The case was dismissed in April, but now a federal judge is considering disciplining the lawyers for filing a frivolous claim — sharply questioning the duo in a Friday hearing about whether they had allowed themselves to be used as “a propaganda tool” of former president Donald Trump. “Did that ever occur to you? That, possibly, [you’re] just repeating stuff the president is lying about?” Federal Magistrate Judge N. Reid Neureiter asked the two lawyers, Gary D. Fielder and Ernest John Walker, during a hearing to consider sanctioning them. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/sanctions-hearing-2020-lawsuit/2021/07/16/90392266-e661-11eb-b722-89ea0dde7771_story.html

That's far too kind of a description of Lindell.

But not necessarily inaccurate. Seems the GOPers attention span may last no longer than a Fox "News", Newsmax or OAN broadcast segment since the sociopath is now banned on Twitter. 😁 They get their talking points from those media outlets. To the extent the MAGA Republicans are such snowflakes, perhaps you're correct and I should more carefully consider their delicate sensibilities. Afterall, they are apparently the biggest victims in American history, the likes of which we've never seen before.

Any HoyaTalk Republicans able to explain why you belong to this cult/party led by a malignant and corrupt sociopath? President Trump pressed senior Justice Department officials in late 2020 to declare the election corrupt even as those officials pushed back, warning the president that many of the claims he was hearing about voter fraud were false, according to notes taken by an aide who participated in the discussions. The president replied that he understood that, but wanted the agency to “just say the election was corrupt + leave the rest to me and the R. Congressmen,” according to notes of the conversation taken by another senior Justice Department official, Richard Donoghue. www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/trump-rosen-phone-call-notes/2021/07/30/2e9430d6-f14d-11eb-81d2-ffae0f931b8f_story.html

Eff everything else, including democracy.

Eff everything else, including democracy. Self-cancel culture. Especially ironic is that one of our stalwart HT GOPers is a lawyer - but does he believe in the rule of law?? Ha ha ha. 😁 Or is it like being "pro-life" yet belonging to the death cult party? 🤔 Or purporting to be the party of "law and order" yet belonging to the cult that doesn't want to investigate the 1/6 insurrection where 140 LEOs were injured. 🤔 Hypocrites like their fellow cultists.

The practical reality is that if you're still a "Republican," you're supporting subversion of democracy and racism. You're supporting thwarting of the "American dream" which has, for decades, become less and less possible for most because of "Republican" policies and the exacerbation of wealth inequality. You can mask it with whatever rationalization you like such as "pro-life," or, "fiscal conservativism," but we all know that's horse crap. Yourselves included if you have an IQ north of 60. You're scared about no longer being the majority. And your disregard for your professed "values" is and has been glaring. If you get called stupid or a racist for being a Trump Republican, you've earned it. You continue to support the subversion of democracy. You've earned the labels because you continue to support them. Grow a pair and own it. Here on this board, not a one of has done so. You've just become very quiet and, at best, you take very weak shots at the current president that ring as entirely hollow because you were entirely silent while the guy that you, tacitly, supported, did his level best to dismantle every facet of our democracy. You're the biggest snowflakes in the history of snowflakes. And, if you're not ashamed, you need to buy a bunch of mirrors. Enjoy your tax cuts, hypocrites.
This thread is veering into Rule 3 of the message board rules, which states that participants should not be "posting repetitive messages with the intent of eliciting negative responses." Calling Georgetown alumni and guests of this board "racists" with "an IQ north of 60" (aka mental retardation) is tantamount to name calling without anything in the way of dialogue. If you cannot elicit dialogue with those you disagree, move to another thread, but yelling at no one in particular is an exercise in futility.--Admin

A former Republican correctly calling out the GOP for what it is. Anything inaccurate about this characterization? I've asked for months for any substantive rebuttal of Stevens's characterization of his former party, now cult. Yet no takers. Is this a violation of Rule 3? It's going to be a racial grievance campaign unlike we have ever seen on the national stage. I think it is going to be the ugliest campaign we've ever seen, by a desperate man. So Donald Trump is behind now and he's talking about suspending the elections. Think about a week out if he's behind: If I was a Canadian minister of defense, I'd be worried he's going to invade Ottawa. This is an unstable man who is headed to potentially a historic defeat. And I think he's going to wave the bloody shirt and try to scare white voters, and I think they're going to do everything they can to suppress nonwhite votes. Legal, illegal, quasi-legal. That's what they're going to try to do because they think that's the only way they can win. www.npr.org/2020/08/11/901274491/veteran-gop-strategist-takes-on-trump-and-his-party-in-it-was-all-a-lie“A lot of us in the party liked to believe the dark side was a recessive gene, but it’s a dominant theme,” Stevens, a seventh-generation Mississippian who was named for Confederate Gen. Jeb Stuart, told me. “And it’s all about race. The Republican Party is a white party and there still are more white people than non-white people.” So that is whom the party aims at—even if this will eventually be a losing proposition as the nation’s demographics continue to shift. Ronald Reagan achieved a landslide victory in 1980 by bagging 56 percent of white voters; 28 years later, John McCain lost with 55 percent of white voters. Perhaps the party’s fixation on white voters can work one more time with Trump in 2020. “But we’re talking about the Confederacy—literally,” Stevens said. www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/08/racism-republican-party-stuart-stevens/

With no action from the mods. I know one good way to stop being called a racist. Exactly this. If different people kept telling me that what I am saying or thinking is racist, instead of stomping my feet like a petulant child and saying “those mean people keep calling me racist”, I would probably take a moment to reflect on why they would be saying it. But, of course, that takes the willingness and ability to be introspective. It’s just easier to blame other people.

But, of course, that takes the willingness and ability to be introspective. It’s just easier to blame other people. Agree completely. If you're continuing to support a "party" whose main objective is further marginalizing minority communities with its ultimate goal being denying them the right to vote or disqualifying their votes, get very much used to be being called a racist. It's not name calling. It's an accurate description. The fault isn't with others pointing it out. The fault is with you supporting the agenda. Couple that with the stated reasons you support your "party" becoming more farcical by the day. For people like Ed, it's abortion. If you still buy that they wouldn't abandon that entirely if they thought it would enhance their electability, you've not been paying any attention at all for at least 40 years.
