The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Honestly, this news is a head scratcher. I honestly thought this was already known. If I recall correctly, the existence of this documentary crew became known either after some of the crazy legal motions started getting filed in the various states or DEFINITELY after the actual January 6 riot. I recall that because they also had footage of Roger Stone meeting with Proud Boys leaders in a street somewhere where Stone made similar comments that basically echoed the Steve Bannon modus operandi.... "Flood the zone with ______" and use up all available oxygen trying to refute an ever expanding cloud of lies so that no reality can be discussed. Filing bogus claims with state legislatures certainly fits that goal. To morons who know nothing about election processing, the paperwork looks official and "by the book" and having it appear in five states would certainly look sinister to someone already equipped with a 2-ton tin foil helmet ready to believe in stories of fraud.

If it helps Jack Smith or Fani Willis further prove

a) an understanding of an actual LOSS in the election
b) conscious intent to IGNORE that truth and subvert multiple state elections before a single state closed its polls

then I suppose it's welcome.

At a larger level, Roger Stone is a seriously warped, vile human. He literally has a room in his house that looks like a shrine to Richard Nixon, with campaign paraphernalia from both 1968 and 1972. Think I'm joking? See this:

If you believe in reincarnation, you'd have to believe Roger Stone as the Devil in Sympathy for the Devil. In a prior life, he had to be there in 1933 at the Reichstag with gallons of petrol, gleefully ushering in the era of Hitler, in full agreement with everything to come.

WTH
