Stupid is as stupid does Mama Gump
This is getting to be totally out of control. Part of the problems with The Big Lie is that when it starts to unravel, in your desperation to patch it back up again, you can end up doing something incredibly stupid and self destructive to the cause in the process.
Shining case in point. It started out quietly as an experiment in a single GOP stronghold county in Pennsylvania to test out the best way to uncount the election. Why they chose a GOP county where Trump won by more than 40 points is beyond me, except that maybe something went wrong, it would be easier to cover ups. The state GOP had both ballots as well as actual voting machines turned over to an unlicensed, unqualified out of state firm. Apparently they liked what they saw.
Because now we move on to Arizona, and the invasion of the Teenage Mutant Cyber Ninjas. More than 2.1 million votes from the largest county in the state, as well as all Dominion voting machines were turned over to a company that couldn’t get certified to count change in toll booths. Then the wheels fell off of their bad tempered little tantrum. A couple of weeks ago, the county election officials in Pennsylvania were notified by the state that since they had broken the clean chain of custody by turning the machines over to an unqualified firm under unsupervised conditions, every one of those machines is now considered tainted. They are going to have to replace every last one of them. Since the state is decertifying them from use. And last week the Arizona Secretary of State just gave the GOP Senate the same news. They’re going to have to replace every machine that they turned over to Cyber Ninjas in time for the next election.
I swear, these stupid fuckers just can’t stop stepping on their own cranks! With golf cleats. Look, forget about the millions of dollars it will cost somebody in the state of Arizona to replace all of those machines. Much more important is the staggering fact that in one stroke, The GOP just obliterated their best 2022 midterm argument for losses in Arizona!
Let’s say that Mark Kelly holds his Senate seat in next years election. And let’s say with the changing demographics, and people getting fed up with the GOP Senate, the Democrats take the Governors mansion. These would both likely be close races, and just as likely come down to massive turnout in Maricopa county. What is the GOP’s response to the loss?
The GOP has gone to the mattresses, nowhere harder than in Arizona, for the last 6 months, claiming that rampant voter fraud, enabled by Dominion voting machines, allowed the flipping of votes! This has been the Trump GOP catechism. The problem is that the stupid shits just forced every voting machine in Maricopa county to be replaced by a brand new, totally state of the art, security updated voting machine! With their cheap stunt this year, they just ensured that they won’t be able to have a temper tantrum over the voting machines next year.
You can only juggle so many eggs in the air at one time, and once that first one goes splat!, it’s only a matter of time before you slip on it, and up flat on your ass with all the other eggs pelting you. Stand up and take a bow, fools!

All of which, Murf, is why I’ve never been afraid of these noisy, stupid fools like some around here. This is a crowd that is too used to the rules of the game being rigged in their favor. But as Neil Gaiman wrote in American Gods, rigged games are the easiest ones to beat. That this bunch beat THEMSELVES in this game is jaw-droppingly flabbergasting.
Their thinking seems to miss step two: they have step one, and they figure step three is “maintain their political power forever”, but in between, all they have is lies.
The game has changed baresharki, and they just don’t get it…I think of it like when the NFL cjanged the rules on leading with your helmet, to protect players health, and these Neanderthals just don’t seen to get the new rules…They keep plugging away and getting penalized…Thanks so much for hanging around during the technical issues!!!
Hey, you know me, Murf, ride or die. Glad to hear from the Politizoom gang again!
Bare, like you, I have not lost one minute of sleep with these looney’s and their totally random testing of the ballots and non-standard practices of munching through those many boxes of ballots without any link to protocol of election count procedures … it’s all nullified at once and all that a judge has to say is forget it you were fools to do it and the State will not pay for new machines, you, on the other hand WILL pay for new machines … now the game swings to another dimension, where is the GOP going to get those millions of dollars for replacing machines?
The stupidity of the GOP is their grand mark on these last years with Trump, then and now, nothing here to see as any competence in the GOP ….
It seems like I am surrounded by people that are not even smart enough to ride the short yellow school buses around in a circle. It is so nice to hear something that is not so stupid I want to blow my brains out Thank you!
Trump won the election whether you want to believe it or not. Anyone in their right mind would not vote for a demented old man, let alone a Willie Brown whore for president or VP. It will all come out soon enough how despicable the cheating Democrats are.
I do not have to believe it or not. It is a confirmed fact that Trump lost. It is Trump supporters like you who elevate baseless speculation to “evidence.” If your speculation were actually evidence, belief or disbelief is irrelevant.
Biden is the potus now. But people like Murph keep going after Trump. You know why? Because how can the Dumb Dems write or say anything positive about the extreme mental deficient Biden? In 5 months this country went from no dependancy on foreign oil to having to buy foreign oil again. Fuel has gone up about a dollar per gallon since elected. Bombs are falling all over the mid east again. Taxes are going up as is everything. Wood for construction is up over 500%. Inflation is rising fast. Biden opened the southern borders and thousands of foreigners want in for free medical care.free food. Free money. Heat assistance.Voting privilages. Not to mention Joes cokehead son and his dirty deeds. Joes love of little children sitting on his lap.Touching all over pre teen girls. Hair sniffing and improper touching of kids and teenagers. besides Joe Biden is a major racist. Talk Biden and not Trump Murph. Tell us how good Joe is.
If you want to try shoveling that (Trump hued) orange Kool Aid here then provide a list of “ingredients” by which I mean provides sources (real ones – not OAN or Newsmax fantasy bullshit) for your claims.
We really need that thumbs up button again.
I suspect ursula has her tech people focused on keeping the site running and stable. I recall a while back when there were issues and the vote up or down buttons were missing and she said she missed them too so I’d imagine at some point down the road she’ll be able to focus on smaller details like that. But making sure the site doesn’t keep going down would be my own priority right now. Oh, and speaking of little details the “like” button got to bugging me. I don’t twiter or the other stuff and even though I haven’t deleted my FB account it’s basically there so I can get word if there’s big news regarding someone I knew long ago. I started avoiding spending time there years ago and don’t want to get back on their radar as an active user. Basically, we used to be able to just click the like button but well before the latest round of site problems we had to use FB, Twitter or other social media to do so. That’s why I haven’t “liked” an article for so long. But as with the vote up or down buttons it’s small potatoes right now. Maybe in a month or two I’ll directly ask her to see if we can’t go back to just clicking the button instead of having to “like” via some other platform/site.
The reason anyone is still talking about Trump is because the GQP still supports Trump, have designated Trump as their kingmaker, and take their marching orders from Trump. If the Republican party abandoned Trump as they should, Murph would stop talking about him. It sounds like what you really mean is you want Trump to be able to call the shots with the implied consent of Democrats. Never gonna happen.
Paper ballots. Still use them here (from a smallish state, admittedly): securable, trackable, checkable.
