MAGA diehard and pillow magnate Mike Lindell is the next target of a Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit over his wild claims about nonexistent election-fraud conspiracy, with the lead attorney representing Dominion telling The Daily Beast he expects to file the suit “imminently.”
When reached for comment on Tuesday, Lindell was, characteristically, defiant. “That would so make my day because then they would have to go into discovery, and that would make my job a lot easier,” he said in a phone interview. “It’ll be faster for me to get to the evidence, and to show the people in the public record the evidence we have about these machines… I will not stop until every single person on the planet knows, whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican, what these machines did to us.”
This was similar to the defiant messages released by attorneys representing Sidney Powell as well. It would appear that neither Powell or Lindell are not shying away from a court battle.
Lindell has released one video so far that has gotten a lot of air play that "seems" to show proof of election fraud that centers around fake counts and possible machine hacking. He plans on releasing another in the near future that doubles down on the claims that the voting counts were not legitimate and casts more doubt as to whether the Dominion machines were used as part of the fraud.
From what I can gather, the main issue that troubles Dominion are the allegations that the voting machines had been programmed to provide weighted or doctored results rather than actually count the vote legitimately. The allegations contend that the reprogramming was either done by local officials or that the machines are susceptible to outside hacks that could allow a third party to reprogram them. There are even claims that there is evidence of hacking.
The videos in question seem to show strings of vote drops reported in multiple states that show exact same percentages of vote distribution. Obviously it would not be statistically possible for multiple vote counts to show exact percentages (down to several decimals) under any normal circumstances. Moreover there are some issues with negative vote drops that seem odd (if true). Lastly, these videos have been providing some form of logging that contends there was IP communications between the machines and other addresses not associated with the SOS office.
The tricky part (as a casual observer) is that if Powell and Lindell are basically just sticking to the claim that these voting machines were hooked up to the internet, could have been hacked, and that the possibility exists that they could be programmed to commit fraud, the underling fraud allegations are not necessarily against Dominion. It would appear that unless Dominion could prove that their machines have no internet access, that they are unhackable, and that such programming is impossible, the allegations against "them" would be technically true, even if the larger allegations of hacking were not. In other words, I don't believe Powell or Lindell have to prove the hacking or fraud to defend in the suit. They might only have to prove that the Dominion machines were susceptible to such hacking.

It's a very difficult task.
Unless he intended cause harm, the first amendment protects the Pillow man.
It's probably going to disappear because of the news coverage of the new President.

There is no credible evidence that these numbers are fraudulent, even according to William Barr and the guy the former fired, who is one of the most experienced computer geek.
Instead of going back to attempting to discredit the election, you should discuss the Republican civil war.

this was the first Presidential election where I watched votes being SUBTRACTED from one candidate and added to the other.
and then I watched the same thing happen in the GA run-offs.
not only was it fucking stolen, it was stolen right out in the fucking open.

Even Barr said that he's full of shit
Inflation Under Biden.
"The cost of goods surged 1.4 percent after rising 1.0 percent in December.
Economists polled by Econoday had forecast the PPI would rise of just four-tenths of a percentage point.
The faster-than-expected rise in prices will fuel criticism of the Biden administration’s $1.9 trillion stimulus bill. Critics have warned that the bill risks pushing inflation too high."
the same Barr you screamed to impeach a hundred times, alky?
LOL.
THWAP!!!
I just watched the interview with the gorgeous Vice President Harris on the Today show.
NBC news.
The CDC has also released guidance that says the reopening of schools should be tied to the rate of infection in communities. Under that metric, Guthrie said as many as 90 percent of schools might not be able to reopen.
When asked, Harris wouldn't say if it a mistake for the CDC to make the recommendation, but only said that it's merely a recommendation "about how to reopen safely if they've been closed, how to stay open if they've been opened."
------
Typical political speech on different issues.
----
The vice president also repeated President Joe Biden's statement Tuesday night at a CNN town hall that his administration's goal is to get as many K-8 schools reopened within the first 100 days of his presidency, allowing students to attend class five days a week.
"The issue here is not just about statistics — it's about our kids, it's about their parents," Harris said. "It's about the fact that every day our kids are missing essential, critical days in their educational development."
"Each day in the life of a child is a very long time," she continued, "And that's why we've got to collectively do everything in our power to reopen our schools as quickly as possible, as safely as possible."
----
Getting teachers tested is the priority.
Since the schools are run by local governments, getting employees and teachers immunize, needs funding and a national distribution program, the covid-19 recovery bill needs to get passed to get the job done to meet the goals.
Question: What is Joe Biden doing for my small business?
Jen Psaki's answer: "First of all, he nominated a woman to lead the Small Business Administration."
This is how she answers every question, by refusing to answer, but then talking about Diversity. By the way, the government is absolutely lousy with leftwing white women. This is not "diversity." Although leftwing white women think every industry they dominate (like publishing) is super-"diverse."

epic fucking fail.
Vice President Kamala Harris repeatedly dodged questions about the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidelines on school reopenings under the Biden administration in a Wednesday morning interview.
Speaking to NBC’s “Today” show, Harris was pressed continually on the CDC’s guidance released last week on their phased reopening of schools, specifically on the point that teachers are not required to be vaccinated.
Asked if it was a mistake that the guidance would keep 90 percent of schools closed for in-person learning, Harris would only say that it was the administration’s priority to get schools’ doors open.

U.S. Retail Sales Rose Strongly on Stimulus in JanuarySales rose 5.3% after three consecutive months of declines during the 2020 holiday shopping season
By Harriet Torry
Updated Feb. 17, 2021 10:37 am ET
U.S. shoppers sharply increased spending in January, buoyed by stimulus payments that many households received in the most recent virus-relief package.
Retail sales, a measure of purchases at stores, at restaurants and online, rose by a seasonally adjusted 5.3% in January from a month earlier, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. The increase followed three months of decline during the holiday season. It was the strongest gain since last June, when the economy was in the process of reopening from pandemic-related closures.
“It’s hard not to see a message here that the stimulus worked in January to support a turnaround after a decline in early winter,” said Robert Rosener, senior U.S. economist at Morgan Stanley, referring to the $600-a-recipient stimulus checks distributed in early January.
Republicans who worry about the deficit are hypocritical assholes.

you're a liar, a hypocrite AND an asshole, alky.

Jan. 6 was a shameful day. A mob bloodied law enforcement and besieged the first branch of government. American citizens tried to use terrorism to stop a democratic proceeding they disliked.
There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone. His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended.
I was as outraged as any member of Congress. But senators take our own oaths. Our job wasn’t to find some way, any way, to inflict a punishment. The Senate’s first and foundational duty was to protect the Constitution.
Some brilliant scholars believe the Senate can try and convict former officers. Others don’t. The text is unclear, and I don’t begrudge my colleagues their own conclusions. But after intense study, I concluded that Article II, Section 4 limits impeachment and conviction to current officers.
Everyone agrees that “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors” exhaust the valid grounds for conviction. It follows that the list of persons in that sentence—“the president, vice president, and all civil officers”—likewise exhausts its valid subjects.
If that list of current officers is not exhaustive, there is no textual limit. The House’s “sole power of impeachment” and the Senate’s “sole power to try all impeachments” would constitute an unlimited circular logic with no stopping point at former officers. Any private citizen could be disqualified. This is why one House manager had to argue the Senate possesses “absolute, unqualified” jurisdiction. But nobody really accepts that.
I side with the early constitutional scholar Justice Joseph Story. He observed that while disqualification is optional, removal is mandatory on conviction. The Constitution presupposes that anyone convicted by the Senate must have an office from which to be removed. This doesn’t mean leaving office provides immunity from accountability. Former officials are “still liable to be tried and punished in the ordinary tribunals of justice.” Criminal law and civil litigation ensure there is no so-called January exemption.
There is a modern reflex to demand total satisfaction from every news cycle. But impeachment is not some final moral tribunal. It is a specific tool with a narrow purpose: restraining government officers. The instant Donald Trump ceased being the president, he exited the Senate’s jurisdiction.
I respect senators who reached the opposite answer. What deserve no respect are claims that constitutional concerns are trivialities that courageous senators would have ignored.
One House manager who lauded the Constitution when the trial began now derides it as “a technicality.” Another called this pivotal question “a loophole.” Talking heads fumed that senators had let legal niceties constrain us. I even heard that only senators who voted for conviction had any right to abhor the violence. That’s antithetical to any notion of American justice. Liberals said they condemned the former president’s rules-be-damned recklessness. But many apparently cannot resist that same temptation.
Consider the claim that I could have steered around the jurisdictional issue by recalling the Senate between Jan. 14 and Jan. 20, while Mr. Trump was still in office.
The salient date is not the trial’s start but the end, when the penalty of removal from office must be possible. No remotely fair or regular Senate process could have started and finished in less than one week. Even the brisk impeachment process we just concluded took 19 days. The pretrial briefing period alone—especially vital after such a rushed and minimal House process—consumed more than a week.
President Biden, who knows the Senate, stated as early as Jan. 8 that his swearing-in was the “quickest” possible path to changing the occupant of the White House. Especially since the House didn’t vote until Jan. 13, any legitimate Senate process was certain to end after Inauguration Day.
Here’s what the scheduling critics are really saying: Senate Republicans should have followed a rushed House process with a light-speed Senate sham. They think we should have shredded due process and ignited a constitutional crisis in a footrace to outrun our loss of jurisdiction.
This selective disregard for rules and norms is a civic disease that is spreading through the political left. Senate Democrats relished the legislative filibuster and used it frequently when they were the minority party. Now only two of them pledge to respect it. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has threatened Supreme Court justices by name, and other Democrats submitted a brief demanding the court rule their way or be “restructured.” As recently as September, fewer than half of Democrats professed confidence that elections are free and fair. In November, that number shot up to more than 90%—because they liked the result.
The nation needs real constitutional champions, not fair-weather institutionalists. The Senate’s duty last week was clear. It wasn’t to guarantee a specific punishment at any cost. Our job was to defend the Constitution and respect its limits. That is what our acquittal delivered.
Mr. McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, is U.S. Senate minority leader. RINO.

How one Texas storm exposed an energy grid unprepared for climate change
Electric grid regulators said the U.S. will have to develop vast supplies of power storage — such as gigantic batteries — that rely on emerging technologies.

WASHINGTON — A devastating winter storm that has plunged Texas into an electricity crisis offers warning signs for the U.S. as the Biden administration seeks to prepare for a future in which extreme weather is a greater risk and America is almost entirely powered by renewable energy.
Generating energy is one challenge. But an equally daunting task centers on storing power from renewable energy for extreme events like the one hammering Texas.
In Texas, the center of a wave of outages across the Southern and central parts of the U.S., the primary electric grid suffered a one-two punch wrought by the deep freeze: off-the-charts demand for power as Texans tried to heat their homes and power plants that simply failed to produce power when people needed it the most.
----
During the Great Depression FDR built a system to provide electricity to the rural areas all over the country.
If President Biden uses the recovery package to reconstruct the primary grid and provide charging stations across the country.
It would create millions of union construction jobs. Union construction workers built the county.
Alky the TVA was built around known technologies not emerging technologies.

Rush Limbaugh has died
Rush Limbaugh, the monumentally influential media icon who transformed talk radio and politics in his decades behind the microphone, helping shape the modern-day Republican Party, died Wednesday morning at the age of 70 after a battle with lung cancer, his family announced.
Limbaugh's wife, Kathryn, made the announcement on his radio show. "Losing a loved one is terribly difficult, even more so when that loved one is larger than life," she said. Rush will forever be the greatest of all time."
The radio icon learned he had Stage IV lung cancer in January 2020 and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Trump at the State of the Union address days later. First lady Melania Trump then presented America’s highest civilian honor to Limbaugh in an emotional moment on the heels of his devastating cancer diagnosis.

There is no credible evidence that these numbers are fraudulent, even according to William Barr and the guy the former fired, who is one of the most experienced computer geek.
Never heard Barr suggest that the DOJ spent any time reviewing any of these vote drops, much less coming to any specific conclusions about them. Why would they, as they are not technically the sort of "evidence" that would warrant a criminal investigation (which is what the DOJ does).
The fact that Barr stated that they had not yet found any evidence of voter fraud to the degree to change the election was not (contrary to popular liberal belief) a blanket statement demanding that anything anyone alleges anywhere at anytime is demonstrably false. It simply was what he stated within the context of his job. They had not found substantial evidence of criminal voter fraud.
Questions about whether or not voter drops coming in with the same percentages are more questions for mathematicians, statisticians, and those who understand how vote drops work. Again, we do not know what is or isn't true, what explanations there are, or much of anything. The reality is that unlike 2016 (where we had five investigation and spent millions investigating Trump/Putin "collusion") - we have not really spent a dime to investigate any of this.
So it cannot be conclusively discounted at this point. Never will be no matter how hard the left tries to declare it so.
Trump let the Russia/Trump collusion "investigation" continue even though it was run by rabid democrats.
Democrats wouldn't even let a 10 day investigation into alleged voter fraud as proposed by Senator Cruz go forward.
Speaks volumes.
Now democrats are suing to not disclose and turn over vote documents, even defying court orders. If course they even defied court orders during the election.
