Evan McMullin Announces Bid Challenge Mike Lee for Utah Senate, and Democrat Shills Bill Kristol and Charlie "3-Wives" Sykes Couldn't Be More Excited

Evan McMullin's bid to unseat Mike Lee is...

A) yet another Democrat-funded operation to increase Democrat control

B) an opportunity for the seemingly jobless Evan McMullin to rake in more money from Democrat billionaires and Useful Idiots on Twitter

C) Both A & B

Via Twitchy, the Salt Lake Tribune reported yesterday:

Evan McMullin, who won more than 21% of the Utahns' votes for president in 2016, will challenge Sen. Mike Lee as an independent candidate for Utah’s Senate seat next year.
An announcement of his candidacy is likely to come soon -- perhaps very soon -- a source in the McMullin camp told me over the weekend.

The McMullin "camp" consists of McMullin, Bill Kristol, their wives, and their wives' f***-stags.

Bill Kristol and Charlie "3-Wives" Sykes are eagerly quoting from this biased, McMullin-promoting piece almost as if they're responsible for planting the quotes in the first place.

And now, Evan McMullin releases this Please Send Me Money So I Can Take My Boyfriend to Red Lobster and Order the Fisherman's Feast Like a Gangster Boss ad:

I'm Evan McMullin, I'm running for US Senate as an independent candidate here in Utah to defeat Mike Lee. Please watch my video, RT, and follow this account for updates on our campaign. pic.twitter.com/NBixnY9WkI

I've read the texts. He was unnecessarily mean and hurtful.
Though, I should thank him. She's a wonderful woman, and a fantastic partner.

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the idea that Egg McMuffin dates women -- what is he, bi? -- but the "asshole" part checks out.

Also a lot of them rescue pittie mixes which can be a challenge for experienced trainers. they have no idea how to handle them (or the little toys they also tend to get, who are ALSO hard to train) and they don't really bother

173 gotta quote this, from an email the other day from a leftwing Dem group:

About six months ago, Democrats across the party spectrum agreed that they'd try to move their agenda through two bills: a bipartisan infrastructure bill (the BIF) and the Build Back Better Act. The idea was that Dems would work with Republicans on the (very small) areas of infrastructure where compromise was possible, and then we'd roll all the really big and important parts of the Democratic agenda -- climate action, paid family leave and child care, lower prescription drug prices, a pathway to citizenship, and more -- into one megabill, the Build Back Better Act, which could pass through the reconciliation process with just Democratic votes.

The idea behind linking the two bills was simple. Conservative Dems would get what they wanted (some headlines about bipartisanship, good vibes), and the rest of us would get what we wanted (THE ACTUAL DEMOCRATIC AGENDA).

Lee is a CoC mass immigrationist and fairly close to being the median Republican senator without a hint of personal scandal ... all things Bulwarkians pretended to be for not too long ago.

But I suppose McMullin is too poor at the moment to move to another state, so must make do with what's at hand.

True. The only reason people should care though is that McMuffin ran to distinguish true GOP(e)rs with honor, integrity, and whatnot against the vile Drumpf. And yet at the end, McMuffin did exactly the same thing he accused Trump doing in his businesses - stiffing vendors.

Just another (belated) lesson that nowadays the people preaching virtue in politics and all that are the first ones to jettison it when it becomes convenient.

263 This looks like "campaign fund-kiting."

McMullin owed a lot of people a lot of $$ after 2016. I doubt he's paid off the debts.

What better way to solve that problem than to run again, spend very little, raise a lot, and get the old debts out of the way?

Lee, who came in during the Tea Party wave in 2010, is a bitter disappointment in many ways, esp relating to H1B visas, so-called guest workers, and illegal immigration. I would rather see someone else try to defeat him from the right, but I guess that won't happen.

Additionally, Utah still has a party convention. It used to be the ONLY vehicle for getting a nomination for national office, but it got watered down to save Mitt Romney's Senate candidacy when he ran.

Romney finished second at the 2018 GOP convention. That would previously have kept him off the ballot, but under new rules he was able to run in a GOP primary against the guy who beat him at the convention. Romney defeated him, purely on name recognition and not merit.

It's very unlikely that McMullin will get past the convention, meaning any money he raised up to that point won't have to be spent. Like I said, "campaign fund-kiting."

Evidently a lot aren't. Carnival Cruise Line has sold two of its ships and another 16 are being mothballed or scrapped. Royal Caribbean said they were not going to get rid of any ships but recently sold one of their biggest.

In fact, every cruise ship business in the world is selling and/or scrapping ships because they cannot possibly afford to keep them sitting around doing nothing.

286 If I was the British government, I would be rather worried about this chart; very, very worried. UK natural gas has now breached the equivalent to $40 per million Btu barrier (~300 pence per therm). In oil terms, it's now trading above $230 per barrel of oil equivalent.
Posted by: weft cut-loop at October 05, 2021 12:45 PM (1t5dY)
++++
A therm is basically 100,000 BTU. 300 pence is three pounds is $4.09. To get it down to household scale, it is 41 cents per 10,000 BTU. A typical kitchen gas burner size is 10,000 BTU/hour. So running your typical average gas stove burner full blast for one hour will cost about 41 cents plus delivery.

But what about heat? An 80,000 BTU furnace - in the average range, though lower in that range - will consume 0.8 therms per hour. So running your 80k BTU furnace for one hour will cost $3.27 in fuel.

I hope your ass is lubed for winter, Britain. And U.S. Whatever.

What Dominion provides is an easily-defeated and easily-corrupted system that can be abused trivially and at scale by its customers.

Good point that commenters brought up is that he admittedly presented himself well throughout the 2016 campaign and then went full conspiracy theorist about Drumpf and Muh Russia afterwords. Dunno if that'll help or hurt him in UT though.

He also liked to parade around that picture of himself toting an M16 in front of whatever that place is in Iraq with the crossed scimitars. But there doesn't look to be a spec of dirt on him and he doesn't have that hard-operator-badass look, he can't even fake it either.

Purchases of PCR tests in China's Hubei Province (capitol: Wuhan) surged months before the first official reports of a novel coronavirus case there, according to a report by Australia-based cybersecurity company Internet 2.0.

About 67.4 million yuan ($10.5 million at current rates) was spent on PCR tests in Hubei during 2019, nearly double the 2018 total, with the upswing starting in May, according to the report.

How could anyone know whether they showed up or not? I believe that the "results" were all dialed in weeks before the theater of pretending to let people cast ballots even started. There are no more chances of having an honest election in California than there are in Venezuela. The only reason some Republicans are elected are because a) it's necessary to keep up the pretense, and b) none of them cause any real trouble for the Ruling Class.

I don't agree with the conclusion. Electronic systems absolutely can be well-designed and built to avoid fraud. Electronic tabulation makes a tremendous amount of sense. I don't like electronic voting, but the counting and arithmetic being computerized is sensible.

But Dominion's systems are not secure or designed to prevent fraud. Everything that's come up indicates that the opposite is true: they're designed to be exploitable. Thinks like duplicate checking and append-only databases and log files are basic level secure system shit, and it has nothing at all in this regard. That system is designed to be abused and defrauded, and I think that is where Dominion's actions are. They don't cheat the vote, but they deliberately designed the system to enable cheating and I suspect they probably train the operators on how to do it.

373 Of course this is a Democrat party stump but they're wasting their energy. They don't need to worry about splitting the vote. The biggest threat to the GOP are republican incumbents and Trump/Tea Party/Conservative/Independent voters who no longer have any reason to turn out and vote for them.

Nobody I talk to believes 2020 was on the up & up. Nobody I talk to has anything good to say about Biden or Pelosi or BLM or any of the rest. But from the right-leaning folks I talk to, there is equal antipathy for the GOP. The Virginia governor's race will be one to watch. I have a feeling it's going to be record low turnout, but the Dems will win because GOP turnout for youngkin is going to be abysmal.

394 So yesterday was a really tough day for FB.

I am hearing from my various associates that this is being attributed as a BGP configuration error. Knowing how I and my fellow professionals design networks to survive hardware failures and DDOS attacks, I can only think of one way that a misconfiguration does this, and that is via a script that modifies several devices all at once.

This is why I'm not a code-jocky type network engineer and why I think it is a mistake for large enterprise network engineers to be so eager to use scripts as a means of network administration.
Scripts are very very powerful and eagerly uncaring about unexpected errors in logic.
It is far better to evolve a network change in a series of small phases rather than try to make large leaps simultaneously.

I say this because FB had recently reached out to recruit me for their network team. I was considering the position because "keep your enemies closer..." But they were adamant that I be strong on scripting and coding and I pushed back. So this outage... kinda saw it coming.

It's beyond saying that the election was "stolen" - California is so corrupt that there seriously is no point in even pretending to vote in that state anymore, there is not even the possibility of any honest elections. And it's all "legal" because once vote harvesting was allowed, it was Game Over for any actual democratic processes. California is pure Oligarchy now, the people living there have nothing to say in how it's run. All of that is just theater to keep the chattering classes entertained.

I agree with physical documents. Paper voting. Physical votes. But electronic tabulation, counting and totaling makes sense. It can be more secure than a purely physical system. A punch card tabulator cannot do duplication detection or automatic cross-checking against the voter roll, for example. An electronic system can. But the overall structure end-to-end - from the voter roll to voter validation to the vote itself to its tabulation to its chain of custody to its storage to its audit - needs to be designed well and maintained.

446 All kinds of different parts of the process are being mixed up here.

Punch-card ballot counting cannot be beat (and no, "voter intent" is the voter's job, an improperly voted ballot doesn't count - just as many many improperly voted ballots are not counted, and never have been). Properly calibrated machines are correct - which is why FL's actual 2000 count (as verified by multiple independent recounts after) announced on election night was ..... just about exactly correct.

Voter registration and voting integrity (who gets to actually vote a ballot) are and are supposed to be completely separate processes. That's kind of the point.

With normal, pre-1990s, solid systems - one election day, in-person voting or strictly monitored absentee, only - physical ballots and almost entirely physical processes are much more difficult to defraud, and infinitely easier to validate/investigate/check, than any other system. Even with the abominations of "election month" and the like, now, they remain superior in those respects.

448 "But the stuff that McAuliffe is saying about him and doing, I will crawl over broken glass to vote for Youngkin."

Not me. Not this time. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. I used to think the Republicans were the lesser of two evils. It took me a LONG time to wake up to the fact they're just a different face of the same evil.

Virginia should be a perfect lesson to the state and national parties about what will happen to them when they sell us out. But it won't happen, because enough lemmings will turn out to vote against the Democrat. Not enough to matter. Not enough to change the outcome. But enough to ensure the GOP will keep on not getting it.

450 McMullin married a widow with five children a couple months ago. As he's clearly homosexual I was figuring he was prepping a ready made family for when he waits Romney out and ran for the Senate in 2024. I didn't expect him to be bold enough to take on Lee this soon, especially as an independent. I'm curious if he'll get any support though; wouldn't the Democrats who prop up the McMullin-adjacent media prefer to give their money to the Democrat (obviously they're rich enough to give to both him and a Democrat)? I think Lee's a Mormon as well so the cynical calculation that McMullin's backers made in 2016 wouldn't really be in play here. Interested to see how this plays out.

... he's the Tony Danza of the GOP

someone is always looking to cast him in a role

but Tony couldn't act and McMullin is just a grade B professional grifter, glad-hander and butt-kisser.

but someone sure likes that guy, hmmm I wonder who?
