    I am likely doing better personally and professionally, but am certainly upset at the lose of democracy being replaced with an international corporate-fascist plutocracy, then end of freedom speech and the now intense news censorship.

    You are upset at the "lose"??? The end of "freedom speech"? There are excellent English courses out there.

    How you are doing personally and professionally is of no interest to me, but your attempt to make it sound as if you are doing better than I is.... humorous. Amazing how Conservatives always get personal, especially when their "arguments" are not really arguments at all, but rather, screeds that assume facts not in evidence.

    Actually they're not "fake". They're alternatives. Hawaii did the same exact thing for Kennedy and there were irregularities going on. They're there in case something is found to have affected the results that shouldn't have. This is not something new. And it is completely legal.

    Also there's a total of 7 states that have done this, not just Arizona. And guess what....4 of them are the same ones that were in Texas's lawsuit.

    They're not impersonating. They ARE electors. Alternative electors. Hawaii did the same thing for Kennedy.

    That is why they won't be charged. Its a lot easier for the MSM to lie about them when there isn't a police report confirming that they are actually electors.

    If they weren't electors, the media would be calling for their heads on pikes. Since it isn't, we know its being deceptive and doesn't want to illicit further scrutiny into the matter.

    Yes, they're (MSM) one of the reasons that so many are so distrusting of the election results.

    :rolleyes: The point is that they're not "fake". The article in the OP lied to its readers. Nothing to say about that?

    If alternate electors try to vote, with out being called upon, than that is a election fraud attempt.

    When they created a fake document that was delivered with the intent of subverting the real document, I would consider that fraud and should be prosecutable.

    They were fake the moment they decided to usurp the role. The document was fake. The result for Trump was fake. There was nothing honest or above-board about what this group did. It. Was. Fraud.

    What censorship?

    This thread was not started to censor the WSJ or Mr. Epstein, the author of the piece. Villify them, yes. But censoring? Nope. They are free to publish more morally bankrupt, rude, nasty, sexist garbage like this. And I'm free to express my opinions about it.

    If that's the case then arrest them, or report them to the appropriate LEO's...because they certainly aren't going to be arrested without your testimony. :roflol:

    For some reason I tend to write lose rather than loss. Even had that on one page of a huge website collection for the company. I bet I got a thousand grammar Nazi emails on it. I had it fixed, but grammar Nazi messages that are usually typos are worthless messages.

    Grammar Nazis ALWAYS screw up in their grammar Nazi messages on forums. Do you care to discuss your punctuation usage in the sentence I underlined?

    Nazi comparisons normally rub me the wrong way, but ever since Miller got caught promoting white nationalist literature . . .

    The core of the problem is that they don't know they're working on behalf of a would-be dictator.

    And if that event is the re-inauguration of Donald Trump it never ever will, for which paeans of praise ascend to Heaven. It's not really even potential, and never was

    I'm convinced that it's an emotional response. There doesn't seem to be any other explanation for otherwise reasonably intelligent people to ignore logic and reason.

    The usage is correct. "Rather" is a separator word and not used like "and".
    You do know this, right?
