In her Paris Review interview, Dorothy Parker described Fitzgerald’s bleak last days: “It was terrible about Scott; if you’d seen him you’d have been sick. When he died no one went to the funeral, not a single soul came, or even sent a flower. I said, ‘Poor son of a bitch,’ a quote right out of The Great Gatsby, and everyone thought it was another wisecrack. But it was said in dead seriousness.”
Republican Review of Arizona Vote Fails to Show Stolen Election
The much criticized review showed much the same results as in November, with 99 more Biden votes and 261 fewer Trump ones.
PHOENIX — After months of delays and blistering criticism, a review of the 2020 election in Arizona’s largest county, ordered up and financed by Republicans, has failed to show that former President Donald J. Trump was cheated of victory, according to draft versions of the report.
In fact, the draft report from the company Cyber Ninjas found just the opposite: It tallied 99 additional votes for President Biden and 261 fewer votes for Mr. Trump in Maricopa County, the fast-growing region that includes Phoenix.[…]
MSNBC was reporting this morning that the disgraceful ex president Dumbass is pressing the despicable current governor of Texas to do an audit of the Texas 2020 presidential electoral results. Huh? He won Texas. I think this not drinking thing may be accelerating his dementia.
And CNN is reporting that Greg (lapdog) is ordering that audit.
[…]
On Thursday night, apparently unaware of the findings of the draft report, the former president said in a statement, “Everybody will be watching Arizona tomorrow to see what the highly respected auditors and Arizona State Senate found out regarding the so-called Election!”
[…]
Sturg, yep. It’s some sort of setup for 2024. It’s so inscrutable it completely escapes me – unless he and his “team” see TX slipping toward a Dem win in either 2022 or 2024 and wants to cast doubt on it in advance.
Pfizer booster now available to older Americans and those at higher-risk, including on the job, as CDC chief partly overrules panel
In a rare move, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky late Thursday overruled her agency’s advisory panel and added a recommendation for boosters for people whose jobs put them at risk.
The advisory panel had made a recommendation that largely mirrored an authorization issued a day earlier by the Food and Drug Administration, with a call for a third shot of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for people 65 and older, nursing home residents and people 50 to 64 with underlying medical conditions six months after completing their second shot.
[…]
The three-volume report by the Cyber Ninjas, the Senate’s lead contractor, includes results that show Trump lost by a wider margin than the county’s official election results. The data in the report also confirms that U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly won in the county.
The official results are set to be presented to the Senate at 1 p.m. Friday. Several versions of the draft report, titled “Maricopa County Forensic Audit” by Cyber Ninjas, circulated prematurely on Wednesday and Thursday. Multiple versions were obtained by The Arizona Republic.
[…]
The draft reports reviewed by The Republic minimize the ballot counts and election results and instead focus on issues that raise questions about the election process and voter integrity.
Election analysts say those findings are misleading and built on faulty data.
The draft report shows there was less than a 1,000-vote difference between the county’s certified ballot count and the Cyber Ninjas’ hand count.
The hand count shows Trump received 45,469 fewer votes than Biden. The county results showed he lost by 45,109.
The draft audit report says, however, the election results are inconclusive.
[…]
The draft report comes in three parts adding up to about 110 pages. It includes recommended changes to state elections law and suggestions for how the county should correct certain election processes, including how to keep voter information updated, ballot handling and voting machine security.

“There was some whole nother evil purpose for those bozos having control of all that material for so long. It wasn’t vote counting, so what was it?”
sturge, to get their dirty hands on the machines and inner-machinations perhaps? one of the reasons some states are having to replace machines so tainted by unauthorized touch.
also could be easy way to copy voter info in order to hone their misinformation messages for next campaign.
POLITICO Playbook: Scoop: Fox to Rudy: You’re banned – POLITICO RUDY GETS THE GONG — RUDY GIULIANI has been banned from Fox News for almost three months. As if the sting of that weren’t painful enough, the “9/11 mayor” learned of his banishment … on the eve of Sept. 11. Giuliani was slated to appear on “Fox & Friends” to mark the 20th anniversary of the attack. But the night before, host PETE HEGSETH called Giuliani to say he’d been cut from the show and apologize. The ban extends not just to GIULIANI, but also to his son ANDREW, who has not been on Fox News since he launched his campaign for governor of New York in May despite many requests to go on the network. His team has been frustrated that rival GOP gubernatorial candidate Rep. LEE ZELDIN is a frequent guest. But bookers have told both Giulianis the ban comes from the top, sources said. The former New York City mayor had been a fixture on the network. “Rudy is really hurt because he did a big favor for RUPERT [MURDOCH],” a source close to Giuliani said. “He was instrumental in getting Fox on Time Warner so it could be watched in New York City.” In 1996, Giuliani’s administration advocated for Time Warner to carry the newly launched Fox News Channel, intervening in a dispute between Murdoch and the cable provider. Dominion Voting Systems has separately sued Giuliani and Fox News for allegedly defaming the company with false election claims — in the case of Fox, for allowing guests like Giuliani to make the claims on its network.… Read more »
And that has long been the challenge in grappling with the meaning of Trump, hasn’t it? Peril or farce? The more I’ve struggled with this, the more it seems to me that that’s a false choice.
I just keep wondering how it must feel to be the ultimate loser, who lost a national election by seven million votes, has lost every recount and now lost a “recount” conducted by cult members determined to prove he won. There are some who say the idiot lost by winning the election to become president because that exposed his dirty life to everyone. What a loser.
2016 was a mix of fooling some of the people all of the time and some of the people some of the time (he never got to the all of the people some of the time crowd – missed that by over 50%.) He’s down to the some of the people all of the time group.
change the cliff sign to say “Jan 6” or “SCOTUS nominations” or “voting rights” and ‘toon still applies
So what nefarious crap were those Arizona cyber ninja butt-faces doing with all the material for all that time? Inquiring mimes.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAH‼️‼️😎

They’re up to something besides re-counting votes.
And from WaPo’s coverage of the AZ audit…
Moron.
Sturg, yep. It’s some sort of setup for 2024. It’s so inscrutable it completely escapes me – unless he and his “team” see TX slipping toward a Dem win in either 2022 or 2024 and wants to cast doubt on it in advance.
And Wapo on the vaccine front…
Good for her.
Seems to be a concerted effort to find out WHO voted HOW. (See Pennsylvania)
Now why would they want that?
The ballot is becoming “not secret”.
There was some whole nother evil purpose for those bozos having control of all that material for so long. It wasn’t vote counting, so what was it?
local rag’s take:
