    Debunked: Claim that the Electoral College Count On Jan 6 will Change the Election

    You're obligated to link it and quote the relevant section, as per metabunk site policy. My point is that you consistently fail to base your objections on evidence, your forum signature notwithstanding. I said that Trump hasn't conceded yet (that's evidence), and I extrapolated, "That reads...

    Poll Finds Many Believe QAnon And Other Conspiracy Theories

    A meeting took place at Trump Tower in New York City on June 9, 2016, between three senior members of the 2016 Trump campaign – Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort – and at least five other people, including Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya. [...] Donald Trump Jr. made...

    Poll Finds Many Believe QAnon And Other Conspiracy Theories

    Some don't know, and some are misinformed. Deirdre, you can look up most of these topics on this very site, including the evidence that shows Covid was not man-made. We discussed this here back in March and April. Every virologist who works in this field knows that Covid was not man-made.

    Debunked: Claim that the Electoral College Count On Jan 6 will Change the Election

    Let's look at the data from the Ipsos poll I presented at https://www.metabunk.org/threads/poll-finds-many-believe-qanon-and-other-conspiracy-theories.11520/ ; this poll was conducted a week after the electoral colleges had met. The "credibility interval" for the Republican responses is...

    Debunked: Claim that the Electoral College Count On Jan 6 will Change the Election

    Again, you don't bring information to the debate, just speculative doubt. Z.W.Wolf posted the video of the interview with Barbara Boxer, the senator who sponsored the 2005 objections. (You are misrepresenting her intentions when you say she wanted to "reject millions of Ohioans votes". This has...

    Debunked: Claim that the Electoral College Count On Jan 6 will Change the Election

    Deirdre, the Republicans who brought the lawsuit have the information. They're just lying about their BS guesses being fact. There's a reason they never filed their case properly before a court that would investigate these alleged facts. Gohmert and the AZ Republicans who brought the suit...

    Poll Finds Many Believe QAnon And Other Conspiracy Theories

    Ipsos have described the poll and their methodology at https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/news-polls/npr-misinformation-123020 . There's a download link to a PDF with detailed response data. I found the following items particularly interesting: Surprisingly, we're all similarly concerned about...

    Debunked: Claim that the Electoral College Count On Jan 6 will Change the Election

    Agreed with your statement; but the point is that the Republicans have not *shown* any evidence that rises to this level. Yes, and that's how you get a conspiracy theory: concerns arising from disinformation or misinformation (in the form of claims that the Trump legal team has evidence that...

    Claim: Thousands of fraudulent votes in Georgia cast by felons, dead, underage voters

    This means that the Supreme Court usually reviews decisions by lower courts; it doesn't have the power to try just any issue on its own except in rare circumstances (e.g. the SCOTUS has original jurisdiction for conflicts between states because there is no other court that would be appropriate...

    More on the Gohmert case: Bottom line is, the court is saying, ‘we’re not going to touch this, you have no remedy,’" Gohmert said. "Basically, in effect, the ruling would be that you’ve got to go to the streets and be as violent as antifa and BLM." And this: My concern is with the central...

    2020 US Election - Current Events

    Another court case, brought by Rep. Louis Gohmert (R, Texas) got thrown out today: Though there are no “competing electors—the election results in every U.S. state have been certified and the Electoral College votes for Biden have been cast—Gohmert and the other plaintiffs claimed the Electoral...

    Debunked: Claim that the Electoral College Count On Jan 6 will Change the Election

    You said that "conservatives" think the "intent is justified"; I was replying to that and referring to these people. If you're now claiming that the majority of Republicans believe that an objection to certain electoral counts on January 6th is unjustified, that's great news; do you have a...

    Debunked: Claim that the Electoral College Count On Jan 6 will Change the Election

    Nobody said "evil". "Checks and balances" are the judicial system, it's been employed, but even after these checks we're still waiting for a concession speech from Trump. That reads like the Republicans do not respect these checks. The "funky issues in a few states", what are they? Do they...

    What does "Off-World" mean to the US Military?

    Well, then compare it to military spending! The Senate Intelligence Committee, chaired by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), said in the comment that it “directs the [director of national intelligence], in consultation with the Secretary of Defense and the heads of such other agencies … to submit a...

    Debunked: Claim that the Electoral College Count On Jan 6 will Change the Election

    It is so bad now because the objection is not based on reality. The "concerns" are a conspiracy theory. No Republican has had their vote suppressed this year. There was no vote counted (with few exceptions, I hear there's a Republican who cast a second ballot in the name of his dead mother!)...

    What does "Off-World" mean to the US Military?

    I don't believe it either. Got a comparison of the cost of that to the other sources of the national deficit?
