Riding thru Haralson County GA yesterday saw a lot of Magamoron signage still displayed, this and no doubt what's happening in Angry (white) Man radio is no surprise but still disappointing.

Postal worker admits fabricating allegations of ballot tampering

https://www.washingtonpost.com/inves...b8e_story.html

A Pennsylvania postal worker whose claims have been cited by top Republicans as potential evidence of widespread voting irregularities admitted to U.S. Postal Service investigators that he fabricated the allegations, according to three people briefed on the investigation and a statement from a House congressional committee.

Richard Hopkins’s claim that a postmaster in Erie, Pa., instructed postal workers to backdate ballots mailed after Election Day was cited by Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) in a letter to the Justice Department calling for a federal investigation. Attorney General William P. Barr subsequently authorized federal prosecutors to open probes into credible allegations of voting irregularities and fraud, a reversal of long-standing Justice Department policy.

But on Monday, Hopkins, 32, told investigators from the U.S. Postal Service’s Office of Inspector General that the allegations were not true, and he signed an affidavit recanting his claims, according to the people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe an ongoing investigation. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee tweeted late Tuesday that the “whistleblower completely RECANTED.”

Pathetic.

Tough time to be a Repub. Scared of speaking out against tRump. Scared to trigger the ire of conservative media. Scared of pissing off the Reich-wing voters by speaking truth. Tough nuggets, you bought your ticket enjoy the ride.

You'all do remember this is the "party" (AKA a cult) that suspended all belief in reality long ago. In favor of the alternative tales of their masters.

So the present day events should not be to big of a surprise.

Charles Koch regrets his partisanship: 'Boy, did we screw up!'

Doh!

From the Koch article:

"Despite Koch's calls for unity, his political contributions largely favored GOP candidates in the 2020 election cycle, with $2.8 million donated to Republicans and just $221,000 for Democratic candidates, the Journal reported."

GOP leaders in 4 states quash dubious Trump bid on electors

https://news.yahoo.com/trump-win-fan...053422014.html

Republican leaders in four critical states won by President-elect Joe Biden say they won’t participate in a legally dubious scheme to flip their state’s electors to vote for President Donald Trump. Their comments effectively shut down a half-baked plot some Republicans floated as a last chance to keep Trump in the White House.

State GOP lawmakers in Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin have all said they would not intervene in the selection of electors, who ultimately cast the votes that secure a candidate's victory. Such a move would violate state law and a vote of the people, several noted.

Finally, some Repubes with guts. It's OVER, Donny!
