So are there more cult members it the Trump camp, Democrat Russian Collusion hoax or man made climate change? Which one do you fall into?



Its scary how quickly the power brokers effectively put individuals into collectives, and we accept it.

I find it terribly dishonest that people want to focus on Trumps election bullshite


The Russia hoax should be the evidence anyone needs to explain the other attacks. But again, they will give soft deflections, and still believe Trump did something illegal with Russia because Daily Kos still says he did.

If a government will allow a political opponett to declare to a sitting President that I'm going to entrap Donald Trump and use the full resources of the DOJ and Intel agencies to help me, how in holy hell can you be so dismissive on mass mail-in fraud.

They have already proven the Law means nothing to them.

No. Observation and analysis of numbers isn't emotional...even if it turns out to be wrong

Her emotional reaction came before "observation and analysis of numbers", though.

She immediately thought "this election was fraudulent" and then went find data (from whatever source) backed this "gut reaction"

You combined 2 steps into 1.

That should be the only thing that matters. Taking shots at Powell and the rest of the indicted is just scoring pollical points. It's disingenuous at best.

What corroborating evidence was used in getting a FISA court to issue a surveillance warrant used to spy on Trump. And did those who presented the evidence know it was all a LIE? And yet, not ONE prosecution.

This makes, literally, no sense.

I'd estimate the % of auto-liability claims that get liability against the defense is over 98%. Probably over 99%.

Clear liability is the literal opposite of "some esoteric belief that a result was fraudulent".

Have you? You didn't even summarize the ruling correctly.

There were constitutional breaches in PA, and GA.

Cite me the rulings.

There was the still unexplained midnight count pause, with huge Biden jumps in every single such instance on count resumption.

Not legitimate evidence. Seems fishy? Certainly, but you have to actually get evidence of the acts.

Based off the article, Trump's team didn't file within the correct statutory period. Bad lawyers are a hallmark of Trump's history as President, so it's not shocking.

Can you read? I already said those people should have been prosecuted.

Those people aren't Adam Schiff, which is what you quoted a comment about.

Attorneys for the most part are ... not very bright
The average IQ for an attorney is only 114. I tend to agree that this is "not very bright." Only the 84th percentile.

The average IQ for the top law schools is between 130 and 135. Starting to get into "bright" territory there. 98th percentile.

Powell attended UNC, which is JUST outside that top tier. Given that she did not graduate with any honors, it is reasonable to infer that her IQ is somewhere near or just below that median.

It was the GOP. The court ruled that Trump’s challenge to voters who were indefinitely confined was without merit which based on the previous suit was preposterous. The basis for "too late" was the election had already occurred.

But that almost never happens and you’re well aware of that, which makes the “those people should have been prosecuted too” a meaningless statement.

Powell's "gut reaction" (aka emotional reaction) was that the elections were fraudulent (my argument is this was due to echo chamber repetition melting her brain).

Legitimate empirical evidence did not back this claim up.

She sought bias-confirming evidence from people who also had the same emotional reaction that the election was fraudulent.


none of the above.

she hoped that by assisting trump to defile the election and taking over she could have a seat at the table during trump as dictator.

TD posters frequently quoted her stories.
fell for it.

You're going to need to find the actual case b/c I imagine whichever grifter summarized this for you did it intentionally incorrectly.

Every time Powell spoke on camera it seemed she was losing her grip on
rationality.
