Was there fraud in the US election?

[NotAllThere]

This CUK poll is a big fat lie - only sockies and anonymous posters voted No.

Don't forget that the mods rigged it.

Interesting article (IMHO)

2021-01-21 ‘New McCarthyism will prove an Orwellian mistake,’ says US historian

Trump was a symptom not a catalyst of the hatred. Radical changes due to globalization, enormous concentrations of wealth on the coasts, 50 million non-native-born residents, and a hollowed out manufacturing and assembly industry all created a new volatility. His sin was replying back in kind to the attacks of the Left crudely and in a way Bush, McCain and Romney did not. He also sought not to stop but to roll back the entire left-wing agenda, and by February 2020, in the pre-Covid months, might well have been re-elected given a booming economy, secure borders, a calmer world abroad and his victory over the special prosecutor, the impeachment conviction effort, and the media’s nonstop assaults. Almost all of the so-called administrative state, the rich, and the permanent bureaucracy, academia, the media, and entertainment despised him for both cultural and political reasons.

:::

The efforts of “Big Tech” to ban Trump and many of his supporters, while Apple, Google etc in concert made it almost impossible for a conservative site like Parler to exist, are reflections of a Salem Witch trial madness sparked by the trifecta of Trump’s loss, the Capitol violence, and the Republican loss of the Senate. Hysteria reigns as books by conservatives are now canceled, thousands kicked off social media, radio hosts fired etc. We are in a sort of left-wing version of the Corleone “Godfather” cinema family “taking care of business” all at once. Yet this new McCarthyism will prove an Orwellian mistake, and constitute one of the greatest political blunders in modern US history.

In contrast, again, the current Vice President Harris earlier had called for the more protests this summer. Many were violent and occasionally lethal, resulting in mass looting, death and arson by Antifa and BLM. She worked to bail out those arrested for street violence. The public is tiring of such asymmetries. US publishers all the time publish books like “In Defense of Looting” – a manifesto supporting the mass theft from stores this summer. So there is no consistency in the current violations of free speech. And the effort to remove Trump before his tenure not only failed, but showed his opponents as small-minded and vindictive and further divided a 50/50 divided country. ..

Exactly what I've been saying!

Dominion Voting Systems sues Giuliani for $1.3 billion over 'Big Lie' - CNNPolitics

They’ll sue Trump too for sure - some of these feckers will fold and agree to give evidence against Agent Orange

There will be emails, txts etc somewhere out there that will get released and used as evidence. Question is, will Trumpy have any blood on his own hands or will his puppets all be done and he gets away with it?

Great fun

Dominion Voting Systems is filing defamation lawsuits against all those who made demonstrably false claims about vote rigging. Time for the cretins to retract or pay up, bigly. I predict the latter.

Though to be fair they didn't storm the Capitol.

They did kick off significantly though: Tens of Thousands Protest Trump Election Victory, 124 Arrested - ABC News

That's not what I've seen - it's cease and desist with document preservation. Mind you some people are idiots and clearly don't understand that in a US court they will be the people being asked to provide evidence to show that their stories aren't a lie.

Lindell is the guy who has suggested that Trump declares martial law, he's another infractioning dickhead

That's what overloading on steroids does to you...

Shaved headed, goatie bearded men ... you can't trust them

If anyone knows of any on here, you have been warned ...

Retraction won't be enough - Dominion know that a retraction will only get 1/1000th of the attention the original story got so they are simply seeking to bankrupt everyone who defamed them.

Do we have an email address so we can pass on HugeBrain's details?

Should be a "not enough to matter" option. There is ALWAYS fraud but it is generally insignificant.

It sounds like it's a mixture of the two, first retraction demands, followed up later, to which some have already responded/retracted.
