So this ad airing on local TV for a runoff election in Texas:



The lady is for is a salon owner who defied state lockdown laws to open her salon, made a ton of money from GoFundMe, and became a conservative hero. Apparently she's also totally insane.

What the goddamn fuck is wrong with people?

Specifically, Texans.

‘Everything’s great’: GOP ditches election post-mortems

Mitt Romney lost by 5 million votes in 2012 and sparked a 100-page RNC autopsy report. Donald Trump lost by 7 million and there isn’t a peep.

It hardly matters that Trump couldn’t beat Biden in the Rust Belt. Or that Trump ceded the longtime Republican strongholds of Georgia and Arizona to Democrats and, in defeat, became the first incumbent president since 1992 to fail to win a second term.

Six weeks after the election, Republicans are beginning to chart a multi-state effort to undo mail ballot expansions that disadvantaged the party in November. But that’s a mechanical concern. As it prepares for the midterm elections and 2024, the direction of the party is set.

“As far as I’m concerned, everything’s great,” said Stanley Grot, a district-level Republican Party chair in Michigan, a state Trump won four years ago but lost to Biden in November.

This all said, never count the Democrats out when it comes to snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

To think that this all happened because Trump was doing a speech for the military high as a kite(?) and he went off script and floated the idea of creating "SPACE FORCE" out of fucking nowhere.
And then months of people writing: "You can't just make a Space Force. We already have Space Command" and the administration scrambling to make it look like this was actually their plan all along.



And now there is a Space Force

In recent days Trump has been meeting with Rudy, Flynn, Powell and key players in his administration.
Rudy floats an idea like seizing voting machines and is then told the DOJ can't do it because there are laws.
Powell calls them quitters so Trump proposed having Powell chair a special council for election fraud.

Everyone panics, including Rudy because that is the worst idea ever and Trump has a meltdown on Twitter because no one likes his idea.
(Barr apparently quit because he didn't go along with this  )

- Powell wants to investigate her crackpot theory about Dominion
- Rudy mostly wants attention and money so the longer this case exists the better for him
- Flynn wants to sell hats, books and get back into the grifting game again considering Trump pardoned him for past crimes and any future crimes he also wants a military coup
- Trump's a sore loser who is down 52-0 on clumsy attempts to overturn the election and knows he has lost but made millions in fund raising to #stopthesteal
so he will drag this out as long as possible to deny Republican challengers a chance to primary him and to pay off his debts

Republicans are kinda forced to make a move soon because Trump's Georgia PAC is raking in the money but none has been spend on the Georgia races yet 

There's now also an explanation of why the campaign was so short on cash. Apparently Kushner laundered $617 million to the family through a shell company.

According to the person familiar with Friday’s meeting, the animated gathering featured yelling and screaming, with the lawyers often accusing each other of failing to sufficiently support the president's efforts. Flynn and Powell both said they needed the Trump administration to do more to support their efforts to reverse President-elect Joe Biden's win. Giuliani and Powell also turned their ire on each other. The source said National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien, a successor to Flynn, participated by phone.

https://deadline.com/2020/12/studios-poised-for-legislative-win-with-inclusion-of-provisions-for-felony-streaming-penalties-in-year-end-funding-package-1234660176/

Annoyed this article is conflating the horrendous SOPA with such piss-weak legislation inclusions, but anyways...

The provisions in the legislation include:

Felony streaming. Establishes criminal penalties, including prison time, for those who “willfully, and for purposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain, offer or provide to the public a digital transmission service” that offers unauthorized movies and TV shows. Penalties include fines and sentences of up to three years, or five years if the offense involved one or more titles, and “the person knew or should have 7 known that the work was being prepared for 8 commercial public performance.”

CASE Act. Creates a small claims court for copyright holders to pursue . Participation, however, will be voluntary, and any of the parties can object and pursue cases in federal district court. The cases would be heard by a Copyright Claims Board established through the Copyright Office, and, in general, any damages awards would not exceed $15,000. Parties who pursue more than one claim in a proceeding would not be able to recover more than $30,000. Parties also would in most cases bear their own costs.

Trademark modernization. Third parties would be able to submit evidence during the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s consideration of trademarks. It also would try to curb fraudulent foreign trademark filings.

The trademark one actually seems good.

Small claims addition is kinda like "Lol, why would anyone do this?"

Not a fan of making streaming a felony but it doesn't past muster to get really upset over, personally.

None of these should have been attached to a COVID relief bill, it must be said.

We think there may have been a mix-up so we're investigating the delivery service who was responsible for getting this device to our transition team."

"Oh but that does sound like the contents of our harddrive all right, It was very difficult to find all of our other records but you insisted"

Wonder what their reasoning is for purging followers, unlike when it changed hands last time?

My only guess is some Trump lawsuit being threatened or something.

I actually don't think it's necessarily a dumb move. The opposite is a disaster waiting to happen.
