There's as much evidence for election-changing "ballot harvesting" as there is for Joe Biden's impeachment. And we know how well that's going. I get that the right likes to fantasize about wrongdoing by their political opponents. But we're going to need to start seeing some proof before we pretend our elections are being subverted. Without that, it's just going to be chalked up to another fantasy pushed by Orange Man Bad's fragile ego (stop the steal! he squealed).

This is a flat-out lie, just like the lies the conservatives gave Congress before being affirmed. Every one of them said Roe was settled case law, untouchable. And then they ruled on Dobbs, and here we are.

It's not a coincidence people call her "Moscow Marge."

Jail is definitely one of the possible outcomes.

GOOD! Michigan school shooter’s parents sentenced to at least 10 years in prison PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) — The parents of a Michigan school shooter were each sentenced to at least 10 years in prison Tuesday for failing to take steps that could have prevented the killing of four students in 2021. Jennifer and James Crumbley are the first parents convicted in a U.S. mass school shooting. They were found guilty of involuntary manslaughter after prosecutors presented evidence of an unsecured gun at home and indifference toward the teen’s mental health. Ethan Crumbley drew dark images of a gun, a bullet and a wounded man on a math assignment, accompanied by despondent phrases. Staff at Oxford High School did not demand that he go home but were surprised when the Crumbleys didn’t volunteer it during a brief meeting. Later that day, on Nov. 30, 2021, the 15-year-old pulled a handgun from his backpack and began shooting at the school. Ethan, now 17, is serving a life sentence for murder and other crimes.

I'm glad I'm not the only one bothered by this.

I'm quite well aware of who those people are.

The candidate Republicans chose is not getting great reviews.

"Praying Grandma" is in disbelief that people who commit crimes should face proper punishment. Maybe it's because she chose to believe lies told by Orange Man Bad. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I am still in utter disbelief by Thursday’s verdict. Never in my life did I imagine my own government would charge me as a criminal for exercising my religious liberties and rights to free speech, which are guaranteed by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. They are trying to stop our voices, put fear in our hearts and take away the inalienable rights given to us by God. But I will not let that happen to this praying great-grandma as long as I have breath. #j6prayingrandma The reply to her tweet. Boom. Roasted.

Looks like the guy who offered to cover Orange Man Bad's bond isn't able to produce proper assurance of liquidity. Letitia James to Begin Claiming Donald Trump's Properties: Lawyer An insurance company will not be permitted to post a $175 million bond for Donald Trump while he appeals a fraud judgment, a former federal prosecutor has said. Eric Lisann was reacting to a separate comment by another lawyer, Dave Kingman, who wrote that Knight Specialty Insurance will not be able to post the bond for Trump. Kingman wrote that, as a result, New York Attorney General Letitia James will be able to begin enforcement proceedings on Donald Trump's properties. A New York court has rejected Knight Specialty's paperwork and said it wanted to see more information on its financial backing. The company filed new paperwork on April 4. Trump must post the $175 million bond to prevent James from beginning enforcement proceedings after a judge fined the former president $454 million in February for fraudulently inflating the value of his assets. Writing on X, formerly Twitter, one-time federal prosecutor Lisann wrote that Knight Speciality might not be able to post the bond for Trump and will be liable for the full amount because it had given a guarantee to the court. "Looks like there is a real possibility that this Don Hankey-owned Knight Specialty Insurance does not itself have liquidity, and did not get from Trump collateral, sufficient to provide legally cognizable assurance that it can pay $175 million on demand in the event of a judgment-affirming appeal," he said. "But the Trumpian part is that even though, or perhaps because, it may be part of a Trump scam, Knight now too may be on the hook for $175 million as it won't automatically get out from underneath its own proffered surety." Hankey, a billionaire, has already said that his company will be able to post the money for Trump. He was reacting to a comment on X by lawyer Dave Kingman, who wrote that Knight will not be able to post the $175 million. "Understand that Knight Specialty has a problem. This bond cannot be approved. Under the CPLR [Civil Practice Laws and Rules] the surety will remain obligated under the bond until a replacement bond is filed. Trump is unlikely to get a replacement bond. Knight Spec will be liable AND Trump won't have a stay [on enforcement]," he wrote. sadtrombone.mp3

Interesting that, among those who have an axe to grind with the initial government response to Covid, their ire is directed at Fauci and not the guy occupying the White House, who directed much of that response.

I don't want this reply to be buried in the weekday nonsense. I apologize, @DevoHusker. You did not say this. I was conflating you with @nic That's my bad.

The Heritage Foundation is the fount of Project 2025. Your source is part of the Heritage Foundation. You can't pause for one second and agree maybe that's not an accurate source? I can draw up graphs on Excel and claim they show Biden created 87 bazillion jobs. You think that's "visual evidence" of anything?

It'll take me a while. But yeah. No problem.

You just posted a rebuttal to Biden's job report from a guy from The Heritage Foundation, and you're arguing the point right now. The Heritage Foundation is the foundation of Project 2025, Orange Man Bad's fascist agenda.

The person you're trying to reason with admitted to trolling P&R for laughs. The tweet they're basing this conversation on came from someone from The Heritage Foundation.
