Glenn Greenwald desperately needs an editor. Do you really need three successive paragraphs making the exact same point?
Was the media ready to collapse before Trump? Did he rescue news outlets?

I wouldn't know from this paragraph just assuming that fact because it provides no numbers, just hyperlinks to a couple of anecdotes. Image
This is what makes Greenwald so unpleasant to read. His writing is bloated with adjectives and rail-thin for facts. Doesn't it get boring just namecalling? Image
And the thing is, Glenn Greenwald was a huge Iraq War supporter, as he noted in his book. So it's a little rich for him to come back down and claim there's no recovery. Image

A Trump lawsuit in three parts:

1. We PROMISE we will find evidence

2. Where is the evidence?

3. Ok we're dismissing

The above tweet was about Georgia, but it's happening all over.

Here is again out of PA, with identical language:

1. We promise to find evidence.
2. We're dismissing because there's no evidence ImageImageImage

This is Lin Wood's lawsuit as a Presidential tweet.

Here's the thing, the consent decree required 2 people to find a signature mismatch and to provide a chance to cure. That is not "impossible." And the decree was in March.

You waited until 8 months later to bring it up?
Here' the text of the order, pulled from Wood's lawsuit. Image
Notably, the signature requirement from the statute is still in effect. It is just that the Secretary of State agreed to a method of determining whether a signature matches, in this case, comparing against other records and requiring three people to check. Image

A Michigan judge has denied the Trump campaign's motion to cease certification of the vote in Detroit, noting that if the election challengers had attended orientation, they would know that what they were witnessing was routine.

The food van lady was not found credible.
A claim that workers were instructed not to ask for ID was made less credible because the affiant failed to, y'know, say when or where it happened, or how many times.

Justice Alito once dissented from an opinion holding that officers were not authorized to strip search a ten-year-old girl who was not named in the search warrant.

scholar.google.com/scholar_case?c…
The officers claimed that they were authorized to search the child because they had asked for permission to search "all occupants." But the judge only authorized them to search the male resident in the warrant he signed.
Alito, then a judge on the Third Circuit, would have held that although the warrant did not name either female occupant, it was intended to, and there was probable cause to strip search them.

Gavin McInnes is currently suing the Southern Poverty Law Center for describing the Proud Boys as a "hate group," claiming that they're mostly known for handing out Christmas presents.

The Proud Boys don't "allow" white supremacists into the organization, the law suit claims.

There have been no filings in this case for almost a full year, despite some excellent lawyering from the SPLC. The case was reassigned to a new judge on that date, pictured below: Image

Voter fraud conspiracy enthusiasts are engaging in what you might call a Gish Gallop, throwing tons of arguments against the wall to see what sticks, to make it exhausting an distracting to debunk.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gish_gall…. Image
Gish gallops are difficult to handle, because it is actually very easy to make something up, and very difficult to bear down, investigate, and show why the lie is not true.

For instance, I could say, right now, that Ivanka Trump voted illegally in Pennsylvania.
That took me no effort at all to say. Now, to prove me wrong, you go through voter registration and you say "AHA, she's not registered."

And then I say, "She didn't use her real name."

Now, even more work to debunk. You've got to track her travel, or show fraud impossible.
