I feel this comment in my bones.

And where was the pushback from the other reporters in the room?

Is there a valid reason to think that Hegseth won’t pull a TACO?

Giunta going with the Shaggy defense

“While I take complete responsibility, I have had no way of verifying their accuracy and am deeply concerned that the message logs in question may have been deceptively doctored.”

All this from someone who doesn’t even go to church.

And local PD working with ICE further turns the local immigrant population against reporting crimes, leading to even more crimes.

More important than the last time he claimed he brought peace there?

> Companies were diversifying supply chains and bringing production to the United States

Yet no proof of the supposed $17 trillion investment in the economy.

The case in Rockland County has nothing to do with Harris. It was filed on behalf of Diane Sare, a Senate candidate who got 0.2% of the vote.

Self-serving, Kelly will gladly follow whichever populist opinion helps her retain her audience and her paycheck.

Hugh Lander @quispme.bsky.social · 1d

Trump won the majority of counties that used Dominion systems even before this guy bought it.

And Harris can’t just demand a recount without evidence.

There is no evidence of fraud.

Hugh Lander @quispme.bsky.social · 1d

In what county did Harris get close to zero votes yet the down ballot Dems performed well?

I’m guessing you’re thinking of Rockland County in NY but you’re confused about the claims there.

Harris got 65,000 votes there. Gillebrand got 72,000.

Hugh Lander @quispme.bsky.social · 1d

Harris isn’t even a party to the lawsuit in Rockland County and the claims made about her performance in the county show a deep misunderstanding of the electorate there.

In short it’s a nothingburger.

Hugh Lander @quispme.bsky.social · 1d

Yes, Diane Sare the fringe candidate.

It’s all Miller’s plan. Terrorize them and get them to self deport.

“Mass persecution” oh good lord

The Senate candidate who the suit was filed on behalf of has asked for a recount of both the Senate and Presidential races but there’s a chance the judge could say no to the Presidential recount as it isn’t relevant to the suit.

Hugh Lander @quispme.bsky.social · 3d

Rockland County has not been ordered to do a hand recount. The case is pending a motion to dismiss.

Hugh Lander @quispme.bsky.social · 3d

The case is likely to be dismissed and since Harris isn’t even a party to the suit, I’m unsure why it would affect the midterms.

The case was filed on behalf of a fringe Senate candidate who got 0.2% of the vote.

I don’t know how it would be illegal.

As long as the rabbi isn’t directing people’s vote from the pulpit it isn’t a violation of tax law.

Hugh Lander @quispme.bsky.social · 3d

Oh I’m quite familiar with the crux of the suit. I was just answering that user’s questions

Hugh Lander @quispme.bsky.social · 3d

The rabbis direct their congregations on how to vote. It’s been happening for years.

Here’s a sold explanation of the strategy.
