I sure as heck believe it and said Kavanaugh was a snake a few weeks ago. Another member on here defended him, but he's a Roberts disciple. Is that exactly how it went down? I don't know, but I'm sure it was pretty freaking close.

The Founding Fathers risked their lives and fortunes against insurmountable odds. These people won't risk their seats at the Kennedy Center.

I'm taking the article about the shouting match between the Justices with a metric ton of salt. Reads like click bait to shake the donation tree. Besides this does not read like a opinion of two justices having just left a debate described as a screaming match. Rather tame wording and docile language used to describe something supposedly filled with shouting emotions. This does not read like a opinion disgruntled justices reached it's very matter of fact.

Not exactly a scathing dissent. Nothing to read between the lines.

I don't know what was or was not said behind closed doors at SCOTUS. What I do know though is the decision by SCOTUS to punt this case confirmed unquestionably they are exactly what I've come to understand them to be....complete cowards who now sit on a court that is all but irrelevant to more than half of the country. Roberts had already driven them down this path with several other case decisions, and with their unwillingness to step up and do their jobs, they have proven themselves to be more in line with the enemies of this country than those who want to protect it.

Sidney Powell: Trump Could Trigger 2018 Executive Order on Foreign Election Interference

https://www.theepochtimes.com/...reaking-2020-12-13-4

Lawyer Sidney Powell asserted that due to alleged foreign interference in the Nov. 3 election, “it’s more than sufficient to trigger” President Donald Trump’s executive order on foreign interference issued in 2018.

In September 2018, Trump signed an executive order that says “not later than 45 days after the conclusion of a United States election, the Director of National Intelligence, in consultation with the heads of any other appropriate executive departments and agencies (agencies), shall conduct an assessment of any information indicating that a foreign government, or any person acting as an agent of or on behalf of a foreign government, has acted with the intent or purpose of interfering in that election,” according to the text of the order.

Powell told The Epoch Times she believes due to that executive order, it can give Trump “all kinds of power … to do everything from seize assets to freeze things, demand the impoundment of the machines,” referring to voting machines.

“Under the emergency powers, he could even appoint a special prosecutor to look into this, which is exactly what needs to happen,” Powell added. “Every machine, every voting machine in the country should be impounded right now. There’s frankly more than enough criminal probable cause to justify that, for anybody who’s willing to address the law and the facts purely on the basis of truth and not politics, or corporate greed, or global wealth.”

For the past month, some, including Maricopa County GOP Chairwoman Linda Brickman, as well as Powell, have alleged Dominion Voting Systems’ machines allowed for votes to be switched from Trump to Democrat candidate Joe Biden. Dominion has pushed back, saying that it’s not possible to change votes, while asserting it has no ties to foreign governments and does not allow its employees to engaged in vote-tabulation efforts.

Powell noted that Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe has only a few days left until he is to prepare his report to the president, according to the September 2018 executive order. It’s not clear when—or if—Ratcliffe will issue the report as no public confirmation has been given so far. Little mention has been made of the executive order since it was issued more than two years ago.

Should Ratcliffe issue his order, “It’s going to blow the mind of every citizen in the country who’s willing to look at the truth and the facts,” Powell remarked. “Because there’s never—we’ve never witnessed anything like this in the history of this country. And it’s got to be stopped right now or there will never be a free and fair election.”

The order also stipulates that “within 45 days of receiving the assessment and information,” the heads of the Department of Justice and Homeland Security and “any other appropriate agencies” shall deliver a report evaluating the U.S. general election.

That includes “the extent to which any foreign interference that targeted election infrastructure materially affected the security or integrity of that infrastructure, the tabulation of votes, or the timely transmission of election results; and if any foreign interference involved activities targeting the infrastructure of, or pertaining to, a political organization, campaign, or candidate, the extent to which such activities materially affected the security or integrity of that infrastructure, including by unauthorized access to, disclosure or threatened disclosure of, or alteration or falsification of, information or data,” it says.

Believe it if you chose to. My opinion is the "screaming match" allegation needs more independent confirmation than "from a source deep inside the US Supreme Court". Until then, it smells like BS.

Seems to me that senior Justices Alito and Thomas would be happy to authenticate it if it were true. If a SCOTUS justice refuses to uphold the Constitution for fear of civil unrest, wouldn't that amount to malfeasance and impeachment?

I don't want to fling insults back and forth. You're stating your opinion as fact. It wasn't even the highest turnout (percentage wise) in U.S. history. Population grows and numbers get bigger.

And I may suffer from a bit of boy who cried wolf syndrome. I haven't read every affidavit, or examined every lawsuit in depth, but I've done a few. I don't know if it was just luck of the draw but here are a couple a I looked into.

There was the truck driver Morgan that claimed he was drove thousands of ballots from NY to PA. There is nothing beyond his statements to back it up so we have to take him at his word. This is also a guy that talks about how "shadow people" are haunting himself and his family. Does a belief in crazy ghost stuff mean he's lying about the ballots? No, but he doesn't seem like somebody that's a credible witness.

The super duper military intelligence guy SHOCKING BOMBSHELL affidavit that Powell was using as a centerpiece of her cases. Turns out he was a mechanic that washed out of intel training and was never an intelligence analyst of any sort. He now claims he made that clear to Powell from the beginning. So is Powell incompetent or a liar? Or is he? I don't know, but I do know that whatever the case with them the SHOCKING affidavit didn't have anything criminal in it, or even anything very suspicious.

Those are just two examples. There are more. A lot of the claims of fraud fall apart when actually examined. Are their legit ones? Possible, but after seeing so many fall apart I sort of lost interest and trust in them. That's kinda on me, but also on them for promoting so much bullshit.

And early on I stopped trusting Giuliana and Ellis. They'd talk a lot about all their fraud evidence on TV and at hearings. When actually in a courtroom before a judge these are actual quotes from them. There are many more.

Guiliani - “This is not a fraud case"
Goldstein (when asked if their was fraud related to ballots in a PA case) = “To my knowledge at present, no.”
Here's a joint declaration from attorneys representing the Trump campaign in another PA case = "“Petitioners do not allege, and there is no evidence of, any fraud in connection with the challenged ballots.”

How far into fantasy do we want to go? Now it's because the Supreme Court was threatened or owned by the Chinese? Somebody else has already mentioned the word delusional a couple times. When the other option is that there is a huge conspiracy involving hundreds if not thousands of people from both major political parties and including judges ranging from a state court all the way up to the supreme court...what's next? The Illuminati? Aliens? Lizard people from the hollow earth?

But you're going to get them.

I cannot speak for him but I suspect Para might write something like this at this point: "There's more than enough negative "news" about Trump, his supporters, and the election elsewhere on the Internet, etc. People come here to share hope."

I'll not gainsay you, unless you come up with outright fabrications or the like, but neither can I suggest what you're doing here, now, is a wise course of action.

Yes, I've seen those things reported on the two you mentioned. I've seen other reports impugning other witnesses and experts.

But not all. I've seen some that have struck me as credible. Enough to suggest something well may have been awry.

As much as my own confirmation bias wants this to be true ...
I need to see something beyond academics saying sleepy winning isn't statistically possible. Please...I beg of you show me some irrefutable proof.....at that point I will absolutely agree with some saying martial law needs to be declared....until then all this noise is just noise.

The real shame in all of this is the corrupt FBI sitting on their fucking hands during all of this.

And don't get me started about Barr holding back the crackhead biden investigation.....

The cold rage that has laid dormant for 12 years is getting warmer and warmer

President Donald Trump tweeted Saturday that he intends to “declassify everything,” over his own apparent concern that the Department of Justice and Attorney General William Barr withheld information about an ongoing DOJ investigation into Hunter Biden, the son of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.

What about what I posted was fantasy? I gave you summary vote recaps for three candidates for president. And I opted specifically not to go down the rabbit hole of all the affidavits and other allegations. I simply made the statement (my opinion if you will) that it is both physically and statistically impossible for an individual such as Joe Biden (a mentally defective relic, and three time loser, who has the personality of a wet towel and for all purposes did not campaign and was hidden from voters) to get 80+ million votes, the highest vote tally in American history. Can you imagine the level of excitement and support that would be necessary in the populace to generate that result for anyone? Could Biden win votes for president? Absolutely. There are a massive number of retards and morons in this country who will always vote for what is worst for the country. Could he win 80+ million votes for president? Not a chance. Not one. Harris could never garner more than 4% of the Dem presidential primary vote, and couldn't even win her home state of California, so she added absolutely nothing of value to the general election equation. Was fraud committed manually, systematically, or by multiple means? I don't know, but the outcome definitely would lead a rational thinking person to sermize massive fraud has occurred somewhere in the process.

Joe Biden did not win this election and will never be president of the US in the hearts and minds of over half the country. But Joe Biden will continue to do massive harm to the US (and very likely other countries around the world).
