    I have yet to see a Parler post by Jefferson Davis Yoshou from Tallulah Fall, Georgia, expressing outrage at the election theft and subsequent plans to boycott the run off.

    Get with it!

    Oh yeah, I remember her, in July and August she was GOP's rising star of fundraising, and I believe even got a convention speech.

    It's sort of nice to know Democrats weren't the only ones wasting money on hopeless causes.

    I'm pretty sure that the Republican candidate in Ocasio-Cortez's district 1) got creamed in the election and 2) got rich via fundraising in the run up.

    Though so far, he has not had the cajones to claim that AOC rigged the election. That shows seriously small time thinking on his part!

    Good, now maybe John James can go and figure out what exactly is the source of his confusion.

    This is absolutely jaw-dropping ... even for 2020 ... phantom "candidates" being created by Repubs to pull votes away from Dems in FL

    https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/23/politics/florida-dark-money-mystery-invs/index.html
    A dark money mystery in Florida centers on the campaign of a spoiler candidate who appeared to help a Republican win by 32 votes

    A month before Election Day in Florida a mysterious company called Proclivity, Inc. contributed $550,000 to a pair of newly formed political action committees in the state.

    Two days later, the money flowed from the PACs to an Orlando-area print and advertising firm.
    Shortly thereafter, came a torrent of nearly identical political fliers seemingly intended to siphon away support from Democratic candidates by tricking voters into casting their ballots for purported spoiler candidates who demonstrated no real interest in getting elected. None, for example, engaged in typical campaigning activities or raised significant funds.
    In one case, the mailers appear to have helped a Republican—a co-founder of Latinas For Trump—unseat the Democratic incumbent in a state Senate race by a razor-thin margin of just 32 votes.


    The situation, which has been generating headlines in Florida for weeks, has all the makings of a "dark money" mystery in the Sunshine State.
    Among the key questions: What exactly is Proclivity and what was the purpose and desired effect behind its generous contributions to the two fledging PACs? And, why did those PACs support unknown candidates with no party affiliations and no real chance of winning?

    Do they genuflect for Trump? If so, they are neither Republican nor worthy of respect, regardless of their personal backgrounds.

    If not, if they are people with whom one can reason, well then yes, that's progress.

    This seems like a winning strategy:

    Did someone hack into the PAC's website to start it back up?

    Wouldn't surprise me if Stone's password was something like MAGA or Nixon2020

    Judging by his tattoo, I would suspect his password is Nixon69 or something.

    That's a huge number. It'll be interesting if they can make the GOP House caucus...rational.

    I'd say that they must be better than the GOP men, but then there's Marjorie Taylor Greene, defying that statement in a very big way.

    It would take several election cycles of them holding their seats before any of the GOP House Leaders have to pay any attention to them. So, at least not in the next two years.

    I believe the time where we could assume an added dose of rationality in female politicians is becoming a thing of the past.
