My neighbor, who "saw" with his own eyes some video about the vote steal is quiet today on Facebook

He's the nicest neighbor you could wish for and does a lot for us. And he reached a new low yesterday:

He complained about VP Harris "cackling" down at the border.

But now the news of the "vote steal" that backfired on him might just be too much. I wonder if the RW news rags he reads are framing this story. He publishes their stuff on Facebook regularly.

None of them are going to say anything until the actual report is released.

I know people get exuberant about things, and I realized the actual report is likely to be close to the leaked ones, but we don't have the jump the gun on this kind of thing all of the time.

The provenance of the "leaked report" is unknown, so it's probably best to wait until they can't use that dodge.

On edit: Their best strategy would have been to have had the "leaked report" ready, and then contradict it in the actual report, so they could build publicity for the actual report and leave egg on everyone else's faces. If that is the case, then we are playing right along and giving them what they want.

It will be interesting to see if the second half isn’t filled with more fraud claims and speculation on why Biden got more votes.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least to find out that a lot of people here and elsewhere are being set up.

Their report is being released today. It will say whatever it says. Doing the "happy giddy dance" over a partial release of unknown origin is dumb.

We are GIVING THEM CREDIBILITY they don't deserve.

Just like Barr went with his own version of the Mueller report.

Get it out first and muddy the waters.

It is the GOP Way.
