Not everyone who voted for Trump is an utter moron, but anyone who believes in the manufactured election fraud narrative absolutely is.
Good way to find those who need to be cut out of your life, as they have no ability to withstand propaganda.
Important to note: they are exactly the same ballots. Republicans are challenging the exact votes that elected their House and Senate members. https://t.co/w8OUqieZM5

That fact has been making me laugh all day. These people are absolute morons. Just total clownshows.

There was basically no election fraud. Anyone who believes there was is a fucking huge idiot. What the Repubs define as “fraud” is just how normal elections work. There’s always a large number of mail-in ballots that take days to weeks to be counted — there are just even more this time due to Covid.
I’ve been watching US elections since I was eight years old. I always noted that the vote tallies went up for 2-3 weeks after, and unlike most I bothered to research why. See above for your answer.
Our “experts,” ladies and gentleman:
Lets be clear: No vaccine prevents initial infection. If a virus gets into a cell, THAT is infection. Vaccine reduces productive infection & prevents disease.
Let’s not forget that infection without acute disease does not = no health consequences with this virus.— Heather Lander, PhD (@PathogenScribe) November 9, 2020
HPV vaccine (and others) prevents initial infection. It doesn’t matter that most don’t work that way — and that the SARS-Cov-2 probably won’t. She’s simply wrong.
She has a PhD. I read some textbooks. Yet I knew something that she didn’t in her own field. Some “experts” we have going on here. (And the point she’s making is 99% of the time irrelevant, and kind of a “well, actually” type of tech-bro point, anyway.)

1) This morning, I shared an enthusiastic tweet about Pfizer's interim results with their COVID-19 vaccine. Let me explain here why am I am so enthusiastic, how the road to get this to people might look like and why we still need to control the pandemic NOW. https://t.co/QLaCtZykZv

Needs peer review and some actual data needs to be released, but it does seem to be the real deal.
About time for some good news.
Anyone who believes the election was stolen or that there was substantial fraud is a fucking idiot.
Plenty of voter suppression pre-election, however, mainly of Democrat-leaning constituencies.
Progressive messaging, policy and turnout efforts won it for the Dems, but now the usual effort to throw ’em all under the big ol’ bus has already begun.
That’s just what I expected to see.
The below is something I’ve thought about a lot, why jokes from so many old movies feel stale, even ones I’ve not seen before. And I think what Gravis is discussing is part of it, but on a deeper level that the societal and cultural environment has just completely shifted into a new mode so what made sense then just does not any longer. The joke is there, but the framework is gone.
It’s been known for a while that most people do not have well-considered views, but rather are on what they perceive as a team. The team runs the other way down the field, and so do they. Humans are pack animals.
My favorite Trebek cameo was his and Ventura’s double cameo on The X-files in one of the very best eps of the series “Jose Chung From Outer Space.” https://t.co/s0f2NibJIr

Oh, fuck, that is such a good episode. Definitely one of my top five favorite TV episodes of all time.
The actual title is “Jose Chung’s From Outer Space” because it’s referring to a fictional non-fiction book called From Outer Space. Anyway, the episode is just brilliant with its multiple unreliable narrators, manipulation of viewpoints and bizarre meta-humor.
It’s one of the few eps of any TV show I’ve watched more than three times. There’s just so much happening in it. It could’ve been three movies but was instead one 42-minute burst of pure inspired insanity.
