The “Serbia” thing was news to me, too. It turns out Dominion has an office in Serbia. That’s it. That’s the sliver of factual basis for the new conspiracy theory.
Leaf posted a Google Drive with thousands of pages of internal Dominion documents that had been provided as discovery in Byrne’s lawsuit. Some showed that top officials at Dominion had communicated with employees in one of its back offices in Belgrade, Serbia, near the time of the election — an otherwise innocuous fact that, according to Leaf, indicated that “Serbian military criminals” were “running our elections.”
The most insidious theories are the ones with a sliver of truth behind them. Because the ones pushing them can say “Do YoUr OwN rEsEaRcH” and lazy people will find that one or two points are true and punt on checking the rest.
Like how these nutters went from “the company outsourced some of their engineering to Eastern Europe” to “the Serbian government is directly writing all their software”.
I mean, I’m all for a plausible theory. But the Qanon stuff just went koo koo bananapants from the get-go. I think initially as a joke, but then later it just was all a sad joke.

My first foray on the internet was AltaVista, at a friends’ pc with dialup connection. Still gives me a nostalgic feeling to think about that moment when the realization of all the opportunities kicked in.
The power vacuum would be insane, realistically speaking, Meta, Xitter, Amazon and Microsoft would race to fill it. It could be a good thing to split Google but it could also go sideways very quickly.
Reminds me of a local restaurant where they train the servers to ask if you want any sauces/dips, and then fail to inform you that they’re charging you for it when you say yes. Shadiest shit ever.
They already tried, in the late 90’s, and a district court ordered a break-up. It was appealed endlessly, and the DOJ reached a disastrous settlement that gave them immunity from anti-trust prosecution in perpetuity. The current Supreme Court would probably use this as a precedent to protect other software monopolies, if it comes down to it.
The company who owns Tim Hortons, formed in a 2014 merger of Burger King and Tim Hortons (and joined by Popeyes in 2017), is called Restaurant Brands International.
Imagine being the type of person who thinks shooting someone after a minor disagreement is acceptable. How angry and empty must your life be to resort to such an extreme response.
The GOP ticket is led by a sexual predator who a jury found “‘raped’ [journalist E. Jean Carroll
Meanwhile, the Democratic ticket is led by a woman who chose “Freedom” by Beyoncé as her campaign song
Okay, but what about women’s rights to health care? Do they have legislative priorities? Which one of these candidates is willing to stack the court or assign reproductive rights lawyers to the DOJ? Any forthcoming executive actions? Policies? Anything?
Was it really that hard to read the whole sentence?
and has dispensed with the mealy-mouthed language about abortion rights to declare she stands for “the freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body.”
declare she stands for “the freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body.”
Okay, so what does this means as actual policy? Is she appointing the head of NARAL her AG or is she just going to put a bumper sticker on Air Force One?
A bunch of racist assholes made that claim while Obama was in office, but they notably never produced even the tiniest shred of evidence that it was even a possibility.
