    It's incredible that such people are running the country and help shape policy. How long do you suppose such lunacy would be tolerated in China?

    Y'know I had Opera for a while but deleted it because I ran into problems- maybe because I blundered into a website I shouldn't have, dunno really but that seemed the easiest option. Anyways yeh, I think I'll download it again. It annoys me to not to be able to get a Youtube vid or whatever that is easily available elsewhere- although here it's usually because of 'Copyright issues'.

    Not available because some convict broadcaster has paid for the rights to it?

    Ex-Police Captain Indicted for Bonkers Voter Fraud Plot Targeting Innocent Repairman

    A former Houston captain who drove a repairman off the road and pointed a gun at him over a deluded belief that the man was hoarding fraudulent ballots has been indicted. A Houston grand jury charged Mark Aguirre with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon almost a year to the day since his arrest. Aguirre allegedly ran the innocent air conditioner repairman off the road because he thought the man was transporting tens of thousands of fake ballots for the 2020 presidential election. He pulled out his gun and ordered the man to get on the ground. Aguirre was apparently paid a pretty $250,000 to uncover voter fraud by the Liberty Center for God and Country, a conservative group that sought to prove the election had been stolen. (Spoiler: it hadn’t.) Cops searched the repairman’s vehicle and found nothing.


    “Aguirre victimized an innocent guy,” Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said. “He made this victim feel like he was going to die. And the fellow was not involved in any type of voter fraud.” Aguirre faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.

    If it was even possible for Fox News to swing even further to the rabid right, we get the news that Chris Wallace, the only decent journalist they had left, is ditching the c u n t s and moving to CNN+.

    Washington state Sen. Doug Ericksen dies at 52 after Covid-19 battle

    SEATTLE — Washington state Sen. Doug Ericksen, a staunch conservative, has died at age 52.

    Ericksen’s death Friday came weeks after he said he had tested positive for the coronavirus while in El Salvador, though his cause of death wasn’t immediately released. The state Senate Republican Caucus confirmed his passing Saturday.

    Ericksen, a Ferndale Republican, reached out to Republican colleagues last month saying he had taken a trip to El Salvador and tested positive for COVID-19 shortly after he arrived. Reasons for his visit were unclear.

    In a message to state House and Senate members, Ericksen asked for advice on how to receive monoclonal antibodies, which were not available in the Latin American nation.

    He soon arranged a medevac flight from El Salvador, former state Rep. Luanne Van Werven said. Van Werven said the next week that the senator was recovering at a Florida hospital. No further information about his location or condition had been released.

    Ericksen was a former leader of Donald Trump’s campaign in Washington. He also was an outspoken critic of Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee’s COVID-19 emergency orders, and had introduced legislation aimed at protecting the rights of people who do not wish to get vaccinated.

    It was unclear if Ericksen had been inoculated against the coronavirus. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says people should be fully vaccinated before visiting El Salvador, where current levels of COVID-19 are “high.”

    California Man Sentenced To 3 Years In Prison For Making Threats Against Political Officials And Journalists Relating To The Outcome Of The 2020 Presidential Election

    Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that ROBERT LEMKE, a California man who threatened members of Congress and journalists in connection with the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, was sentenced to 36 months in prison after previously having pled guilty to making threatening interstate communications. U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein imposed today’s sentence.

    U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said: “Robert Lemke, refusing to accept the result of the 2020 presidential election, sent messages threatening dozens of victims, including journalists, elected officials, and their families, for the perceived offense of stating the facts. Rather than attempting to effect change through the lawful forms of expression that all of us Americans still enjoy, Lemke sought to quell freedom of expression, to intimidate and instill fear in others by threats of violence. Today, Robert Lemke was rightly sentenced to prison for his conduct.”

    In addition to the prison sentence, LEMKE, 36, was sentenced to three years of supervised release.

    Rand Paul Ridiculed After Accusing Dems of ‘Stealing’ Elections by Persuading People to Vote for Them

    Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has accused Democrats of “stealing” elections by legally persuading people to vote for them—and people have quickly pointed out to him that’s simply how democracy works.

    Writing on Twitter, the senator quoted an article from the Washington Examiner about how Democrats carried Wisconsin in 2020 after losing it to ex-President Donald Trump in his 2016 victory. Paul’s tweet read: “How to steal an election: ‘Seeding an area heavy with potential Democratic votes with as many absentee ballots as possible, targeting and convincing potential voters to complete them in a legally valid way, and then harvesting and counting the results.’”

    CNN’s White House correspondent John Harwood then pointed out: “Convincing potential voters to cast legal ballots is how you win elections in a democracy.”

    Georgia State Law professor Anthony Michael Kreis replied: “This is what we call—wait for it—voting.”

    Ted Cruz’s Attack on ‘Power-Drunk Dems’ Fails Spectacularly

    Sen. Ted Cruz railed against “power-drunk” Democrats in Washington State on Wednesday night for COVID-19 restrictions he labeled “authoritarian”—but he quickly deleted his tweet when it was pointed out the “WA Government” he was picking a fight with was actually Western Australia.

    The Texas Republican apparently overlooked the kangaroos in the Facebook avatar when he pounced on the announcement, seemingly tongue in cheek, that masks are not required at private New Year’s Eve parties but “dancing is strictly not permitted.”

    “Blue-state Dems are power-drunk authoritarian kill-joys,” he declared in a since-deleted tweet sharing the Facebook announcement from the “WA Government” account.

    “Washington State: NO DANCING ALLOWED!!!” he wrote. “Any rational & free citizen: Piss off.” Cruz’s tweet quickly caused an uproar among Twitter users in Western Australia and was screen-shotted by several journalists before it was deleted.

    WA is a common abbreviation for Washington state, but the state has never been known to identify itself with kangaroos.

    Oh, dear….


    A reporter asked McConnell if he had a message for voters of color who were concerned that, without the John R Lewis Voting Rights Act, they were not going to be able to vote in the midterm. 'Well, the concern is misplaced because, if you look at the statistics, African American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as Americans,' McConnell said
