A hypothetical Trump deposition and why it would be a waste of time:

"Mr. Trump on Day X did the US Attorney General tell you that your Georgia election claim was false? Remember you are under oath."

"I can't recall"

*shows evidence that he was indeed told*

"Mr. Trump on Day X did the Assistant US Attorney General tell you that your Georgia election claim was false? Remember you are under oath."

"I can't recall"

*shows evidence that he was indeed told*

"Mr. Trump on Day X did the US Attorney for Georgia tell you that your Georgia election claim was false? Remember you are under oath."

"I can't recall"

*shows evidence that he was indeed told*

"Mr. Trump on Day X did the Georgia Secretary of State tell you that your Georgia election claim was false? Remember you are under oath."

"I can't recall"

*shows evidence that he was indeed told*

"Mr. Trump on Day X did you then go on television and assert those claims after you were told they were false"

"I can't recall"

*shows evidence that he did*

Checked for ports. Not USB drives, but USB ports. Like if you flip up their pinkies, little sockets open up where you can charge your phone.

It's really minor in the scheme of the crimes and it's really just him being an old man with a brain made of soup, but he literally asked that we check if election workers are loving cyborgs. He's worried about rigger droids.

It was a a ginger mint. Whatever the gently caress that is. But Rudy can tell from his years as a prosecutor that it was really a USB drive with an election virus on it and that this young woman and her mother were ring leaders of massive fraud. In any other bullshit case like this, they'd say it was crack. Hell, if anything, I bet those ladies were ready to loving go home and probably pissed when the magic fraudulent ballot "suitcase" showed up because it meant they had to keep working. For what I'm SURE is a very very high inflation causing wage.

I laughed out loud at that "USB port" thing also. Hell, I'm a criminal probably 20x over by that measure. There's evidence if USB ports all over my loving house and several drives laying around in various junk drawers just waiting for directives from Lord Soros to unleash and clandestinely hand to an underpaid poll worker. You think that Rudy has evidence of AV or component cables and VHS equipment in his house? Someone needs to look into that.

Also, I wanna say that even if that Bowers dude is a Republican and thinks the constitution has something to with Jesus, that guy seemed all right and I'd go as far as to say he pretty much owned.

Another thing that gets me is how "surprised" Trump's teams acted that absentee and mail in ballots were counted late in a lot of states and overwhelmingly favored and voted for democrats after they spent an entire year telling their voters not to use mail ins or absentee ballots and show up on election day instead. There's also the bullshit where they pretend that all of these ballots just showed up out of nowhere like a miracle that proves a Fix when, in many states, it was GOP legislation that made it to where none of them could be counted before election day so poll workers were overwhelmed.

I'm starting to think that Republicans don't always argue in good faith.

Also, "The gang who couldn't shoot straight" got a chuckle out of me.

Steppian and company from hearing day 2 pretty much put to rest any idea that the Red Mirage or Blue Wave was any kind of unexpected thing that they hadn't been told about or know in detail the mechanics of and the why of it.

Personally, I think Trump experienced a Blue Wave in 2016 and since he knew it was going to happen again in 2020 but even more so started negging it mid summer, if not earlier, to intentionally give him running room for his fraud claims.

I'd bet money that if you could get his 2016 team to testify they'd tell you about how Trump understood it all too well.

lol lincoln project was dumb as hell but the key part there is that only 93% of republicans voted for trump. If he hadn't alienated so many he would've won.

Also the actual numbers of his support are obfuscated by the amount of people who ceased identifying as republicans between 2016 and 2020 (who were largely offset by the newly activated voters). Likely these would be among the 10% of independents as well as the ~10% of lean-conservatives that biden picked up in 2020 compared to 2016 (Trump lost ~4% of lean-Rs in 2016 to 14% of lean-Rs in 2020)

as an aside, lol at that david sirota article, dude would like the world to know that he is not mad
93% is not low, that's literally the amount Regan got in 1984. Lol.

From RopeCenter:

Regan 1980 - 85%
Regan 1984 - 93%
Bush 1988 - 92%
Bush 1992 - 72%
Dole 1996 - 81%
Bush 2000 - 91%
Bush 2004 - 93%
McCain 2008 - 90%
Romney 2012 - 93%

Trump's support is at the high end.

So that's within normal modern Republican voting margins. 93% is the same Republican of support Regan got in 1984. Lol.

That 93% voted Romney and 93% voted Trump 2020 and they both lost significantly, where 93% used to be a slam dunk just tells you that the Republican party is shrinking.
