I did not even wait that long. After the first few seconds I decided it was not worth the aggravation, or just the knowledge.

Pro-Trump lawyer Lin Wood causes headache for GOP in key S.C. race
Pro-Trump lawyer Lin Wood's decision to run for chair of the South Carolina Republican Party has turned a typically sleepy race into a headache for the GOP.
Wood, a conspiracy theory-touting lawyer who is a chief propagator of debunked claims of voter fraud in the presidential race, is challenging current South Carolina GOP Chairman Drew McKissick after moving to the Palmetto State in February — despite former President Trump having already backed McKissick.
The implications of the race to lead the state’s Republican Party — which will be decided at its convention Saturday — extend beyond the state’s boundaries due to South Carolina’s early slot in the presidential primary calendar.
Wood’s candidacy in the race has mostly been defined by rabble-rousing antics, including heckling McKissick during a local Republican event in April and vowing to “shake it up” in South Carolina.
And while Republicans in the state assure that McKissick has his reelection bid in the bag, they say Wood’s candidacy is an unwanted distraction.

And I thought no publicity was bad publicity. The GOP should be happy, they brought it upon themselves. Ride the tiger.

I'm not optimistic about the "Franklin" project, the problem is not one of misunderstanding, we understand well enough and there are somethings decent people cannot compromise with. They have to start telling the truth and stop lying, all of them, the base, the politicians and the news sources they get their disinformation from. You cannot compromise with what remains of the republican party, they must be defeated.

Im pretty pumped for it.
I could see how they could do some really good inspiring motivating science messaging historic youtube videos. We do have so much to be proud of as a society, let the Lincoln project attack the insurrectionists with the hate they reflect back at them, and the Franklin project do something just as effective but different. So I hope it doesn't suck.

"In flagrant disregard for Georgia tax law, Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed for homestead exemptions at fourteen different hourly motels."
Almost didn't click on it. Anytime I see the Lincoln Project logo, it's always the movie trailer voice with doom and gloom, but that was a nice little clip. One of my best friends is quasi-conservative/republican(pre-retard era) and while we don't outright agree on a whole lot, we can almost always find common ground.

The feds might charge her, the state government in Georgia won't, republicans are now above the law where they hold power.

Marjorie Taylor Greene and her husband received tax breaks on two Georgia homes, investigation says. Married couples are only allowed one, according to state law.
- Marjorie Taylor Greene and her husband are accused of having two active homestead exemptions.
- Homestead exemptions offer tax breaks to homeowners, but only one per married couple is permitted.
- If the couple is found to be violating Georgia state law, they could face a fine of $12,000.
The investigation found that Greene and her husband have two active homestead exemptions, WSB-TV said.
Property tax homestead exemptions offer significant tax breaks to homeowners. Married couples are only allowed to file for one exemption, according to Georgia law.
But the Greenes are reportedly receiving tax breaks on a property in North Fulton County and another $610,000 home in Floyd County, WSB-TV's investigative journalist Justin Gray said.

The fine is about 500 dollars. She had to file that residence to be able to run for Congress in district 14. They never live there. They stay in their Buckhead place in Fulton County.

Darn. She just can't win for trying. I bet she would have been a great addition to the GOP.

Not sure if this is what these guys are doing, but my cousins have a house in Tampa and one up here in the sticks. They went to the courthouse and got a legal separation. Now each of them can claim homestead exemption on a separate house. I had thought about doing it to save taxes on the riverhouse, but my wife is too honest for that sort of thing.

Got to wonder what troll put that idea in their brain.
I once bought speakers out of the back of a van because I thought that they were stolen/extra stock from a install. Turned out that they were a scam.
I always thought that my wife was naive for being so honest about everything she does. But right then I realized that she would never have fallen for that scam because she is super honest, and that I was a mark because I was willing to not be.
Luckily I learned that lesson in my early 20's. It saved me a few times since.

I think this is a sign that the republicans are starting to come apart at the seams, since there is now an alternative anti Trump faction in the GOP that recently declared itself.

Republican Arizona election official says Trump "unhinged" (yahoo.com)
Republican Arizona election official says Trump "unhinged"
PHOENIX (AP) — The Republican who now leads the Arizona county elections department targeted by a GOP audit of the 2020 election results is slamming former President Donald Trump and others in his party for their continued falsehoods about how the election was run.
Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer on Saturday called a Trump statement accusing the county of deleting an elections database “unhinged” and called on other Republicans to stop the unfounded accusations.
“We can’t indulge these insane lies any longer. As a party. As a state. As a country,” Richer tweeted.
Richer became recorder in January, after defeating the Democratic incumbent.
The former president's statement came as Republican Senate President Karen Fann has demanded the Republican-dominated Maricopa County Board of Supervisors come to the Senate to answer questions raised by the private auditors she has hired. The Senate took possession of 2.1 million ballots and election equipment last month for what was supposed to be a three-week hand recount of the presidential race won by Democratic President Joe Biden.
Instead, the auditors have moved as a snail's pace and had to shut down Thursday after counting about 500,000 ballots. They plan to resume counting in a week, after high school graduation ceremonies planned for the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix, which they rented for the recount.
Trump's statement said, in part, that “the entire Database of Maricopa County in Arizona has been DELETED! This is illegal and the Arizona State Senate, who is leading the Forensic Audit, is up in arms.”
Richer and the board say that statement is just plain wrong. In recent days, both he and the board have begun aggressively pushing back at what they see as continuing falsehoods from Republicans who question Trump's loss.
“Enough with the defamation. Enough with the unfounded allegations,” Richer tweeted Thursday. “I came to this office to competently, fairly, and lawfully administer the duties of the office. Not to be accused by own party of shredding ballots and deleting files for an election I didn’t run. Enough.”
The board, led by Republican Chairman Jack Sellers, have been aggressively using Twitter in recent days to push back, firing off a series of messages slamming the private company doing the audit. The board plans to hold a public hearing Monday to further to refute lies and lay out facts about these issues.”
“I know you all have grown weary of lies and half-truths six months after 2020 General Elections,” Sellers said Friday in announcing Monday's meeting.
Fann sent Sellers a letter on Wednesday requesting that county officials publicly answer questions at the Senate on Tuesday, but she stopped short of her threat to issue subpoenas.
Fann repeated the Senate’s demand for access to administrative passwords for vote-counting machines and internet routers. County officials say they have turned over all the passwords they have and have refused to give up the routers, saying it would compromise sensitive data, including classified law enforcement information held by the sheriff’s office.
