Shitstorm 2024 is underway

Trump’s baseless election fraud lawsuits have started

This is their plan: Shitstorm 2024. Say over and over that the election’s rigged and stolen, sue everywhere, sow doubt in the baseline concepts of voting and democracy, all to throw the election to the House of Representatives, where Republicans will hand it to Trump.

Excerpt: Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, meanwhile, shot back at the Republican presidential nominee, highlighting that Trump and his allies have spent the last four years actively corroding public trust in U.S. elections—and that they are currently warming up their second conspiracy to undermine the 2024 election results.

“Let’s remember, in 2020, Donald Trump attacked our elections over and over,” Shapiro wrote on X. “I was the Attorney General back then and despite his bluster and rhetoric, he went 0-43 in court when he fought to make it harder to vote and then tried to overturn Pennsylvanians’ votes.

“He’s now trying to use the same playbook to stoke chaos, but hear me on this: we will again have a free and fair, safe and secure election—and the will of the people will be respected,” Shapiro said.

Me again: I don’t know much about Shapiro, but that quote sounds like a Democrat unwilling to eat shit. You don’t see much of that.

    The Voyagers are still alive and talking nearly fifty years after they were designed, constructed, and hurled off the Earth by men and women who’ve been dead since before some of you were born. You can celebrate in at least one of two or more ways: sing the national anthem of a northern European nation state that has observed democratic principles during the entire Voyager journey, or sing a random song by t.A.T.u.

      This is delightfully weird music, and thanks to a conversation with you a couple of years ago, I know Hurra Torpedo. They’re the punkish band that plays kitchen equipment (as seen in the video), and I like that concept, but more than the concept I like the music.

    There are lots of headline blogs but yours is the best. Great memes too.

      What happened to the mystery links tho.

        It’s been a year and a half, and you’re the first to notice the mystery links are gone, which is why they’re gone. I’m always looking to streamline the process here.

        And thanks.
