@willchamberlain a mess of claims you yourself don't even believe
- many homeless receive mail at PO Boxes, friend's address, etc.
- less than half have substance abuse disorders
so why "bother" registering them? it's called political franchise, you fucking fascist
BIG excerpt out from new @maggieNYT and @jonathanvswan book โRegime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trumpโ...apparently WH staff were terrified about the release of a document alleging Trump had a "predilection for nipples" and abused those of an Epstein victim
Brett can deduce fraud without being able to specify who did it, where, how, with what materials, affecting which ballots, detected by which observers, with what motive, at what risk to themselves. โTrust me, broโ final boss
Bret Weinstein cuts straight to the chase:
"We are going to have an endless battle in which those of us who see what we believe is clear evidence of some kind of election rigging or fraud are faced with indignation from a vast array of people portraying themselves as more rigorous and careful who say, 'Where is your evidence? Where exactly is your evidence that there was something wrong with this election?' And we are gonna be caught in the following predicament.
No piece of evidence is sufficient to establish that case. And the sum total of all of the evidence contains true things and false things. So it is also no good.
So the question is, can you logically deduce that something has gone wrong? I believe you can easily.
Can you prove it? No.
And not being able to prove it means that the election will proceed. It will be validated by all of the structures, including the courts. And that means that those who take on the power that derives from these elections will be the result of whatever process we just went through, whether it was an election that happened to be anomalous through organic means, or it was the result of some kind of fraud or election rigging. That is not an accident.
That is not an accident.
And the point that I wanna make primarily is the primary evidence against elections that look like this being organic is not actually in the trickle of evidence that we are actually able to see, the moment by moment vote count that does something strange during the night when some large tranche of ballots is suddenly counted or something like that.
The evidence is in the structure of how the elections are actually carried out. These elections are designed to allow fraud that cannot be detected and will not be prosecuted. And that's really the thing that we must focus on."

This is as close as youโll get to a right-winger just admitting that they are totally uninterested in what is true or false; they simply demand to be assuaged.
They must *feel* calmed and satisfied. In their view, we all exist only to serve their feelings.
I mean yes. This matters a lot. It is extremely bad for you and for the country that you have all done massive epistemic damage to yourselves in this way.
Why is everybody so reticent to admit that this birth decline is at least impart a natural phenomenon?
Humans went from 1 billion in the 1800s to 200 years later topping out at 10 billion. Why does there have to be constant exponential growth?
Why canโt we accept that there is maybe an ideal natural cap on our population or a preferred slower growth rate?
In the past, women were having much more births, and there was far fewer people. With lower infant mortality rates comes lower births.
We donโt need women having 10 children anymore.
Why is all of this so inexplicable to many?
RAJU: But what evidence is there to prove the California election is rigged?
MIKE JOHNSON: Look, some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream it's impossible to prove. But I think everybody knows instinctively that something is wrong here.
@Udntnonutn it's an easy wedge to pin onto a potential CA candidate's presidential run in 2028. totally fact-free, actually quite impressive that they invented a scandal out of thin air.
