Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Updating with Gov. Brian Kemp's response:

The 2020 election in Georgia was not stolen.

For nearly three years now, anyone with evidence of fraud has failed to come forward - under oath - and prove anything in a court of law. Our elections in Georgia are secure, accessible, and fair and will continue to be as long as I am governor.

The future of our country is at stake in 2024 and that must be our focus.

Can you just shut up already grandpa.

Then he can tell it to judge.

He will release this just after he releases his taxes.

How his supporters don't see him as the grifter he is by now, I will never understand.

I thought we were going to get all the evidence 3 years ago. Or was that his own DOJ saying there weren't any materially significant voting irregularities? Honestly, it's hard to keep up anymore.

He’ll have a big press conference with a table of “files” which are just empty papers in folders and say “here it is folks, this totally exonerates me, I’ve presented the report”

And then all the hogs will spew “BUT HE PRESENTED THE REPORT ON TV FOR EVERYONE TO SEE” and then they will do Jan 6th again

It's a piece of paper that says "no, yu!"

I bet I can refute it.

Idk if the popcorn industry is ready for this kind of demand.

The Four Seasons Total Landscaping debacle should never die.

"They only went after those that fought to find the RIGGERS!"

Oh, so close to saying what he actually feels...

In Trump's dyspeptic liver of a brain "irrefutable" simply means bigly.

Sure. Label it as Defense Exhibit 1 at your trial. Just file it at the clerk's window like everyone else does

Wasn't he supposed to bring out all of the proof yesterday?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm pretty sure he also was supposed to bring out the proof a few years ago. I never saw any of it. Only mindless conspiracies that weren't founded in reality.

Didn’t we already get that information, from the grand jury in Georgia? I suppose it’s not “irrefutable proof” of election fraud but they found sufficient evidence to bring charges and proceed toward trial

That fucking image of Rudy has my sides in orbit.

A promise to produce an "Irrefutable REPORT" is self-breaking as it's likely not possible to produce such a report about any subject, let alone one about the subject matter promised.

EDIT: There's a reason why "not guilty" and "reasonable doubt" exist as concepts in law. It's very difficult to 100% prove that something happened, only that there was a high certainty that that's what occurred, and it's 100% impossible to prove a negative.

Heres the scene" "It's a long way to the top" by AC-DC plays to a modtly empty room. Trump trundles out, duck walking. Gets to the mic, pulls out a doctored birth certificate of Obama's Nigerian birth certificate. Trump points to the "crowd" warbles a triumphant howl of victory. His girdle bursts, he shits himself. "YMCA" by the village people plays, Trump does his half dance, half double masturbation thing off the stage. the camera pans left to see Rudy Giuliani 's election.
