I wish his motor skills sucked as bad as his critical thinking.

Thanks I’ll look into it. I use 1Blocker (iOS/Mac) which has been incredibly powerful and reliable for years.

Roger Stone Caught on Tape Discussing Trump’s Plan to Challenge 2024 Election Roger Stone, a longtime Republican operative who served as an adviser to Donald Trump, was secretly recorded at Mar-a-Lago spilling the beans on the former president’s strategy to challenge the results of the 2024 election should he lose again.

The self-described “dirty trickster” of right-wing politics unknowingly divulged the plan to liberal reporters Lauren Windsor and Ally Sammarco, who posed as Trump fans and covertly videotaped him at a “Catholics Prayer for Trump” event on March 19. The recordings were first reported by Rolling Stone.

The remarkably candid conversation is just the latest released by Windsor and her left-leaning sting group, The Undercurrent, in recent weeks—and comes on the heels of headline-grabbing tapes that captured both Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and his wife, Martha-Ann Alito, weighing in on a number of hot button culture war issues facing the court and the country.

Stone, who was a key figure in Trump’s “Stop the Steal” efforts following the 2020 election, characterized his plan to challenge election results in 2024 with three pillars: “Lawyers, judges, technology.” He also bragged that the Trump campaign occupied strong “offensive footing” this time around.

“In some states, it’ll be easier to stop. In other places it won’t,” Stone told Sammarco. “At least this time when they do it, you have a lawyer and a judge, his home phone number standing by so you can stop it,” apparently referring to the certification of 2024 results.

“We made no preparations last time, none,” he added.

Stone also tacitly endorsed storming the Capitol building after Sammarco told him she was at the insurrection.

“That may not be necessary,” Stone continued. “There are technical, legal steps we have to take to try to have a more honest election.”

Stone noted during the conversation that the Trump campaign is attempting to change state voting laws and plans to immediately file a number of lawsuits seeking to change the results should the former president lose again, as Trump allies did in Michigan and several other states in 2020.

“We should be suing in a half a dozen places,” Stone said of the Michigan lawsuit, adding that the RNC’s war chest would be tapped to fund the various lawsuits.

The Trump campaign launched 62 lawsuits contesting the results of the election across the country in 2020. However, most were quickly dismissed or dropped due to a lack of standing or evidence, according to Bloomberg Law.

Stone told Windsor that the Trump campaign even has governors who are ready to contest this November’s election results—though he qualified, candidly, that there “aren’t many” willing to put their reputation on the line in service of the former president.

Weirdest shit I’ve seen in a minute. I watched the video and she seems to be blaming Biden for a lack of shopping malls in the Bay Area. WTF?? And she says she fundraised for Obama but facts around that are quite sparse.

She is on TV to get people to buy the stupid shit she won in her divorce from OG google coder Scott Hassan. I’m certain of it.

Also I don’t know her but she acts like an animatronic in that video. Very very weird. But Fox News gets pretty hard for this kind of bullshit, so fuck it.

First of all… This is the most bloated, ChatGPT article ever.

Second. Godzilla Minus One just looks OKAY. Let’s not kid ourselves here. When half your story takes place in very simple, small sets, and another 40% can be shot in a water sound stage or on the open water with little set design needed, no shit it’s gonna save you a lot of money.

Do people think these Star Wars sets just exist already or something? They take huge teams to conceive of and dress them. And then you’ve got the volume stages where not only are you spending a fuckload to rent out for the day, but your CG artists have to generate those environments ahead of time.

Articles like these are fucking idiotic.

Patience, my child. Due date for that sack of rotting flesh around reanimated muscle and bone is July 1st.

Do you know how to read polls?

Do you understand that a president’s approval rating will be much lower among the opposition party? And that that number will skew the average far below that of the controlling party?

Or do you enjoy misrepresenting data to dunk on a stranger on the internet?

I’m gonna hard disagree. I vote for the Democratic Party because they champion the values of most Americans. Do I wish Bernie or Elizabeth Warren had won the 2020 primary? Of course. Not all dems will fight as hard for the same issues.

If you’re trying to contrast Biden’s campaign trail with Trump’s, just remember the guy is also busy being president. And Trump does a million rallies not because he loves the common man, but because otherwise people will be left to, I dunno, read his policies? The entertainment keeps the mob ignorant and sated.

I don’t disagree with you, but until laws are enacted, dems can’t fight with one arm tied behind their back. Gotta fill the war chest or it’s basically over.

Hey y’all,

Since taking the reigns on this community, I’ve essentially been continuing with weekly episode discussions for the shows I already saw people engaging with. But as new ones release, I’m not sure how to gauge the level of interest (Strange Planet, for example).

How are we feeling about the upcoming schedule? The Changeling dropped three episodes recently, we’ve got The Morning Show’s third season arriving this week… should I create threads for these?
