You can go into a courtroom, no one can stop you from trying. And if Twitter's attorneys want to represent Jones, they can certainly do so, in which case they will be included on future communication.

A large percent of legal proceedings are not kept secret, so if the lawyers are not representing him and they are trying to make a big deal out of the fact that they want to get informed, actually they're just grandstanding and there's nothing to see here. Probably that's what's happening.

Trump doesn't care. This is a lesson to Trump lackies everywhere. Put yourself first, cuz that's what he's doing.

It's not about election denialism. This is the standard problem with conspiracy theories being based on reality. Voter suppression has happened in small numbers and small ways for the last century. Pick your poison. Are we talking about felons being disenfranchised? Are we talking about taking native Americans off their roles because they don't have home addresses and they use po boxes? Are we talking about rejecting college kids because they're out of state? Are we talking about mailboxes being set on fire? Are we talking about polling places that are not handicapped accessible and never will be?

All of those things continue to happen and each of them plays a small part. I don't think that would make a break the election, not this time when the difference was so large, but it could make a break some elections.

And as long as it's left unaddressed, voters aren't blind, they can see the shady shit. So then what, then you just don't know how bad the problem is, and the same people that you would trust to compile data on how bad it is are the same people whose job it is to fix it, but they haven't, so you can't believe anything they say.

All of which is to say, if people are skeptical that the game is fair, that's based on proven reality from decades of experience. But that doesn't mean it affected this election.

Will Biden pardon them? Would be good for the lulz.

What a shit article. We don't get to decide what he could or couldn't do. That's his fucking job, not ours. And he doesn't give a fuck what we think anyway.

Paywall or something weird like that.

The future is always an open question, my friend. And Harris always had the ability to change her stance.

So ... Nothing real. OK.

Are you asking if we still think Biden and Harris are complicit in the ongoing genocide? Yeah, yeah we do. Shit is bad right now, long before Trump takes office.

Having a hissy fit in public is not the greatest look, my friend.

First time today ... meaning after that more times today?

I think many people felt that Harris was a failure, just as they felt Biden was a failure. And she didn't have to be.

Don't run a bad candidate if you wanna win. This is common sense. And if you try anyway and lose, don't blame others for it.
