in these jurisdictions. On Election Day the Mission was present and observed the final
voting process in the same four states and the District of Columbia.

That's the equivalent of saying there's definitely no evidence of food being present in this house because I checked the attic and there's none there.

It also notes how susceptible some of systems are and seems to suggest not all state software and systems has been approved :

However, vulnerabilities remain. Some states continue to rely on
outdated Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) machines which are susceptible to vulnerabilities and
which do not facilitate a paper-based audit of results.
Voting machines and Election Management Systems (EMS) used by most states are certified by
the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) using the Voluntary Voting System Guidelines Version
1.0 from 2005. These voluntary guidelines are significantly outdated and do not include a
penetration testing process, which checks a computer system for exploitable security
vulnerabilities. The EAC is currently working on VVSG 2.0.

Then there's this gem that suggests the approach taken by social media companies to covering the election breaches international human rights norms:

The Mission observed that social media companies flagged and/or deleted messages from certain
candidates and their followers, based on their respective internal policies, such as Twitter's ‘Civic
Integrity Policy’. While social media companies have become a key source of information and
communication, which is no doubt favorable to the expansion of freedom of speech, the Mission
considers that lack of regulation has led social media companies to constitute themselves as
regulators of the content that is published. This is far from ideal and legislation based on
international human rights law should be discussed and passed.

 

[Rosco]

It then concludes with:

The OAS Electoral Observation Mission for the 2020 General Elections in the United States will
continue to observe the current electoral process through to the certification of the results and
the tally of the Electoral College votes in January 2021. The Mission stresses that as the process
continues, every valid vote cast in these elections must be counted, once it was received within
the framework of the existing rules and regulations in the respective states.
The Mission also reiterates that all candidates must be guaranteed their right of complaint and
appeal, once these are made within the applicable legal frameworks.

Which is exactly the line taken by Trump - count all legal votes, disregard illegal ones

Susceptible to attacks and vulnerable to attacks are not exactly news though. That's been known for decades.

They took a random sample of states, there was a case against Michigan that was thrown out, and Georgia was another contested state. I'm not sure are you suggesting they should have been at every single booth available to check ... Because that's gonna be tough.

This was discussed and knew this was going to be the main battle ground hence legal wranglings before the election in Pennslyvania.

But yeah anyways

Absolutely NO EVIDENTHE to suggest Dean Browning is not a gay black guy

 

[Woland]

 

[dantes]

There is no ethidence that gay black man in the video is not a deepfake imposter or a crisis actor. Meanwhile the fact a black man is supporting Trump is all the evidenthe you need to know he doesn't actually exist.

 

[dantes]

I did a Google search for Dan Purdy. He is actually a scout at Everton

https://uk.linkedin.com/in/dan-purdy-4889aa64

The alleged gay black guy in the video who says he is Dan Purdy is lying. Does someone know how to report false claims to twitter?

 

[dantes]

Holy fuck. I was being sarcastic, but no. This fat fuck actually paid a black guy to make the video to get him out of a tight spot. Aaaajhajahsha you love to see it. Loool

I'm not criticising the people who did the report. They did what they could.

An honest journalist would point to the very limited nature of the operation and therefore the evidential value of it and that they report pointed to some problems that need to be rectified - they just so happen to exactly the areas where fraud is alleged to have occured.

Yet, the headlines just say there's no evidence of fraud.

The media are not doing their job with any respect for journalistic integrity.

I think the rule is you can't be elected more than twice, doesn't matter how far apart the two elections are. Seems there is a loophole, as nothing rules out becoming president in circumstances where you were not elected. So if Big D wins this presidency in the court, I think legally he has a case for a third term afterwards. I can but pray.

More likely he would be stopped from running again in 2024 as he himself believed and will continue to tap on twitter that he won 2 terms. I can but pray.

You'd have to be even more nuts than usual to want to run a country for the next four years. Economies on their arse, probable global depression. Fuck that.

Like taking over United after Ferguson. On a hiding to nothing.

Donsplaining on Trump's hilarious idiotic claims (and if Biden were to stumble like Trump, at around 20 mins, he'd be crucified). You have to be a moron to follow this guy.

Watching each attempt to claim fraud and vote rigging crash and burn is providing more fun than the election itself !

Three members of Trump’s campaign who are leading efforts to challenge election results in Michigan — which Biden won by roughly 146,000 votes — held a call with reporters on Tuesday night to announce an as-yet-unfiled lawsuit challenging their observers’ access to oversee ballots in the state. But at the conclusion of the call, a reporter with the New York Post asked the campaign about its reliance on an affidavit from a United States Postal Service worker who has since recanted his story, according to the Washington Post and the House Oversight Committee.

Richard Hopkins, the USPS employee, had told Project Veritas, an incredibly dubious organization that has frequently edited misleading videos and statements to benefit conservatives, that he had overheard the postmaster in Erie, Pennsylvania, tell a postal supervisor to backdate any ballots that came in after Election Day as if they had been received on time to be counted. Hopkins was not named in the initial Project Veritas video and his image was blurred, but the site later revealed his identity with his permission, the organization said.
On Monday, however, the Erie postmaster, Robert Weisenbach, posted on Facebook that Hopkins’ allegations were “100% false” and “made by an employee that was recently disciplined multiple times.” And on Tuesday, the Washington Post reported that Hopkins had told the USPS’s Office of Inspector General that his story was not true and that he had signed a new affidavit recanting his earlier story. The House Oversight Committee also tweeted Tuesday that the inspector general's office had informed committee members that Hopkins had signed the sworn affidavit that his earlier story was not true.

Republicans had already run with Hopkins’ statement. Donald Trump Jr., the president's son, has tweeted repeatedly about his allegations. Sen. Lindsey Graham has asked the Justice Department to investigate his claims. And Trump’s campaign included some of Hopkins’ now-rescinded testimony in a court filing on Monday asking the US District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania to delay the state from certifying its election results.

Asked Tuesday night whether it had any comment on Hopkins rescinding his claims, the campaign initially had no answer, leaving the line silent for multiple seconds.

Trump to dodge Biden inauguration ?

President Donald Trump simply doesn’t have the “inner strength” to accept his loss and attend the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden, according to his former fixer and personal attorney Michael Cohen.
In an interview with Ari Melber on MSNBC, Cohen discussed potential scenarios for the coming months, as his former boss continues to adamantly deny the results of the presidential election, refuses to concede and baselessly attacks the legitimacy of the voting processes that led to his loss.
Cohen said people needn’t be too concerned, because his former boss “talks a lot of nonsense.”
“It’s all a lie, 99.9% of everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie. He’s not going to stay in the White House past Jan. 20. They will remove him. He knows that,” Cohen said.

He again predicted that Trump might not return to the White House after he visits his Florida Mar-A-Lago resort for his Christmas break, and will stay there beyond Biden’s inauguration at noon on Jan. 20.
“I suspect he doesn’t even come back to Washington,” Cohen said. “I don’t believe he’s going to go to the inauguration because he himself fundamentally cannot sit in a chair knowing that the cameras are on him and that the world is looking at him as a loser. He cannot do that.” “He does not have enough inner strength in him to be gracious,” he added.

I don't think there's any evidence that Costello or anyone else other than the FBI had the contents of the laptop in December 2019

You might be right.

They didn’t get it till January.

You can listen to Isaacs CBS interview if you want.

The New York Times is not ethidence. This is ethidence:



Obviously there is no ethidence so the affidavit doesn't exist. What I mean is if that affidavit existed then that is what ethidence looks like.

"I specifically noticed that every ballot I observed was cast for Joe Biden.

Can I have my money now? I heard that fellow got 130k."

Perhaps this person was on the section that was counting the Biden votes?

That's for the defendants to challenge during cross examination. But when you're not a billionaire, your lawyer might be this guy.

Witness:
Will testify a bunch of Biden ballots turned up at 4.30am (as per his affidavit)

Data handed over during pre-trial discovery:
Will show Biden steaming into the lead at 4.30am due to a surge of votes (as per what we all saw during live coverage)

Defendant:
I plead the fifth your honour.

Judge:
