Of course, as has been the whole thing with the Dr. Biden "controversy", the question becomes would you have the same forceful reaction if the superintendent was a man?
Absolutely. I have no doubt that she's got her degree. My objection is that she's using it to try and force people to respect her. If I know you have a doctorate and act in a manner that benefits your position, I'll absolutely call you 'Doctor' out of respect, whether you ask me to or not. But if you demand that I call you that so that everyone knows you're important, forget it. It's an honorific, not a social obligation, and I'm not showing you respect to boost your ego.

And that applies regardless of reproductive hardware.

I'm going to need evidence that she's trying to force people to do anything.

Favorable news coverage calls her "Dr. Biden" because that's how she is (routinely and uncontroversially) known in her professional milieu. Unfavorable news coverage attempted a backlash against this because she's married to the Democratic winner. That's the whole story here.

The Super at my kids' previous school district would also get up in your business if you failed to call him doctor.

At one of our meetings with him to figure out why the district was not providing the required services for our second son, he said something to my wife along the lines of "Mrs {Hrdina}, you're getting too emotional". Her calm response was "That's DOCTOR {Hrdina}". I enjoyed watching him get smacked him with his own stick.

https://coloradosun.com/2020/12/22/eric-coomer-dominion-voting-system-lawsuit/
The legal action alleges Coomer, who lives in Colorado and serves as Dominion’s director of product strategy and security, has been the target of a false conspiracy that has harmed his reputation and left him facing threats. The lawsuit also accuses the defendants of intentionally inflicting emotional distress against him and seeks unspecified damages and an order barring them from continuing to spread erroneous information.

Also listed as defendants in the lawsuit are Sidney Powell, an attorney who has represented Trump, and Michelle Malkin, a conservative commentator from Colorado Springs. One America News Network and its correspondent, Chanel Rion, as well as the conservative website Gateway Pundit are also targeted by the legal action.

If it were any other country, I'd probably be getting out the popcorn. As it is - ugh.

Frustrated Trump met with Pence before holiday break
On Wednesday evening, as he was flying to Florida for his vacation, Trump retweeted a call from one of his supporters for Pence to refuse to ratify the Electoral College results on January 6 -- a prospect that has captured his imagination even if it remains completely impossible.

...

Earlier this week, Pence joined a meeting between Trump and a sizable group of House conservatives where the long-shot effort to overturn the election results in January was discussed.

The discussion focused on Trump's baseless claims and conspiracies that the election was stolen from him, participants said, and lawmakers emerged confident that there were would be a contingent of House and Senate Republicans who would join the effort and prompt a marathon debate on the floor on January 6 that would spill into January 7.

The Republican who is spearheading the effort, Alabama Rep. Mo Brooks, said Pence attended "different parts" of the meeting.
"I believe we have multiple senators, and the question is not if, but how many," Brooks said, something that would defy the wishes of Senate Republican leaders who are eager to move on and are urging senators not to participate since doing so could force them to cast a politically toxic vote against Trump.

Brooks told CNN on Monday night that they would seek to challenge the election in at least six battleground states, saying he needs to coordinate "as many as 72" five-minute speeches that GOP lawmakers would make that day.

Agolf is setting up Pence as the fall guy for the January 6 Congressional shit show. Looks like their plan is to institute a 4 year filibuster. Seems legit.

Does anyone know what the story is re: Justice Robert's shiner?
Is it a photoshop?
Is there some story that Lin Wood has heard that the shiner came from that he is holding back (just being coy) - or is this something that goes without saying because we all are supposed to understand the implications of the photo?

I believe it was related to this account.

Lin is somehow intimating that in *June* Roberts met violence for a purpose. In this case, conversion to liberalism by fists or some nonsense. Or he was told the fraud was coming and to instruct every court in the land to laugh it away. It's turtles all the way down for Woods. The bigger problem here is that the Powells, Flynns, and Woods of the world are feeding the delusions of an impulsive, evil man who has actual authority.

The math in the illustration shows the Republicans losing by a 2:1 margin. So even if this crazy theory is correct, why are they complaining? Or having a run-off?

The algorithm is stupid. If the Democrat is ahead, then surely the programmer would write the program such that it wouldn’t be used, or at least not reduce Republican votes to negative. That wouldn’t be all that hard.

So the theory as I understand it is that Dominion is switching Republican votes to Democratic votes across many precincts (presumably all?). But it takes a relatively small amount per precinct so that it's hard to notice. In heavily Democratic districts (where in a fair election you have a small but non-zero # of Republicans) the algorithm steals Republican votes, reducing them to an even lower (but still non-zero) amount.

BUT if Republicans cleverly boycott, then the algorithm will still "steal" the same number of votes (for some reason) only because Republicans didn't vote, the results will show *negative* Republican votes. Which is absurd, and which will trigger the courts and others to intervene as they realize that the election really was fraudulent all along.

QED.

Sidney Powell is likely a grifter riding her gravy train as far as she possibly can, but Lin Wood might be (at least according to reports from his former law partners) legitimately crazy.

If he truly believes the conspiracy he's peddling, he thinks the election is irrelevant because the "truth" he reveals will see all the Democrats jailed or executed anyway.

23 DAYS

Agolf Grinch finally signs the Covid19 relief bill along with a Festivas list of grievances (contradicting the budget his administration submitted) that will be routinely ignored. Meanwhile Pence has gone skiing, like a low level bureaucrat trying to use up his vacation time before he is kicked to the curb.
