> The fact remains that the President gathered tens of thousands of people and, with a torrent of lies, weaponized them into an attack on the United States. Just because it failed doesn't make it any less grave of a crime.

I cannot fathom why you keep saying this. Please present some evidence.

If you believe Trumps claims of malfeasance are true then the burden of proof lies with you. These matters were addressed in courts throughout the nation and 60 lawsuits failed to prove them.

Not really. The vast majority were thrown out on procedural grounds.

The left completely controls the MSM at this point. It's unsurprising that large swathes of officials, including judges, are unwilling to investigate their narrative for fear of being branded and extremist of one flavor or another. The right knows this, and so doesn't trust outcomes that aren't transparent. The left knows this too, but has no incentive to correct it, in spite of the damage it's going to cause to our democracy.

I have the feeling we're about to find out in the US precisely how the left can go too far, and how Americans respond to it.

You'll be reassured to know they'll still be litigated soon.

Dominion is coming for Sidney Powell over her fabricated claims, and I hope she gets a dignified, humane arrangement with a local homeless shelter after they're done with her.[1]

I encourage everyone to read the entire filing. It's going to be a fun ride, I'm really looking forward to this case being heard in court.
