From my point of view, the folks who are being the most dismissive of vote recounts / audits are the far-far-right folks such as Brainey. Mostly because they're not turning up big enough swings in the vote count to support their narrative that Trump was the rightful winner of the 2020 election.

Now that's interesting.

When the IRS audits you, do you just submit the same tax form with the same numbers filled in? Or do you show proof how you got those numbers?
The audits are uncovering plenty of ****, you have dismissed then from day one because npr hasn't run with it and told you what to think.

I noticed you completely dismissed by direct retort btw, like always.
Remember when you said trump was in cohorts with russia cause someone he knew got arrested for tax fraud?
That was cute.

One positive thing has come from the absurd turn which this tread has taken. In the process of researching an earlier post, I became aware of the very "beclown."
Roughly speaking, it means "to make a fool of, to make into a clown."
As in: "In his recent interview with George Stephanopoulos, President Biden has once again beclowned himself to a degree not previously considered attainable."

I'm a very boring person and pretty much all I watch on YT is fishing shows. Honestly, I watch this guy for his entertainment and comedic value as he's not a great fisherman. But he doesn't pretend to be either.
Anyhow, it gets interesting at the 6 minute mark. TLDR, he got vaccinated for cv19 and was out of commission for four weeks. Bonus cat footage at the 14 minute mark.

You want "cognitive dissonance?" Look at any news regarding the Arizona audit and all you get is that Biden won by an even larger margin. None of the dozens of details that point to major fraud. Of course the Dems could kill a person, hand the smoking gun directly to a Republican, and they'd still **** up the investigation.

Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way that you can quickly understand them. This quote came from the Czech Republic. Someone over there has it figured out. It was translated into English from an article in a Prague newspaper.
"The danger to America is not Joseph Biden, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of a Biden presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Biden, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Biden, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president."

I've seen too many of their "fact checks" that say "it's true but that's not the whole story".
I no longer trust anything they write. Like your Arizona one above, are the Republicans saying that the duplicates were counted? If they are then politifact's entire "fact check" is irrelevant and doesn’t answer the actual question.

Red-hats: Where is your proof?
Yellow-hats: Here is an easily verifiable source of evidence.
Red-hats: I reject your reality, and substitute my own.
Honestly, dude, I get that you think I'm a leftie.
I'm really struggling with that.
I have never voted for a Democrat candidate for a Federal office in my life.
If you reject that explanation, then I honestly don't see any path to the light here.

.
Do you dispute the existence / legitimacy of all of these?- North Korea
- The moon
- A Google datacenter
- My home
- Club 33
- The bedroom of Queen Elizabeth II
EDIT: Also, seriously, this smacks of self-aggrandizement. Have you personally petitioned Maricopa County, AZ (or any other municipality) with a request that you be allowed to count the votes cast in that region in 2020?
I thought not.
Seriously, and I'm saying this in the nicest way possible: Stop trying to prop yourself up on a cross. You are not God's answer to all inequity and injustice.
