GOP is the party of family values Hahahaha
Revealed: MAGA rioter who walked huge Confederate flag through US Capitol stormed building with his son who smashed to lead the mob into Congress.
Kevin Seefried and his son, Hunter Seefried, of Laurel, Delaware, turned themselves into the FBI in Wilmington, Delaware on Thursday.
Kevin Seefried has been identified by investigators as the man who carried the Confederate flag into the United States Capitol during the MAGA mob riot on January 6.
Seefried and his son, Hunter, are both charged with misdemeanor counts of trespassing and disorderly conduct. Hunter also faces an additional charge of destruction of property.
Kevin told investigators that he brought the Confederate flag from his home, where he normally flies it outside the residence.
Hunter is alleged to be cleaning up part of the glass from the window that was shattered just moments before he and scores of other rioters climbed through and into the Capitol building.
The father and son are alleged to have been part of a group that 'verbally confronted' several Capitol Police officers.
The two men were photographed alongside other prominent MAGA rioters, including the 'QAnon Shaman' Jacob Chansley and Aaron Mostofsky, the son of a Brooklyn Supreme Court judge.
Stockholm University in Sweden has made 2-year "Visiting Professor" contract offers to both father and son to adjust their rankings among educational institutions.
The Empire (Republicans) will Strike Back...I for one can't wait!
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2521996]The one place where a judge allowed a voting machine to be examined, there was a 70% error rate. All the other judges did not allow the machines to be examined. [/QUOTE]If you choose not to accept the outcome, and cling to some other alternative reasoning, then that your choice. We all take solace in what we believe to be true.
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2521996] People riot when there is not a fair court system. [/QUOTE]I think a more accurate statement is, that people riot (or protest) when they feel an injustice has been levied against them by an imposing authority. Sometimes it take very little, such as an apology, to right a wrong.
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2521996] In Georgia, Trump charged election officials of kicking out neutral election observers and sneaking in ballot boxes. Those unobserved counters scanned in 24,000 votes, and Trump lost the state by 12,000. [/QUOTE]Sure that was the claim made, but none of it was substantiated. Anyone can make unsubstantiated claims, "Agent Orange" makes several a day. Proof is in the pudding. Where is the evidence? The Burden of proof?
When Rudy Giuliani, argued this very same discrepancy in the courts with video evidence, he failed to show the entire video footage. Those so called "sneaked in ballot boxes", were securely locked ballot boxes, that were already there and tucked away under tables, just before the ballot counters were told to go home. Then these poor unfortunate, exhausted and tired ballot counters were ask to comeback and continue working. So they re-open the securely locked ballot boxes they had just locked away. Giuliani, ONLY SHOWED the portion of the video where, it looks like they come in and opened newly so called "sneaked in ballot boxes". When in fact they had been there all along. The judge saw right through Giuliani's and Republicans' charades.
Even Republican appointed election and committee overseers have ALL stated there has been NO ELECTION FRAUD. NO ELECTION FRAUD or VOTER FRAUD!
Qualified lawyers (on both sides Rep. / Dem.) have argued and deliberated, many of the same arguments you've mentioned (especially Georgia) and Republicans lost in every case and were overwhelmingly defeated in every state they contested. I am not a lawyer, but if you happen to be pretty good lawyer and know the ins and outs of electoral constitutional voting laws. Then perhaps your arguments have more weight than I give them credit. By all means enlighten us, some more.
I will say this much, IMHO of any system that is broken (ie. Democracy, Capitalism, the Justice System, the Police, Corporate Welfare, Health Care, Economic Inequity, Housing. Etc), the Election Counting / Certification of Americans voting at the Ballots, isn't one of them. Both Democrats and Republicans take this part of their Democratic Constitution very, very seriously. (Well that is up until "Agent Orange" decided on a "no loose. Mus win by any means presidential gambit".).
Now I'm not talking about gerrymandering, voter suppression or a myriad of other tricks and traps, that BOTH PARTIES employ, but the official count, once the ballot has been placed in the ballot box. I think this is very sacred to both sides in order to ensure fair and just democracy. Time and time again electoral officials have stated the error rate of electoral voting count is very minor and does not impact the outcome.
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2521996]Of course, you do not care about that Paulie as long as your side wins.
Now that cheating is allowed the Republicans will do it 10 X more viciously than Democrats and you all are going to lose your asses next time. That is what always happen, and I hate that. There would have been no riots had these fraud cases been heard. Their being dismissed was complete bullshit. [/QUOTE]In 2016, I thought that dear Ol'Hillary and Democrats won, especially with a convincing 7+ million in the popular vote. I feel even more gutted today, knowing that they stopped counting in several states (ie. Florida) and did not take into account the uncounted mail-in votes. Those votes may have given the Democrats the win. Not to mention losing to Bush in the courts in 2000. But hey, I guess those are the breaks. Naturally is just all speculation...right? So you win some, you lose some.
So to say cheating is "NOW ALLOWED", well that maybe a bit disingenuous and a bit of an oxymoron. I submit that, the unfortunate pastime of political "cheating" in US politics as always been present. Just take a look at, gerrymandering, voter suppression, voter redistricting, the removal of hundreds of voting stations in black / brown districts, the striking of 10's of thousands of black / brown registered voters off voter registration lists, but to name a few. My personal favorite is, the removal of mail-boxes, mail sorting machines and limited postal workers, from all over the country, right before a general election. Most all of these, have been long standing methods of "cheating".
Personally, I think the Republicans are way better cheaters than the Democrats. Let me say, some of the doozies, that they came up with this time, was just jaw-dropping Machiavellian guile. Look, when COVID-19 sought to make voting even more difficult with longer lines and longer hours, especially in black / brown districts with 1 polling station in the nearest 10-15 miles. Republicans thought to themselves "yippie!
• But then COVID-19 helped more people realize (especially COVID-19 fearing Democrats), ". Hey no problem, we'll just vote by mail".
• But in true Machiavellian fashion and not be out done by COVID-19 and mail-in voters, Republicans hatched a scheme to remove as many US mail-boxes, mail sorting machines and limit postal worker schedules, as much as they possibly can, from all over the country.
• Man, did I laughed my socks off, "...Ahhhhh! Genius! Pure genius! I literally laughed out loud. I was laughing so hard, I was crying...Kkkkkk! And with "Agent Orange", declaring voting by mail to be fraudulent, it was an icing on the cake.
• Ahh yes! But like "Best laid plans of mice and men", it was not to be.
Both parties know how the game is played. I'm just not sure why the Republicans are still crying in their beers. But fear not, much like yourself, I too think Republicans with return, with even more insidious schemes, even more Machiavellian plans and I for one can wait to see how they top the scheme to remove as many mail-boxes & mail sorting machines as they possibly can, from all over the country. Genius! Pure genius!
