Sweden has been hit by a second wave, which has led them to impose significant restrictions they previously avoided, and to admit their initial approach to the virus did not yield expected results. Their deaths per capita still way exceed their neighbors.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
A lot of mistakes have been made during this ordeal. The initial lockdowns were excessive and should have been better targeted. But the U.S. would have faced disaster if we had adopted Sweden's approach, and those who advocated for it were just wrong.
See some of the responses here. People were absolutely convinced that Sweden wouldn't face a second wave and their economy would fae much better (it didn't):

So I've read the "Kraken complaint"in GA.

A bunch of it is rehashing old stuff that's been thrown out in every other suit (Affidavits of people thinking something is suspicious, complaining about no signature match during recounts - which would have been impossible) etc.
Aside from that, there is a request to basically invalidate the election because they don't think GA's SoS and Governor should have the power to set any election rules since that power belongs to the state legislature. That's obviously not going anywhere.
Not only is it wrong, but the time to file a complaint about the rules that were set out long before the election would have been before the election.

Getting really tired of this.

I'll give you a chance to show me where I said there was no election fraud or that we shouldn't look into it.

After you can't, I will be blocking you for lying.
It's the same strawman over and over again. Trump lost by tens of thousands of votes in multiple states. Asserting that there is no evidence, after looking at claims, of widespread fraud that would have changed the results is not the same as saying no fraud or don't look into it.
As an example. In Michigan, there is a legitimate dispute over ~400 ballots in Wayne County. If it was a close race, we would need to fight it out over them. Trump lost the state by over 150,000 votes.

Pointing to 400 ballots to suggest a different result is annoying.

The Trump campaign just had their Pennsylvania election lawsuit dismissed. This is the one Rudy personally argued before the court.

(h/t @gabrielmalor)

Here is the decision:

courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Oh, man. This opinion is brutal.

"Plaintiffs asked the court to disenfranchise almost 7 million voters"

"This Court has been presented with strained
legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations, unpled in the operative
complaint and unsupported by evidence."
The case was dismissed with prejudice.

Combined with the Trump campaign dropping their case in Michigan, this now clears the way for both states to certify their votes next Monday.

Yesterday Sidney Powell told Glenn Beck that US forces had confiscated Scyntl servers in Germany: washingtonexaminer.com/news/powell-se…

US Army (& Scyntl) have confirmed no such raid happened and Scyntl also noted they don't even have offices in Germany.
This is the President's lawyer taking random and easily disprovable conspiracies from Twitter and promoting them on major platforms.

Do people really not understand issue w media cheering/silent as people in the streets last week celebrated the election $ politicians in NYC, DC, CA etc ignoring own restrictions vs now giving lectures about the need for further sacrifices & restrictions for other Americans?
If your messaging isn’t consistent, you’re going to lose credibility with the people who you need to reach. Won’t matter how much you lecture, people won’t just accept two different sets of rules. Once people recognize hypocrisy, that’s just not a bell you can unring.
Just a reminder that this thread was 9 days ago. And while Rupar & a few others were explicit about their hypocrisy, the relative silence re celebrations vs the widespread condemnations of ND rushing the field were impossible to ignore:

This is getting exhausting. I retweeted a fact-check that addresses several specific claims after investigation.

You're responding with a general statement about irregularities that should be investigated.

Almost as if you don't actually want investigation...
A lot of people have spent a lot of time investigating claims of massive voter fraud. They should be investigated. But it's hard to take people seriously when they are pushing to ignore the findings of such investigations when it doesn't support their preferred narrative.
In this particular case, Hannity promoted a conspiracy that had 0 evidence re the possibility of Dominion software being hacked to change votes. Problem is that the machines and software he was citing as hackable weren't used in the states he was highlighting had discrepancies.
