Is this one of those places where we say the fines need to be wealth based?   Cause Iâ€ve not heard this at all and frankly THIS is the one place I could get behind that…

LMAO thats a basic wire story every media outlet ran. Hell read the Fox version to the end they credit TMZ for breaking the story and basically ran what they reported.  Common every day stuff.  Not Political commentary . Thats a stretch by any sense of the word.  Lets pull some stories from 2020 on the " Mostly"  Peaceful Protests by Comparison.

This was the first topic that came to mind.  If you have another one you want to compare, I'll find the articles.

I won't give you the satisfaction of wasting my time....... I give it when i feel bored, like when its 95 D and 70% H and i'm stuck inside for the day.

Plus i actually was alive in 2020 and witnessed 1st hand on the Daily and Nightly News the lies coming into my House. Burning buildings in the background , Looting, Gun Shots, and some CNN Reporter standing on a corner telling us how " Mostly" Peaceful " the latest night of Rioting has been. We all watched it. No need to have you try and dispel and lie about what we all know.

Again, I'm talking about articles written for the web.  Nobody should expect only facts when watching talking heads on Fox, CNN, MSNBC, etc.  If you're watching anderson cooper, you can expect eye rolling and emotional liberal spin.  If you're watching Tucker Carlson, you get conspiracy theories and tin foil hat garbage.

The GOP has no chance in 24'.  The Dems have perfected cheating.

It will be a lot harder without the cover of Covid keeping observers away, new verification laws in places like Georgia, etc...   but, yeah they will try to pull their usual game.  That said I suspect we will see massive brawls breaking out at polling locations when people confront the cheats

Look for heavy FBI involvement to "protect the integrity of the polling places and our democracy".

Given that a significant number of people believe anyone with a Twitter account is a legitimate news source, we likely do need law enforcement involvement in elections. That doesn't mean there's actual election stealing going on, it just means people believe most anything they read online.

Bwhahahaha now we "need the feds".

^^^^But, again, none of this has anything to do with running down to an arena, where votes are being counted, because some yahoo on Twitter claims something^^^

What about running out and burning and looting entire city blocks because CNN and MSNBC reported that Michael Brown was shot in the back while holding his hands up?

I don't recall CNN or any other news source reporting that.  If they did, that's pretty stupid.  It doesn't change anything that I'm saying, but it's irresponsible and stupid.  ALL news outlet get things wrong, are bias, etc.  That's why you shouldn't trust any one source completely, much less trusting anything you read on Twitter....  as Syncro found out regarding the charges against Paul Pelosi supposedly being dropped. Trusting Twitter for facts is foolish. It's even more foolish to trust anything an utter moron like Lauren Boebert says (which I suspect was his source)

Liar!

All 4 of them on a CNN panel all held their hands up and repeated the same lie.

Oh they did that and that is just one event they lied about and irresponsibly reported in dishonest fashion that resulted in riots, looting and other damage to people.  The problem is you ignore what the MSM does, which because of the large audience they speak to does much more damage than other sources, and single out a guy on Twitter.

Can you tell me your news source that has never lied or gotten things wrong and is unbiased?

There's a difference between occasionally getting something wrong and intentionally lying through your teeth 24/7/365 for a decade.

Lmao.  It also means Pelosi and her friends will have to answer questions.  Then things would implode in short order.  

It also means other committee members would have to own up for, GASP, "trying to overturn the outcome" of previous elections, even though in 2020 the electors weren't even certified yet.  No one tried to overturn anything.  Trump could challenge.  The clowns on the left have been duped since day one of Trump's election victory.  

People, they LIED TO YOU FOR A SOLID 4 YEARS!  And you're going to buy a one-sided committee?   This is a hoot.  The GOP should be holding simultaneous hearings.  Friggin layup.

“The Trump campaign knew these claims of voter fraud were false yet they continued to barrage small-dollar donors with emails encouraging them to donate to something called the ‘Official Election Defense fund.†The select committee discovered no such fund existed,” she added.

Trump raised $250m to fight non-existent voter fraud but gave most of it to his own PAC, Jan 6 committee hears


Donald Trumpâ€s presidential campaign raised $250 million from supporters by telling them the money would be used to fight voter fraud, but the campaign knew those claims of fraud were bogus and instead diverted the money to his own political organisation, the House committee investigating the January 6 attacked claimed on Monday.

Mr Trumpâ€s campaign sent millions of fundraising emails to supporters encouraging them to donate to help fight voter fraud between election day and January 6, the committee said. Many of those emails asked supporters to donate to an “election defense fund” for legal cases related to the election.

However, an investigator for the committee said that fund did not exist, and most of that money went Mr Trumpâ€s ‘Save America†political action committee, not to election-related litigation.


The evidence highlights how the Trump campaign pushed false election claims to fundraise, telling supporters it would be used to fight voter fraud that did not exist,” said Amanda Wick, senior investigative counsel for the House committee.

“The Trump campaign knew these claims of voter fraud were false yet they continued to barrage small-dollar donors with emails encouraging them to donate to something called the ‘Official Election Defense fund.†The select committee discovered no such fund existed,” she added.

House committee member Zoe Lofgren, a Democratic congresswoman from California, said President Trump “used the lies he told to raise millions of dollars from the American people.”

We all knew it was a grift in real time. They had a small print disclaimer saying funds could go to PAC. He is not guilty of a crime for this.

I agree that there's no crime, just fleecing of supporters.

Feds search home of former DOJ official tied to Trump's efforts to overturn election

Federal agents searched the Virginia home of former Trump Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark on Wednesday morning, according to multiple sources with direct knowledge of the activity.

It was unclear which federal agencies conducted the search, but one neighbor who witnessed the law enforcement activity said they saw officials entering and exiting the Lorton, Virginia, home after arriving there early Wednesday.

A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C., said they "can confirm there was law enforcement activity in that area yesterday," but declined to comment on specific individuals or the nature of that activity.

A lawyer for Clark did not respond to a request for comment.

On Monday, the committee used recorded and live testimony from people in Trumpâ€s inner circle to demonstrate that the claims of election fraud being raised by Trump and his supporters were investigated and that they repeatedly turned out to be bunk.

Former President Donald Trump thinks the House select committee investigating the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol shouldnâ€t be investigating the attack, but instead investigating the claims of voter fraud that spurred the attack. But Trump must not be watching the hearings, because they are about those claims.

So far, the hearings are less about the specific acts committed on that day, and more about the disinformation campaign Trump waged before and after the 2020 election. This campaign told millions of Americans a lie, convinced them it was true and inspired hundreds to attempt to violently disrupt the countryâ€s democratic process. The hearings have shown how Trump continued to promote the “Big Lie” even as his advisers told him it was nonsense, dozens of court cases attempting to prove fraud were dismissed, and investigators failed to find any evidence of fraud. The hearings have centered on the systemic rot of Trumpâ€s denialism, and how that culminated in the Jan. 6 attack. The focus of the hearings is twofold: the disease of misinformation, not just the symptoms of its malignancy, and how that disease, when left unchecked, can devolve into a violently destructive force.

On Monday, the committee used recorded and live testimony from people in Trumpâ€s inner circle to demonstrate that the claims of election fraud being raised by Trump and his supporters were investigated and that they repeatedly turned out to be bunk. Taped testimony from Bill Stepien, Trumpâ€s campaign manager for 2020 and former Trump Attorney General Bill Barr, as well as live testimony from Benjamin Ginsberg, a Republican election lawyer and BJay Pak, a former Trump-appointed U.S. attorney in Georgia, told stories of various claims being chased down to no avail.

Stepien recalled a claim, for example, that noncitizens had cast illegal ballots in Arizona. “And with the margins being as close as they were, as previously described, that could potentially matter,” Stepien said. So he asked Trump campaign attorney Alex Cannon to look into it. “I recall that the response to that, the reality of that, was not illegal citizens voting in the election, I think it was like overseas voters voting in the election. So obviously, people who were eligible to vote.”

Another example was covered in Barrâ€s testimony — a claim that more mail-in ballots were returned in Pennsylvania than were sent out. This claim was promoted by Pennsylvania state Sen. Doug Mastriano, who is now the Republican nominee for governor in the state. Mastriano tweeted in November 2020 that the state mailed out 1.8 million ballots yet received 2.6 million mail-in votes back. But thatâ€s not true: Mastriano was comparing the number of mail-in ballots sent out for the primary election to the number returned in the general election. In fact, more than 3 million Pennsylvania voters requested mail-in ballots for the general.
