U.S. Elections are Gaslighting You
PLUS: ADDITIONAL NEWS WHILE YOU WAIT FOR THE ELECTION TO BE OVER - #MeToo Creep Receives Justice | Dead Man Reelected | Musk's Latest Twitter Change | Bidenflation Blues
Conducting an election takes weeks or even months.
Who in 2015 saw that statement becoming one of the most significant examples of gaslighting ever?
Here we are in 2022 strumming our fingers on the table, waiting for results from Arizona, Nevada, and other spectacularly incompetent (or corrupt) places.
You have to wonder why U.S. elections suddenly became a global joke.
This is embarrassing for the alleged leader of “democracy.”
Remember when Donald Trump won in 2016, and we knew all the results around the country by midnight?
Oh, how times have changed.
No, you gaslit zombies, this is not normal. It started two years ago - when Brett Baier said on election night in 2020, “Welp, that’s it for now. Good night!” That’s when the gaslighting began.
Amazing how many people seem okay with all this.
One person who is not okay with all this is Kari Lake. Last night she said this on Tucker Carlson: “Well I feel 100% certain I am going to win. The question is how big will that win be? Can you believe this, Tucker? We still have 650,000 votes that have not been counted. And guess who these voters are? They’re the people who showed up on election day. They’re the people, 275,000 of them are people who brought their ballot to polls on election day because they don’t trust the mail and they don’t trust the drop boxes. So, guess who those voters are? They’re our voters. And we’re only down by a few thousand votes right now. When those votes come in, we’re going to see a lot of liberal minds kind of blowing up.”

The Lake campaign is preparing to file a lawsuit.
“The Lake campaign has made clear it is prepared to pursue legal action over the election, potentially over the counting of ballots and the observation of that process, according to sources familiar with the matter. A member of Lake’s legal team who requested anonymity tells TIME that “a subject matter of a lawsuit” could be “the counting of the ballots and the monitoring of the counting.” They wouldn’t say whether any specific suits were planned as of yet,” TIME reported, adding: “Such an action could ultimately focus on the final batch of ballots—roughly 275,000 mail ballots that were delivered in person on Election Day—that will be counted on Thursday and published later that evening.” (SOURCE)

Paul Haggis - a Canadian screenwriter and director credited with writing scripts for such movies as Quantum of Solace, Crash, and Million Dollar Baby - was found guilty of rape and sexual assault by a New York jury. The plaintiff Haleigh Breest will receive $7.5 million in compensation. (That seems like a low amount when compared to Alex Jones - who didn’t physically touch anyone.)
“I am grateful that I had the opportunity to seek justice and accountability in court — and that the jury chose to follow the facts — and believed me,” Breest said in a statement after the decision. “The greatest source of comfort through this five year legal journey has been the support I felt from the women who bravely shared their own stories and let me know I wasn’t alone.”
During closing arguments on Wednesday, Haggis’ attorney Priya Chaudhry tried to combat Breest’s claims by suggesting she’s after revenge and money.
“This trial is not about justice for her. This is a blatant cash grab,” she said. “This lawsuit has utterly destroyed [Haggis’ career], but to Haleigh, this case is about money. It’s a payday.”
But in Breest’s testimony, she says only filed the lawsuit after she saw Haggis condemned Harvey Weinstein in the press after the producer was accused of sexual assault in 2017. “I want Paul Haggis to be held accountable that what he did to me was wrong,” Breest testified last month. (SOURCE)
HEADS UP: Haggis is still working in Hollywood. According to his IMDB profile, he has two screenplays in pre-production.
You might want to skip those flicks. Just a thought.
~ Pennsylvania Voters Reelect Dead Man
You read that correctly.
Democrat Anthony “Tony” DeLuca died last October 9 from cancer at age 85. He was a state representative who became nationally recognized for supporting Donald Trump’s White House race in 2016.
Pennsylvania allows early voting up to 50 days before Election Day, which means it can legally start in September, though precise dates and rules vary by county.
According to state election authorities, DeLuca crushed his Green Party opponent by a margin of about 86% to 14%, though the Green Party candidate appeared to be alive. (SOURCE)
~ Musk’s First Twitter Move (With the Employees Still There)
Elon Musk is a busy man these days - firing Twitter Executives, laying off half the staff, and searching for new ways to monetize (do you have your $8 gray checkmark yet?)
Late Wednesday - Twitter employees who made the cut received their first direct email from Musk - where he told his staff to brace themselves for “difficult times ahead.”
But that’s not all: Musk banned remote work (unless he personally approves it.)
Musk said there was “no way to sugarcoat the message” about the economic outlook and how it will affect an advertising-dependent company like Twitter, according to the email reviewed by Bloomberg News. The new rules, which kick in immediately, will expect employees to be in the office for at least 40 hours per week, he added. (SOURCE)
~ How’s that “temporary” inflation coming along, Joe?
“What I can’t do is I can’t guarantee that we’re going to be able to get rid of inflation, but I do think we can. It will take time to get inflation back to normal levels – and we could see setbacks along the way – but we will keep at it and help families with the cost of living.” - Joe Biden said yesterday (source).
Food prices at home rose 0.4 percent in October, which is lower than the 0.7 rate in August and September but still rising.
Biden proposed as a solution more government programs to help pay for monthly costs experienced by Americans and said it would take time before his existing proposals to deal with inflation started to kick in.
“We’re driving down all of those costs,” he said. “And we’ve already passed the legislation to do that; it’s just taking effect.”
Whatever you say, JB.
