Video: In Taped Testimony, Numerous Former Officials Say They Told Trump He Lost the Election Fairly

PoliticsJuly 2022 • Views: 17,769

Rep. Stephanie Murphy, D-Fla., spoke on July 12 as the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack presented its findings to the public. The focus of the hearing was on extremist far-right groups like the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers and the role they played in the Capitol insurrection.

She laid out a series of facts that pointed to the people who told former President Donald Trump he had lost the election fair and square. Taped testimony of former press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, Trump’s daughter and advisor Ivanka Trump, and Pat Cipollone, former White House counsel, backed up these claims.

“Did I believe he should concede the election, at a point in time? Yes I did,” Cipollone said. “I believe [Republican] Leader [Mitch] McConnell went onto the floor of the Senate, I believe, in mid-December, and basically said the process is done. That would be in line with my thinking on these things.”
Murphy also played clips of former Attorney General Bill Barr, as well as former aide Cassidy Hutchinson, both of whom said they had told Trump the election was called and that it was time to move on.

In the year since its creation, the committee has conducted more than 1,000 interviews, seeking critical information and documents from people witness to, or involved in, the violence that day.

Did someone earlier post about Bloomberg’s article on electric vehicles? I think I saw something like that.

Anyway, one thing that lept out at me in the following list is that Norway has the highest adoption rates for EVs. It is also a sizable petroleum exporter. Who would have thunk?

If the US follows the trend established by 18 countries that came before it, 25% of new car sales could be electric by the end of 2025, according to a Bloomberg analysis of adoption rates around the world.

That would be a year or two ahead of most major forecasts pic.twitter.com/rxzMDHpzrd

It’s for Korea:

“…BMW has gone all-in on feature subscriptions in South Korea. Available for purchase through an online digital hub called BMW ConnectedDrive Store, customers in South Korea will have to pay extra for even the simplest of features. Take heated seats: Customers can pay the equivalent of $18 a month, $176 for a year, $283 for 3 years, or $406 for permanent access. If you want a heated steering wheel, that’ll be extra: roughly $10 a month, $161 for three years, or $222 for unlimited. Permanent access to Apple CarPlay will cost South Korean customers just over $304, while enhanced engine sounds played through the stereo will be $137. Even driver safety assistance features will cost our friends in South Korea: High-beam-assist headlights, which automatically brighten or dim the headlights depending on traffic, will cost $8 a month, $84 for a year, $122 for three years or $183 for unlimited use.”

CNN just broadcast a clip of Sidney Powell’s testimony:

Pat Cipollone: You can name her whatever you want to name her and no one is going to pay any attention to it.

Trump response to Powell: You see what I deal with, I deal with this all the time.

This exchange is absolutely terrifying; it appears that the only reason the Trump administration was not even more catastrophic was that officials seem to have routinely ignored Trump’s demands. “Anonymous” basically suggested that in his original 2018 editorial but his book a year later warned that those controls were no longer in place. It does seem that a few restraints were still there but if Trump ever returned to office, our nation is doomed. Unfortunately the “more” competent Republicans eager to take his place are just as devoted to the destruction of our democracy. We are facing a nightmare as long as the modern GOP remains in existence.

If the GOP takes over, we’re finished. But I recall feeling this way when Japan was eating our lunch, its stock market exploding, and then it came crashing down to earth. We may still manage to overcome our deficits; after all, as Winston Churchill famously (but never) said: “You can depend upon the Americans to do the right thing. But only after they have exhausted every other possibility.”

The writer of the blog Atheist Revolution (Jack Vance) seems to have stolen an idea from one the members here: Picketing churches which preach hate.

medium.com (Goes to Medium)

He weighs the pros and cons of picketing churches like Stedfast Baptist, which calls for executing LGBT+ people.

One of the cons is atheists who fear violent Christians. Earlier this year he recounted giving money to the Freedom from Religion Foundation, and they put him on their postal mailing list. He tried to get them to stop mailing him physical mail. One mailing was misdirected to another home, and he was outed. Then the death threats started rolling in, forcing him to move away to protect his family.

So he’s concerned about churches preaching hate, but is also concerned about the blowback if you try to picket them.

It took the entire life of our star for that light to make it the other third of the way.

“Senior Justice Department officials say that has slowed their investigation.

Going back to even Watergate and Iran Contra, Congress and DOJ don’t always see eye to eye on how to handle criminal cases involving elected officials like the POTUS and his staffers.

This case is far more complex than Watergate and Iran Contra combined - and multiply that several times over. DOJ may want to keep some of the evidence close to them because they think it benefits their cases, while Congress has a political need to expose GOP crime spree.

DOJ needs to ramp up the prosecutions against members of Trumpworld and Congressional GOP. Justice delayed is justice denied.

re: #8 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus

Did someone earlier post about Bloomberg’s article on electric vehicles? I think I saw something like that.

Anyway, one thing that lept out at me in the following list is that Norway has the highest adoption rates for EVs. It is also a sizable petroleum exporter. Who would have thunk?

I’ve been driving a Bolt EV for nearly five years now. Even with the recall issues (which Chevy is making right), it is literally the only car I’ve ever enjoyed driving in nearly four decades of having a license.

It’s still a bit of a privilege thing to a degree; IMO, you need to be able to have access to a home charger 24/7 to really see the benefits, although I don’t think that’s a deal breaker. That said, the savings of gas vs. electric and the overall lack of emissions when driving are huge.

I’m glad to see this news, but in my experience, I still get people who easily could switch to an EV pulling the most ridiculous reasons out of their asses to not do it. It’s usually along the lines of even though their daily milage is like 50 miles tops, there’s the family vacation where they drive to Argentina three times a week that prevents them from switching.

That’s a good thing indeed. Consensus among Czech economists is that the Euro will likely bottom out at 1€ = $0.90 USD.

I seem to recall it getting down to about 88 cents on the dollar before working its way back up to nearly $1.60 in 2008

Not too technically difficult or too expensive to implement, but literally impossible by information theory and the laws of physics. Anything that touches the Russian government is probably a lie.

I seem to recall it getting down to about 88 cents on the dollar before working its way back up to nearly $1.40 in the early 2000’s

I can’t remember what it was when I first came here to Czech Republic (June of 2001). I do, however, remember that $1 USD = 39 Kč, which meant the whole country was like a vast bargain basement sale. Hell, even a pack of cigarettes were less than $1 back then (about 75 cents at the rate of exchange) and a half-liter glass of beer was about a quarter.

Family went to Japan to see in-laws for first time in many years due to fears of MIL’s failing health. It was very helpful that the dollar is so strong against the yen (sounds like a Bob Seger parody song). Anyway, one BIL has had some issues that forced him to quit work before retirement and to move in with her, so she is basically going to hand over the house there to him when she dies. She gave some money to wife but that caused a reverse conundrum. So she’s just going to bring it home and wait for the yen to strengthen someday (hopefully). It’s well below the threshold for reporting requirements on customs forms.

re: #33 Anymouse 🌹🏡😷

The writer of the blog Atheist Revolution (Jack Vance) seems to have stolen an idea from one the members here: Picketing churches which preach hate.

medium.com (Goes to Medium)

He weighs the pros and cons of picketing churches like Stedfast Baptist, which calls for executing LGBT+ people.

One of the cons is atheists who fear violent Christians. Earlier this year he recounted giving money to the Freedom from Religion Foundation, and they put him on their postal mailing list. He tried to get them to stop mailing him physical mail. One mailing was misdirected to another home, and he was outed. Then the death threats started rolling in, forcing him to move away to protect his family.

So he’s concerned about churches preaching hate, but is also concerned about the blowback if you try to picket them.

This was less of a problem in California, where I picketed most recently, but every single time I go out to protest now, I am acutely aware that people are armed and concealed carrying. Which is one reason why I wear a GoPro camera. Oh, and I have my holographic will in a zippered pocket of my purse. I know this sounds morbid, but when it comes to churches, people take this stuff very seriously and I have to take into consideration that I might get shot or worse (run over? why yes).

Actually exercising your First Amendment rights is not for the faint of heart.

ETA: Faithful Word Baptist, the parent of Stedfast Baptist, is very near to where I used to office before the pandemic. I would never protest there because (a) those people are MEAN and (b) I know they’re all armed. Oh, and there is no good freeway entrance at Southern and 101. I mean, if I’m going to risk getting shot, I’d really like the ambulance to be able to get onto a freeway quick, yanno?

You’re not wrong. Someone coming in the 5th inning up 3-0 and no outs with bases loaded and strikes out the side to hold a win for the team is doing more than the guy in the 9th with that 3 run lead and no one on base.

Mariano actually did both roles, and did come in for more than 1 inning in the postseason. He was *the* middleman setting up Wettland before assuming the mantle of closer. No pitcher was more consistent over a nearly 20 year career of dominating the competition in the role they had.

re: #132 Mattand

I’ve been driving a Bolt EV for nearly five years now. Even with the recall issues (which Chevy is making right), it is literally the only car I’ve ever enjoyed driving in nearly four decades of having a license.

It’s still a bit of a privilege thing to a degree; IMO, you need to be able to have access to a home charger 24/7 to really see the benefits, although I don’t think that’s a deal breaker. That said, the savings of gas vs. electric and the overall lack of emissions when driving are huge.

I’m glad to see this news, but in my experience, I still get people who easily could switch to an EV pulling the most ridiculous reasons out of their asses to not do it. It’s usually along the lines of even though their daily milage is like 50 miles tops, there’s the family vacation where they drive to Argentina three times a week that prevents them from switching.

In my case, I am going to continue driving my 2013 Malibu until it dies on me; I have no interest in making the investment to get a new vehicle. When it actually does die (or get totaled — the fate of my past 2 vehicles — only one my fault), then I will consider the option.

One thing with the hold and save stats is that you need the opportunities to do it. Which is your offense creating runs and your starter allowing you to have a lead. And the Yankees being the Yankees in that period pretty much handed Rivera and their relief staff more of those opportunities than anyone else had.

Unfortunately, we’re not all running in the same direction.

New Jersey is running forward, taking the opportunity to enshrine abortion rights and reproductive freedoms within our state laws. Others, such as Texas, are running backward and falling over themselves in the process of stripping women of their individual rights and freedoms.

Is San Antonio known for it’s diverse and yummy breakfast tacos? (the way lots of cities have a culinary identity)

If yes, she used a culinary reality of the city to make a broader point about the city.

If no, her speech writers need to check their use of racial/ethnic stereotypes (in a way that we all should be careful about these stereotypes). IIRC, the “taco trucks on every corner” was originally a GOP talking point about hoards of immigrants flooding the country (please someone correct me if I’m misremembering).

This broken little man thinks being a terrible lover is something to be proud of, and that being gay or bi will cause people to judge you, so should be kept quiet.

In the hyper-masculine right-wing internet community known as the “manosphere,” few figures loom larger than Jesse Lee Peterson.

The Los Angeles-based pastor and online radio host has become a star in conservative media in part for his demands that men and women return to his unorthodox version of traditional gender norms. Peterson’s ideas about gender can be eccentric even by the standards of his compatriots, with Peterson claiming that a woman who orgasms during sex is somehow “becoming a man,” a practice he frowns upon.

Peterson has also emerged as one of the right’s most vocal anti-gay figures. He’s claimed that people who march in gay pride parades are the children of Satan, and that “radical homosexuals are evil.” He’s become a regular sparring partner for progressive YouTube personalities, telling online commentator “Destiny” in 2020 that he didn’t understand why his debating partner was openly bisexual.

“I don’t understand the purpose of putting that out there,” Peterson said. “People are going to judge you, they’re going to look down on you.”

Now several of Peterson’s one-time friends allege that the pastor’s own personal life is rife with gay sexual relationships.

Two of Peter’s former male associates came out in June with on-the-record interviews saying they engaged in sexual activities with him, while other men say he propositioned them. These allegations about the pastor—who in public is staunchly heterosexual—have ripped like an earthquake through the manosphere, prompting some of Peterson’s allies to abandon him and prompting one manosphere conference to ban him.

Even if it was fake, it was just a matter of time before a real story in the same vein occurred.

And it will only be a matter of time until the next story like this gets publicized, probably due to the fact that a court won’t allow the kid to abort her rapists baby.

Call it the Kavanagh Effect.

Vivid Contours Conjure Hope and Resilience in Yulia Brodskaya’s Quilled Paper Compositions

You would swear these are paintings. She is a genius with paper. “Brodskaya captures the subtleties of individual expression and character in her elaborate portraits and depictions of flora and fauna. Through boldly colored papers that are rolled, folded, and layered, she reveals a flurry of feathers or the contours of a face in intricate detail…”

In the near future, a court will prohibit a parent from taking their pregnant child out of state to ensure the child has to carry her rapists’ seed to term.

The story was published in a reputable paper citing a named source but the RW media call the tunes and everyone else dances so there was some disingenuous Qs about its veracity.

Which distracted from the fact that abortion’s been banned in OH w/out exceptions for rape/ incest. https://t.co/ecCU6c6osT

If you’re talking about the US Inflation rate maybe you should also mention that the EU is at 8.8%, the UK at 9.1%, Belgium at 9.65% and Spain at 10.2%

But that’s Biden’s fault, too for not standing up to Putin like Trump would have.

re: #307 Backwoods_Sleuth

Same fallacy that fighter and bomber pilots faced in WWII. If you saw only the planes returning and the gun damage from enemy action, you’d armor the spots where all the bullets hit, ignoring that it’s the spots that weren’t hit are what brought down a lot of the planes that didn’t make it back.

Armor those, and you improve the survivability.

It’s all more of an excuse for companies to gouge consumers in order to make investors richer.

Inflation feeds inflation. We recently had to raise our consulting rates for the first time in 13 years. It isn’t because we saw an opportunity to gouge our customers but all of our vendors have been raising rates and most of them aren’t doing it because they want to either. is corporate greed a part of it, I’m sure at the edges it has some effect, but I know we held out as long as we could.

Do you know how she was “violating the visa waiver program”?

By going to Canada to cat sit in exchange for free board.
