You guys are going to believe this... BREAKING NEWS: The election fraud conspiracy theorists finally found real election fraud...and it was one of them. MAGA freedom caucus leader and Turning Point USA exec Austin Smith surrenders to the fraud allegations against him and quits his race for the legislature. Austin was accused of having over one hundred fake signatures on his nomination petitions, and he was personally the circulator for those petitions. At least two people signed sworn affidavits saying they did not sign Smith's petition, yet their names and fake signatures were on it. Many signatures looked the same and were strikingly similar to Austin's handwriting. It was egregious. Smith quit rather than defend himself, which is basically an admission of guilt. Why else would he surrender rather than fight. Turning Point and the MAGA faithful would have provided more than enough money to hire the best defense attorney available. This election fraud must be investigated and prosecuted. Hopefully, Secretary of State @Adrian_Fontes will make a criminal referral to @AZAGMayes to investigate what appears to be blatant fraud on our elections. I look forward to all of the MAGA election deniers calling for an investigation.

Rhule learned last year that even vague, tangential statements will be used by Colorado as rage fuel, so he made a point not to give the reporter anything. The whole gist of the article is manipulative. It was pretty obvious the reporter was trying to drum up controversy.

Happy five-year anniversary of the release of the Mueller report, and this ringing endorsement of Orange Man Bad's virtue: "As set forth in our report, after that investigation, if we had confidence that the President clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said that. We did not, however, make a determination as to whether the President did commit a crime."

The word they should have used was "reallocate," because the non-crazy people pimping "defund the police" wanted to use some of the public funds that go to police for things like first-responder mental health intervention. Basically, instead of the police having to deal with people experiencing mental health crises, trained mental health professionals would be the first responders. But "Reallocate funds currently given to law enforcement to instead be distributed to better mental health responses" isn't as catchy as "defund the police!" That's where Republicans have just run circles around Democrats, for decades now. They absolutely understand how to provide succinct, easy-to-remember phrases to their constituents that convey a clear, direct message.

I'm curious why everyone is willing to throw NPR into the trash heap of biased journalism based on one person's statement. How much vetting has been done on Berliner's allegations? Here's one thread about that. These are just the first few posts. It's a long thread. Berliner does regurgitate Republican talking points that we keep seeing right here on HuskerBoard from everyone's favorite goalpost-mover. Why does someone who's apparently willing to fudge facts get so much up-front credibility?

This is a race issue. They've said it out loud - they want more White babies being born in America.

Anyone watched Resident Alien? I just finished season 1 on Netflix. Is season 2 & 3 worth watching?

Without looking it up, can anyone tell me why people were gluing their hands to countertops? Without looking it up, can anyone tell me why protesters were throwing soup on paintings? I just don't think these kinds of protests move the needle in a direction the protesters want it moved.

The House GOP is a complete clown show. They're going after yet ANOTHER Speaker. Granted Johnson is about the bottom of the barrel, but dang, this is a mess. This never happened when Nancy Pelosi was running the show. She had her caucus in line.

Twice impeached. And now this. The ultimate Republican.

I thought Joe was supposed to be "sleepy."

Correct. But Congress lacks the will to do so (or are being actively encouraged not to do so).
