    This election nonsense by Trump may end up splitting up the Republican Party. I just don’t see how the one third (?) who are principled conservatives can stay in the same party with Trump sycophants who are willing to sign onto the TX Supreme Court case.

    We also saw the alt right types chanting “destroy the GOP” in Washington today because they didn’t keep Trump in power. I think the Q types will also hold the same ill will toward the traditional Republican Party. In fact its quite possible that all the voters who are really in a Trump personality cult will also blame the GOP for his loss. It’s only a matter of time IMO before Trump himself gets around to blaming the GOP.

    There is some discussion of this on Twitter. What do you all think?

    Here's one the people you and other's here post quite often. He got caught manipulating this video to try to link Fuentes to DeSantis. This is the same guy who quit his job in support of the fraud Rebecca Jones and he still has a tweet pinned to his Twitter account about her. Aaron Rupar has been caught doing similar things. Click on the tweet to see the note about how he edited the video.



    But...but Glenn Greenwald!

    Why did you quote me when you didn’t address my post with anything of substance?
     


    I'm not going to argue that all Republican voters endorse this insane ideology but I assure there is a non-insignificant number of them who do. I have personally run across them.

    Certainly @Farb has some reasonable concerns about woke-ness going too far vis-a-vis gender issues with children but, Farb-o, if you want to know why I will never consider voting for a Republican who doubles-down on culture war insanity (be it Trump or DeSantis), look no further than this video. I would rather die than enable anyone even remotely close to this screwball to come into a position of power or influence.
     
    Wanna be suprised? not really...lol
    In a Truth Social post on Monday morning, Trump declared, “Massive numbers of ‘BROKEN' voting machines in Republican Districts on Election Day. Kari had to be taken to a Democrat area, which was working perfectly, to vote. Her opponent ran the Election. This is yet another criminal voting operation – SO OBVIOUS.”

    Where are the democrats who lost demanding they won and should be installed and refuse to certify elections????


     
    White evangelicals have developed the dubious reputation of championing morally compromised political candidates — ones who seem to run afoul of their professed values.

    They overwhelmingly supported Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020, and on Election Day this year almost nine out of 10 White evangelicals in Georgia voted for the supposedly antiabortion rights Herschel Walker — who allegedly paid for two abortions and once put a gun to the head of his ex-wife while threatening to kill her — over Baptist minister Raphael G. Warnock.


    A new documentary on Hulu focusing on former Liberty University president Jerry Falwell Jr., the first major evangelical leader to endorse Trump in 2016, also reveals that some of the religious right’s most influential leaders are as morally questionable as the politicians they support. But for many evangelicals, the ends always justify the means.


    “God Forbid” chronicles how Falwell, at the same time he was playing presidential kingmaker, engaged in business ventures with Giancarlo Granda, a former pool attendant who allegedly had a seven-year sexual relationship with Falwell’s wife, Becki — one Granda charges Falwell encouraged.


    While on the surface this looks like the same old tired story of religious hypocrisy, it is much more than that.


    When one digs beneath the tawdry bedroom shenanigans, the story exposes how leadership sometimes functions in the religious right, and how Christian activists’ obsession over political power has transformed American culture.

    Despite some claims to the contrary, fundamentalists and their evangelical successors always engaged in politics.

    By the mid-1970s, they focused on issues including rolling back the power of the state, removing sex education from public school curriculums, opposing gay rights, fighting feminism and, as abortion became a priority of feminists, restricting the procedure.


    But they had not yet linked those issues to the success of a particular political party.


    In fact, in 1976, Democrat Jimmy Carter looked to White evangelicals like a godsend. When reporters on the campaign trail asked the Southern Baptist about religion, he claimed to have a “personal relationship” with Jesus Christ.

    On the heels of the Watergate government corruption scandal, Carter seemed to be exactly what the country needed. As one minister famously exclaimed, his initials were even the same as Jesus Christ’s…….

    Alex Jones Files for Bankruptcy

    The Infowars broadcaster has been ordered by courts to pay about $1.5 billion in damages to Sandy Hook families hurt by his promotion of conspiracy theories.

    "WASHINGTON — The Infowars fabulist Alex Jones filed for Chapter 11 personal bankruptcy on Friday, citing nearly $1.5 billion in damages juries awarded this year to the families of Sandy Hook shooting victims, who won a series of defamation cases against Mr. Jones after he lied for years about the school shooting.

    The filing in the Southern District of Texas in Houston comes atop the bankruptcy filing by Free Speech Systems, Infowars’ parent company, in late July. The new filing could further delay payment of the verdicts for the families, who would need to seek payment through the bankruptcy courts alongside other creditors. But it could also force a greater degree of scrutiny on the finances of Mr. Jones’s empire."

    It’s going to be interesting to see if he can get those judgments discharged - I think the general rule is that judgments intentional torts (defamation included) are not dischargeable in bankruptcy. If that’s the case, he’s not going to ever get out from this, even with bankruptcy.
     
    Elon was going to release all the Hunter Biden facts about thirty minutes ago, but he's checking out some facts, so will be about an hour late.

    Is this how you stable genius?

    "Facts" He's going to release "facts," After seeing that I already know this is not something worth waiting for.

    He's going to release collected opinions, and narratives, with miscellaneous and sundry theories pinned to them at best.
