[sarcasm mixed with reality] Just when things begin to settle down you can always count on Little Dave to provide a moment of comic relief. Infowars, lol. Even among far-right sites it manages to be a bottom-dweller. "InfoWars is an American far-right conspiracy theory and fake news website owned by Alex Jones. It was founded in 1999, and operates under Free Speech Systems LLC" - Wikipedia Categorized as: "Conspiracy-Pseudoscience Sources in the Conspiracy-Pseudoscience category may publish unverifiable information that is not always supported by evidence. These sources may be untrustworthy for credible/verifiable information, therefore fact checking and further investigation is recommended on a per article basis when obtaining information from these sources." Factual reporting: VERY LOW - Media Bias / Fact Check Red Icon: 25/100 rating. A website is rated red if it generally fails to meet basic standards of credibility and transparency. (We note whether the site failed several of our nine criteria, or whether it severely violates journalistic standards by failing an especially significant number of criteria.) -- Newsguard Even such stirling examples of 'journalism' as The Federalist, Frontpagemag and zerohedge earn higher scores. Anticipating your canned response: Fake News! Left-wing extremists masquerading as fair-minded assessors of journalistic integrity and credibility. Secretly funded by George Soros and supported by the shadowy, evil Commie-fascist insurrectionist antifa out to do destroy our godly-capitalist utopia. This assessment is courtesy of alt-right Artificial [lack of] Intelligence easily trained to the task based on two guiding 'rules': 1. If it infuriates Magats by confronting them with 'inconvenient' reality, it's malicious, left-wing propaganda bent on undermining the simple [minded] faith in Trump, God, apple pie and the American Way of Life [& Death] [& Taxes]. 2. If someone criticizes Trump and Magatard Nation they are vicious fascist-commie-progressive authoritarians. The only true conservatives/republicans are those who uncritically, unswervingly support Trump. "True Republicans are no longer interested in small government or balanced budgets or originalism. True Republicans are defined—entirely—by their fealty to Donald Trump." - Tim Miller, The Bulwark, August 31, 2020 — https://thebulwark.com/the-pathetic-both-sidesism-of-republican-inc/ That is, members of Trump [defective] personality cult. If Don offers you Koolaid I suggest not drinking it unless you're suicidal. Little Dave is like the younger brother who insists on being included in older boys activities though he can barely keep up or understand it. Dave is merely tolerated not to be believed. Give a stiff arm and sieg heil to your Hitler Youth buds.😛😛 [end of sarcasm, for now]😛

Bump -almost 24 hours later 😶😶 crickets LL no one has found anything of value to discuss in Clay's video beyond evidence of psych impairment ‼️

⬆️ Inquiring Perverts want to know 😄

Fact Checking Trump’s Wild, Baseless Claims of Illegal Voting https://www.factcheck.org/2020/11/trumps-wild-baseless-claims-of-illegal-voting/ In remarks resembling an attack on democratic elections, rather than a presidential speech, President Donald Trump doubled down on his campaign pledge: “The only way we can lose, in my opinion, is massive fraud.” In his Nov. 5 comments, he offered no evidence for the “illegal votes” that he claimed would need to be counted in order for former Vice President Joe Biden to win the election. He offered several false, misleading and baseless claims instead. We’ll go through Trump’s claims about voting in several states, beginning with Pennsylvania. But readers can skip ahead by clicking on the links for the other states: [click on link to see remainder of article]

Humor at Trump's Expense: Dan Rather @DanRather America: Knock, Knock. Donald Trump: Who's there? America: The truth. and more Rather- Maybe if we explained to Donald Trump that he is “in debt” to the counted ballots in many states, he could better understand the “math.”

If the GOP does successfully keep control of the senate it is a virtual certainty that Mitch and his band of merry senators will re-establish their 2008 Obama strategy: OBSTRUCT, OBSTRUCT, FULMINATE, CONCEAL THEIR UTTER LACK OF 'CONSERVATIVE' PRINCIPLES AND CONSTRUCTIVE IDEAS WITH HARASSING INVESTIGATIONS, and OBSTRUCT. So yes this will be the strategy to win back power in 2022 and 2024. Showing the same lack of any bipartisanship while vociferously complaining that its the Dems fault. Play to Trump Magats and fuck the rest of us.

Though only passed and ratified early in the 20th century, the argument for the 17th amendment began during the effort to ratify the US Constitution. Broadsheet flyers issued by dissenting delegates to the federal convention, in part, argued for the DIRECT election of senators as well as congressmen. So, hardly, a MODERN idea. That didn't come to pass until 1912-13 but other amendment arguments resulted in the ten amendments passed by the new congress you know as the Bill of Rights.

@founder - Because I don't take this crazy shit seriously. IMO it's a humorous post, funny [to me]. I'm not seriously trying to argue or convince anyone. I'm not being serious in any way and my commentary is meant to be humorous a la John Oliver. Purely for my own amusement and other TUSCL members who might find it funny. Still, founder, there is a source link which has a video of Clay remarks. Feel free to pursue an in-depth parsing of his remarks and post whatever gleanings of value you discover. Maybe other can benefit from your findings. I still consider it pure humor but if others wish to pursue a more serious discussion -- you have my blessing.

@Beat- your content has nothing to do to your title. IOW: You don't understand the concept of 'incel'

Been trying to recall waitress ripoffs. I'm certain it happened in non-local clubs; just can't remember any glaring example. In two local clubs none that I can recall, dancers?...yes, definetly; servers? ...no. Semi-regular at two locals...tipped regularly [not BIG tips but regularly]. Reaped benefits other fast, attentive service. Ran errands including searching for dancer in dressing room. Not pressing repeatedly the "Buy your dancer a drink?" Knew the dancer would be tipped for VIP and she would have a steady tip income throughout the evening.

"Liking your own posts is cool and good" , said the incel to his image in the mirror

Not an excuse, just another possible explanation: Most customers haven't been tipping her; she expects the same from you. Know that was true at several local clubs. DJ would suggest tipping 'your hardworking server' several times during the evening.

@misterorange - re: voting machines for the physically impaired There are a wealth of devices and techniques for those with various physical impairments to interact with a computer. Think of Stephen Hawking using a probe held between his teeth to activate points on a touchscreen. Foot pedals, large gamer-trackball devices adapted for handicapped, etc As to the voting machine process vs hand-marked paper ballot - I used one 2yrs ago. Used a mouse to mark selection. One race/office or ballot question per screen to avoid confusion. If I failed to make a choice on a particular screen the computer returned to that screen before allowing me to finish. You would have to mark a choice or deliberately mark a selection saying you did not wish to vote this issue or race. When finished with on-screen ballot but BEFORE my choices were recorded I was presented with a scrolling screen showing my completed ballot with option to 'correct' or 'accept' each choice. If not satisfied session could be nullified and new voting process started by poll worker. After I verified my choices on-screen a PAPER RECEIPT, a little wider than a grocery store receipt, printed up a copy of my ballot choices. Signed off on paper receipt. Machine then recorded my ballot choices electronically with an ID keyed to the paper receipt and indicating key time date info of session. Receipt placed in envelope retained by election board as paper back-up of machine recorded ballot. Took longer to explain here than complete. So its possible to accommodate persons with physical impairments without compromising ballot integrity AND with a linked paper back-up.

Resource posted earlier: State by state guide to vote counting -- when started,mail-in ballots due etc. https://tuscl.net/discussion.php?id=74270 I believe AP website has a similar article and list In Missouri, they could start to count already received mail-in/absentee ballots at 7AM on ELECTION DAY. All ballots must be in the hands of county election board by 7PM election day to be counted.

They know how to stuff ballot boxes in Wayne Co.😀 Gary Peters [D] is re-elected by about 60k vote margin

PS - just saw that YOU actually 'Like'd your own two posts above......truly desperately pathetic.😛😛

Just saw your knee-jerk response. You didn't even investigate Newsguard site. If you had you would have learned that three websites listed -- BillMoyers, GregPalast, and Palmer report are LEFT-leaning websites that were called for spreading misinformation. Instead you reacted to what you wanted to believe and did a generic copypasta. AlexJones is even less credible than you are but, to your credit, he's more psychologically impaired than you. Good move; don't rely on someone who is better put together than you are. In another post you linked to an RT [russiatoday] post....somewhere in a Russian troll farm they have a print-out of your TUSCL profile framed by the words SUCKER...USEFUL IDIOT, and the recommendation: 'Feed him anything, he'll believe it and pass on as biblical truth' LMAO The only 'truth' related to you I want to know is: Is the author of Dave_Anderson TUSCL account as much a dipshit as his posts suggest or is this a parody account of Short-Bus survivor becomes Neo-Nazi. Really, this Trump memento is for you, bid on it. You'll thank me later. https://tuscl.net/photos/5f9fa01ec4ef6 Putting your finger where it counts.............. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/El7GxSaXEAIixf4?format=jpg&name=small

Sums up 70% of TUSCL Magat posts Can’t defend Trump’s own statements and actions, but they can find plenty to criticize in his critics. This allows the right to indulge its hatred of liberals and liberalism while sidestepping the need for a reckoning with the disaster of the Trump administration itself. Here is how it works: Rather than defend President Trump’s specific actions, his conservative champions change the subject to: (1) the biased “fake news” media, (2) over-the-top liberals, (3) hypocrites on the left, (4) anyone else believed victimizing Mr. Trump or his supporters and (5) whataboutism, as in “What about Obama?” “What about Clinton?” Another 20% devoted to copypasta from non-creditable sources, conspiracy sites, and disinformation sourced from Russian troll farms.

@Muddy LL Trump took your advice: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/El7GxSaXEAIixf4?format=jpg&name=small

https://tuscl.net/photos/5f164e1d504e8 This ad brought to you by George Soros😝😝 Having some fun starting another paranoid delusion for Magats. It's not really true.........OR IS IT? Only The Shadow Knows........

It means that dementia is creeping up on you, old timer.

@TheeOSU - Scouts honor, my intial reaction to your For OP link. Jeez, this dude is so, so uncreative. Then I remembered some of your old flame war attempts at other members. The longer it went on, the shorter and more mundane were your pathetic insults. My response. Prefer not to waste it on some anonymous TUSCL magat. This is where it really counts: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/El7GxSaXEAIixf4?format=jpg&name=small

Trump, A Martyr In His Own Mind?? One of the characteristics of narcissistic character disorders like Trump: always blame others for their own failures and misfortunes, never see them as a consequence of their own actions and never, never accept responsibility for the results. https://tuscl.net/photo.php?id=5920 Just for you, bid on it!
