Assuming the latter is not just to distract from the former, also perpetrated by a dozen other Democrat governors and Doug Ford

To be fair, Jeffrey Epstein and John McAfee were in very stressful situations too....

Soyez comme l’oiseau, posé pour un instant

Sur des rameaux trop frêles,

Qui sent ployer la branche et qui chante pourtant,

Sachant qu’il a des ailes!

Be like the bird who,

pausing in her flight

awhile on boughs too slight,

feels them give way beneath her,

and yet sings, knowing she hath wings

-Victor Hugo

It will only work for as long as you're not required to present physical proof.

Except that their audience only consumes information from them and from similar outlets, and even if you expose the lie, most of their audience have been programmed to reject your proof out of hand, rather than reexamine their own beliefs.

Sounds consensual.

Of course, if he(?) were a Party member promising women access to political influence in exchange for sex, would there be any repercussion?

You can't spend three generations belittling, denigrating, maligning, demonizing, emasculating, bullying and shaming men just for being men without creating large numbers of maladjusted men with no male role models, whose feminist mothers and teachers have raised them to hate themselves so much for being men that they're desperately trying to become women.

It was inevitable.

Super Mutant Covid Variant sounds like an anime. Or maybe a Chinese takeout meal.

If they do that, theycwill have demonstrated that it is logistically possible to close the borders, and they'd have no plausible political justification for opening them again, which of course they would want to do.

Missing the point as usual.

Most people know they're lying. Most people know the vaccines aren't working. Most people know the masks don't work. Most people know the vaccines are killing people, probably at a higher rate than the virus itself ever did. Most people know someone who's lost their livelihood, their savings, their families, or descended into addiction or committed suicide because of the lockdowns. Most people know the lockdowns didn't work.

And most people are happy to keep repeating the lie even thought they know it's a lie. That's the point. The point was to create an insane society.

And it worked.

Let's just remember what the Olympics were to the classical Greeks: a society that venerated excellence and achievement above anything else. It was about striving for perfection: about emulating godliness. The point of the competition wasn't to prove that you were better than anyone else: it was about proving you were the best. Those may sound like the same thing, but they're not.

The embodiment of virtue to the Classical Greeks was to push past any obstacle, overcome any hardship, in order to become the best you could be. The ultimate achievement, the ultimate contribution an individual could make to his community was to become the example that everyone else chose to emulate. Men were expected to spend their lives in the pursuit of that goal: it was unthinkable to do any less.

That is the spirit of the Olympics. Or it was, anyway.

Biden is the legally inaugurated president. The Electoral College selected him by majority, which means there is no constitutional way to remove him from office and replace him with Trump.

Even in the unlikely even that the Arizona audit report actually reflects the real scale of voter fraud that we all know occurred, the most that will happen is that Arizona will reverse its declaration for Biden. But since the Electoral College has already met and selected a president, it won't matter. It won't even matter if Georgia, Nevada and Wisconsin all do the same. Constitutionally, the only election that mattered was the Electoral College vote.

But many of the same men who have been accused of perpetrating these crimes against young girls have also been accused of doing the same to boys. You're willing to believe that those claims are credible, but you don't accept that these accused rapists likely also raped girls as well as boys? And then, to back that up, you bring up an incident that has nothing to do with the topic.

Of all of the people on this forum, I am actually one of the most sympathetic to your assertions about women. But you're not doing yourself or your crusade any favours by single-mindedly refusing to accept that it is actually still possible for women to be victims of some things, sometimes.

Kill US citizens while rioting in US cities, get off scott free.

Leak info about the US military killing civilians overseas, go directly to jail. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200.
