Has anyone documented why Nancy Pelosi refused the National Guard's help on January 6? It's almost like she wanted something bad to happen.

ATLANTA, MAY 3, 2022 Early voting for the 2022 Georgia primaries began yesterday with yet another Dominion voting system malfunction. The Democracy Suite 5.5 Ballot Marking Device (BMD) touchscreens failed to display language for the 9 th Republican question out of 13 on the DeKalb County Republican ballot. The controversial touchscreens displayed only a "Yes" and "No" for the 9 th question without the actual referendum language itself. The question which printed correctly on mail-in ballots read: "Do you feel mask mandates represent appropriate government control over your constitutional freedom?" Some DeKalb precincts like Briarlake posted the printed version of the question at each voting station to compensate for the malfunction while others like the Tucker Library were unaware of the problem for most of the day. DeKalb Elections' staff could not explain why the malfunction was not corrected, or at least detected, during logic and accuracy testing. The Democracy Suite system has been constantly criticized because it accumulates votes hidden in a Quick Response (QR) code the voter cannot read.
A U.S. District court found in a 2020 order that the system does not print an elector verifiable ballot nor show the elector's choices in human readable text as required by Georgia laws. The system was purchased for over $100 million in 2019 by Secretary Brad Raffensperger despite warnings from computer scientists, cyber security experts, election integrity advocates, as well as Georgia voters.

Yesterday was not the first time that the Dominion system has malfunctioned. The voting system previously failed to tabulate correctly for the 2020 recount in Coffee County and other Georgia counties.
That failure was the subject of testimony at the House Government Affairs Committee and Senate Judiciary Sub-Committee hearings in December of 2020.
Yesterday was also not the first time that a Georgia voting system failed to display selections properly. In 2018, Georgia's unverifiable Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) touchscreens produced by Electronic Systems and Software (ES&S) appeared to fail in displaying the Lieutenant Governor's race between Geoff Duncan and Sarah Riggs Amico correctly.
A VoterGA analysis and affidavits from a subsequent lawsuit indicated the race may have been randomly left off touchscreens in minority dominant precincts when selections were first displayed to voters. The race displayed correctly if voters returned from the selection summary screen. Ms. Amico suffered a loss of over 100,000 votes with a 5% undervote rate compared to a normal 1% rate for that race historically and for other 2018 down ballot races. The anomaly still represents the greatest unexplained undervote in electronic voting history
The problem is the EAC has not certified any independent testing laboratories to perform the "VVSG 2.0" certification needed for Dominion to be in compliance.aggiehawg said:
Dominion is having problems in several counties in Georgia and New Mexico. Their systems are out of EAC compliance. Ballot alignment issues (not a printing problem) were caused by a software problem that they never fixed. Much like what happened in Antrim County Michigan. The down ballot races were all off.

Antrim County initially reported incorrect unofficial results because the clerk had updated the software on some but not all of the county's Dominion vote counting machines. This was a user error, and not a flaw in the technology. (A more detailed explanation of the error is available here.)

Almost 70% of the nation is concerned or very concerned with the lack of integrity in our election system. That's a whole lot of unreasonable people, I guess.Neehau said:aggieforester05 said:I should have stated in my original response, that neither the Kavanaugh Assualt or 1/6 warranted a politicized committee used to only to sling mud. It would have been stupid and transparently partisan for Republicans to do it as it is for Democrats to do it now.Watermelon Man said:Such an old trick, it should be called the GOT (Grand Old Trick). Accuse you opponents of your strategies, either before or after you employ them. That way, you can support your "both sides do it" claim.aggieforester05 said:Do you have any self awareness at all? Do you not understand that the primary reason Conservatives are so upset with the political climate is the exact reasons you described above, but in the opposite direction? The problem for example is that we have a 1/6 committee, but there was no Kavanaugh assault hearings. Nobody bothered to get to the bottom of the latter, because it was perpetrated by liberals. If conservatives had done the same they would be imprisoned for decades. The rule of law in todays age absolutely concerns itself with political affiliation and we want that to stop. If conservatives/Republicans or liberals/Democrats break the law or engage in malicious/corrupt activities they should be treated the same, but they are clearly not. The American left is rotten to the core and is completely content weaponizing federal law enforcement to punish their political enemies for crimes that wouldn't even make a news article if it were committed by a lefty. Trying to deny that there is a double standard is akin to being a flat earther at this point.Watermelon Man said:I am not clear on the facts of what you are calling "the Kavanaugh assault" so I am not sure it is an apt comparison. Did it force Congress to shut down, clear the House chamber, and force Congress to go into hiding? Was it targeted towards all members of Congress, or only specific ones? That is, was it a revolt against the whole of Congress, or a protest against aimed at specific representatives? I really don't know, so if you can elaborate on the specifics you might have a point. I can't seem to be able to find anything on it.Maroon Dawn said:
Somebody planned the Kavanaugh assault and encouraged others to participate in it expressly in order to revolt against the legal authority of the peoples representatives in order to overthrow him from being installed
Sounds like it meets your definition again
Buuuuuut
Let me guess:
It's STILL (D)ifferent
Regardless, just for the sake of argument, if you feel there were seditious actions taken against the US Congress during the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, you would need to find out who the 'somebody' was who planned it and encouraged others to participate as well as evidence of these actions. I'm sorry, but I can't seem to be able to find anything. Again, if you could provide more information, you might have a point.
But, for the record, if a Democrat planned and encouraged a coordinated attack on the Congress on the United States, I would hope they would be indicted, and if found guilty, punished as prescribed by law. The rule of law (in the US, anyway) should not concern itself on political affiliation. I realize that many Republicans feel that political affiliation should be considered when applying the rule of law, but I think that those people are wrong.
As for the bolded part, Dr. Ford did testify in front of Congress. Not just a deposition, but in person. Why is it that the Republicans are afraid to testify in front of Congress, and will only submit to depositions? Perhaps they are trying to hide something?
That being said, WTF are you talking about? Who is afraid to testify in Congress? Why would any Republican agree to testify in front of a transparently partisan witch hunt, where a bunch of lying dirt bag Democrats and Rhinos are going to twist facts into something that fits their narratives and leaves the public with a grossly distorted view of reality? Which will then be selectively edited and played on repeat eleventy billion times to manipulate the simple minds of low information voters. Maybe Republicans would be more apt to take part in these proceedings if they were treated fairly by the committee members and the media. They would be crucified regardless of their statements or the facts of the events in question. The lack of credibility of this committee is the fault of unbelievably dishonest Democrat/Rhino politicians, DNC propaganda outlets, and the ethically devoid liberals that support them.
Dr. Ford was a lying POS that should be in prison for perjuring herself in front of congress. Can you imagine the consequences if a Conservative supported by Republican senators came out and falsely testified in front of congress that a Democrat appointed nominee had sexually assaulted them in a transparent attempt to prevent a confirmation? There'd be committees, a special prosecutor, IRS audits, and the FBI stuck up their ass so far they'd look like a puppet.
It's (D)ifferent has never been more true. The American left doesn't care one iota about the rule of law and they sure as hell hate every word of our constitution because it is the foundation the most successful example of capitalism and freedom the world has ever seen. The antithesis of the progressive/communist agenda.
The bottom line is that any reasonable person should have believed the election was lost. That isn't the case. A deliberate false narrative was utilized to energize the insurgents on January 6th, money was raised that is unspoken for and people died during the insurgency. No spin doctoring can get in the way of these facts.

Brandenburg, a leader in the Ku Klux Klan, made a speech at a Klan rally and was later convicted under an Ohio criminal syndicalism law. The law made illegal advocating "crime, sabotage, violence, or unlawful methods of terrorism as a means of accomplishing industrial or political reform," as well as assembling "with any society, group, or assemblage of persons formed to teach or advocate the doctrines of criminal syndicalism."
Quote:
Did Ohio's criminal syndicalism law, prohibiting public speech that advocates various illegal activities, violate Brandenburg's right to free speech as protected by the First and Fourteenth Amendments?
The use of "and" is critical. Both 1 and 2 have to be present.Quote:
The Court's Per Curiam opinion held that the Ohio law violated Brandenburg's right to free speech. The Court used a two-pronged test to evaluate speech acts: (1) speech can be prohibited if it is "directed at inciting or producing imminent lawless action" and (2) it is "likely to incite or produce such action." The criminal syndicalism act made illegal the advocacy and teaching of doctrines while ignoring whether or not that advocacy and teaching would actually incite imminent lawless action. The failure to make this distinction rendered the law overly broad and in violation of the Constitution.

Former Judge Luttig just called Trump a "clear and present danger" and then slams any Republican candidate in 2024 will also try to steal an election and not concede defeat. He didn't mention DeSantis directly but that was a pretty low blow.
