This is why America is doomed. Options:
1. Trump lost an election he barely won in 2016.
2. A global conspiracy involving 1000s of people in 6 states rigged voting machines - including areas where those machines weren't used - and manufactured millions of fake ballots, then.../1
...launched a middle-of-the-night mass effort on election day to get those millions of ballots into counting areas where vast numbers of counters participated in the scheme - including Republicans - and yet not a single one of these 1000s of participants has been found nor.../2
...has a single fraudulent ballot been identified with evidence in courts, and the courts are part of the conspiracy because when they said the evidence simply didnt exist (but they didn't hear any of the evidence even though they did) and, even though allegations of fraud.../3
...were denied as being claimed by Trump's own lawyers in court, they did so because....reasons?...and then the Supreme Court refused to hear these cases because they were too frightened to overturn the election.

...or, again, Trump lost an election he barely won in 2016.../4

Issue 2.
1. We are in the middle of a global pandemic that has killed more than 1 million people.
2. A fake disease has been played up all over the world because of Trump - or something - and the deaths are being faked by hospitals in a national conspiracy to make money.../5
...(even though the reimbursement level for treating COVID is the same as for pneumonia, and no reinbursement is ever decided based on cause of death) and none of the 1000s of doctors involved in this conspiracy have been identified because they are all working together.../6
...to keep it secret because I dont know why, and COVID is no different than the flu (even though it causes blood clots that are killing organ tissue, leaving people with lung, heart, and brain damage) and pneumonia is being reported as COVID all over the world as part.../7
...of the conspiracy.

Item 3:
1. Democrats, who make up the majority of voters, have different governing philosophy than the GOP
2. Dems want to destroy America by imposing communism and socialism (even though many corporate executives are democrats) and take everyones guns.../8
...(even though no elected democratic politician ever says that and it would not be constitutionally possible) & want to ban churches (even though Democrats have huge numbers of people of faith and politicians who both attend and teach in church while GOP is led by a man.../9

That SCOTUS overruling ANOTHER precedent - this one that established the Chevron doctrine, which has been cited in literally thousands of federal cases - was signaled by the court in 2022. Then I said the ruling in West Virginia v. EPA was the most important in decades.../1
...because it showed that the conservatives were gearing up to take regulatory administration out of the hands of experts and place it in the hands of the political hacks that now occupy our courts . It is an obscene power grab by this court, which has already ripped away.../2
...the authority of Congress, state legislatures, state courts etc. whenever it wants to drive policy. No precedent is safe. Stare decisis is over. This is an activist court unlike any in our country's history.

Mark Lemley broke down the court's imperial power grabs, and how..3

I know lots of gun enthusiasts and collectors (I grew up in Texas.) And I have never met one who isn't horrified by bump stocks. "You can't aim the damn things," one said to me a few years back. "They're good for only one thing: Spraying lots of unaimed bullets into a crowd."...1
...make no mistake: Gun nuts who demand them have no interest in shooting *at* a target. They just shoot in the general direction. These are nothing more than machine guns that can't be aimed. Yet SCOTUS, in its new role as an adjunct to the GOP policy committee, breaks down.../2
...the gun not into its function, but to its means of pulling the trigger to jump through new hoops to declare the extremist wing of the GQP as sole arbiter of the Constitution. Their argument - that it is not the speed of firing, but the technique - is fatuous sophistry.../3

Unsurprisingly, @RealPNavarro has no idea what the Mayo Clinic actually said. And the idea that doctors in ICUs are going to make medical decisions with critically ill pts based on CNN reports is crazy. But what do studies actually say, and why is hydro use so limited? Well...

..In 2020, FDA (under Trump), NIH and World Health Organization stopped studies evaluating hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of COVID-19 due to a lack of benefit. Current NIH and US guidelines recommend its use for COVID-19 treatment in hospitals only in clinical trials...
...in *Britain*, the largest study on hydro (the RECOVERY Trial" - one of few randomized & controlled - evaluated potential treatments for patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Investigators found no benefit or reduction of death in hospitalized patients receiving hydro...

Media who interview CEO Barra of @GM need to understand: When asked about difference between how much of an increase she receives to reach her compensation ($30 mill - higher than all but Tesla) compared to workers, she says "It's performance based." What a croc. Here's why.../1
...For most, it's hard for average person to understand because the compensation standards in GM's proxy is loaded with undefined acronyms - TSR, LTIP, NEO, etc. But when you know the meaning, you see that her compensation is rigged. A good percentage of her comp is based on...
...comparisons to the performance of other companies & comps with other company CEO's comp. Well, for the first one, they use other auto makers, most of which are nowhere close to the size/diversity of GM (Renault, Stelantis, Suzuki) so they really aren't comparable. BUT when...

Would reporters *please* stop saying RICO law in Georgia is intended to be applied to organized crime. That is *false.* In fact, it is wrong on so many levels that it is shocking reporters keep saying it. They are clearly referring to federal RICO - where they are also wrong.../1
...federal RICO (not part of the Georgia case) has been and - according G. Robert Blakey, the man who wrote the statute - was intended both to apply to the activities of organized crime *and* other criminal enterprises, including white collar crime. From Blakey in 1989:.../2 Image
...the reason Blakey is discussing white collar crime is because, at that time, RICO was being used to bludgeon Wall Street fraud. But the federal law was specifically written to address a pattern of criminal activity that involved an "enterprise" such as a corrupt company.../3

Florida wants to teach about "skills" slaves obtained in the antebellum south because "beneficent" slaveholders taught their slaves to read, write, blacksmithing, etc. They say this is supported by "scholars." Well, let's see what the scholars really say.../1
...first, let's start with blacksmithing, since this is specifically what DeSantis mentioned yesterday. This, more than anything, underscores the brutal ignorance of the GOP on history, and their apparent belief that Africans arrived here as ignorant, incompetent savages.../2
...reality: People who were already skilled blacksmiths were brought in chains from West Africa. These Africans were among the most skilled blacksmiths the world had ever seen, and *they* taught *white* blacksmiths new skills and techniques. African blacksmith slaves were.../3
