[PJ] Former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman, who led an audit of the 2020 election in his state, testified that the election was so corrupt that the state legislature should "take a very hard look at the option of decertification of the 2020" presidential election.
"It is clear that the Wisconsin Legislature could lawfully take steps to decertify electors in any Presidential election, for example in light of violations of state election law that did or likely could have affected the outcome of the election," Gableman’s report reads. However, it said that doing so would not impact the results of the election.
"It would not, for example, change who the current President is," the report concedes.
Gableman spent three hours detailing his finding before the Wisconsin Assembly’s elections committee, but his calls for decertifying the election were met with bipartisan criticism.
"Still not legal under Wisconsin law," Republican Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke tweeted. "Beyond that, it would have no practical impact b/c there is no Constitutional way to remove a sitting president other than through impeachment or incapacity. Fools errand. Focus on the future."
According to the Associated Press, much of Gableman’s 136-page interim report attacked the millions of dollars in funding from a controversial Mark Zuckerberg-backed foundation aimed at increasing Democratic voter turnout—often referred to as Zuck Bucks—which have since been banned or restricted in at least ten states.
"His report also criticized how the state handled nursing home ballots during the pandemic as well as absentee ballot drop boxes," the AP reports. "He recommended dismantling the bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission that Republicans created."
Biden’s state-certified victory in Wisconsin was just under 21,000 votes and is not the only battleground state with a slim margin of victory that may have been affected by irregularities. For example, last September, a forensic audit of the 2020 presidential election vote in Maricopa County, Ariz., found 53,214 ballots impacted by irregularities of medium, high, and critical severity. Joe Biden’s margin of victory was only 10,457.
[Federalist] Nearly $9 million in Zuckerberg grant funds directed solely to five Democratic strongholds in Wisconsin violated the state’s election code’s prohibition on bribery. That conclusion represents but one of the many troubling findings detailed in the report submitted today by a state-appointed special counsel to the Wisconsin Assembly.
Last August, Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos authorized the Office of Special Counsel, headed by retired state Supreme Court justice Michael Gableman, to investigate concerns about election integrity and the 2020 election. Gableman delivered an interim report to the state assembly on November 10, 2021. Earlier today, the special counsel provided a second interim report to the state legislative body, noting the report "is final in the sense that it provides a list of recommendations with time for the Legislature to act before the close of its session in March."

Barr was a huge disappointment. He made a good call at the beginning and then fizzled--Deep State tool. He didn't have the temperment to be Attorney General.
[The Federalist] n a desperate bid to console a nation reeling from crises he created, President Joe Biden delivered his first official State of the Union Address on Tuesday.
The Democrat attempted to downplay his plummeting approval by promising to do better in his second year in office but instead offered a speech riddled with falsehoods and contradictions.
While Biden’s address was supposed to breathe new life into his presidency, Americans are meanwhile plagued with rising prices, a southern border crisis, and now an overseas conflict that leaves them feeling like "the State of our union is in crisis because of Joe Biden." Here are 17 absurd lies Biden told during his State of the Union speech.
’FREEDOM WILL ALWAYS TRIUMPH OVER TYRANNY’
Biden opened his speech by praising the lack of Covid-19 theater in the legislative chambers and claiming that "freedom will always triumph over tyranny."
The audacious claim comes just a few months after the president tried to force the coronavirus jab on American workers, pushed his administration to work with Big Tech to censor his political opponents, and smeared Republicans as domestic terrorists for caring about their children’s education.
POWERFUL SANCTIONS STOPPED RUSSIA
Days after Biden said U.S. sanctions against Russia weren’t expected to "prevent anything from happening" in the Ukraine conflict, the president claimed that he leveraged powerful punishments against Vladimir Putin, which stopped the Eastern European in his tracks.
"A Russian dictator, invading a foreign country, has costs around the world," Biden said. "And I’m taking robust action to make sure the pain of our sanctions is targeted at Russia’s economy."
Twenty-four hours before Biden’s contradictory statement, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters that the sanctions "are meant to have a deterrent impact" against Russia.
Vice President Kamala Harris, national security adviser Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and other Cabinet members also promoted sanctions as a way to stop Putin from invading Ukraine.
I’M ALWAYS HONEST
Biden told Americans, "I will be honest with you, as I’ve always promised," but The Federalist’s regularly updated lie tracker proves that claim is far from the truth.

I still am not seeing any reports of the viewership numbers. Sorta like when a perp's name or picture is kept out of the press, it's a sign that the truth ain't pretty, from a leftist perspective, anyway.

I watched it, but I don't think I fall in the category of viewer they were aiming for.
It was weird.
Was on Fox, because opposition! or whatever, and the channel prelude shouldn't count as part of the speech, but some dude went on and on explaining why people on board with W. should get on board with Biden because polling cousins or something. Switched to a better predicate for 2022, Super Troopers, until closer to showtime. Gets there, and we start running late. Real late. Neoclown runs out of things to talk about late, so real-life Ken tries to fill the air, runs out of things to say, panics and starts describing what the speech will say. Video in the capital, everyone has done their strut, said their bullshit, and they start getting the awkwards. Finally after much shuffling and escorting Biden is on stage, and he's on his 3rd pot of coffee which is weird, because he pretty much needed to be gently folded into the limo. Anyways, he gets going, and I'll leave that to transcript and call out what bullshit the content was. Like I said, 3rd pot of coffee and the pacing is off. We're breezing through pauses, interrupting applauses, and just about to sell some Micro-Machines. Couple stutters here and there, nothing too outrageous, but by golly we ain't stuttering tonight! Woot! Voice was very tin, like what you would expect from the greatest politician in history I guess. Visually it was alien to me, and maybe that is the state of technology, but I grew up in a world Vinyl, and this looked MP3, almost too crisp and saturated, almost like a filter. The Cackle Twins looked like portraits in Hogwart's Castle and like someone gave them gum to remind them to stay quiet and not give each other the stink eye. Everyone looked 2-D, and Biden kept reminding me of that visual trick used to make Kung Pow. Like, I was wanting to see some gopher-chucks come out. I think he got the full montey applause for saying he would throw a bunch of cash at The War Caucus, because for some reason, war is cool again. Cut, fade, back to real-life Ken who begins to explain why I should have liked the red carpet style event, civilly skipping the fashionable commercials that particular channel ran in the lead up, but I'm faster and click off, go to bed, late because better rating at west coast prime time, second nap, whatever.

Excellent review there, swksvolFF. Truly inspired. Probably a whole lot better than the actual speech. I don't know. I didn't watch. But I did record it. Now I'm wondering whether I should watch the recording or not.

Abu, do you not get to see and hear enough bullshit on a daily basis? If not, go watch it.

Only for the campiness, and I suggest something other than tea or the reality of a room full of people who are trying to figure out how to rob you then kill you, with your permission, might get in the way what a whole bunch of money backed by very little talent is train wreck failure fun. Premature ejaculations. Price is Right winner's face. Awkward long arm embraces. The Cackle Sisters doing what they can to not look at each other. Totally worth the aspirin and extra cup of coffee, in that aspect. Like, they are going to tell you Biden showing up late was one of those power moves to assert dominance, nah, not at all, shit I though he fell down between the limo and the stage and hurt himself it was so long and awkward. Imagine watching Final Jeopardy, the music ques, the contestants fill in their answers, song ends...then plays again...and again...and again. Then one more time, all the while the host is trying to keep face that this is normal but the contestants are totally baffled when the third time starts.

it's the end of the world as we know it, I feel fine
like grabbing the western idiots who are pushing us over the brink and locking them in a dungeon

Perhaps. Perhaps he derailed and thought about the millions made laundering Uranium in the Ukraine.
Either way, I am no longer going mad wondering how he managed to talk so long without a wrong word and/or slur. Confirmed when Kamela, who is not only a bitch but a bit addled herself, mouths a correction, probably unconsciously.
Abu, there is apparently a top 10 flubs and slurs out, so maybe worth actually listening to him? Don't know.

Offer them...."to live in Montana. And marry a round American woman and raise rabbits, and who will cook them for you. And have a pickup truck... maybe even a "recreational vehicle." And drive from state to state."

Surrealistic. A nutjob has been foisted upon the American people. Who are the people who did this? Why aren't they in jail? They've got to be some of the most evil power hungry ass$oles on the planet.
[Breitbart] In the wake of the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears (R) called on President Joe Biden to rethink his energy policy.
Sears lamented on Tuesday’s broadcast of FNC’s "Fox & Friends" that Biden canceled the Keystone XL pipeline his first day in office. She urged him to "reopen" the pipeline and "take care" of what he has "command of" in the United States.
"[Y]ou see, we don’t live on this planet by ourselves, Mr. President," Sears directed at Biden. "You have Russia. You have China. You have North Korea. You have all of them. And so, you must call on people who will make demands of you to understand whether America is all ready for all comers. So, we need to find that out. Why won’t you reopen the Keystone pipeline? Why won’t you stop? As a matter of fact, we are importing energy from Russia. You know, why are we doing that? We have the means to produce it here."
She added, "We were free from depending on outside countries for our energy, and as soon as he came into office, his first day, he killed the Keystone pipeline, killed all those jobs and all the other attendant jobs with it. So, we can be energy independent, and it depends on this president. And instead, he is telling other countries like Saudi Arabia to release more oil, more barrels. Really? Why don’t you take care of what have you command of, Mr. President, here?"
The affair is seedy, but when political opponents talk to reporters about it, that’s traditional dirty politics. And the lady has been working hard and publicly to demonstrate that she has turned her back on ISIS.
[Breitbart] Texas district-three Republican primary candidate Suzanne Harp ripped Rep. Van Taylor (R-TX)
...proud Iraqi War veteran...
for allegedly paying ‘ISIS Bride’ Tania Joya
...Bangladeshi-British former wife of the senior Westerner in ISIS, she was known as Joya Choudhury Tania before she and the kiddies left ISIS (and Islam) to settle with her former husband's parents in Dallas, spilling all she knew to the authorities. There she remarried, baptized her children as Christians, and celebrated the Jewish holidays with her dear friends at the local Reform synagogue, followed by working to reeducate other ISIS wives and kiddies...
to keep quiet about a raunchy affair that Breitbart News first reported Monday.
“These allegations against congressman Van Taylor are disturbing and entirely unbecoming of a sitting U.S. Representative,” Suzanne Harp wrote in a press release, citing Breitbart News’ Monday reporting.
“We cannot afford to dismiss these allegations outright; if they prove true, it not only could be highly embarrassing for Texas’s third district, but also dangerous to have compromised and corrupt representation in Washington,” she continued.
As Breitbart News reported, according to documents ‘ISIS bride’ Tania Joya shared with Breitbart News, Taylor was engaged in a sexual scandal with Joya that allegedly lasted from November 2020 to June 2021 — during which time she says Taylor paid her $5,000.
Being a politician’s mistress isn’t nearly as lucrative as I expected, assuming her tale is true.
The payment, she claims, was paid in cash given to her by the congressman. Joya showed Breitbart News banking records that demonstrate she made a $5,000 deposit into her account when she says the affair occurred.
Taylor is married with three children and was first elected to Congress in 2019 as a Republican. Taylor voted in favor of enacting the January 6 Committee. Breitbart News reported:
Joya told Breitbart News her affair with Taylor began in October 2020, and they became intimate in November 2020.
“He considered me his girlfriend. He labeled me his girlfriend, his mistress,” Tania told Breitbart News. “I told him that I found him attractive. After that for an entire month, every day during October 2020, he wouldn’t stop messaging me like crazy. It was just so distracting. He was going crazy for it.”
“He said he wanted me to be his loyal, faithful, and permanent mistress,” she claimed.
Joya is originally from the U.K. but moved to Syria in 2013 after she met John Thomas Georgelas, an American-born convert to Islam, jihadist, and supporter of the Islamic State.
Mr. Georgelas took the Muslim name Yahya al-Bahrumi, and was also known as Yahya Abu Hassan. After a stint in American prison for plotting to hack the AIPAC website, he took his family to Morsi’s Egypt, leaving for ISIS in Syria only after the Muslim Brotherhood government was overthrown. After Tania Joya left him, he became the right-hand man of ISIS chief strategist Abu Muhammad al-Adnani. Georgelas was killed in 2017 in northern Syria, fighting for ISIS...
After being treated badly by Georgelas, she fled and worked with American authorities “so we could drone him,” she said of Georgelas to Breitbart News.
Joya now lives in America and met Taylor a few years ago.
Taylor is seeking reelection in the third district of Texas in a tough five-way primary race. Taylor needs to win at least 50 percent of the vote to avoid a runoff.

If it's an affair, what's wrong with it? He didn't coerce her. And it's best to set the bar low these days when speaking of what's 'becoming of a sitting U.S. Representative.'

I did go look a picture of her up. Definitely not worth seeing. Not worth wrecking a political career over. Not worth paying for the dubious privilege.

Taylor will be in a run-off, but looks pretty safe. Harp came in a distant third:
Taylor (R) 31,168 48.7
Self (R) 16,959 26.5
Harp (R) 13,319 20.8
Williams (R) 1,721 2.7
Ivanovskis (R) 814 1.3

Yes. Larry Craig's "wide stance" as opposed to Katie Hill's salmagundi approach.
At this point I'm pretty jaded about it and I'd imagine so are most other people. Still, as long as one politician thinks they can use that sort of accusation against another, it will remain part of the game...

When will they put "None of the above" as an option on ballots.
This is the key to fixing the Uni-party. If None Of The Above wins, the election is a do-over, but with new candidates. We're getting tired of the "lesser of two grifters" thing.
