BREAKING NEWS: Michael Mann defamation case against @MarkSteynOnline
& Simberg close to collapse after Mann's lawyers neglected to enter alleged defamatory articles into the court as evidence. Mann looking anxiously as lawyers.

Maybe they were just hiding the decline. Thanks to weft-cut loop.

The contractor who stole Trump's tax returns, and the tax returns of 1,500 other Americans, and sent them to the leftwing media for purposes of politically attacking people with their confidential tax information pleaded guilty to a single count and was sentenced to five years in prison, which he probably won't serve.

Former Internal Revenue Service contractor Charles Littlejohn was sentenced Monday to 5 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to leaking former President Donald Trump's tax records, as well as those of some of the nation's wealthiest people.
After serving his sentence, Littlejohn, 38, will have 3 years of supervised release. He will also have to pay a $5,000 fine, according to CBS News.
Littlejohn was charged in September and pleaded guilty the following month to one charge of unauthorized disclosure of tax returns and information about the returns. He received the maximum sentence of 5 years on Monday.

The left is still whining that someone phished Leon Panetta's email password out of him and published some embarrassing emails about the DNC scheming to deny Bernie Sanders a fair primary in 2015-2016. This, they say, "rigged an election."

They began a global censorship crusade on the basis of this event.

But this guy? They let him plead guilty to a single count and the leftwing media never talks about his attempt to interfere with the 2020 election.

You know -- the only 100% fair and unrigged election in history.

You might say it was well "fortified," in fact.

Breitbart has the Sad! news:

Comedian Kathy Griffin is begging fans to buy tickets to her upcoming comedy tour, saying tickets are "not selling well."
Kathy Griffin put our her plea to fans in a recent video posted to her various social media accounts.
"It's all about the tour, man. Just freaking get me to opening night in Des Moines. And Omaha is not selling well. First of all, there's not enough people there," the anti-Trump comedian said. (Both Iowa and Nebraska voted heavily in favor of then-President Donald Trump in the 2020 election.)
"I need comedy fans to come out and see me in Kansas City. Come on! I need sell-outs. I've been through hell. I've been through so much crap since my last tour. I actually just have to laugh at it. I just have to laugh."

There's a video at the link of her begging for charity. She looks bizarre. She's had a lot of non-subtle plastic surgery.

From The Right to Bear Memes:

The board game "Settler of Catan" upholds "colonialist narratives," say bitter, unemployable psychopaths, grifters, and narcissists.

Ultimately, through a set of game mechanics that motivates resource extraction in the name of settling a supposed empty land, the connection between the in-game narrative and the political histories of North America and other parts of the world is clear. As historian Lorenzo Veracini says, "the Settlers of Catan is really about settler colonialism."

To win a Twitter argument about DEI, billionaire Mark Cuban admitted that he routinely hires people based on race all the time. Anyone who works for Cuban but who was fired or was not given a raise or promotion, or who was rejected for employment by Cuban's companies, can now cite his Twitter confession that not only does he make hiring decisions based on race, sex, and "gender expression," but that he's proud to do it.

Mark Cuban
@mcuban
I've never hired anyone based exclusively on race, gender, religion. [Emphasi added.]
I only ever hire the person that will put my business in the best position to succeed.
And yes, race and gender can be part of the equation. I view diversity as a competitive advantage

He then babbled about companies that engage in affirmative action hiring... for whites, which is something that simply does not happen but whatever, idiot.

An actual EEOC commissioner told him he was breaking the law:

Andrea R. Lucas

@andrealucasEEOC

@mcuban, EEOC Commissioner here. Unfortunately you're dead wrong on black-letter Title VII law. As a general rule, race/sex can't even be a "motivating factor"--nor a plus factor, tie-breaker, or tipping point. It's important employers understand the ground rules here.

I think what Cuban means is that he doesn't hire exclusively on race... but if he's serving black customers and it would help his business to have black faces serving them, he'll hire blacks. Not for their race, directly, but because their race is good for business.

Here's the trouble: A lot of businesses could say -- and indeed, did used to say -- "I'm hiring white salesmen because my customers are mostly white and feel more comfortable buying from whites." This was found to be invidious and illegal discrimination. You can't just say "well I own a basketball team and blacks like it when I discriminate against whites so I'm discriminating for business reasons, not for personal anti-white feelings."

That reasoning has been against the law for, oh, about 60 years now, Mark.

Read a fucking book, you Twitter-addicted shithead ignoramus.

He's piling up problems for himself. pic.twitter.com/q5rArk12n5
— James Lindsay, anti-Fascist (@ConceptualJames) January 29, 2024

Lawyers are literally trolling this thread telling people who have been denied employment or promotions at a Mark Cuban company to contact them for purposes of filing a discrimination lawsuit.

Blacks are "not enthusiastic" about proposals for reparations, despite the left making a massive push for this.

Progressive politicians are having trouble convincing Black Americans that reparations are politically feasible or possible within this generation, according to a new report.
"We have been talking about [reparations] for years, people have been fighting for this for years," Aziza Kamara-Amimi, a Californian, said at a Sunday service at San Francisco's Glide Memorial Church. "And still all we are doing is talking and talking, and I don't see any real progress being made."
"What's the real solution?" Kamara-Amimi reportedly asked.
The Washington Post reported in a story headlined, "Black Americans aren't enthusiastic about reparations yet," that some pro-reparations activists are concerned that Black support is too low for reparations to make it a serious political possibility.

"If Black residents, who make up 6.5 percent of California residents, don't believe in reparations enough to apply political pressure on state leaders, the movement could stall, advocates worry," the outlet reported.

But would they kill a staffer and stuff her body in a locker?

24 > As a general rule, race/sex can't even be a "motivating factor"--nor a plus factor, tie-breaker, or tipping point. It's important employers understand the ground rules here.

Has the EEOC Commissioner been hiding under a rock for the last ten years? Employers have blatantly been telling their hiring managers to hire fewer white people. They're giving bonuses for hiring "more diverse" people. They're getting pushed out if they hire too many white people. They're having to ask PERMISSION to hire white people when they can't find a "diverse" person to fill jobs.

Here's a 2022 survey done by Resume Builder and Pollfish.

17% of hiring managers report they have been told to stop hiring white men. 48% have been told to prioritize diversity over qualifications. 53% believe they'll lose their job if they don't hire enough "diverse" people.

When the counting stopped in the 6 swing states that through the election to Biden Trump was winning in all of them. Nobody has ever explained why those states all chose to stop counting nor how it was possible that Biden gained enough votes in a statistically impossible way to win.

176 When the counting stopped in the 6 swing states that through the election to Biden Trump was winning in all of them. Nobody has ever explained why those states all chose to stop counting nor how it was possible that Biden gained enough votes in a statistically impossible way to win.

One of the things that really blew my mind was in one of the states were three straight tranches of votes came in with the exact same vote totals (something like 1000-15) for Biden in a 50-50 state.

Yes, yes as the left went on about the mail in votes were going to favor Biden (because of the fraud) but...THE EXACT SAME LOPSIDED TOTALS?!?

Crying Up 'Genocide Joe' Is Attacking Mr. Biden. Attacking Mr. Biden is assisting Trump and the christo-fascist right.This Sort Of Demonstration Affects the cohesion of the bloc of voters which puts Democratic Party people in office, which is at present essential to warding off a fascist dictatorship.

It will be their exceedingly bad luck if they manage to damage him so badly that he loses to Trump. Trump is announcing he will not just reinstate his Muslim Ban, but move to expel Muslims from the US — including Palestinian refugees. How’s that for a genocidal move?

They're being played as Russian and Chinese stooges, whether they know it or not.

"The right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."[i[ It doesn't sound like they are being played to me. Maybe they just happen to believe their vote is worth something to them.

Think back to abortion turnout being the difference in the mid terms. It wasn't true, but it provided a basis for the 2-3% of fraud where it was needed.

All sorts of other states took several days longer to count 100% of the votes, it's just these 6 were the states people cared about because it determined the election.

So is your theory the vote totals came in, the Democrats saw there was way more Trump votes then they anticipated. So they decided then they needed to manufacture fake ballots and that's why there was a delay in the counting? They needed more time to print the fake ballots? They didn't do the printing beforehand?

Look, fraud happened, but it's just the usual stuff that happens every election. But somehow Republicans not named Trump win these states, despite the vast conspiracy.

Shapiro is claiming Swift's sales numbers are cooked? Has he looked at ticket prices at her concerts? People are spending $500 to $7,000 dollars to see her live and the tickets disappear faster than a dildo up Barack's ass.

Even if her numbers are a bit inflated, the girl is raking in mega-millions by the month.

She re-released a bunch of albums as "Taylor's Version" because her old manager had the rights to all her old songs and the "new" albums immediately sold by the tens of millions.

246 I root for KC now and love Mahomes abilities. But I just watch the highlights on YouTube, am not really dedicated, have none of their merchandise.

But surely as far as fan base goes, conservatives have to be on the KC side over San Fran? Sad about kneeling kuck Kelce and his (marketing ploy?) girlfriend ... but whatever. Go Chiefs (representing flyover country?).

Maybe I'm not communicating it clearly. Re-read 197 if you didn't see the thread, and then this from NPR:

"On Tuesday morning, the singer posted a short message on Instagram encouraging her 272 million followers to register to vote. Afterward, the website she directed her fans to — the nonpartisan nonprofit Vote.org — recorded more than 35,000 registrations, according to the organization."

250 I'm 72 and have been paying attention to elections since the late 60s. There has never been an election where four states just stopped counting for the night. Never, ever.

yes they did, look at FL in the 2000 election. It was about a month later, all sorts of times counting stopped and started.

Absentee, mail-in ballots used to be less than 1% of votes cast. That's most of the problem.

The "stopped counting" part is because of oversight, there's only so many observers and officials that can watch these things at 4am.

252 I don't understand this point. Why would fans pay $1 for a song they can get for free?

-

Because it's all fake and gay. That's the point.

She's popular because she's popular and everyone knows she's popular so she's popular. The streaming services - programmed by humans - reinforce what are essentially search engine results.

Again, like I said at the beginning, she's not going to influence jack. But the psy-op of massive turnout (like abortion) is being established in order to help the cheating.

So the conspiracy lets certain Republicans win, and others lose?

Stacy Abrams had to lose in GA to make the kabuki look more real?

Do you really believe these things?

if Democrats could rig these things to that level, no Republican would ever win office again.

261 Just putting this here to easily find it for JJ's thread:

The video linked earlier today said it takes about 150 instances of a song being streamed on a platform for the artist to earn $1

It would be much easier for a WILDLY popular artist to sell a song for $1 to 50M to 100M of her 272M fans. $100M per song, week after week after week.

Or go crazy and charge $2 per song.

But those fans don't really exist. The streaming services keep the perception of popularity alive and stoked in the public's mind, but it isn't real. Not in a way that translates to actual people.

Same as the votes this November.

262 Look, fraud happened, but it's just the usual stuff that happens every election. But somehow Republicans not named Trump win these states, despite the vast conspiracy.

If you were any more full of shit, it would be coming out of your ears. No the cheating in 2020 was not their normal cheat.

That is what happened in 2016 when Trump won. They gened up Covid to make Trump look bad, and to force key states to go to mail in voting to enable extra fraud. The Democrat law suit against the Repub gov in GA DEMONSTRATED LIVE IN COURT THAT DOMINION MACHINES CAN EASILY BE HACKED TO SWITCH VOTES FROM ONE CANDIDATE TO ANOTHER. In MI there are videos of trucks full of fake ballots arriving at 1:00 AM. A Democrat poll watcher in Philly complained about being thrown out, and the windows be occluded so nobody could see what they were doing.

Trump got 75,000,000 votes in 2020, show me any of your RINO GopE heroes who ever did that.

The plea deal usually involves pleading to one count, (easy to deal with), and a simple sentence. He's avoided what was probably more time, and will serve 85% of the 5 years. There is no parole in the Fed system. He can qualify for 15% off the sentence for "good time."

271 "he board game "Settler of Catan" upholds"

Settler of Catan, is one of the few repeat table top games played on "Previously Recorded" stream, promoted by RLM hosted by Jack Packard and Rich Evans. Are they gonna ban a very popular channel that simply accepts lefty doctrine as normal, while avoiding, mostly the pitfalls of politics? Truth is they don't actually watch the things they claim they want to watch, and the signallers don't reach the people they are trying to placate.

So has copyrite fraud (however you spell it.) Cuban's company, that he sold to whoever, for 4 billion in guaranteed stamped value of yahoo, back in whenever was Broadcast.com. It was a fraud and pirate company. He and his brother would capture generally broadcast sportsball games, and then redistribute them, from canada into the US and Vice Versa. I think that they had to be rebranded, into something else, but the core business that he developed through theft, and then to sold to suckers doesn't exist at all in it's form other than the name. he ran a 4bil (I think it was almost 7 bil) con job on yahoo) yet he's lecturing on dignity and respect and law.
