  1. Something Fishy In Edison County
    December 1, 2020 By Taegan Goddard

    A witness in Sidney Powell’s new Michigan lawsuit challenging President Trump’s loss in the state says in a declaration he thinks there’s something fishy about election returns in Edison County, Michigan.

    Bridge Michigan notes one problem: There is no Edison County in Michigan.

    1. Those poor, gullible people. how can anyone still believe in him?

      You know, there are some truly hateful and vicious comment on Biden's Thanksgiving message to the nation. People really believe Biden is a criminal who stole the election from Trump and he should be in prison. Trump is taking money under false pretenses, undermining our very democracy and poisoning a sizeable fraction of the population against the President Elect. And there is nothing that can be done to stop him!

  4. 256 COVID tests taken last Friday in Vermont will have to be redone, because they were being sent to a lab in Massachusetts and UPS left them sitting in a warehouse for 50 hours, which meant they were no longer viable. To make matters worse, when the State notified the 256 persons by email, they inadvertently included everyone's emails for every one to see!! Heh.
    First goof in hundreds of thousands of tests, but still.

    2. Did any of the critical events take place on the graveyard shift? I ask because a lot of things go wrong then, presumably because humans are not nocturnal, although they are often expected to simulate it.

    1. I should have thought that it would have reappeared at the antipode of its original location, i.e. somewhere around Saint Paul and Amsterdam Islands, in the southern Indian Ocean.

  9. “Mr President, it looks like you likely lost the state of Georgia. We’re investigating, there’s always a possibility, I get it. You have the rights to go to the courts. What you don’t have the ability to do – and you need to step up and say this – is stop inspiring people to commit potential acts of violence. Someone is going to get hurt, someone is going to get shot, someone is going to get killed, and it’s not right. It’s not right.”

    — Georgia elections offiial Gabriel Sterling, making an impassioned plea to President Trump to tone down his rhetoric disputing the election results.


    I beg to differ; he certainly does have the ability to do that, and he obviously is doing it, not for the first time.

    1. Just goes to show, words matter. Having the right and having the ability are two totally different things. Trump indisputably has the ability to incite violence. What he doesn't have is the right to do so. It's a pity this election official ruined an eloquent appeal by using an inappropriate word. Aren't people taught anymore what words mean and how to use them?

    2. That's not a new problem, Cat. Confucius identified it as a major problem in government back around 500 BC.
