Sedition? Biden isn't even in office yet, the legal process is still being adjudicated until after the vote by congress. For four years we've heard nothing but how Trump is illegitimate because Russia "hacked" the previous election, this included a violent march on his inauguration where chargers were eventually dropped and dozens of calls to impeach him and a march on the White House during those calls to take him from it resulting in the use of the presidential bunker. Trump can hold all the rallies he wants, any unarmed sedition that involves a half million people and can be cleaned up to finish a vote by the end of the day may not be the end-all effort that you consider it to be. We've had state legislature buildings taken over and Trump has literally held dozens of rallys in every state without any violence. The statements for this one were already half-drafted waiting to have a cause filled in because the decision to remove Trump from social media and try to kill his populist movement was started before he took office. There is only one political party in America and has been for some time, Trump upended the balance of that and humiliated them by removing so many of the wedge issues that existed beforehand. Build a wall to control the border, create a massive immigration program that includes verification and full rights, thats what his speeches said again and again. No drugs, no criminals, no coyotes... The middle east bound together by mutual trade and diplomacy without western interference, no more issue there... a pentagon that faces regular audits and controls.. These things are very dangerous to the people who have deliberately set chaos upon us all.

Dozens of affidavits have been filled out regarding clerks changing signature verification rules, acceptance of ballots from 3rd parties, and other situations. This caused different areas within states to have disparate policies which is a very big problem. Even processes like opening ballots before election day to confirm they had everything they needed and contacting people who didn't were huge differences. In Wisconsin election officials changed how they would define indefinitely confined and allowed 200k+ ballots without identity verification based on COVID lockdown meeting the definition. The WI supreme court eventually ruled after the election that this was invalid, but since the ballots were already counted and couldn't be separated there was nothing they could do.

He believes that the courts should not have allowed what they do due to corona. Decisions were made, deeply costly decisions to throw away years of election rules carefully decided, often by unelected people in minor positions. The courts decision to not allow challenges was a decision. To act like this decisions were made because there was no debate when they were made is absurd.

Your party is in charge now, where is the joy? You have a roadmap to peace in the Middle East with a contained Iran and deep financial ties and prosperity for everyone else. You have a vaccine in record time to distribute, the presence of a border wall means you can now stand up and make an immigration deal and put that to rest, everyone who plays fair gets in and a path and has strong protections against exploitation, those who break the lawyer kicked out. You could legalize weed and control hard drugs to win the war on drugs and stop so much violence and death. You have charter schools everywhere to breath life into the inner cities and have them get graduation rates equal to their suburbs in a generation or less! Why focus on destroying the people who handed you this?

You can let a few hundred people dictate how you get to approach 75 million. This is what dictators do, it's how they get to think. You have to relax and look at the middle and trust in the rule of law and yell when the law is circumvented. Find anyone who you can point to and then kill a hundred innocents because that first person exists.

Comment Re: Disinformation campaign (Score 1) 692

It's an onion. The sudden changing of laws through a flurry of executive action at the state level, court actions, and even just having voting officials issue new rules on the local level all occurred as a first layer, citing Covid this happened in a timeframe before the election making any court remedy beforehand difficult. At the same time the multiple law firms lined up by the trump campaign at once said they could not go again COVID related policies and left. This includes new ballot procedures, actions in Wisconsin regarding definitions of indefinitely confined, etc. the second layer would be actions like traditional ballot fraud, fraud of multiple voting, dead voting, harvesting ballots at senior centers or while family couldn't access people and having staff fill out their ballots for an entire wing of a nursing home/etc. then you can get to the criminal weirdness like the many, many statements under penalty of perjury regarding people seeing stacks of ballots appear suddenly. You also have signature failure rates go to basically zero from being significant numbers in all previous years. You then have the more wide conspiracy involving the dominion machines counting mishaps in large cities where massive differences between voters and ballots still exist that can't be explained. Because video is illegal in counting areas, ballots were immediately destroyed, sometimes against court orders, and once a ballot is taken out of its envelop and counted it can't be reversed due to privacy requirements, evidence is near impossible to obtain.

I'm sure there will be a "deal" worked out immediately where all tech groups must submit to censorship to some central board or process that they can control and keep their smaller competition out of. The fact is they want chinas money, China has a plan and Donald Trump disrupted it and offering our tech class new fiefdoms and our political class pure cash is cheaper than playing fair.

Go look up everything declassified on the assault on the tea party. The endless banning and assault from all forms of government to ban legitimate groups while funding and authorizing groups that had bad reputation. These are government documents that show everything people had talked about happening was happening. No one was punished and the only thing they did wrong was threaten the power of our intellectuals.

"Mail in votes were allowed without question or verification, mail in votes had always been allowed without verification. A large part of the political literature of five years was now completely obsolete. Reports and records of all kinds, newspapers, books, pamphlets, films, sound-tracks, photographs--all had to be rectified at lightning speed. Although no directive was ever issued, it was known that the chiefs of the Department intended that within one week no reference to the former way of voting, or the debate of such practices, should remain in existence anywhere. " For people who won everything they are acting like defeated madmen intent on punishing the whole world. They see happiness and huge rallies full of happy people while they can get some teenagers to seize a police station or knock down a statue, it's broken so many.

What conspiracy theories? These positions are well documented and anyone with the wayback machine or another resource can easily chart the change in positions from week to week and the utter hostility towards those who consistently said things like "masks optional but encouraged" from both sides.
The train video of Uighur Muslims in China isn't the same as holocaust photos, and it isn't just masked, it is actively eliminated and related accounts stripped of monetization and other services. Media services in the major media are directly impacted against coverage by the elimination of their movies in the Chinese market.

I'm speaking of the same effect as politicians have moving to a state capital and suddenly finding out that any popularity/power requires adherence to the principles of those in the capital. The same can reverse as tech moves throughout the country.

Comment Wonder what this workforce change will do (Score 1) 238

What happens when your workforce isn't from Silicon Valley and you are asking some daughter of Texas or the Midwest to censor videos of people being loaded onto trains with shaved heads going to their death? Or when you ask her to remove posts that were considered settled science a week ago and bam accounts with them? Or ban an account that shows the latest data on a statistic hysterically highlighted the week before and shows how it changed? Whenever the zeitgeist decides to reverse step on vaccines and availability/masks/BLM coverage/etc? Are these workers likely to just "go" with it?
