Deferring to Mr. Nice on this - but I kinda think Smartmatic doesn't have much of a case. Their machines were barely used in the 2020 election, but then again, they could argue that they're now cut off from the U.S. market because of these fucks.

They have a great defamation case. The fact that smartmatic was only used in LA county California highlights how bad the lies about the company were. Fox is probably going to settle this for a lot of money.

She makes a fair number of gun posters on SA panic a couple times a year, because they forget her name and don’t seem to understand how bills work. Or are sometimes just hunting for any excuse they can find to keep voting R.

So the person that the GOP appointed to the Education committee who openly supported the conspiracy that Sandy Hook was fabricated has the full support of her peers to remain in that committee.

In fairness I don’t think anyone in TFR votes R. I mean honestly skyshark (who I actually met once and was a good guy) was the last thing to a conservative poster there...well ignoring PECOS. :lol:

Yes. She is a mainstream republican now. Whether or not that is an albatross around their necks remains to be seen.

There are at least two or three other active posters I could name off the top of my head (and a number of people who just whine in the TFR discord about how bad TFR is) that are unashamed republicans.

What happened? I only dick around in a few threads over there.

I started a bunch of poo poo on a FB AR page by replying to a Fox News screenshot about Biden's Gun Control with "I guess you all didn't own guns under Obama. Strap in for 4 years of this Chicken Little bullshit."

Comments proved my assessment correct.

PM me if you want, its really offtopic for CE. Basically a serial threadshitter called out a good poster as racist and they ate a (horribly unjustified) probe over it and never came back to SA since.

Do they really go back to being private citizens again? I mean they carry the title, protection and pay for the rest of their life right?

Personally I think presidents should be "retired" to doing charity work the rest of their life. Like building low income houses just like Jimmy Carter. It will never happen, but I wonder what type of potential presidents we could get if that was a thing. Make becoming president like entering a monastery.

Jeff Bezos donated 10 Billion to combat climate change. Say what you want about the guy but that can do some serious good and, I believe, that is more than the federal government pledged in the last 4 years.

I mean the Armand Hammer museum is cool and all... But not worth the Great Depression and wartime economy the Rothschild's and Rockefellers gave us. If a billionaire actually solved our problems they would spend an equal number on publicizing it.

No way, you need 2/3rds for an expulsion vote. This more or less makes MTG legislatively irrelevant, as most backbencher House Members get a *little* policy power by being on a committee. She's just going to suck up attention and that's it.

Also holy gently caress McCarthy is terrible at his job. Democrats expected 0 defections and got 11. Literally bad at his job.
