Re: 2020 Election Thread
You just know that every minor verbal gaffe Biden commits will turn into a whole day of "Biden dementia??" chyrons on Fox. The real fear mongering being the idea that Biden is just a shadow President and that the evil (black female socialist communist) Kamala Harris is the real President.
Re: 2020 Election Thread
Oh, and don't forget that there will be constant yelling about Hunter Biden and calls to investigate, prosecute, and/or lock him up.
Re: 2020 Election Thread
All that goes without saying. FOX News today did a major purge. They are axing all the real journalists and going with all right wing opinion as their model.

Today is a good day.
And now that he is sworn in, we can start holding him accountable for his failings/shortcomings. There will be many, just like every president. Let's just hope his shortcomings are not huge impediments to the success of our country.

Germany dealing with some of the same issues in their own way.
Germany Expected To Put Right-Wing AfD Under Surveillance For Violating Constitution
The agency has wrapped up a two-year investigation into the Alternative for Germany, the country's largest right-wing opposition party, and is expected to announce soon that it will place the entire party under surveillance for posing a threat to Germany's political system and violating the constitution. The unprecedented move would mean that all AfD lawmakers, including several dozen in Germany's parliament, would be put under state surveillance.
Amann said the agency has identified instances of AfD politicians denigrating Muslim migrants to Germany. "They were all treated as potential terrorists," she said. "They were dehumanized in the speeches. They were compared to animals. The [agency] report made it quite clear that these people had crossed a line."
Some AfD politicians have also trivialized Germany's Nazi past. Speaking at an AfD event in 2017, the leader of the Flügel wing, Bjorn Höcke, called the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin a "monument of shame."
If you look at how the AfD has been behaving for some time now, it's clear it's acting against our democracy and our constitution," said Social Democrat parliamentarian Thomas Hitschler, a member of the parliamentary committee that reviews Germany's intelligence agencies.
But AfD politician Georg Pazderski claims the process is political. The agency is run by Chancellor Angela Merkel's government, staffed with members of her own conservative Christian Democratic Union party. Pazderski said the CDU is worried about how fast the AfD has become a presence in Germany's parliament; the party now has 88 members of 709 in the Bundestag, more than 12% representation.
"If you have an opposition party which is very successful within a very short time, we become a danger for the ruling parties," Pazderski said, "especially for the conservative CDU. And this is a reason why they are trying to stigmatize us and to really put us in the Nazi corner and also to spread strong rumors."

Texas man charged for alleged role in Capitol riots, online death threats to Ocasio-Cortez
https://thehill.com/regulation/court-ba ... line-death
"I am about to drive across the country for this trump s---," Miller wrote in a Jan. 2 post, according to the complaint. "Some crazy s--- going to happen this week. Dollar might collapse ... civil war could start ... not sure what to do in DC."
In the hours following the riot, Miller allegedly replied to a tweet from Ocasio-Cortez that read, “Impeach,” indicating the congresswoman’s support to impeach former President Trump for his involvement in provoking the riot.
The criminal complaint noted that in response, Miller wrote “we acted with honor and we where [sic] not armed,” and then, in an additional reply, added, “Assassinate AOC.”
Miller on social media also vocalized his anger with the fatal shooting of one of the rioters, Ashli Babbitt. According to the criminal complaint, Miller threatened to find the Capitol Police officer who shot Babbitt and “hug his neck with a nice rope.”
Days later, Miller allegedly wrote in a Facebook post that the officer was “not going to survive long,” and that he “deserve to die,” adding that it was “huntin season.”
As of Saturday, the Justice Department has already charged more than 135 individuals for committing crimes on or around the grounds of the Capitol, with more charges expected in the coming weeks and months.

Re: 2020 Election Thread
And another one
https://www.yahoo.com/news/dominion-vot ... 15010.htmlA U.S. voting machine company filed a $1.3 billion lawsuit against former President Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani, accusing him of defamation in what it called his "big lie" campaign about widespread fraud in the presidential election, court documents on Monday showed.
The Denver-based company, Dominion Voting Systems Inc, filed an earlier lawsuit against Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell, whom the company also accused of spreading false conspiracy theories about the election that Trump lost to Democrat Joe Biden.
