It should be noted that there is no evidence of any tampering of the voting machines in the 2024 election. The claim by researchers is that the voting machines in coffee county GA were accessed after the 2020 election by Trump supporters, and data from those machines in the 2020 election uploaded and distributed to pro-Trump groups.

There is no new information being raised in this letter to Harris and reiterates the same information from their 2022 and 2023 letters to the DOJ with the claim that it’s possible that the software of these voting machines could have been reverse engineered, a potential exploit found, and then it could be physically possible to alter the vote. There is no evidence cited about irregularities in any Post-Election Audits of a sample of paper ballots which would warrant more scrutiny into the machines and require a full recount.

Obligatory Line Goes Up video, although not exclusively about Bitcoin.

I do admit that early in Bitcoin’s life, around 2013, i was a interested in Bitcoin as an alternative to banking, but the volatility and speculation alienated me from the community. Anyone buying BTC now for $90k, you need to realize this turned into a pyramid scheme and you’re not at the top of it. You may be able to find someone who’s more of a sucker to take the Bitcoin off your hand and make a profit, but it’s not sustainable, someone has to loose. Any gains you make are probably less than 10% what the person made by selling it to you.

If you do end up speculating on crypto, don’t invest more than you can afford to loose, and assume you’ll loose it all. It’s very likely you’ll either get hacked/scammed, loose your wallet, leave your wallet in an online exchange who runs off with your keys, etc. You’re on your own if that happens. If you do end up making any profit, it’ll be a blessing and you’ll be way happier than if you thought this would be your key to get rich, and you end up loosing it all.

On one hand, we essentially have someone who accidentally missed an item during self checkout, and another person who ransacked the store, took everything they could, showed off what they stole, and had a standoff with police. Clearly both situations are not equal and saying that both should have the same consequences minimizes Trump’s actions and blatant disregard of the judicial system and American people.

In Australia, which has Ranked Choice Voting, you number the candidates from 1 to the max candidates. For Senate races, you can vote for the party, letting the party decide the down ballot representatives. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/aug/14/how-does-australia-s-voting-system-work

I believe in this process, the ballots are human counted, but the country has less than the population of California, so it probably doesn’t take too long. Scaling it up for the backwards US system would be harder, but not impossible to improve.

don’t let someone sign a petition for more than one candidate for a given race.

This would be so much overhead work and also defeat the purpose of Ranked Choice Voting. This basically moves the First Past the Post earlier in the process, which will exclude candidates

If Joe doesn’t pardon Hunter, there’s no way Trump will. He’s spent 6+ years saying the Biden family is crooked, he wouldn’t want to show he’s weak and reverse his original unsubstantiated stance. I assume Joe won’t pardon Hunter, to set some sort of norm for Trump, which Trump will completely ignore and pardon his family at the first smell of corruption.

is he paid residuals for theater and streaming sales? 🤮 if so, this would be a great reason to pirate it.

“There comes a time when the… the risk of doing nothing becomes the greatest risk of all.”

Of course, which is the risk for at least Sotomayor this term. If Trump gets 3 more nominations, it could be possible that he’d be able to have 6 justices with an average age in their 50s, with plenty of time to continue the chaos.

Yeah, out of everything, his Supreme Court nominations are the longest lasting. They will outlive him and be a lasting influence for most of our lives. Every unconstitutional thing Republicans want to do will be handed to them by the SC. So long for checks and balances.

2020-2024 had no Supreme Court Justices to appoint.

Biden got one, Ketanji Brown Jackson, in 2022. And had Trump been president during this time, Thomas and Alito would have probably retired after Dobbs.

Trump had two weeks to pre-pardon them in 2021 and didn’t. 71 million people just voted for Trump this time around. If 0.01% of them are crazy rioters, that’s 7100 people at his disposable. He doesn’t need an additional few hundred who already went to jail and had their life turned upside down, and may not still be loyal.

Pardon all the losers who voted for him and committed crimes

I bet he won’t pardon the Jan 6. rioters since that doesn’t do anything for him. He already won with them in jail and without their votes, there’s nothing more he needs from them.

Thank you!

Anyone have a non-paywalled link?

Surely the party of states rights will not allow the federal government to take away the rights voted by people in the state \s

This has the added benefit of stripping Meghan Markle of her citizenship as well.

I really have no opinion of Meghan Markle but thought this was funny. It’s insane that it’d be easier to ratify an amendment from 1810 which would impact a good handful of people to target Alito, than implement robust Supreme Court ethics reforms.

This was a great video. The ban on disposable vape can’t come sooner.
